Editorial Review for Romano's Pizza – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Take a New Yorker to this joint. If he doesn't say it reminds him of Queens, it's because he's crying tears of homesickness. Dishes are authentic pizzeria staples (the owner hails from Italy via Ozone Park), but the low price is the main draw. Don't bother if you're out for the fancy stuff.
The Food
Salads are hit-and-miss, especially when the place gets slammed, but pizza's the star: thin-crust and snappy, flavorful and moist, sans drippy fluorescent-orange grease. Abundant fresh meats and vegetables serve as stand-alone meals despite their cameo performances as toppings. Cheeses have an Old-World texture, and zesty sauces, even plain-Jane marinara, have exactly the right amounts of herbs and garlic without any neoclassic minimalism.

The title says it all. I've never even tried any of their other pizza because I'm so addicted to the New York style cheese pizza. Everytime we go, we each order a house salad and a piece of thin-crust cheese pizza. (Hot enough that you have to bite into it c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y; plenty of yummy cheese and not too much sauce; tasty crust that isn't overly crispy!) Then we split a piece of Romano's amazing cheesecake. As far as I'm concerned, that's a meal made in heaven!
Pros: Best thin crust cheese pizza I've ever had.
Cons: The pieces are huge; I can only eat one slice! :-(
