This is the best pizza in Michigan! I have been going here since I was very little. We live in the Plymouth/Canton area and we try to go there once a month. Their house salad dressing is the best ever too! When you go there make sure you are very hungry because their salad and pizza is very filling. Also it is a Cash only restaurant, however they do have an ATM machine there too. The atmosphere is very old inside but the food makes up for that!

Been a longtime fan of Romas, and want to give a shoutout to the owner Elizabeth and her awesome staff for all their hard work on keeping the food delicious as well as being kind enough to donate a gift certificate for a fundraiser I’m cohosting! Absolutely amazing

Our favorite pizza. Must try the house dressing. Pizza and cheese bread are both loaded with cheese. The sauce comes in two types. The sweet is the best. 4% credit card fee is a bummer though but I understand. We'll just bring cash next time.

Roma's has been our favorite spot since we moved to the Downriver area. I highly recommend their round cheese pizza, it’s always a hit with my kids. But what truly sets Roma's apart is the new owner, who consistently supports our community and never hesitates to provide meals for my homeless children whenever they’re in need.

I am a special education teacher in the Downriver area, and I brought my class to Roma’s for a community trip! The students were able to make their own pizza and enjoy it for their lunch! The staff was amazing and so helpful to the students! Come out and support Roma’s- awesome food and awesome people!

I wish I could remember our server's name because she was fantastic. Our plan was originally to go to this Italian restaurant that my boyfriend found but since they've been on Dace and Chuck The Freak, you have to make reservations. I absolutely LOVE Roma's pizza, I dig the sweetness of the sauce and the cheesey garlic bread is awesome and very large. This place holds a special place in my heart because when my dad was still alive we ate from there almost every time we were at his house (he lived very close). The pizza is one of my favorites and the wait staff are wonderful. I highly recommend experiencing that for yourself. I most definitely recommend bookin it there..

2024 Review: The staff and food quality make Roma’s one of the best pizza spots in Michigan. My husband and I were discussing our top pizzas and Roma’s was both of our #1. 2023 Update: Roma’s continues to step up their game. My husband and I went last week for their make your own pizza Wednesdays. It was such a fun night. They bring out a pan, a rolling mat, dough tools and ingredients and you make it right at the table. Of course, it was delicious but what really made our night was seeing a full dining room at Roma’s. Families were enjoying jumbos - 1/2 one item and cheese bread and just enjoying each other. Plus, now Beth is doing game day specials and pizza of the month. She’s kept what is magic about Roma’s while making improvements. Original review: Roma’s has stepped up their game recently. I’ve always loved Roma’s for their square pizza and antipasto salad, but tonight, they gave us exceptional service along with the top-notch food. It was the first time we’ve dined in since 2020, and I couldn’t have asked for a better waitress. There have definitely been some changes for the better, but what hasn’t changed is the house dressing, quality or quantity of the food.

Outstanding pizza. Got the deep-dish pizza with Italian sausage, pepperoni, and onions. I haven't had Roma pizza in at least 10 years due to living in Colorado. Brought back memories of my childhood growing up eating Vito's pizza. That was in 7th grade, now I'm 50 and it still tastes phenomenal. Introduced my girlfriend to it and she understands why my brother and I love Roma pizza so much.
