Pizza Rating:


What attracted us to this particular place was, first, hunger, then, the humongous pizza slice towering over its bright red store front at corner of Delancey and Essex. While the customer service was quite friendly, the plain slices we had didn't make this any place to write home about. The crust was not a good texture, the sauce did not taste homemade, and the cheese was a little chewy and had that cheap reheated quality that becomes the deciding factor between a bad and a good slice. However, conveniently located at the Delancey Street Station on the F, J, M, and Z, New Roma served its purpose.
