Romano's Pizza

Romano’s Pizza near the edge of Montrose and River Oaks resembles the set of a sitcom, like somewhere a show’s teenage main character would accidentally get drenched with an orange soda or unsuccessfully hit on a cameo-appearance cheerleader, all over the background of a piped-in laugh track. Romano’s serves New York-style pizza, which feels obvious alongside the classic pizza parlor aesthetic: semi-homespun framed prints of tomatoes, faux-brick facades, scrappy laminate tables. The pizza is also pretty good, and hits the exact right spot when you want a greasy but well-made pie without any fuss. Grab a few pepperoni pizzas to go for a chill night at home, or a couple supremes whenever a sportsball game happens, or find your bliss and go in a whole pie by yourself on a nice day at the park. Romano’s won’t judge you.
