Cleveland Eats: Romeo's Pizza, Medina

Later the same day that I had the rather disappointing lunch at Sully's, I also had dinner with Matt and Jamie at Romeo's Pizza in Medina. Specifically, we ate at their "sit in" pizzeria section, which serves the same food as their delivery pizza operation.

I've been hearing a lot about Romeo's recently, as I'm a regular listener to "The Maxwell Show" here in Cleveland. I thought I'd give it a go, since Maxwell honestly seems to be drooling when he talks about the pizza.

As the guys are on a health kick right now (good for them!) we split a medium "Butcher's Shop" and ordered healthier entrees. I ordered penne pasta.

Well, the pizza was amazing. I honestly think it might be nicest I've ever had. Really. It was their base sauce and crust, though they do other sauces and crusts, and the meats were just great - meatball, sausage, bacon and pepperoni. I couldn't get enough, and regretted not ordering a pizza to myself.

The pasta couldn't compete, and I only finished half of it, if that.

The next day, on my way back from an afternoon of writing in the Brecksville Panera, I picked up a couple of pizza's for Sara and myself, and truly got my teeth into a decent serving size of their "Butcher's Shop". It's very rich and not for the squeamish, but wow.

So, 5/5 for their Butcher's Shop Pizza. I will be trying their other fare ongoing, including their subs and some of their other toppings and saunces, including a garlic sauce which I'm sure really goes well with their hawaiian pizza. Yum.
