Like the great Phoenix,
Roma Pizza rises from the ashes of the great La Mia Pizzeria. Honestly,
we see absolutely no difference between the two. The staff is the
same. The menu is the same. The location is the same. The only difference
is the seating set-up and a new fancy moniker. To us this can only
mean that the old incarnation was busted by the health department
or I.R.S. and needed to come back with a very small facelift and a
different name. Either way, the pizza is still top notch and the chicken
rolls are gargantuan triumphs of culinary delight. It's good New York
pizza with an UES edge. It just hits the right spot with a nice cold
can of Root Beer--know what I mean? The restaurant space itself is
on par with your typical, low-rent Chinese joint, but is serviceable
for a mostly take-out joint. We've also found that it's the perfect
place to order good, inexpensive pizzas for football games and any
other party where toast points are persona non grata. [MF]
