Roma is the second oldest pizzeria in Westchester with a claimed establishment date of 1931, but likely starting in 1929.
That's almost as old as Johnny's in Mount Vernon, who underestimates their establishment date by a couple decades (it's really 1922 not 1942).
I got the Roma grandpa pie, which was an off menu version of their plain for decades until they put it on menu a few years ago. It has pecorino romano, garlic olive oil, sauce on top, and mozzarella. It's tasty.
This is totally the pie for folks who like a really thin, crispy, crunchy type crust. But with more flavor with the added garlic oil and sheepy pecorino romano. It think sauce of top also makes for a more flavorful pie and a great distribution of sauce to cheese.
No flop on any slice, well done on the bottom, it doesn't look great in the picture because it's dimly lit. But this is a must try pizza in Westchester.
Best way to describe the crust is somewhere between Johnny's in Mount Vernon (but not as crispy) and a more typical slice joint pizza but crunchy instead of chewy.
