A Curmudgeonly Restaurant Review - PizzaRoma South

View Larger Map

The Curmudgeon is going to start his restaurant reviews with one of my top, if not THE top pick for good eats in Owensboro.

PizzaRoma South, 3011 Fredrica Street, just closed in on their first year at their new location.

The food itself is something to write about. They have a good selection of Pizza, Subs, a Salad Bar, a small selection of Beer, and Wine. I haven't made it there for lunch in a while, but the place has a great and reasonably priced all-you-can-eat pizza lunch buffet. Yes what better setup can you have for your afternoon nap at work than a belly full of pizza. They have also recently recruited a former chef from the Big-E, Chef Gil, to put together a Sunday Brunch deal. The brunch deal features omelets made to order and I believe is available from 11:00 or so in the morning through lunch. Like any pizza place, they offer delivery, call 'em up at (270) 684-0611‎.

What puts this place over the top is the service. If you visit the place a couple of times, they are going to know your name and probably what you eat. This place is a tight-run ship. Management pays attention to the details and your food will be right. The waiters and waitresses there are extremely friendly, the best-trained in town, and are the hardest working. When you eat there, bring along a couple of extra dollars for the tip, the workers there will deserve it.

Pay attention to the outdoor sign when you come in. The owner has some strong opinions and is not afraid to voice them.

In addition, this is a small, locally owned business, that alone should be reason to support the place. Over the years, the PizzaRoma franchise has built a well-deserved tradition in Owensboro.

The next time you are trying to think of somewhere to eat, well heck, the next time you eat period, try PizzaRoma South. They are located right across from KWC and tell them the Curmudgeon sent you.

Yeah, this review may sound more like an advertisement but I received not monetary gain for my writings (I should probably be paying them). A great place like this deserves all the promotion it can get.
