Haven't eaten here in quite a while and my neighbors who were regulars stopped going, but for those of you who do still like this location, plan a trip before June 4 because I've been told that's their last day, another victim of Town Center management.

I wish I could give this place zero stars that's how bad it sucked. If you want some good a** pizza do not go here. There's a dominos close by or Pizza Hut which is 10x better. Whoever is reading this I hope you got some time because I'm about to go off. First off I put his order in at 7, and the eta was 40 minutes later. So I get there at 7:45 right the waitress at the register looked clueless when I told her my name. I could tell those fools forgot my damn order. The blonde waitress ends up walking to the back and yells at me from the hallway it'll be an extra 25 minutes. What the hell.... Anyway she ends up leaving right and avoiding me the entire time. This other waitress comes with black hair and there's just this long period of awkward silence because my damn pizza isn't ready and the lakers are down 3-0 against the damn nuggets. Finally the 25 minutes go by and guess what an additional 15 minutes now!!! Ok now I'm over it I get up looking for a refund and this fool ends up telling me they can do two things 1 put me on some comp book for a free pizza or 2 the pizzas ready. Of course I got that damn pizza because I'm starving. Anywho I get to my friends house finally and guess what the damn pizza isn't even cut AND the damn dough isn't even cooked. I'm attaching photos because this is a damn shame. This place is a damn embarrassment. Do not order from here seriously and it stinks. Luckily my friend was able to salvage the night with some chopped cheese sandwiches. Don't go to romanos go to dominos.

First time at this Romano’s Restaurant and the atmosphere is very nice, We were very happy with our waitress, and the food was delicious. We tried the pork belly deviled eggs & the bruschetta Sampler, Both were very good. Highly recommend.

Bomb food bomb service! Eggplant parmigiana is best I've ever had !! Deep dish pizza is delicious and super filling. We ate there and at home later and next day !!!!

I actually didn't come here for the food. The Concert Lounge was running an incredible show (see the poster for the lineup) and I had to see it. Located in the Canyon Crest shopping center, Romano's WAS a great place to see a show!Tickets are bought through Eventbrite so you'll be given a QR code that they scan at the front door. The line for this show was LONG and unfortunately quite a few people missed the opening act (though it was long enough that you could hear it from outside). Once you're in there's a nice open space in front of you. The nearby patio was where merch tables were set up. Security was pretty chill and the sound was great. Sight lines throughout were pretty good, of course I'm 6'2" so that might be part of the reason why. As of May 7, they moved Concert Lounge shows to the Mission Grove Romano's on Allesandro. I imagine it was moved because of other businesses or maybe residents complained about the noise. Hopefully it sticks there so we get another entertainment option in Riverside.

First time eating here and it was really good ! I got the Chicago stuffed pizza , bruschetta, and a ceaser salad . Will definitely be back to try the pasta ! Overall 10/10 Dining area was very clean and nice .

Their pizza is not all that great but some of the other stuff is pretty decent. The staff is fun. If the bar is full, you have to order food to sit at a table. Seems like that should be what the dining room is for!

Love the thin crust Chicago style pizza!! It reminds me of Barnaby's back in the NW suburbs, corn meal on the bottom of the crust. The appetizers are also good, calamari, Bavarian pretzel.

Food is good atmosphere is good but the female Bartender red head/ Burnette wouldn't service any of the females at the bar would only service the men. Had to have one of the men ordered drinks for us. Quite a few of the other females at the bar were talking about it I just think it's awfully strange?? ?

This place is a new favorite for date night, but perfect for those with kids and families large or small! The food is fresh, and delicious! You wait a while (45 minutes for a medium) for the pizza but that’s to be expected since they’re hand crafted and Chicago-style, and super HUGE! 10/10 would recommend! The antipasto salad and bruschetta with fresh mozzarella is delicious as well!
We got the Romano's Combo thick crust pizza and it was fantastic. Yes a little pricey but that quality and flavor is legit compared to fast chain pizza like Domino's or Pizza Hut. Vibe and atmosphere was ambient and fancy and our waiter was very understanding. Cool place to come!

Well, years ago I thought I enjoyed this place- not so much tonight.3/3/23We bought a VIP table for Punk Rock Karaoke. It said 9pm but I also got an email saying "come early! The good songs go quick!"Without any times mentioned at all. So we arrived about 8:30They were still in restaurant mode but we got our table alright. Then maybe 30 minutes later a guy comes up to the table and asks for our tickets. I show him all I have on my phone, but he says we need tickets lol I paid over $100 for the table already??? He came back and said "they're doing things different now. We ordered drinks. Two mixed drinks and a beer. IMy drink- strongHis drink- weekBeer, didn't arrive till I asked about it after a while. Later, I go to the bar. I point to the menu at a 15 year old Scotch. He says "You're ordering from the bar? Where's your server?" Lol I can't order from the bar?Then he talks to someone else and they run to the back and say"the kitchen is closed"Lmao, OK- But can I get a scotch?!?! I'm dying at the comedy of errors. Anyway, couldn't find what I wanted. Just really lousy service even though two people were trying to help us at once. I will skip this place from now on. Even though I got to sit next to "The most interesting man in the world!"

Party of 4 of us were there for the birthday bash last Saturday night with The English Beat performing. Was a great time and what a fantastic place to see a live performance! That was a great show!!Drinks were reasonably priced and well made. The food was great. The service was impeccable! We had a great time and will be back!

Great pizza spot, bar, and quiet restaurant rolled into one. They have an atmosphere for every occasion. Pizza was good, but the personal pizza toppings kept sliding off so gotta watch your pizza grabbing skills...Kid-friendliness: Kids do love pizza

We ordered a large thin crust, make your own pizza. And a calzone with meatballs. Meatballs weren’t any good we didn’t like it. It had a bad smell in it! The pizza was thin and crispy which we liked. A large pizza is for 4-5 person. The waitress was nice but barely you kind find her. We should wait 15-20 min only for asking for a box and check! Without drink or anything 60 bucks in total with tax and tip.
