Go Roma - Sneaky Good Chain

Posted by admin on April 6th, 2007 at 06:28pm

If, like kustys so often do when facing difficult decisions, I were forced to list the pros and cons of my friends becoming slaves to the system and getting full time jobs, there may be but one pro: discovering glorious new food spots near their offices. (I suppose getting introduced to random dimes they work with would probably make the list as well but that’s neither here nor there.)

One such place that I learned of while meeting some friends for lunch was Go Roma. This small chain mimics the dining style made popular by spots like Noodles – order at a register, food delivered to table, they clean up, no tipping, etc. It is a pretty enjoyable way to dine in my opinion. No waiting on waiters, food served fast, no tipping, not a bad deal.

The difference between Go Roma and other similar establishments is the quality of the food. The menu is extensive and diverse for such a low priced, fast spot. My favorite menu item is the Goat Cheese, Sundried Tomatoes, and Spinach Pizza. Coming in under $10, the half plank pizza is a very respectable amount of food. While the spectacular flavors leave you wanting more, the substantial size leaves you dreading your next deuce. Goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes really are a match made in heaven and while a common sight on higher priced menus, I respect a place that serves such a pizza at fast food prices in fast food time.
As I said, the menu is extensive so if goat cheese and sun dried t’s aren’t your style, I’m sure you will find something that is, be it one of their other great pizzas, pasta dishes that appear to rival spots twice as expensive, or salads.

I really don’t think I could say much bad about this spot, if you’re short on time and respect flavor Go Roma is calling your name.

To get through your hangover this weekend, you can look forward to a huge article of epic proportions next week. The fear of not doing justice to this historic spot has actually made me nervous to write it the way you get nervous when your friends talk about doing stupid whatnot like getting married. Or something like that.
