Roma Bakery

One of my Favourite lunch spots, and I make the drive to Stoney Creek just for Roma’s! The pizza is awesome, the Porchetta sandwich is off the hook and they go through a few trays of meat every lunch so no worries it’s fresh and delicious. They have a great hot table at lunch time with a new special every day.
You can pick up bread, buns, pizza and tons of yummy sweets and cakes.
The servers are very friendly and helpful.
There is a reason they get a line at lunch all the food is fantastic!

This place has that old school Italian bakery feel to it, but their food doesn’t match the upper echelon of Italian bakeries I’ve encountered over the years.
I had their «specialty» which was their porchetta sandwich. For one thing I could see the porchetta was sitting on the counter for god knows how long. Certainly not made to order. Nevertheless, I persisted on ordering their house speciality. I found the porchetta to be fatty, arid, and really lacked flavor. The bread that went with it was equally stale. The only plus to the sandwich was the cheese and grilled mushroom toppings. Maybe I should have stuck with the ‘za.

The plain is available through Fortino’s grocery stores as well. However the bakery offers a lot more beyond pizza. I recommend this as some of the vest comfort food around.

Roma Bakery has been in operation in the Hamilton area for over 60 years and everyone knows of it if you have grown up in our working class town.
As a child I have become infatuated with their plain pizza, which has become the taste of home. I have been away from home for years, and it is the only thing I crave from home for some reason. Other travelers I have met miss their Vegemite or Ghost Pops, but for me, its their pizza.
I am a person who can eat an obscene amount of food, at the same rate of a person suffering from obesity, and their pizza is always the one thing that can fill my void when it comes to hunger.
The pizza is so simple, yet so incredible. Some say its not even pizza, which I can understand, but it is. The pizza everyone always eats in our city and the surrounding areas is their plain pizza, which is simply bread with sauce on it. You can get pizza with cheese and meat on it, but for some reason, the plain choice is the most popular for the hungry citizens. The pizza is so popular you can purchase it fresh at every major supermarket at home, and every school child in Hamilton has had a slice of it as their special lunch meal.
If you are ever in Hamilton or the surrounding area, do yourself a favour and please purchase yourself some of this pizza which dances in your mouth because of their incredible flavours and fresh ingredients. I would consider this pizza as the cities unofficial meal.
