Romas Jim Bakery

I would give it 5 stars but three because the little tiny boppers that work there rather stand around and talk than help you, walk past you 5 times before asking if u need help. I will not eat there cause there pizza sits out for god knows how long and that’s gross but if u are looking for sloppy pizza to order and go than 5 stars. This is what we get here. Everything else one star.

Subs and city chicken great. Not a fan of their pizza but my boyfriend lives it. We always go here for rolls when we have parties, too

If you like home-​y subs and horrible pizza, come here! The staff always look like they hate their lives and don’t want you to be making them get you food. They also could use better ingredients in their subs and pizza. Please don’t try their pizza. There’s a Nirchis and Rossis and Nicks down the road.

My husband and I went there for an early lunch while visiting his family in early June. We were clearly eating there as evidenced by us putting our stuff down at a table before walking up to the counter. We ordered slices that were cut with scissors (this would not have bothered me, if anything it would have been a novelty if not for everything after…). One of the slices we ordered was plain cheese. They literally JUST took a fresh one out of the oven, but then proceeded to cut a slice from the old sheet that had been sitting there for god knows how long, and they did not heat it up. I didn’t realize they didn’t heat it up because I had walked over to THE TABLE WE WERE SITTING AT for a moment and I had also went to the cooler to grab a drink. And I understand «first in, first out» when it comes to food, but come on give your customers fresh food or don’t make it at all!
We had also decided to try some sort of breakfast slice that had eggs on it, which was also served cold and so hard it was inedible (and I will basically eat anything, growing up to not waste food and also to value my money and what I have spent it on). Being that we had already taken the pizza to the THE TABLE WE WERE SITTING AT (I keep stressing this because I am assuming they don’t heat up pizza at times, thinking people are getting it to go? I mean omg I would HOPE that is why!!!) we did not ask them to heat it up at that point because of course that is not sanitary. We should have asked beforehand, but of course we also SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED, as it’s not really our job to ask a restaurant to give us hot food.
So, having thrown away the breakfast slice, we are trying to eat the cold plain cheese slice. There is no Parmesan cheese on the table so I go to ask the man behind the counter for some. I guess I appreciate the thought at what he did next, but definitely not the taste. He adds more COLD shredded mozzarella to it, making it even more inedible. We ended up having to go elsewhere to actually EAT lunch that day :(
The beverage we got from the cooler was fine though, ha.

OK… Time for an update. I stopped by Romas, cold like. In otherwords, I had no idea what I was going to get when I first got there. I was immediately greeted by a nice young lady and I proceeded to order up a couple of Italian Subs. The girl creating the subs was making a masterpiece. The meats were sliced fresh, sub roll fantastic. While this was happening I noticed a pizza was just pulled from the oven. I asked if I could have a ¼ sheet as the pizza looked darn tasty. So here goes… No order via phone, just walked in, ordered and I have to say the sub was one of the best I ever had, the pizza was great. From the way things looked that day, everything was coming together as more people walked in and were immediately served. I don’t like giving a bad review and I’ll usually go back to see if things have changed. Romas was running perfectly and the food was excellent which is why there’s 5 stars up there.

i feel like this place has potential, but seeing as how they’ve been around a while i feel they are probably set in their ways. i’ll breakdown what i’ve had from them and review each item.
the pizza– this is the big draw. the first time i had it i tried a pizza that was half plain and half sausage and pepperoni. the sausage was just ok but the pepperoni was kinda bland and they didn’t put much of it on there. the dough seemed like it could have used a little more time in the oven. the sauce was ok and the cheese was good but i felt that the bread overpowered everything. so next time i ordered extra cheese and it was a lot better, much more flavorful and the extra cheese must have had them keep it in the oven for a little longer because the crust was a little more done and it helped make a better pizza. i would definitely recommend ordering extra cheese.
the bread– this is their next biggest seller (at least that’s what i assume). i tried a loaf of their uncut italian bread and got a pack of their sub rolls. the texture for both was perfect, but the bread had a really yeasty flavor to it that i didn’t care for, especially since i was using the bread to make french toast.
the wings– ok so here’s where there’s lost potential. the wings are good, and they are breaded in a way that no one else in the area does (at least to my knowledge anyways). but the problem is that they fry them up in huge batches, sauce them, and then leave them in a display case, so you’re never getting fresh out of the fryer wings. i understand that breading them like that and frying them to order could be a pain, but at least they could just leave them unsauced, and then reheat them in the fryer when they are ordered and then put the sauce on, that would make them so much better. out of the 3 times i ordered them, they were only heated up once, which was done in the oven, the other 2 times i had to microwave them when i got home. the hot sauce is good, and the bbq is good too, but it tasted like a bottled BBQ sauce called Open Pit BBQ. it’s a decent sauce but i dunno if i like it on wings, they could have picked a better bbq sauce.
desserts– most of the desserts on display don’t look like they are made in house. i haven’t tried much, i tried a donut and a canoli. the canoli didn’t really have any flavor. the donut had a good flavor but the texture was really soft, it was ok but i think i’ll skip them in the future.
misc– i also tried the city chicken, ribs, and a sub. the city chicken had a good flavor but again then make it in big batches and leave it in a display case and don’t heat it when you order it. the ribs were ok for baked ribs slathered in bottled sauce, but they don’t really last past lunch so if you want them, get there early. the sub i got was ok, it would have been better if i didn’t taste the yeast from the bread.
all in all, this place is ok, but i dunno that i’d ever crave it. the cheese on the pizza is similar to Vestal Bakery, which in my opinion does pizza and bread a lot better than romas. i’ve never had any issues with the workers like some people have had on here, just wanted to put that out here. if you grew up on this stuff and you love it then by all means go here, but if you’re in the mood for something new that will blow you away, then approach with caution.

This is what bread and rolls should taste like EVERYWHERE. Pure magic. Sorry Felix, your brother Jim is the master bread maker. real respectable pizza too.

Awesome bread, bread, subs, cold cuts… Ok this place is awesome at everything. One-​stop-​shop for italian dinners (pizza/​pasta/​chicken parm, etc.), sheets of pizzas, subs, desserts, and bread. Very reasonably priced, and they even have a seating area if you feel like sitting down and eating there.
Great bread and subs, and the owners are super nice. Solid local place for sandwiches and bread.

Some of the most tasty, but drippy pizza you will eat. The subs and sandwiches are good too. Highly recommend. Restaurant can be a little dirty depending on when you go.

The white pizza here is wonderful! If only I get could this in Texas…

Seriously could go for a sheet now. First stop when I go back to my home town. anyone

I lived in Endicott for 21 years. I grew up with Jim Romas Bakery. My best friend and neighbor worked there for many years. My family would get a sheet size pizza on Friday nights for the family. By sheet size, I mean at least 24 slices of pizza cut into squares. Awesome sause and lots of mozzerella cheese. You can also get great Italian subs and other side dishes at the deli. They offer a wide variety of Italian
favorite is Jim Romas sliced Italian bread. They make it fresh everyday 7 days a week. I was recently back in Endicott a few months ago and bought 3 loaves to go. I had to pass the bread through security at the airport in order to take the bread back home with me to Florida. Ahh…the great memories of Jim Romas Bakery will always be with
is a must stop for anyone (Italian or not).

I’m a fan for one reason only, the consistency. It is most certainly not the best food or the best priced. But it’s fast and you know you getting a sloppy piece of pizza that some how manages to taste good despite its looks. That and their «Meatball» sub is the equivalent to a sloppy joe but for some reason I almost always have to get one when I go in there.
Almost forgot, If you manage to get it fresh get the breakfast pizza they stop making that early and their white pizza is actually pretty good… drinks are over priced. (sigh)
