Romano's Revamped


Romano's Famous Pizza & Gyro - 32-21 Broadway, Astoria, NY 11106
718.626.5292
N/W Train to Broadway

Romano's pizza and gyro spot on Broadway and 32nd Street has a new look. I could hardly recognize it with its clean white stucco-esque exterior and its loungy outdoor seating area, complete with oversized umbrellas. It looks and feels so much more than a pizza place!

An Astorian staple for more than 25 years, Romano's is well-recognized by locals. In fact, Dan was reminiscing about it the other day, saying it was one of the pizza places that he used to frequent when he first moved to Astoria almost seven years ago.

Offering a mix of Italian and Greek food, Romano's could be a quick dinner or lunch stop and even a sit-down option where you can currently catch live Euro Cup coverage.

A sampling of their menu includes:

Appetizers:

Spinach Pie...$3.65
Buffalo Wings (10)...$6.60
Souvlaki Stick...$2.40
