Romanelli's Pizza & Italian Eatery, nestled in Madison, NJ, is a charming pizzeria that captures the essence of classic Italian dining. Customers rave about the delicious offerings, from perfectly cooked spinach and cheese pizzas, noted for their flavorful garlic infusion, to a fan-favorite penne vodka that kids can't get enough of. The square grandma-style pizza is a local highlight, acclaimed for its well-baked, thin crust that evokes the taste of authentic New York pizza.
The atmosphere is warmly reminiscent of old-school Jersey eateries, contributing to a delightful dining experience. However, consistency seems to be a factor; while many diners praise the quality and service—citing it as the best pizza in town—some critiques mention room for improvement in pasta preparation. Nonetheless, the community appreciation shines through, especially with Romanelli's proactive involvement in local fundraisers.
With its fair pricing and commitment to quality, Romanelli's stands out as a hidden gem in Madison, ideal for both a casual meal and special occasions. As avid food lovers continue to explore the menu, it’s a place that invites you to indulge in tasty Italian fare while enjoying the comforting ambiance akin to a neighborhood gathering spot.

I got a spinach and cheese pizza cooked perfectly delivered in a timely fashion priced fairly the crust was perfect. Very flavorful with garlic, I am so glad to have found them. I’ll try their other foods as well. Enjoy! Chrisb

Stopped in for the meatball and pasta for lunch. The pasta was under cooked and already made. The meatballs were good, but they have to clean up the garbage cans in the back room which have hard sauce on them.

We went for dinner at Romanellis last night to support a local organization (they do a ton of these fundraisers for local groups) and I had a fan favorite - the Caesar salad - and my daughter had the penne Vodka. The best thing about the Caesar are the croutons - made from breadsticks! And my kids would eat the penne vodka every day if they had the chance. Finally if you’re craving a pie, be sure to try the square grandma’s version- it’s definitely one of my favorites in the area.

1 large pizza and an order of wings. This is truly a hidden gem in Madison, I would've never known. I stopped in to pick up my to go order for dinner. 1 slice of pizza ended up being 4 slices and 4 pieces of wings. The pizza was nice and thin, and the crust was baked well! Nicely done very close to NY pizza. I will definitely try again!

The best pizza I've ever had! Lovely thin crust, perfect sauce to cheese ratio. It's my son's favorite pizza shop and he's a picky eater. The service is great too! They are friendly and accommodating.

Not only does Romanellis serve authentic Northern NJ pie, a rarity in itself, but rarer still, a variety of *vegan* meat and cheese options! Tasty vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni, vegan sausage crumbles, and vegan chicken cutlet are all on the menu. We were surprised and delighted today when we received, along with our vegan pie, a delicious vegan chicken sandwich topped with balsamic and arugula; this item was listed as simply a "chicken cutlet" under the Side Orders section of the web takeout menu. We will definitely be ordering again soon!
