| - I decided to try Roman Candles pizza after reading a lot of reviews about them and they actually delivered to me in Fitchburg, which not a lot of places highly rated do. Usually I want a pizza and I get a salad with a pizza but in this case I actually wanted a salad and figured I'd get a pizza with my order just to sample some pizza. So with some trepidation I placed an order for one small (12") PPPepperoni pizza and one large House Salad. I called and placed the order, total with 2-2 liters of Diet Pepsi was $35 and some change. They told me it'd be 45 minutes but there was a knock on the door at the 20 minute mark. I got my whole order and they actually remembered my Diet Pepsi which was a big plus. Whenever I order Diet Pepsi they usually forget it or bring regular Pepsi.
I first tried the pizza (see my pic) and it was pretty good. It was like most of the reviews here have said, not extraordinary but not bad either. The three different types of pepperoni were nice. You had the little square pieces, the large thick pepperoni and the flatter, thin pepperoni. The crust was not fantastic but not bad, the cheese was pretty good but not overly abundant but the sauce was pretty bland and not enough of it. All in all it was good pizza but pretty overpriced at $16.99 for the pie in my opinion.
The salad was quite good (see my pic) and they did remember to provide the Vinaigrette and French dressings. The bacon was extra crispy and the cheese was delicious. However they were very skimpy on the tomatoes, I only recall one cherry tomato that was cut in half in the salad and they were also stingy with the cucumber. Oh yeah and just overall the salad itself was not big enough. Quite delicious, especially the dressings, but not enough of a salad to justify the $8.50 price IMO. Also, just a note on the Vinaigrette, I know some folks order this dressing because of the lower calorie and fat but this vinaigrette is pretty thick and very fat-laden tasting and I don't think it'd be something to really be proud of healthwise. Roman Candles makes this and it's damned delicious but I think I also killed my fat and calorie count by eating it. It's so thick it's almost like a chocolate sauce.
All in all this is pretty good food, the salad was actually better than the pizza IMO, although too small. It's certainly better food than any fast food pizza you will find from the chains but I do agree the price is too high for what you get. For $40.00 worth of food (including a $3.xx driver tip) you should get more than 2 decent sized meals IMO. Perhaps this place would be better to order from when (and if) you can find a special or a coupon to use. I'd def. order again but only if I could find some sort of online deal or something like that.
