When some friends we hadn't seen in a long time let us know they were going to be in town and wanted to meet we were all excited. They said they would be at Roma in Sewickley and, fools that we are, thought it was gonna be a Pizza Roma. But no! Not related! We showed up and walked into a smoke filled bar with a dense haze of thick, nasty, choking level of cigarette smoke. Not a good first impression. We got to visit with our friends and catch up on old times. I wanted beer (duh!!) but the draft selection was pitiful. Who drinks that stuff?? Yuck!! There was a decent selection of bottled beer which was in a standup, serve yourself cooler. Grab a beer, go to the bar, show the bartender what you had and pay for it. That's odd.
Our friends wanted to eat so they ordered pizza. It came and I was appalled. It looked like the worst high school cafeteria pizza you ever had. Picture a triple thick Wonder bread base covered in ketchup with some partially melted string cheese on top. Make you hungry? Me either. We declined. Even without the dense smoke I wouldn't have taken a bite. Maybe the smoke is there to confuse your tastes buds!! The thin crust version which we also saw looked inedible too.
Smoke filled room. Nasty food. Poor draft selection. Not a great atmosphere in general. Nah. Not for me. I reserve my 1 star ratings for places I'll never go back to. This place meets that criteria.
