Ask six people where to get pizza in Rome, GA, and you may get six answers before anyone agrees on toppings. Schroeder’s New Deli, Gondola, Bella Roma, Andiamo, Mellow Mushroom and John Henry’s each bring a different reason to order a pie.

 

Andiamo focuses on 18-inch New York-style pizza; Mellow Mushroom encourages adventurous specialty toppings. Schroeder’s, Gondola and Bella Roma pair pizza with broader menus, while John Henry’s brings it into a grill setting.

 

This comparison combines online diner feedback, menu information and a few personal favorites, with attention to crust, cheese, toppings and what the rest of the table can order.

 

Review coverage varies, and the comments do not all come from verified Rome residents. Think of the guide as a starting point for your next pizza night: the best fit depends on your appetite, your companions and the style of pie you enjoy.

Schroeder's New Deli, at 406 Broad Street, combines pizza with the familiar comforts of a downtown deli.

 

Its ordering menu identifies thin-crust pies, and a pizza-specific customer review describes a thin, cheese-forward result.

 

Other restaurant feedback often focuses on sandwiches and atmosphere, so its broader reputation should not be mistaken for a unanimous pizza verdict.

 

Choose it when pizza shares the table with calzones, wings or a sandwich.

 

Gondola Pizza, at 1803 Shorter Avenue, takes the comparison away from Broad Street.

 

Among these six choices, Gondola has the widest range of vegetable toppings beyond mushrooms, including artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and eggplant.

 

I especially enjoy the eggplant and roasted red peppers. Enjoy breadsticks with crushed tomato sauce while you wait for your pizza.

 

Its wider menu also accommodates companions who want an Italian or Greek-style dish instead.

 

Bella Roma Grill, at 770 Braves Boulevard, pairs pizza with Italian and Mediterranean choices.

 

A choice of sauces gives you another way to make the pizza your own, and meat lovers may want to try the Meatball pizza.

 

Enjoy garlic rolls and olive oil while you wait—a good reason to settle in and let dinner take its time.

 

Pick Bella Roma when the group wants pizza alongside pasta or other entrees.

 

Andiamo, at 405 West Third Street in the River District, states its specialty clearly: housemade, hand-tossed, 18-inch New York-style pies.

 

A recent local-area review praises the crust's crisp edge and flexible center, along with the housemade sausage.

 

Andiamo takes an upscale approach to ingredients and prices, using imported ingredients and smoked meats from its sister restaurant, Blossom Hill BBQ & Burgers. Those premium ingredients give diners another reason to consider it when they want to make pizza night an occasion.

 

Mellow Mushroom, at 238 Broad Street, is the chain entry in this Rome comparison, with specialty pies that encourage going beyond pepperoni.

 

Rome-location reviews mention favorites including Holy Shiitake and Cosmic Karma, while other comments praise the food and service more generally.

 

It is an appealing candidate for a group interested in distinctive topping combinations.

 

John Henry's Grill, at 233 Broad Street, brings pizza into a broader grill menu.

 

Pizza-specific feedback praises the John Henry pizza's flavor, with one reviewer noting that it was satisfying without being especially large.

 

Check the current pizza offering before visiting, particularly if it is the reason you chose the restaurant.

 

The deciding vote belongs to your appetite: compare crust, toppings and the whole dining occasion, then give a different Rome kitchen a turn next time.
