I wish I could tell you about the food but I didn't eat it. I was going to visit my wife who is in physical rehab, I stopped here to order a medium cheese pizza and 10 wings. I haven't eaten dinner with my wife in weeks since her injury. They said 20 minutes and I said I'll come back. I come back probably 30 minutes later to find that my pizza isn't even in the oven yet.... I have to wait another 20 minutes. Now I will say the guy cooking the pizzas (owner?) Was nice and upgraded my pizza to a large free of charge, awesome! I get back to my wife, open the box and the pizza was clearly under cooked. I don't have pics, I was starving and disappointed. Now this did not have to be a big deal, apparently the restaurant was busy and I get that, sometimes mistakes are made. I bring the pizza back and said the dough is raw. Immediately the cook says whats that mean? I said raw, undercooked. The dough is raw. He says its not raw, I just don't know what melted cheese looks like on the crust. Really? I've been eating pizza all my life, I can tell the difference between raw dough and mozzarella. The guy proceeds to eat the pizza on front of me telling me its delicious and there is nothing wrong with it. Very unprofessional attitude, the 2 women working there were fantastic and helpful. With that being said, maybe dude was having a bad day I don't know. I wasn't even going to do a review until I got so much attitude from the owner/pizza "chef". They said they will refund my whole order. Also apparently you don't get Bleu cheese or ranch with wings here because I didn’t. I see the other reviews and hope this was just a bad day. I won't be returning though.

First time customer. Very satisfied! The lady on phone was very nice also delivery lady was a sweetheart. We had ham and cheese calzone a little short on ham but it was good also eggplant sub was very good. Price was a little steep but that's all over. You don't mind paying a little more when the food is delightful!!! We will order again. Thank you all from Boyz Of Italy!!

We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. We loved the place. We had their large cheese and 20 wing special and added mushrooms to it, absolutely delicious. The whole family heartily approved. I'd make the trip to Rome JUST to eat here. More

Service was good, but pasta falls flat. It seems like basic store-bought sauce is dumped with noodles. With how simple pasta is, you could make your own at home for the same time and at a fraction of the price. … More

Their subs are pricey and awful. You literally get one layer of meat and cheese, it’s all bread. They don’t even put oil on it, they put some sort of Italian dressing. If I wanted a poorly made overpriced sub, I’d go to Subway. More

Boyz From Italy has completely gone downhill. The food quality isn’t what it used to be, the people answering the phone act like you’re bothering them, and the hours change constantly. I wish I could say it was just a bad day here and there, but nope — this is every single time we order now.
My parents live FIVE minutes away, and somehow even a simple salad takes over an hour, despite them confidently saying “30 minutes.” Today we ordered at 3:13 PM, and by 4:15 PM it still wasn’t ready. That’s not just bad service — that’s pathetic.
If you don’t want to take orders, fine, but at least be honest about your wait times and try treating customers like you actually want their business.

We were on the NY State Park's Erie Canal Bicycle ride and arrived into Rome early and hungry. So we're first timers. Diane was our server. Very cordial and attentive at all the right times. We order a cheese pizza slice. Excellent and flavorful. Yes, we would return when in the area. Give it a go; hopefully, you won't be disappointed.

Great pizza place right down from the capitol theatre in Rome. They’ve got a full menu of food and a dining room too. By far the pizza in/house for slices is the best when you get it by the slice; it’s thinner than you’ll get for take home, and it’s perfectly crispy on the bottom!

Kid making the pizza had an attitude.
They had no Pepsi, after I asked for one and paid then acted surprised when I shruk my shouldersvin disbelief when I told her she was out, she says she didn't put the order in for Pepsi.
Pizza isn't the worst, isn't the best either..
Just another typical pizzeria, with no atmosphere, no positive energy. Just attitude and greasy pizza.

Amazing pizza legit worth the ride. The meatball parm? Let’s just say it existed. We pedaled 15 miles to try this place, so we were committed... unlike the cashier, who greeted us like we’d just insulted her ancestors. Truly a people person. But hey, the pizza by the slice was solid crispy, cheesy, and didn’t judge us for being sweaty and hungry.
