"Authentic pizza has no surname. Its one purpose in being is to be enjoyed fresh and made from the freshest ingredients available."

What We Make

Each square is crafted to order on our 96-hour dough, baked in the Castelli oven, and finished with hand-prepared toppings.

The People Behind It

Hoa & Tom Donatelli

Behind RomanSQ is a husband and wife duo who, amongst their many interests, share a passion for eating and cooking well.

Having eaten their way through the world in a previous life, an accidental detour from Miami to Tampa led them to Sarasota. A 180-degree lifestyle change presented itself, and they took it.

Bringing authentic Roman pizza to life meant going back to school: training with the world's masters and dedicating the time to research ingredients, prep, and craft each pizza with care.

What People Say

They Say

WOW. The BEST Italian pizza I've ever had in the USA. The dough is incredible and the toppings are fresh and perfectly balanced.

Taylor Sanger — Google

Artfully-crafted pizza, by incredibly delightful people. This is not your ordinary pizza joint. The attention to every detail is remarkable.

Jim Martin — Google

Probably the best Roman pizza in the Southeast. The Carbonara is outstanding. Come early, they sell out.
