“Get the Kind Brother, the flavored are amazing and you have a soft dippy egg in the middle to dip crust into.”
“The Saint Louie is great…all I eat is pizza there and every time I go I plan on try something else and just can't get myself to!”
“Last time we had a pizza, grilled pork chops, and appetizer of oven egg and mash and the stuffed peppers.”

I love pizza, so naturally we ended up here for a double date. We were supposed to go somewhere else, but the wait was too long. Luckily, we were able to get a table for 4 immediately!
I'm not sure what other people are so sour about – service is good here. Our water glasses were never empty, and we had our waters refilled a lot. The server checked up on us, and the food came out in about average time. All of our orders came out solid. The pizza was cut into 8 slices and while the slices aren't exactly filling, they do have great flavors.
– St. Louis Ribs ($18): Tuesday special! These ribs were tangy, and I kinda wanna call them blackened. 7 ribs to an order, and there's some bread on the bottom to go with it. Meat wasn't fall off the bone tender, but still pretty good
– The Dangerfield ($20): this one came with cut up pork and veal meatballs on top, and little garlic chips that I loved.
– The White Album ($17): Obviously a white pizza, and it was topped off with arugula. This tasted fresh and really balanced out the meal
– Chocolate Cake ($10): it's not so much a cake as it is a giant smore. The "cake" is more like a giant, ooey gooey brownie and its topped off with a sticky, melty marshmallow. So yum.
This place was delicious. My first and only visit here was pretty wonderful and I am sad that I haven't been back since. Their Ceasar salad was amazing – I am a pretty big fan and usually order it at any restaurant that has it or if I'm in the mood for a salad. Their dressing was definitely homemade (you could tell) and the portion was great. Fresh cheese and big leaves of Romaine lettuce. It was done in such a unique and clever way.
The pizza was incredible. I shared a pie with my then boyfriend, but I could've eaten the entire one by myself – not because of portion size, but just because of how delicious it was. It's a great addition to an up-and-coming area. The inside was cute and quaint and the service was attentive, but also left you alone to do your thing and eat with your date in peace. There is a decent amount of seating and the food came out fast and hot. It's a great place to check out for a casual lunch or also a romantic dinner date.
The menu names are also pretty great, with some really creative pizza topping and combinations. All the pizzas are wood oven and made to order, so nothing has been sitting out or reheated like you will find in some other Brooklyn pizza joints. Move over Roberta's. Speedy Romeo's is here.
I can actually say I had one of the greatest pizzas of all time here known as the Saint Louie!
The Saint Louie includes pickled chilis, pepperoni, italian sausage and provel all cut in squares which equals awesome ass pizza!
My buddy from Queens knew about this place and said it was truly awesome…boy was her right. It doesn't look like it would be an awesome pizza place as it has a big beat up, worn out liquor store sign on top of the building. Once inside, it looks really nice…the outside isn't really that bad but the sign throws you off a bit. Our server Aaron was good at letting us know what options were good. There was a smell in this place that just kept slapping us in the nose in a good way. They were back there making some brisket sandwiches which is on the lunch menu. When I go back I will definitely have to get it as it smelled some kinda good! The other pizzas on the menu look really good as well as the other sandwiches!
Get the White Album, best speciality pie I ever ate! And also the lunch special they offer is great. An appetizer and a pie for 20 bucks.
I really love Speedy Romeo. The brick oven pizza is really amazing, the service is relaxed and intimate. It's a great place for a date, or just to treat yourself to a lovely evening.
My friend touted Speedy Romeo as a place he knew I would enjoy, and he was right (thanks Meter!). We stopped in for brunch and were seated immediately. For a moment, we enjoyed the high-ceilinged space and the warm sunlight filtering through the well-tended window plants, then our menus quickly arrived and we turned out attention to food.
I'd heard incredible things about their oven-grilled french toast, but unfortunately, Speedy Romeo was out of it and we learned that the item is permanently coming off their menu. We all ended up with savory options – baked eggs with sausage ($3 supplement) and a meatball sub (some of us were very, very hungry). The menu description really doesn't do the baked eggs justice – two eggs are baked in a cast-iron skillet with tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, basil, and whatever add-ons you desire, served with a side of salad (topped with a delicious dressing) and a piece of olive oil-slathered, grilled bread. It had a good balance of flavors and felt a bit like a margarita pizza without the pizza crust – filling without being too heavy for brunch.
Our waitress was prompt and helpful in explaining portion sizes and fleshing out the menu descriptions. We also thoroughly enjoyed the live jazz band and the sound level was just about right from where we were sitting, though I imagine the music was quite loud at the tables next to the band.
Speedy Romeo specializes in wood-fired pizzas – we sighted different pizzas on other tables that looked amazing and immediately began discussing which ones we would order "next time." We were a bit disappointed to learn that one of their few sweet brunch options will no longer be available; the remaining choices are a granola dish and fried dough, neither of which are quite as substantial as french toast. However, I definitely look forward to coming back and trying out their lunch and dinner options.
Should be called Slow AF Romeo, but their pizza is good enough for a pass. I went over the weekend and tried the St. Louie and the Kind Brother. Both very different, and both very good.
They need another pizza oven, or they at least need to manage deliveries better though. It seemed like deliveries were the reason our pizzas took so long, even though we were dining in.
Re-reviewing because the artichoke dish is amazing. i would come back just for that, and not for the pizza.
i still don't understand how the artichoke was so good – it was steamed, probably treated w butter, salt, and lemon juice. and that's it?
