text: Though it's doubtless that The Roman Candle (TRC) has many delicious offerings on their menu, in my visits to the Willy Street location, I have never been able to get past the pizza. Their pizza is scrumptious, addictive, and just short of intoxicating. A magic balance of flavorful crust, sauces and toppings has been achieved. The incredibly rich, cheesy, and unique Alfredo Pizza must be tasted to be believed. And, I am now a believer...especially in the efficacy of using fresh, local ingredients to craft extraordinarily delicious food.\n\nIn my visits to TRC, I usually include the Triple Pepperoni Pizza. This pie is a carnivore's delight. It sports three different kinds of pepperoni which marry to give this pizza a savory meatiness that I've not experienced elsewhere. With gastric juices now flowing at Warp 10, I usually round off my gluttony with two scoops of Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream--all of which gets washed down with a Sprecher's Root Beer. However, a number of local beers and wines are also available.\n\nI'd be remiss in my review of the Willy Street TRC if I failed to mention their friendly and attentive staff. Food is prepared in a timely manner and tabled according to the customers' wishes. In my visits I have never been greeted by anything less than a smile and a cheerful attitude. The combination of tables and booths is adequate and the overhead music is kept at a comfortable volume. Prices are moderate.\n\nI plead guilty to ignoring other menu items that have been given the same artisanship afforded the pizza. However, in future visits, I hope to try some of TRC's non-pizza offerings.\n\nOne of the greatest pleasures of the human experience is to eat. Don't risk denying yourself the pleasure of The Roman Candle.
