Came to Roey's with a group of former coworkers to catch up. Even though I didn't love my last job, I mf loved the people there. It's important to keep up with people from your past, not only because they are good people, but you never know where they will be in 5-10 years. Unless absolutely necessary, you should never burn a bridge. Just my 2 cents tho.
The group of 6 of us came into Roey's and were seated at the big table in the middle. I got a glass of Montepulciano, which I recently learned how to pronounce with a slight Italian accent. I really just order it because I feel beast pronouncing it.
We ended up ordering garlic knots, brussel sprouts, and 4 pizzas. You could see them making the pizzas right there in front of you with the open kitchen and a woodfire oven in the back. Few things get me going like a woodfire pizza oven.
We got the following pizzas: Margherita, Il Macellaio (pep & sausage), Soppressata (Italian salami & fennel honey), and the Mushroom & Spinach Pizza.
The top performer was easily that Soppressata. The italian salami, calabrian chili, and fennel honey worked well together like the 2004 Detroit Pistons.
The lowlight was the Mushroom & Spinach pizza, as I really don't like mushrooms or spinach which I chalked up to a personal preference. But, it was the only pizza that didn't get completely finished, which is how you know it was middy-wap.
The pizzas, other than the Margherita, were all above $20 a piece and weren't the biggest pizzas ever. I easily could have demolished one myself. Probably 2.
All in all, a great place for a group dinner but idk if I'll make it back.
