Roman Villa Pizza

Roman Villa Pizza is a family-run Italian restaurant at 3005 N Nevada Ave in Colorado Springs. The restaurant says it opened in 1959 and is still overseen by the founding family, now in its fourth generation. It describes a setting reminiscent of a Chicago eatery serving home-cooked meals.

The menu centers on pizza, including a veggie pie, a Roman Villa Special and a garlic-and-olive-oil chicken pizza with artichoke hearts. Pasta dishes include house-made lasagna, handmade ravioli, tortellaci, baked manicotti and chicken cacciatore. Dinners come with salad and fresh baked bread, and jars of the house Italian dressing can be packed to go. Dine-in and takeout are both available, and the restaurant is smoke free.
