Roma Pizza has the Best Pizza in Lake Helen.
Roma Pizza brings centuries old family recipes, classic slices, and old school charm to Lake Helen, proving that the only pizza place in town can still be the best.
Taking over the space of a longtime Lake Helen favorite Papa’s Pizza, Roma Pizza brings a new era of flavor to the community from its unassuming storefront.
You might think that calling a pizza place the best place in a city is a bold claim. However, in the case of Roma Pizza in Lake Helen, Florida, you would be wrong. And that is because Roma Pizza is the only pizza restaurant within the city limits of Lake Helen.
The restaurant itself holds a distinct old school character, serving as a quiet local spot where the hospitality is warm and the food speaks for itself.
Do not let that geographic technicality fool you, as this is no default victory. Lake Helen is a city of roughly 2,800 residents located southeast of DeLand and north of Deltona. In a small town like that, for a small business to survive, it needs the genuine support of the local community. Luckily for Roma, they have taken over the space once occupied by Papa's Pizza, a 37 year institution. Roma Pizza does not simply coast on that built in loyalty, however. Run by brothers Luigi and Domenico Schiano, the restaurant serves up a genuine slice of the American Dream, seasoned with deep family roots and centuries old recipes. Bringing a new era of flavor to the community, the restaurant itself has that old school character. When you arrive at the restaurant, you are greeted by stacks of cooked pizzas sitting behind a glass, a welcoming sight for those of us who don't remember the difference between a Sicilian and a Neapolitan.
Stepping inside, the air carries the unmistakable scent of baking dough, bubbling mozzarella, and slow simmered marinara. Whether you are ordering a perfectly charred Stromboli, a slice of their signature white spinach pie, or a sweet, cream filled Cannoli, the brothers deliver a high quality taste of Italian tradition. Most importantly, the crust has the crunch that a slice of pizza must have. It is a quiet, local spot in the gem of Florida where the service is reliable and the food speaks for itself, but not literally.
Roma Pizza holds the title of the only pizza place within the city limits of Lake Helen, but their centuries old family recipes prove that their success is no default victory.
So while, yes, Roma Pizza is the only pizza place in Lake Helen, that doesn't discount the fact that their pizza is, really, really good.
