While I love the food and vibe here, the growing list of complaints makes me less interested in going back. I'm happy to see my neighborhood gem continue to grow and build a profitable business, but I don't understand how they simply cannot allow me to order a pizza for take-out?! The guy on the phone yesterday bit my head off while explaining that they were just too damn busy for take out. Busy or not, learn how to keep up with the growth or risk pissing off your base customers who helped you build your place up and will keep you busy when the press dies down. I'm also annoyed that every time I go I have to flag down my server and they seem annoyed that I actually need something from them. Do your job and earn your tip.

I can't stand dealing with Roberta's terrible waitstaff even for delicious pizza that is 20 meters from my door. I used to really like bringing out-of towners to this place but when we're trying to work with a bitchy hostess and waiting an hour for a table we might as well go into Manhattan. 90% of the people working there are just really grumpy and angry at everyone. Maybe if their tips weren't being pooled they would have some incentive to be civil? Or the place is too crowded? All I know is that the waitstaff have cracked under the pressure and act completely unreasonably. As a waitress I know I'm not a demanding customer, after the third extremely negative experience there I'm giving up. I'll be heading over to Cafe Moto when I need a relaxed, enjoyable evening.

I went here with a bunch of gays on a Saturday night. The location is crazy. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by warehouses and a grain elevator. But then all of a sudden you come upon Roberta's. The inside is very cool, with just the bare essentials. The food is AMAZING. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, comparable with Grimaldi's and Fornino. And it is just ridiculously cheap, largely because it's BYOB (or, obviously, BYOW). I was with three other people and we got appetizers and pizzas and with a 25% tip it was only $22 per person. Why did we leave a 25% tip? Because we were all obsessed with our waiter, who was the most delicious man alive. He alone is worth making the trek!
