The story of Roma® starts with Louis G. Piancone who left his home of Corato, Italy, and headed for the United States in 1951 at the age of 20. After several years working at a delicatessen in New Jersey and delivering cheese, Piancone decided to pursue his own American dream and opened a deli in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, in 1955.
After noticing a need for wholesale distribution of quality Italian products in the area, Piancone switched his focus. In 1964, he sold the retail side of his business and began importing the Italian products he knew and loved to sell to area restaurants. Roma® Food was born.
Over the years, Roma® became the number-one supplier for pizza restaurants with its selection of imported and domestically sourced products that were selected
specifically to meet the Italian operators’ needs. Customers and associates alike looked up to Mr. P for his strong principles, unmatchable work ethic and willingness to give Italian immigrants like himself a chance.
In 2008 Roma® became part of Performance Food Group, making the heritage and quality Roma® was known for available to a nationwide audience. Today Roma® products are sold both under Roma® label and under the Piancone® label through Performance Foodservice.
From imported pastas to authentic-style gelato, there’s a full suite of products to choose from, and Performance Foodservice buyers still go to Italy every year to source the newest, best products. Our team of Italian-food experts also attends the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, every year to greet customers, serve delicious pizzas and educate about the Roma® difference.

WHAT IS PINSA? Pinsa Pizza Crusts differ from traditional crusts by using a mix of flours and a long sourdough fermentation – resulting in a ‘cloudlike’ crust with crisp and chew. Pinsas are literally named for the age-old process of stretching and aerating the dough with the fingers (from the Latin word ‘pinsere.’) After three days of cold fermentation, the dough is hand-stretched to create the iconic fingertip deep peaks and valleys of the Pinsa crust. Allnatural, yeast-risen dough free of artificial conditioners and preservatives!
