Roma Restaurant

“You walk through these doors, you’re family.” That’s how Josh Ball, co-owner of Roma Restaurant, describes the environment of this local establishment. Since it opened in 2013, Roma has been a staple in the Evans community.

Ball co-owns and runs Roma’s three locations (Evans, West Greeley and Windsor) with his business partner, Christopher Allison. Allison’s parents, Chris and Toni, founded Roma in 1988. It’s been a family establishment from the beginning, and Ball believes in carrying on that dining experience today.

In fact, Ball met his wife, Becky, at Roma back in 2004. The couple now have two sons: Jacob (15) and Matthew (10). One day, Jacob was working at Roma when he was on a break from school. After watching his dad laugh and interact jovially with customers and employees, Jacob said “Geez dad – I wish you were this nice at home!” Younger son Matthew also chips in by helping mix dough and roll it into balls.

Ball believes that it’s the people – both employees and customers – who make Roma a special place. He talks fondly about the friends he’s made with customers and employees, and how every day at work is a different experience: “It’s family-owned, and it’s a family within the staff. If you’re around family and they’ve got your back, it’s not work – it’s fun.”

Roma makes fresh pizza, pasta, carolis, salads and more. On any given day, because of the open-concept kitchen/dining area, you can watch Roma employees toss pizza crust, build carolis, assemble lasagna or roll balls of dough. Ball estimates that in the 21 years he’s worked for Roma, he has rolled over one million dough balls.

When asked what people can expect to experience at Roma, Ball answered: “A family environment with great food at great prices.” Roma currently has sixty employees across its three locations.
