Press

Seriously, we don’t like to brag, but we’ve had a few brushes with fame. It all started when President Bill Clinton’s Secret Service detail stopped in and took a few Strombolis back to Air Force One. Between that, and Jerry Lewis pulling up outside in his limo, and a few more than a handful of television spots, we thought we had our fair share of press until Herr’s Foods stopped by one day.

Romano’s was one of the 1,000 submitted for Herr’s Flavored by Philly Contest.  Fast forward…we were selected as one of the three finalists, Herr’s produced our Special Hot Stromboli flavored chip and distributed in all WaWa’s nationwide and all local grocery retail outlets, and we ended up winning Herr’s Flavored by Philly Contest!  We felt honored just to be selected as one of the finalists, but to win? Wow.  We are so grateful that have been able to share the story of our Patriarch and Founder, Nazzereno Romano, who first named a sandwich that they were selling a “stromboli” in 1950.
