Delco Pizza Shop Wins Herr’s ‘Flavored by Philly’ Contest
Thanks to Herr’s ‘Flavored By Philly’ Contest, 2024 was the Summer of the chip!
Since June, potato chip aficionados have been able to vote for their locally flavored Herr’s collaboration. The competitors were Talluto’s Cheese Ravioli and Marinara, and Mom Mom’s Kitchen Potato Pierogi, and Romano’s Stromboli.
We Have A Winner!
According to Herr’s, votes increased by over 50% over last year’s contest. 26,360 snack lovers shared their opinion and crowned a Delco Pizza Shop the champion.
Romano’s Stromboli Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant was selected the 2024 winner of Herr’s ‘Flavored by Philly’ contest. Their official flavor, Special Hot Stromboli blends the flavors of savory cheese with a touch of heat and spice.
The Essington, PA based pizzeria is the oldest family-owned and operated Italian Restaurant in Delaware County. Founded in 1944 by Nazzereno Romano, he is the original creator of the Stromboli. In 1949, he was experimenting with a new sandwich that was filled with meat, cheese and peppers, then rolled into a log and baked. It was eventually named “Stromboli” after the 1950 movie.
More Then Bragging Rights
A collaboration with Herr’s is a pretty cool prize alone, but there’s more! Romano’s Stromboli received $10,000 for their winning entry. The person who nominated them received $5,000. Runners-up, Talluto’s and Mom Mom’s Kitchen each receive $2,500 and their nominators were awarded $1,000.
Peter Romano, third generation owner of Romano’s Stromboli is excited and humbled that his cherished family recipe will be shared with snack enthusiasts everywhere. “As long-time fans of Herr’s, we’re thrilled and grateful for this opportunity.”
The Herr’s Flavored by Philly contest will return next year, so start thinking your nominations.
