A tale as old as time..rolled into Corolla on a Sat and didn't feel like cooking for night one. I called another pizza place (closer to our house) and they snickered and said that it would be a 2hr 45min wait for any order.. before breaking out the cooking stuff we tried Cosmos. They weren't open. The phone message said they were closed prepping for dinner and opened at 5pm, but that you could preorder online..so at 4:45 I ordered 6 large pies and the pick up time was 5:15. I sent my husband and told him to expect to sit for awhile...the pizzas were EARLY. Overall not my favorite pizza I like more sauce, cheese/toppings. Definitely was not greasy though! For the lightening fast turnaround time you cannot beat it! read more

We stopped for lunch after visiting Corolla's historic village and climbing Currituck Lighthouse. We were in a time crunch and had limited window for lunch (as we were headed to a horse tour). Hostess (bartender?) was friendly, patient, attentive and understanding of our circumstances. Realizing my kids wanted pizza, she advised they could split pizza to accommodate both preferences. Husband and I split a meatball sandwich (bread was soft yet crusty and slightly larger than meatballs--kept meatballs from popping out--and sandwich was tasty). Food came out fast, hot and fresh, although sandwich came out well before pizza (we were in a time crunch so not complaining!). Staff was personable and friendly. Atmosphere was casual with a bar and 2 dining areas. May want to call ahead for large parties as space is limited and verify hours as it's the off season. read more

We visited Cosmos while staying in Corolla on a recommendation & are glad we did. While it's not quite NY pizza crust the flavor was good and the options were enjoyable. Also, always appreciate when we can split a pizza by having sized to both our different preferences. Enjoyed the drink options as well. Additional the staff was friendly and helpful. If this place was close by I suspect we would frequent visitors. Hubs even decided to get a T-shirt . read more

We stopped here for a pizza based on reviews for good pizza. Understanding taste is subjective, I'm gonna say I think most people will be disappointed if you grew up with boardwalk style pizza. The sauce is spicy which doesn't work for us, the pizza is much doughier than we like. More like a papa John's pizza dough. And the cheese or absence of it... generally theres enough cheese that you can't see the sauce clearly on the whole pie. Not real impressed. This was supposed to be real NY style pie and it's fallen way short. $25 for a 16" ish pie. read more

Cosmos Pizza - Build your own chicken parm - Pizza Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This place seems to have changed. They used to have good crust before but the last two times we ordered pizzas from them, the toppings and crust were not good at all. The crust was too crispy and thin and all the toppings were almost burnt brown to the point where we could barely recognize them. We won't be ordering from here again. They do have some unique specialty pizza options though. read more

We went to cosmos yesterday with a bunch of ladies. Matt was our bartender. He was wonderful. He made a mean, blue Hawaiian, and not bad on the eyes either...! This is a nice little spot. Best pizza around very friendly staff all kinds of drinks. Go check it out. read more

I was hesitant coming here because the pictures in yelp did not look like "the type of pizza I like". Lucky for me, the place I wanted to go was not open for the season yet! I'm not kidding when I say this was the BEST pizza I've ever had. I have had NY, deep dish, Detroit style. THE BEST I will break it down from the base to the crust: The sauce. OMG. It had no sweetness which I find objectionable in any tomato sauce. Tomatoes are delicious and need no extra sugar if they are really high quality. The Cheese: buttery. Great stretch. Not laid on so heavily that it ruins the crust. The toppings. Super fresh is always best. But on top of that, they do a great job of even distributing all the topping and make them bite sized so every bite is PERFECTION. Now for the crust. Sublime. I love NY Style crust. It is the cracker like exterior specifically. I find the interior tough to chew because I have jaw issues. This crust. Crispy and brown outside but pillowy soft in the inside. Sturdy enough however, to hold up to the very generous toppings. SIMPLY FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR A MEMORABLE LAST DAY IN COROLLA! read more

Pizza was borderline raw and couldn't be eaten. Sauce was decent but we threw away more than half the pizza because we didn't want to eat raw food. Service seemed flustered and couldn't comprehend the online order process. Wouldn't come back next time we're in the area. Only gave it a go because the place we really wanted to try was closed. read more

We ordered pizza for carry out while vacationing in Corolla. Highly recommend this place. The pizza came out perfect. The dough was soft and they were not cheap with the toppings. We ordered the Supreme Pizza and traded the black olives for pineapple. We also customized a pizza and ordered a pepperoni pizza with banana peppers and bacon. read more

This isn't the review that I enjoy writing. If you make the decision to go to Cosmos stick with the pizza. I had the Italian cold cut sub and it was more bread than anything else. Skimpy and greatly disappointing. Also some of their pricing is ridiculous. I wanted to get some French fries to take away and they wanted $17 dollars for two orders. Needless to say I left them behind. These are potatoes guys not scallops. Stick with the pizza. read more

This one is hard. The pizza itself is not bad and has good flavor. The issue is the price. You get very little for what you pay for. A small White pizza (smaller than the size of a dinner plate) is $18.89. The same with the Margarita Pizza for $19.89. The mozzarella sticks are average sized and you get six for $8.99. Overall, the food is good and the location of it is very convenient, but the price makes us hesitant to return. read more

Had to stray from our usual pizza option due to hours being different in the off season, but it brought us to Cosmo's which ended up being a nice surprise! We ordered two large pizzas and wings for carry out. The food was ready within 15 minutes, hot and fresh. Pizza was yummy with a really great sourdough chewy crust, toppings were fresh and flavorful, wings were large and tasty as well. Overall, this was a win and a nice discovery after coming to the area for 30+ years. We will be back! read more

I was happy to find a place with gluten free pizza so close to where we were staying . We are a group of six (4 being children) so making everyone happy can be difficult at times but this place passed the test. The pizza took a little longer but they seemed to be hammered with large pick up orders so it wasn't surprising but the staff were all great and apologized for the delay. The ambiance was that of a beach pizza joint which was also great. On top of that, the owner is an Ohio State grad and as a Buckeye fan that was the icing on the cake. I would definitely recommend and will be going back when we come back. read more

We are officially in the off season now and we still can't get it right. We ordered pizza, mozzarella sticks, and an Allison's salad. The salad was supposed to have grilled chicken, but it didn't. I don't want to drive all the way back for this. As I was leaving there was a guy who picked up an order of french fries and I said "oh, the fries are THAT good that you'd just order fries?!" And he said "nope, they forgot them when I ordered earlier." Yeah, they're not that busy. Oh and the pizza isn't good. So don't bother. read more

Ordered a large 16 inch cheese pizza to go for lunch at the counter for the family. The counter lady was on her earbuds having a conversation about her relationship problems as soon tand took her multiple attempts to take my order. It took the restaurant about 25 minutes to crank it out. They have a dining room with a bar area for a cocktail if that's your fancy. Pizza toppings are $3 dollars each. THEY DO NOT SERVE SLICES! The pizza dough was very doughy/chewy and not a crispy as I would have liked. The sauce was extremely bland. It is similar to a dominos or a Papa John's style but not as flavorful. It's definitely not the pizza we are blessed to have in the NYC Metropolitan area. The hunt continues for good pizza on the OBX read more

Cosmos Pizza - Large 16 inch Cheese Pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Always order from here when in Corolla, OBX. My go to is the Corolla Classic large pie. Sauce is awesome and the spices are great. Loaded slice but not too much. I mostly do take out but they have a great bar with lots on tap. Cool place inside and they have outdoor seating if you want. Be prepared to wait on busier nights (weekends). read more

We ordered two 16" pizzas for pickup - a pepperoni and a white. They tasted fine, but the crust was much thinner than I would prefer. At $21 for the pepperoni and $22 for the white, it's very expensive pizza and not what I would consider a good value. read more

We were visiting the Cuttrick Lighthouse and it was lunchtime. We had read some reviews about this restaurant and decided to go. It was a very good decision! We got the half meaty pizza and half chicken bacon ranch pizza. It was very good and the 2 individuals working that day were very friendly, helpful and personable. Will definitely go back next time we visit. read more

Food was okay pizza not sure what I was expecting but it definitely was not New York style. The service was great but the main hotline you order from definitely gave me a dominoes type of vibe. read more

Came here for a last night on vacation meal. Service was quick and friendly, ordered online for pickup. Pizza was standard run of the mill. Tasted fine and filled us up. Prices were definitely inflated. Toppings run $3-5 a piece. No complaints, just average tasting pizza for the price. read more

The good - we were given complementary fries, garlic balls and small Caesar salad after probably more than 30 minutes waiting for our food. The food that came was good. The bad- I don't think the chicken tenders and fries arrived until after an hour, our children wanted to leave, we cancelled other food, and the entire meal should have been comped. The staff were friendly, apologetic, but likely not experienced. We have been there before and had good service so I'm chalking this one up to a bad day and being understaffed. read more

Ordered six large pizzas when we picked them up they had put it under someone else's name and then they had the nerve to ask for a tip on a pick up order over $100 and the prices on the website were a lot less than what they charged us Won't be using them much and all the pizzas were cold. What a shame. read more

ordered online and arrived at cosmos and was told the pizza would be ready in five minutes. Fifteen minutes goes by and we find out our order was given to another customer. The cashier told us a replacement would be ready in 10 minutes. 25 minutes goes by and we finally receive our order. read more

Stopped for lunch with my family and had great service and amazing food. Will be back again, thank you!

Ordered a pizza and cashier gave time of completion for 6:55pm and it ran over the time and had to go back to work. Returned over an hour later and they gave me the original pizza I ordered . Total price was $34 which included a 20% tip. What a ripoff and I could've gotten a frozen pizza at Food Lion with better quality and 1/3 rd the price. read more

Food was average however workers were quite rude to my party of five. The environment and the experience left a poor taste in my mouth, much more than the mid food.

Thanks, you assholes, for not just making us wait three hours (understandable when things are busy) but somehow losing our order, and then afterwards ignoring the request for leaving cheese off one pizza, for the person who can't eat cheese. And very explicitly ordered a pizza with no cheese, and confirmed our order with your employee on the phone. I managed to eat after picking all of the toppings off. (This was a $100 total order, four pizzas) I don't know what the hell has happened to the Outer Banks, but after years of vacationing here, this is the final straw. read more

We arrived at Cosmos right before closing. We had been turned away by several other establishments that were also supposed to still be open. Cosmos was the only one that seated us. We had great service overall and we enjoyed the pizza also. The special crab pizza was enjoyed by all. The pepperoni was also Good. The bartender made the teens happy with a pitcher of Shirley temples with extra cherries! Highly recommend. read more
