I had the chance to try this place at an event I was at. It seemed like the large order was ready upon arrival. I tried three different slices. The slices were cheese, Hawaiian, and sausage. All of the crust was a little thick and bready, but not a huge deal. The tomato sauce was light but had plenty of flavor. It was the key part of the slices I thought. The cheese slice was not bad. The sausage slice had plenty of pieces present and there was a slick kick to them, which was a pleasant surprise. I have not eaten a Hawaiian slice in a while, but there was a nice blend of the toppings present. There was not too much of one or the other I thought so that was ideal. Will I go back? I think so. read more

Friendly staff with awesome pizzas. Pizzas have a good amount of toppings and are always hot and fresh.

Went in without any expectations. Ordered supreme pizza. It was cooked perfectly, crisp crust, right amount of sauce and cheese and a ton of toppings. It was truly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Our server was kind and polite and excellent at the job. Has a family owned atmosphere. Will return next time I'm in the area read more

Great pizza has inside dining and ample parking wish they had some increased choices for toppings but they cover a great deal of traditional toppings read more

Open on Monday and Tuesday! My family loves Pizza Stop and were devastated to find out that they were closed on Tuesday until they bit into Cosmos's New York style pizza! Thin and well seasoned with a chewy crust. We highly recommend the Margherita. Tip: If you order the pickles to-go, remove the ranch from the box. It may spill. read more

This restaurant is cozy and has the best Italian food! Adrianna was our waitress and she suggested to order the pizza because it is her favorite. We started with the Antipasto salad and it was fresh and delicious. We chose the ranch and Italian dressing on the side. Both dressing were delicious. We ordered both the supreme pizza and sausage and pepperoni pizza. The sauce to topping ratio was perfect and the crust was crisp perfectly! read more

Absolutely the best pizza on the OBX. Friendly staff, definitely worth the drive from Manteo!!!

Service!!! They can be very rude ! My friend when to pick up order and the server tried to add a 20.00 tip on a call in order!! read more

This place was recommended to me by my grandma who lives close by and she has good taste! Pizza was delish, cheese curds were good, pickle chips were soggy (which can kinda be expected from a to go order) staff was very nice. My only recommendation is to call way ahead because the wait times in the summer are a doozy. I waited an hour for my food... but that's how you know it's good ;) read more

This place was good and very quick!! Our server though worked by himself it seemed was on top of it. The food was delicious but the wicked wings which were suppose to be hot!! Weren't hot whatsoever. Overall the look of the place was clean and had a cool and calm feel to it. I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

Excellent pizza and subs. Great service. Will be returning soon. Some of the best pizza on the obx.

My boyfriend and his family have been coming here for over 10 years, this is my second year coming and it doesn't disappoint! Food is yummy and service is always great! read more

Ordered the Philly cheesesteak pizza and it was ready about an hour later, cost about $20 for a medium, it was good, barely taste the banana peppers and it was greasy. Overall it was okay, still looking for a good pizza place in the OBX... read more

Not NY style. Crust too dense, thick and chewy to be considered NY style pizza. Not the same as I remember eating from 2 years ago. Maybe the dough recipe changed. Won't be back read more

Pizza was great. Light chewy crust, pizza sauce had good flavor. Would get it again! We got the Margherita pizza and a cheese pizza.

Love love the food!!!! Great staff! The margarita pizza is everything!!! Love this pizza gem!

We took home pizza and a salad and we all enjoyed it (both kids and adults) - perfect for families.

Is it a hole in the wall or a local hideaway, I can't tell. There is limited seating available, and also limited staff, but I won't hold that against them in 2021. The pizza was good, not super crisp on bottom but good sauce and crust had a nice chew. You get served with paper plates and plastic bowls. My salad was just basic. There aren't a ton of options in Corolla, but this was ok and definitely convenient after coming off of the safari beach tour, whose office is next door. read more

No masks. Not on the cashier or the cooks. A bunch of people waiting--no distancing. No respect for their customer's health. If they cared about their customers, they would protect them and wear masks. We've enjoyed your pizza for over a decade, but if you don't support our health, we won't support you. We won't be back. read more

Came here on a busy Sunday when we first arrived in OBX. They said it would be about 45 minutes. I arrived on time and our pizza was ready. Some other folks were still waiting and they apologized for the delay to them. The pizza tasted fresh and delicious. No complaints from anyone. read more

Pizza to die for! On a recent trip to the Outer Banks, we tried Cosmos for their Monday special large 3 topping pizza. The pizza was great! Chewy crust. Toppings were plentiful. They offered meatballs as a topping which was a nice change. They were well seasoned and made for a very tasty pie. When I say this pizza is to die for, I'm serious. In the middle of the pandemic, there was nary a mask to be found in this place. They did offer curbside pickup which I could've utilized to be a little safer, but I didn't think of it soon enough. I'll deduct one star for the risk of bodily harm, but other than that, we enjoyed our pizza. read more

We got this after a day at the beach, we ordered 5 pizzas for 14 people, I believe there was 1 slice of pizza left. The pizza was thin and crispy again the lack of topping on the pizza (the amount of pepperoni) keeps this one from reaching a five star location. The service was fast and good. They lady's went and ordered and picked it up before we got packed up at the beach. read more

Best pizza on the island. The pizza has the right crust, cheese and sauce ratio. Always love the Tuesday special and most orders only takes minutes to make and staff is friendly. read more

The way Owen spins that dough back there in the kitchen demonstrates true artistry. Cam is also a true beauty in the dough deparHe is truly inspiring. The restaurant atmosphere is electric and the food is impeccable. read more

Great food, but the cooks and the cashier are not wearing masks! So, if you order and go inside to pick up, you will have to wait in a small space while the unmasked staff tend to other customers. Or wait outside. Better option is to order and pay ahead of time and specify curbside delivery. Aside from that, very good pizza and average subs. read more

Excellent NY/NJ style taste which is an extremely rare find in the OBX! Sauce, cheese and dough all taste just right. They sell SLICES which is a true sign of a pizza parlor along with a simple menu (pizza, subs, pasta) and booth seating. Loved it. I have two minor complaints...why not trust the customers with a true large pie? (The size that they use for slices.) If they don't have big enough boxes for some reason, make it an eat-in special only. They've come so far to be a true Jersey style place...serve a Jersey size pie! 2nd, we came at lunch, place was packed, and there was 1 waitress who was a touch rude. If she can't keep up with tables just let us order at the counter and have a food runner bring it out, or call us up. It wasn't a big deal, and I can see how people hanging out would like table service for beer. All in all, I think Corolla Pizza is a bit more of an authentic NY/NJ style pie in flavor and you'll walk in to see pizza ovens and a guy tossing dough. Both excellent but Cosmo's is much closer to everyone. Happy to have found Cosmo's. Will make it a regular stop for sure! read more

Cosmo's Pizzeria Southern Shores at the Market Place - Large cheese pie! - Italian Near Me - Southern Shores, North Carolina

Definitely one of the top 10 best pizzas I've ever had. We had a large meat lovers and a large margarita pizza. All four of us were very impressed with the quality, the sauce/cheese/crust ratio, and the high quality abundant toppings. I am really glad that we dined in here for the maximum fresh factor. I can't wait to go back. read more

This pizza is incredible. I'm telling you, I've had the critically acclaimed pizza in NYC and this place measures up. My favorites are the pepperoni and bianca pizza. The fried cheese curds are addicting, be sure to order those too! read more

I love Cosmos pizza now. We were scared to give up slice, but they were too busy one afternoon, so we tried Cosmos! Now, it's my favorite!

Fantastic pizza- inexpensive large and delicious. Seemed to be the place locals hit for pizza, not just another tourist trap.

Good pizza good customer service very nice and have good deals.pizza is very warm and yummy

I read all the mixed reviews but still took a chance. The best pizza we've had on our trip! They were super busy when we got there but our call in was ready to go. Good size pie, good price. Cashier was super friendly. Happy happy happy! read more

Best pizza on the Outer Banks and the Sweet Thai Chili Wings are great as well. Great group of workers!

The BEST pizza on the beach, we've tried them all. Always very busy that tells you something right there. Take out and now eat in is back. Highly recommend. read more

Service is rude, woman would answer my question in a rude tone, than implying she was busy than to proceed to tell me to talk to her when I'm their. Why hanging up..... read more

My go to pizza and cheese sticks on OBX. Margherita is my favorite. Check out daily specials !

We are spending our last week in Duck and are finding the restaurant offerings meager. They are either $$$/$$$$ or poorly rated or both. It is a strange community. We have five more days to try a few places, but I can see us driving back south or potentially trying Corolla. For our first night we drove the short but extremely slow distance back to Southern Shores simply because Cosmo's is much better rated than Waves or Pizzazz or any other pizza place close by. Cosmo's made us a pretty good pizza. We ordered our usual, sausage, olive (black since no green olives or Kalamatas were offered) and this time we added extra cheese. This was much better quality cheese than we had at Slice. The sausage is sliced links as it has been at Café Franco and Slice. It was not extremely well flavored, but OK. The sauce was very good, it was not over-applied, not sweet, not heavy or pasty and not over loaded with garlic. We liked this pizza with a few reservations. I rated this one a solid three stars. To add stars they need better flavored bulk style sausage (more fennel) and briny olives, either green or Kalamata. Also needed is a crisper crust, but I am not sure about that yet. Since we carried-out, we may have been responsible for the soggy crust, however, this pizza was made so fast for us that we wondered about it being pre-made or half baked ahead of time. We need to dine in to see. read more
