The pizza here is always spectacular. I really appreciate the consistency in quality. When I order a large with black olives I know it's going to be covered in them. There's not going to be a few on a piece and a lot on another, every piece will have enough to say that it's a black olive pizza. The service is great and fast. Order up at the counter and find a seat. They'll bring it to you. You want a soda? Get up and refill. And talking about the atmosphere, there's enough space for a party here or for a few families to be eating. When I was here with 8 other people, there was enough room and seats for us and other families. Great local pizzeria read more

Tuesday 10/08/2024 Came across this spot while searching for "best restaurants in Maryland" (via Reddit) so I decided to make a visit. I made a call in order for takeout and the service was solid. I got the 2 slice special $7.50, 1/2 chicken parm sub $9.25, side of fries (add on with sub) $3.89, and a whole Philly cheesesteak $15.89. - The (cheese) pizza slices were mid but the crust was TERRIBLE and it brings down the pizza the overall pizza experience. - The chicken parm was slightly above average. It was very cheesy (especially when unwrapping it from foil) but the chicken was low quality based on its taste and texture. - The fries were by far the worst item I had as they were BAD. They clearly weren't fresh and tasted like they had been out for while. - The Philly sub was the best of what I had but it was just alright. I can't say $16 for the sub is worth it as you can get it better elsewhere but that's just me. Overall, my visit was pretty disappointing and I certainly won't be returning. Seems like these Reddit recommendations are leading me to the wrong spots or maybe they're just not for me. read more

Giuseppi's Pizza Plus - Veggie Pizza!!! It was soooo amazing!! - Pizza Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza for takeout. It seemed like most people there were doing takeout also. The service was good, which is the only reason they get two stars. The pizza was very mediocre. The dough was thick and seemed undercooked in the middle. Sauce was bland and flavorless. There was also too much cheese on top, so the overpowering flavor was the cheese. Would not get their pizza again, would rather eat something like Pizza Hut or Domino's over Guiss. read more

Been there ONLY 1 time about 6 years ago (1/26/2020) with my aunt & sister because my aunt's hairdresser said that her mom & 3 boys go there and like the pizza and said that it was really good, so we decided to go and give it a try. Tbh it was really NASTY!!! The pizza was a huge disappointment. We ate inside & got a cheese pizza & a pepperoni w/ onions pizza & it wasn't really good. The dough tasted like straight-up cardboard; it was burnt & black, making it look like it went through World War 80!. But overall, the pizza was really bland, even if you put the cheese or crushed peppers on it. It still tastes really bad. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY! read more

Family friendly Old school vibes for a pizza place Got the games and slot tattoo stickers So much nostalgia Menu was straight forward and had great options; just honestly hard to decide Got the pizza combo that comes with two slices of cheese and a large drink for $7.99 pretty good deal All the condiments you need were put in the open to grab as much as you wanted and the utensils as well. Free refills Got the meatball 7" sub and the provolone wassssss cheeesing Curly fries were amazeballs and of course can't go wrong with curly fries. Quick service for a Saturday afternoon. read more

It was 15 years ago when I moved to this area. After a day of nonstop packing, we realized it was time for a late dinner. We weren't familiar with the area so we ordered from the first place that we could find, Giuseppi's. We ordered multiple items and it was good, not spectacular. About a year or so later, we decided to try them again. When we walked in, they had a poster up that was discussing their political views on a presidential candidate. If I remember correctly, it was on the wall not too far from the register. It was a turnoff for me personally. It was about 5 or so years later when I went there as part of team celebration. I enjoyed the food. Not long after that, I visited again on my own and ordered a cheesesteak sub. It's one of the best in the county. Not too many restaurants serve them so it's good to see a restaurant that does. I've always experienced great service here. I support free expression but I prefer highlighting the commonality which is we like good food. The prices and portion size are very reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

The pizza is incredibly bland, it's almost hard to understand how it can be this flavorless. Both the crust and the sauce lack any meaningful flavor. Consider that against the fact that a 2 topping pizza is $37 and I would never return under any circumstance. read more

This is our family's go to pizza. The slices are big, the dough, cheese and crust are so flavorful. The 2 slices with a soda deal is great and has been my husband's go to order for years. The subs and chicken parm are really good too! We took our daughter's monthly baby photos with their large pizza, which has 12 slices, perfect for a slice every month! The Kentlands location is big and has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone who works here is really nice and very fast, even on a busy Friday night! read more

Added a star for nostalgia. I feel like the one bite pizza guy would like it here. Crispy crust. Decent sauce. Prices are par for the area. But the tables and layout feels like what a neighborhood pizza place is supposed to feel like. read more

Don't come here seriously try any other place... cheese taste old and the dough is uncooked and flavorless. Pretty disappointed

I have been a few times before, usually a good experience, but today was awful. Prices have gone up, no surprise and honestly makes sense, but it seems quality has not. The two slices I received were both kinda terrible. The dough sucked, I mean DRY and actually broke apart in several places when I folded it. Either a bad batch of dough, shouldn't have served it, or old pizza, shouldn't have served it. Disappointed... read more

I've tried two times to order takeout from the Rockville location. I have special requirements (I'm allergic to cheese) so I had questions, and wanted to place my order by phone. but the phone number that they publish (online and on their carry-out menu) doesn't work. this has been a tremendous disappointment. read more

I've eaten here many times over the past seven years and I'm usually pretty satisfied. The pizza is probably a 3/5 stars and the cheesesteaks are 4/5 stars. However, today I ordered a Philly Boli (basically a Philly cheese steak calzone) and was very disappointed. The portion was huge, but there were several problems: - The crust was not cooked through; it was crispy on the outside but very doughy on the interior. - the inside was about 90% cheese (and way, way too much of it) and only about 10% steak. I had to go searching through mounds and mounds of cheese to find even a tiny bit of steak. - there was supposed to be pizza sauce in the interior of the calzone, but there wasn't any. Instead, a small amount of red sauce was served on the side in a little cup. That's not what the menu described, and the small cup of sauce that comes with the calzone was way too little given the huge size of the calzone. - calzone had very little flavor; was very bland. - The menu says that it has cheese inside, so I was expecting mozzarella or Parmesan. It came with mozzarella and ricotta. The ricotta was cold, had no flavor, and didn't add to the dish at all. - in fact, the entire the interior of the boli was cold: the steak (what little of it there was) was cold, the onions were cold and raw, and the cheese was cold. The calzone had not been cooked through properly. This is a problem, because the crust exterior was plenty brown, so they couldn't have kept it in the oven any longer. Suggestion: eliminate the ricotta, cut the mozzarella by about 70%, and quadruple the steak. (I've had lots of these in Philly and that should get the proportions about right). Cut the volume of ingredients inside by about half, and reduce the price by half. Also, pre-warm or pre-cook the steak and onions so that they're warm when served. There is too much stuffed into the interior of the calzone for the ingredients to cook properly. Finally: it's impossible to eat this with the plastic forks and knives that Giuseppes provides in the dining room. It would be nice if they served a dish like this with real cutlery. I broke three plastic forks trying to eat it. For $14, this was a complete disappointment. 4 stars for their cheesesteaks, 3 for their pizza, and 1 star for their bolis, for a total of two stars. read more

Giuseppi's was a place I used to ALWAYS get traveling between DC and West Virginia. In July, they had a great manager, condiments on top. Since then , the food has dropped in quality and now the new management is putting under the cheese. I called and the manager berated me for requesting the pepperoni on top of the cheese! I kid you not, he said "we have always served the meat under the cheese and if YOU require it on top, you must tell us". After always ordering a pepperoni pizza and NEVER requesting any type of way. The pizza has CONSISTENTLY been under cooked and doughy. The last visit, I came in, they must've had an order of 20 before I came, but this managers son who was 10-12 came to try and check us out, before his dad tried to get him to calm down after almost dropping the pizza box 3 times. The ambiance is weird. The manager left the working area and sat down with a woman and 4 kids. The floors sticky. Garlic powder is old, tables and chairs are oily. The tables wobble. I'd expect this from a fairly rundown restaurant, not Giuseppi's. It's a sad spiral that I sadly won't see to the end. I would've otherwise ALWAYS recommend Giuseppi's. Never again will I. Nor will I try it after being told I'm crazy for requesting it a way that's always been served to me. This new management is abysmal and hilariously sad. *edit* my best meals were in august and past. I took my father down a 1.5 hour drive in October to have Giuseppe's and it was horrible. To help with timeline is all. It has consistently been horrible since and I refuse to try it a third time read more

When I'm craving greasy and cheesy delivery style pizza - Giuseppi's is it! I always order red onion, spinach, olives, mushrooms, green peppers and sometimes artichokes with extra cheese. The sauce is perfect, not too sweet. And it's always cooked to perfection, never under or overcooked. Prices are a little higher than competitors but it is well worth it. Delivery is always quick and easy! read more

Frequented both the Rockville location (back before the Rockville Town Square existed and it was between a pottery place and Magruders grocery store, then it moved across the street next to the movie theater haha) and this location since I was a kid. Consistent favorites: eggplant parm sub, steak and cheese, tuna bulkie, and of course, cheese pizza. What makes it for me is the flavor of the cheese on the pizza- it definitely tastes like a good combination of mozzarella and like an aged provolone. Also, my family orders extra cheese on everything, but this is the only place the default amount of cheese is acceptable to all concerned haha Honestly, it's always reliable and always has been; the only downside is that the curly fries have always been reliably kinda weak haha but that's not a large con for me because I usually fill up on other carbs and can get fries with other kinds of meals haha Not huge inside, but this isn't too much of a problem, fair amount of parking, bonus at this location it's free parking! (Rockville location is tricky with all the development changes over there.) Can call ahead to order for carry out easily. read more

Three years ago versus June 2023. Not sure if there is new management, but I had decided to get two slices to go and when I finally sat down to eat. Boy oh boy! The cheese looked stale, it was sort of dried and hard. There was not enough tomoato sauce, nor did it have any type of flavor. The mushrooms were raw and semi-black, and the side salad was soggy. As a nyc native resident, I am extremely dissappointed and had to share my experience to alarm others. The quality of ingredients have also declined, even down to the tomatoes and italian dressing. Save yourself the trouble and seek elsewhere! read more

The best pizza around. Great staff friendly and helpful. You won't be disappointed.

Their salads can't be beat and are much bigger than they appear. Also, can't beat the price - $7.95 (11/10/21) for a salad which can definitely yield 2 meals. Salad dressing are really good - ranch and blue cheese are my favorites there. I had never tried the calamari before - being honest, it was ~3/5. The texture was great but not too much flavor. The marinara dipping sauce was delicious. It was a big portion and only $7.99. read more

Called at 20 minutes before closing on September 27 2023 to order a large Cheese pizza for Pick up only to be told we are not taking orders now . Only other choice was to buy by the slice at $ 4 per slice. I declined but was wondering why would a business with a heated oven not put a pie in and in 10 minutes make a pizza..after all the slices would have to be heated too ... poor management or unsupervised staff is the the likely reason. read more

In our search for the best pizza in our new town, this is not the place we are looking for. Way too much cheese, the pepperoni was under the cheese (blasphemous) and the crust was somehow crispy and raw at the same time. The place was not very clean either. Holes in the walls, storage of supplies out where the seating, chipping paint... The one positive was the staff was kind. read more

We received someone else's order minus the drink. When we arrived at the Giuseppi's in Gaithersburg, we told a staff member behind the counter that we were here for a pickup order for Antonio. One of the staff members then handed us what we assumed was our bag/food. However by the time we got home we figured out we got the wrong order as none of the items we received was what we ordered. When we called the store and told them this, the manager agreed to give a refund for the order amount as we lived too far away to drive back to get the correct items (New Market, MD). However, we have not received it yet. The order number was 256798621 and the total was $50.00. The order was made on June 20th read more

Solid 3 to 3 1/2 stars. I've mainly come here for lunch for their 2 slices of pizza and soda special. Their pizzas are greasy, so just soak up the grease with napkins. Add little parm n oregano, it tastes good. I put napkins under my pizza slices when I get pepperoni too. Helps quite a bit. Their Curley fries are tasty. I add some parm to it with lots of catsup. Their chicken wings are deep fried and comes with blue cheese. They don't coat their wings with any sauce, just plain fried wings. Some of my friends didn't care for them. I liked them. I do like their steak salads. Lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions and meat (lots of it). Good no carb option. Haven't tried their subs or sandwiches in quite a long time. Jersey Mikes original Italian sandwich is so good, will need to try their Italian sub here to compare. Only pizza place in Kentlands that offers pizza by the slice, besides Whole Foods, who now has wood fired pizza. read more

Great pizza. Good price. Regular pizza place when those are hard to find. My go to when I want a slice.

Finding an independently owned pizza place around here is a rare treat. It is so nice to find something other than the awful chains that litter our strip malls serving awful attempts at pizza. Giuseppi's delivers that authentic hand tossed pizza parlor experience to an area that is seriously lacking it. The pizza looks good, but always tastes very bland to me. I've been here several times. Salt helps but I think they need a spicier sauce and maybe to salt the dough. The pizza is so bland tasting that when you try to spice it up with red pepper or salt...all you taste is the salt or red pepper...it doesn't help to bring out the flavor which is missing all together. I gave them 3 stars because I love what they do, but they really need to put some punch in the 'za. read more

My order meat lovers, mozzarella stick, and buffalo wings. The wings were dry and tasted salty and nothing of buffalo. The mozzarellas stick we're pretty tasteless and I wanna say that they were probably bought and not made in store. The pizza was was doughy so it had no really structure with no really taste but the meat that was sitting on top. read more

It seems like all the great spots to eat are located off a corner somewhere just waiting for someone to discover them. And this place is no different as this has to be one of my favorite spots to go to for their twist on the famous Philadelphia cheesesteak. This place has been a staple around the Kentlands area for serving up their community with their oven baked pizzas. But yet, I've never quite gotten to trying their pizzas as their cheesesteak has a vice grip on me. The melted provolone, sautéed onions and mushrooms packed with tons of shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes encased in their toasted bun. Sure it's greasy and can be quite messy. But that's the truest form of a Philadelphia cheesesteak. Nothing pretentious nor anything fancy about it. Add in a substantial amount of well seasoned curly fries and you got yourself a meal to remember. read more

I placed an order right when they opened at 12pm today (a Sunday). My custom pizza (bell pepper, mushroom, chicken) and wings were ready for pickup 20 minute later. Major score! Everything was piping hot when I picked it up, and it made my car smell amazing. It was all promptly devoured at my family's football watching party. Considering I got 3 orders of the buffalo wings and thought my family would go through maybe 1 order, that's saying something! Everyone's been saying how good the food is and asking where we got it from. They're more than generous with the toppings (hellooooo chicken!), so I felt like I got my money's worth. I just wish that the pizza, or chicken on the pizza, had a little more seasoning, but that won't stop me from going for a second slice before it's all gone (we have maybe 2 slices left). read more

First visit: One of the worst pizzas I've ever had. The pizza looked good going in the oven, but the enjoyment not so good. The pizza did have adequate amount of toppings but the pizza sauce was bland and the dough was tough and tasteless. They must have a good following at the Kentlands because people kept coming in. True pizza lovers I would not recommend. read more
