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

Kentlands, not Rockville. Order a small steak and cheese with well-done grilled onions. LTM. read more

Hands-down, the best pizza in Montgomery County. And it's a close call between this spot and Gimelli's Italian Market. If you work near the Kentlands, it's super convenient to get to by car, bike, or foot. I love their two-slices and a drink lunch special because the sausages are little medallions instead of crumbles. Can't get enough of this place. read more

Our closest pizza place went out of business, so we decided to try some other local pizzerias. Saw some good reviews for Giuseppi's and it has been in Kentlands for twenty years, we figured it had to be good. The staff was friendly enough, but that's about the only good thing I can say. The pizza was quite possibly the worst pizza I have ever eaten, no exaggeration. Dough was bland and cooked unevenly; I think the cardboard box would have had more flavor. There was very little tomato sauce, and what was on there was burnt. Cheese was just sort of glopped on. We ordered the vegetarian pizza; the veggies tasted like they came from a can: soggy mushrooms, limp peppers. This pizza was so bad we couldn't finish it, actually threw most of it out, as painful as it was to waste food. read more

I had been to the Rockville location for the 2 slices of pizza & drink deal when I've worked over there. I went one time on a Saturday night when I was doing my side job of rideshare. I splurged and got a 3-topping: pepperoni, sausage, & pineapple. While the pizza wasn't quite as good as the original Rockville location, it was still great. read more

Been coming here for a long time. Only reason I go is for their 2 slices of pizza and soda for $4.50. What a great deal for lunch/dinner. Sometimes they put a lot of cheese on their pizzas so it tends to be greasy - depends on the pizza guy, but it's not like your eating healthy when eating pizza! If you go to Panera and get a sandwich and drink it will cost you around $10. I also like their buffalo wings (no buffalo wing sauce) and fries. read more

Great place!!! I love their Cheesesteaks !!!! Closest thing to Phila I've found. Also make fantastic pizza's. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Try it once and you'll go back again and again. read more

A underwhelming pizza place with a good variety of foods. I ordered a 16 inch cheese pizza from this place. The order was still warm when I picked it up, which is great. However, the pizza, overall, is quite bland. It seemed like they didn't put enough marinara sauce and so there wasn't much saltiness or overall flavor. In addition, the dough seemed quite bland and empty as well. Overall, I would not recommend their pizza. Honestly, a pizza from Whole Foods would be better. read more

Stopped by here with my girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all. We ordered 2 salads one was grilled chicken the other was steak. Those are some of the best salads ever! It's pretty much a steak and cheese sub without the bread but wow the chicken is so good, it's mouth watering. The steak is just as good! I love their food and I recommend to everyone! read more

Pizza is the best in MOCO. I love the recipe from the crust to the awesome cheese. The staff is awesome. Requires some modernization inside. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and it never disappoints. The pizza is always well cooked and tastes amazing. I almost always get their pizza special which is 2 slices of pizza and a large drink. They have fresh garlic as a topping, which is something I've never really seen at another pizza place, so that sets it apart as unique in my mind. And their sauce is amazing. Perfect sweet and savory blend. Highly recommend! read more

I remember going to Giuseppi's in Rockville when they opened over 30 years ago (in a shopping center with Magruders). I was a kid then and enjoyed that pizza with my family often. Kentlands is the closest location to me now, and I go from time to time. When I do, I am always pleased with the pizza I enjoy that reminds me of the flavors I loved when I was a kid. One of my favorite toppings back then was meatball. It's not easy to get good meatball topping on pizza (when you live in an area monopolized my corporate pizza chains) and decades later I can go to Giuseppi's and enjoy those same flavors. I have always liked the crust and style of the pizzas. The staff have always been friendly. There is nothing fancy about the place, but that's not what I'm looking for. I can call in my order and pick it up in 20 minutes. I've had the sandwiches over the years, but it's that pizza that calls me. I have other pizza spots closer to me that deliver . . . but if I'm down to drive 25 minutes round trip to get Giuseppi's, that's a compliment to them. read more

Our first time trying Giuseppi's, we ordered a large pepperoni pizza for take out. The place was busy, seemed like post people do take out. The service was quick and efficient, and pretty much the only reason they get two stars. The pizza itself was very mediocre. The dough was too thick and seemed undercooked in the middle. The sauce was very bland and flavorless. There was an overwhelming amount of cheese, to the point that cheese was the dominant flavor. Save your money and just order from pizza hut or dominos, it will be a better experience. We are usually people who will eat the leftovers of a pizza until every last scrap is done, this pizza was half left and ended up in the trash. read more

I miss this pizza, and my mouth starts watering thinking about it. You also have birch beer, which is awesome. Covid sucks.

I can only attest to carry out orders. My three favorite pies here are plain cheese, veggie and white pizza. The dough is always on point! It's not too crunchy and not too soft. Their prices are a little high BUT you get a lot for your money! It easily feeds a family of 4! #yelpMDburbs read more

Our new go-to neighborhood pizza place. The cheese pizza is terrific. The crust tastes fresh and homemade, foldable and slightly chewy. I find the sauce a little bland, and remedy this by sprinkling my slice with red pepper flakes. The white pizza is also very good, flavorful without being too oily. The Grilled Chicken Salad is wonderful. The combination of grilled chicken, shaved mozzarella and plenty of caramelized onions is delicious- get the Italian dressing. It's my new favorite salad. The delivery hours are limited and hard to figure out - I wish they had a larger delivery window for when I just want delicious pizza delivered to my door! read more

I constantly crave this pizza. Curly fries and subs are great as well.

we gave them more than enough time to complete our online order. When I arrived, I waited in line for a while. Then, I asked a man putting together pizza boxes if there's a separate line for online orders. He mumbled something and pointed to the only cashier who was taking care of walk-in customers. Finally, I got to the front of the line, and as I suspected, my pizza had been ready the entire time. I asked the cashier "what's the point of ordering ahead if you have to wait in line with everybody else? That doesn't make sense right," he responded "yes, I know." I won't return. time is precious, they don't respect their customers' time. there were 3 men there and no one helped me, even when I asked. read more

We have been ordering pizza here for more than 10 years - but lately the quality has gone way downhill. We usually get takeout. The pizza is very inconsistent from one visit to the next. Several times the pizza has been very underbaked and of course, we don't know that until we get home and it's too late to get them to fix it. On Tuesday we ordered a large and a medium pizza. The dough was basically raw in the middle of the large. It was awful. We had to bake it a second time at home just to eat it. There is also a frequent issue with no salt in the crust, which makes the crust tasteless. I think they need to retrain the entire staff! read more

Everything from here has been amazing. My husband and I get takeout to go often. The workers are very nice too

Best local pizza. Skip the crap chain stores. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Love this place

I came around 2 noon few days ago and as soon as walked in, their was this staff woman txting on her phone while standing on the cashier and stared at me as I walked in and then walked at the back without saying hello or smiled. Even if she wasn't the cashier, she could have greeted me and call the cashier to help me. Two guys were cleaning tables and one stared at without saying hello or asked if I needed any help. I was the only customer there and no one acknowledged my presence. Was waiting for someone to take my order for about 7 minutes, then one of the guys that were cleaning tables , came and took my order . The pizza is good as always but just weird vibes read more

The pizza has a nice stringy cheese. The place is setup like an old fashioned pizza parlor. If you'd like to sit in or out there's plenty of seating. read more

Sorry to say, but this pizza has absolutely no taste.... And I'm referring to the cheese pizza... If you go for the pepperoni it will add a little flavor, but it's sad that u have to add toppings to get flavor... Not sure why there is such a big following... My wife did have a veggie melt sandwich and that was pretty good though... We've been here a couple of times and it's consistently a meh ordeal... read more

Perfect chewy/crunch crust on the pizzas. Salads are amazing. Not exactly healthy but delicious and big enough for two.

Great crust, a little flop, some oil, but did I mention GREAT crust! This pizza rates 7.9. A go to spot

We have been going to this place for almost 10 years, we always get the large ham pizza and the curly fries. The guys are awesome and friendly. They are always greet you like friends do! This place is the best thin New York pizza in town! read more

Purely based on the sausage, bacon and mushroom pizzas I have eaten, the place is great. New venture: Vegetable Parm platter and Veal Parm platter. Will let you know read more

UPDATE: Nearly 7 months after the incident outlined below, the stolen item was returned to me and my daughter by a manager at Giuseppi's. He found it in the possession of one of their employees, who was promptly fired by one of the owners the following day. Sadly, the other owner who is normally at this location and chose to defend his staff / yell at my wife for insinuating that one of his staff was behind the theft hasn't even bothered to offer an apology. Props to the manager for doing the right thing and going above and beyond to contact us and return the stolen iPad. And thanks to the other owners who spend most of their time at the Rockville location for being stand-up people and caring about their customers. ORIGINAL REVIEW: BEWARE OF THIEVES OPERATING OUT OF THIS RESTAURANT!!! I used to be a big fan of Giuseppi's as a little hole-in-the wall with decent pizza, but not any more. While eating there recently, my 7 year old daughter had her iPad stolen by thieves, possibly employees of the restaurant. Customers need to beware, especially since the owner doesn't seem to care and their video security cameras are illegally turned off. While waiting for their pizza to be ready, my wife and two younger children were entertaining themselves trying to play some video games. There was barely anyone in the restaurant, and my daughter put down her iPad on the table next to the game, only to find it gone when she turned back around. Not only did the restaurant staff not care, but they refused to allow the Montgomery County police department to look behind the counter or in the back room to ensure that no one had stashed it there! They also told the police that they knew that the security cameras were inoperable... To add insult to the situation, when my wife returned the next day to share news of the incident with the restaurant's owner, he yelled at her for even insinuating that one of his staff might have been involved in the theft. What a way to treat a long-time customer! I'm not normally one to write reviews, especially bad ones, but I'd suggest that anyone who is worried about their safety and security stay away from Giuseppe's Pizza Plus. The owner and staff obviously don't care about what happens to their patrons, and may even be involved themselves. They seem content to allow the place to turn into a den of thieves. read more

$2.50 for a slice of cheese pizza. $5.50 for two slices of cheese and a drink. $0.30 more per toppings. The pizza is New York style with a crispy bottom and crust, adequate marinara sauce, and gooey cheese. There is little flavor to the pizza which is why it is paramount to add the salt, garlic, Parmesan, and oregano to give it any modicum of taste. I think they pride themselves in the simplicity of their pizza, but there is no seasoning in its crust, sauce, or cheese. *This review is more basic than the Ron Jon surf shop girl on the elliptical at the gym. read more

I wish more people would review this joint who actually got a whole pizza fresh from the oven. I think some people are reviewing after eating the two slice special. While this is a good value, you are not getting the real taste unless you are lucky enough to have gotten the slices from a freshly cooked pie (even then, the toppings will be added after the pie is already cooked, so it's not the same). Pizza is only good fresh from the oven, or cold the next day while nursing a hangover. Okay, so here is a review of the pizza I got when I ordered and ate there while it was fresh. The first time I had a pizza here, I got a plain cheese to satisfy my wife and daughter. I wasn't expecting much from a boring cheese pizza, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was perfect from the perspective of an Americanized Italian from New York. It was just like the pizzas I used to get as a kid in NY. The crust was crisp on the bottom but tender closer to the cheese. This is hard to pull off without either making the crust too thick and doughy or too thin and subject to burnt spots. The sauce was just the right consistency and there was enough of it to taste great, but not so much to make it sloppy. It was spiced correctly, but if you like more zing, they have plenty of red pepper shakers, oregano and parm to make it appeal to individual tastes. I've been to dozens of fancy pizza joints with high dollar wood, coal, and probably nuclear fired ovens. But the pizzas that come out of the ovens here are better. With a really hot oven, you almost always get some burnt crust, but these ovens (the same type I remember from the standard NY pizza parlors), seem to control the heat better. In my subsequent visits (I go once every 1-2 weeks) almost every pie had the same beautifully cooked crust. Add the fact that they don't skimp on the mozzarella, which seems to be pretty good quality, and you have a damn near perfect pie. I have been back quite a few times, and I've had many of the toppings, which are all good and plentiful. But it seems to me like I'm masking what is an almost perfect cheese pizza. So for a change up, I'll get a meatball pie, or a Greek pizza, or pepperoni which are all great, but my favorite is still that perfect plain cheese pizza. Now I haven't tried many other items on the menu, but the chicken and greek salads are really good. They use freshly grilled chicken and the chicken salad comes with grilled onions, which are nicely caramelized. Since I love feta, I usually get the Greek chicken salad and ask them to grill the onions. So now that I've made myself hungry thinking about pizza, I'm probably going to hit Giuseppi's up tomorrow night. Pizza, salad, and cold beer is my usual order and costs less then what my wife and I pay for the movie we usually see after dinner there. read more

I just had the worst pizza in my entire life!! I'm so mad I even downloaded the app just to write this review because I was about to cry. How can you mess up a pizza this bad?? I ordered the"Giuseppi's Special" and it was completely tasteless! The flour, the sauce and even the cheese!! I'm even questioning the credibility of previous reviews. I really think a microwave pizza would have been be a better option and way cheaper! I'm glad I only ordered the 12"inch pizza. read more

I do agree with the reviewers that anything but the pizza is very, very, very average ... AT BEST. BUT ... oh the pizzzzzaaaaaa ... If I had to choose one New York style slice in the DC area ... I'd actually choose Giuseppi's. The crust is an odd variant ... almost pretzel bread ... but it's so tasty and it really holds the cheese and sauce well. Yes, I know pizza ... have probably surfed around this area for 100 different slices ... and Giuseppi's is more enjoyable than Potomac, Vace, Flippin', etc. read more

Look, if you've ever had New York style pizza, or any decent pizza in your life, then you will want to avoid this place at all costs. I have no idea what the others are talking about. I got a half plain half speciality pizza, so they had the double the opportunity to impress me. While the pizza LOOKED good, I have never had anything so flavorless in my life. The tomato sauce tastes almost watered down because it had no zest. Each time I took a bite, I wanted to take another only because I had a small taste of tomato and wanted more. But it was never enough; it was like drinking salt water. The crust almost seemed like it was perfectly done, golden brown with a hint of charring. The tragedy was that the bread, as the sauce, had absolutely no flavor. I have had all types of bread from around the world, but I couldn't find a culture that would pass this off as a bread of their cuisine. It had no flavor, therefore, it had no use. And the cheese, or whatever that was. The cheese is supposed to have a little saltiness to it. Oh, and flavor would be nice. But I ate the pizza and didn't even know it existed. It is the only time where "bland as bread" is not an appropriate phrase because the cheese, somehow, was blander than the bread. The specialty had no flavor either, even though it had 4 ingredients. The only thing that stuck out was the imported ham, which was good. In summary, if you want to have delicious ham, there are more efficient and cheaper ways to eat it. Avoid if you're a pizza snob, enjoy if you have no taste, as it will taste like everything else. read more

The staff was very kind and ordering was very easy over the phone. However, the pizza tastes terrible. The sauce tastes watered down, the dough also has no flavor and was undercooked. It was very disappointing because the pizza LOOKED great. But it had absolutely no flavor. Maybe they have some other menu items that are good, but I would not recommend their pizza. read more

I am new to the area and Giuseppi's pizza has truly been a go to five star carry out for us, their pizza has always been delicious and their delivery time was always on time, however yesterday I brought a 12" pepperoni pizza not sure if they switched bakers that hour, the pizza was awful the crust was unusually thick it was an over load of cheese and the pepperonis could be counted on one hand, I think it was meant to be a cheese pizza. read more

Want to grab some exceptionally greasy pizza and fries? This is the place to do it. You'll be full, and so will your coronary arteries. This is pretty much fast food style pizza at its best. They're pretty generous with toppings and will do them by the slice, and their fries are a treat. read more

Good pizza and love stopping in for the 2 slice + Drink special.. but my one (small) complaint is that the crust doesnt really have any taste. Brush a little garlic butter and oregano on it.. or something... excellent pizza otherwise and highly recommended. read more

I ate here a week ago and had a miserable experience. The pizza was mediocre; comparable to your Sbarro's, but I opted for the calzone on this particular occasion. Now I haven't been to Italy or anything, but it's my understanding that calzones have a semi-circular shape to facilitate being able to pick it up and dip it into the marinara sauce while you're eating it. You can imagine my surprise, when upon opening the box, I see a circle looking at me. How am I supposed to eat a circular calzone? Whatever, I cut it up and start dipping it and the first bite or two was not too bad. They advertise that ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan go into every calzone, well I didn't taste a single bite of ricotta throughout the meal, just overwhelming mozzarella. As I continued eating my circular calzone, it began to 'deflate' and sort of ooze oil until a thin film of it was lubricating the bottom of the box it came in. This was enough to gross me out and I had quite lost my appetite at this point. I threw away the calzone after eating roughly 1/4th of it. In short, the pizza is mediocre and nothing special, and the calzone is revolting garbage. Avoid if possible. read more

This is the worst pizza that I have eaten in my entire life. The crust wasn't fully cooked and was gummy in between the part that hits the oven and the tomato sauce. The sauce incidentally wad pure tomato paste with no seasoning and the cheese wasn't real mozzarella. This pizza had absolutely no flavor and tasted in no way like a NYC pizza pie. I'm born and raised in NYC so I know. Oddly the pizzeria of the same name in town center tasted ok. I was surprised that this was so bad. read more
