I love this place! This place was mid way between my commute from work to school when I was getting my MBA part time 5+ years ago. I took evening classes twice a week in Shady Grove and stopped here almost every time I passed by. One of the highlights of my recent move was the proximity to Potomac Pizza. They have great NY style pizza. Thin crust, but not too thin, balanced with just the right amount of sweet tomato sauce, delightful cheese and flavorful toppings. My favorite is the pizza with pepperoni and pineapple. Where 2 Amy's is a culinary delight, Potomac Pizza is comfort food. Always good. Always consistent. A side note on the dining area. It is extremely casual and typically loaded with families, high schoolers and large group. Just like your northeastern neighborhood pizza parlor, this one is a gem! read more

I don't like this place. The pizza is oily . Limited options of crust. Unflavored salads. Unfortunately if is the only place that deliver in the Potomac area. Time to open a much better pizza joint in Potomac . read more

I've been to this place a number of times due to the only pizza place I knew of in the area. I now know of another options which I will be a patron of (Tally Ho). For a place being called a pizza place, they have some of the worst pizza in the area. It is extra greasy for no reason, the lunch special is overpriced and the pizza toppings fall off because it is just cheese pizza with a few pepperoni's that aren't topped correctly. Spend the extra money (not very much extra) and go elsewhere if like pizza and good service and the feeling where they actually care about your business. read more

This is the best pizzeria in the Betheada area. While I'm not sure it would compare item for item with a NYC corner pizza shop it does have something those places lack: great service and free soda refills. The pizza is very NY. Not as sweet as the NY sauce but if you transported their pie to 72nd and Lex it would be eaten without complaint. The waiter service is always good at Potomac--very friendly and efficient. They provide a monster sized soda cup which I love, being a diet coke fiend. And they are quick to refill it. The food comes out promptly. I appreciate that they let you order a slice of pizza--not enough Bethesda pizza places offer slices. I like their subs and have had good luck with their salads too. Home delivery is always worth the wait in comparison to the larger chains. For us it comes from the Chevy Chase location, but I am sure it is similar to Potomac. One thing I will say is that the CC location has made some mistakes on deliveries to us in the past, so check while your driver is still there. They always fix it quickly and have offered/given coupons for free food in the future which has softened the blow. read more

Potomac Pizza is a nice little place. For the vegetarian, you have lots of options. Always a nice thing! I highly recommend the veggie grill sub: grilled mushrooms, onions, green peppers, broccoli and eggplant and dressing- can't be beat! The Greek salad has to be one of the best salads I've ever tasted. Yummy veggies and a delicious dressing. Additionally, this place caters to the vegan customer. It features a veggie pizza, veggie subs, and any pizza can be made without cheese. The prices are reasonable too. They also give you a TON of drink with free re-fills. I guess the only reason I'd deduct points is the ambiance. It's nice and clean with bright pictures of food on the wall, but it's also usually packed with kids. The wait staff (probably tired of yelling kids) is usually rather unenthusiastic too. Go when it's quieter and you'll have a nice time. read more

Just under twenty bucks for a large cheese pizza? It better be good. Unfortunately I received a melted pile of cheese on top of an oddly shaped pie. The thick crust was relatively tasty, but the pizza was so thin in the middle that all the cheese and oil made it into a soup. Tough to cut, serve, and enjoy. I actually enjoy their other locations so I'm not sure why this was such a bad experience. Hopefully you all have better luck. read more

Recent first time customer here. Pizza left me disappointed. While its toppings were just nothing but a few bologna ham and a few tin pineapple pieces were literally thrown on a dried up pizza, and they call this hawaiian pizza and charged me $9, there was hardly any tomato sauce over the dough, which for me makes or breaks the pizza. Maybe the person who made my pizza was skimpy, or possibly light on the sauce is the restaurant's protocol. read more

Go back to your old mozzarella sticks! And stop under-filling the subs. This is a beloved place that is definitely slipping. read more

I was stoked about going here--I love a great slice of pizza and I had heard all sorts of things about it from my wife's family. We just got into Potomac for the weekend, and when my MIL suggested that we go here, I was pumped. When I saw they had fat-free pizza, I was absolutely thrilled! Those of you who follow my reviews know that healthiness is not exactly high on my list of things that I am concerned about in my culinary life, but when it's not inconvenient, I do try to eat healthy so that I can splurge later and\or eat a lot! Unfortunately, the fat-free pizza wasn't as great as I had hoped. The crust reminded me of Papa John's crust (which I disliked even before the Papa John's in DC printed those "Cry Baby" shirts making fun of LeBron) and the pizza itself was kinda thin. Fortunately the cheese and sauce were good, although I wish there had been more cheese--if it's fat-free cheese, why not? I was pretty disappointed. However, I was able to have a sample of my MIL's chicken salad sandwich, and that was great! Man...I never thought chicken salad without mayo could be so tasty! I'd definitely eat that again. Also, the prices were a bit steep. What's up with that? I know that Potomac is expensive and stuff, but seriously...almost a 10 spot for a personal pizza? read more

Picked up pizza tonight. Pizza was delicious but one of our pizzas was wrong. We ordered a pizza with sausage on half and onions on the whole. But we only got onions on half. Disappointing but not worth trekking back. Be warned that if you plan to do curbside on a Tuesday you will have a very long wait. Our order was expected to be ready between 5:35 and 5:45. We called on arrival at 5:35 but were kept waiting until 5:57. We tried to call to make sure we weren't forgotten but kept getting a busy signal. This has happened on a number of occasions as we frequently order on Tuesdays. We try to order on the early side but it doesn't seem to matter as they're always busy. They seem much busier than Tuesdays in the pre-COVID days. Glad to see people supporting a local business. As for us, we might try picking up on a different night or for lunch instead. read more

When you're looking for good pizza sometimes you don't find it. We found it tonight. Outstanding pizza also excellent hot wings. We started off with garlic knots you must get the marinara sauce. We will definitely come back and eat here again. Hot food good prices. read more

See all

Great service!!!! Good selection of pizza and salads. Perfect spot for a family pizza night. Super friendly wait staff that goes out of their way for you. read more

The pizza is ok. The employees and the service there is terrible. I think the owner is a good guy. However, his employees are very rude.

The place is nice, service is friendly. It is pricy. This is definately a better dine-in than delivery place because the food is almost always cold by the time it gets home (and I'm only a couple of minutes from there). Still, its a nice, causal place for when you just don't want to cook at home. read more

I grew up on Potomac Pizza, and when I get a craving for cheese fries I always make a trip over to PP. My husband and I went there tonight for pizza and fries, and they did not disappoint!! The fries were still as amazing as when I was younger, and the pizza delicious. Totally worth the drive (now that I live in NoVA). I highly recommend PP!! read more

OK. I have gone back to Potomac Pizza since my old bad experience... and they are better. They open the pizza box when you come to pick up and confirm in front of you that the pizza is fresh. The pizza itself is fine. Definitely better than Domino's. read more

Used to like this place but most recently, on a busy night, I had to wait two hours in the store even though I had placed an online order several hours ahead and was in the store at the appointed pick up time. The store was filled with angry customers. Management did nothing to make it up to us. The pizza is quite average and they lost my business. read more

This is a great spot for lunch and dinner!! Has a wide variety of food. Pizza arrived fast and was very tasty. Old bay wings and cheese fries most recommended. Great service (which is very important). I would recommend this place to anyone!!! Thanks Potomac Pizza read more

I can not even believe that this place is still open. The food is and has always been terrible but whatever it's pizza. However the people working at this place are truly the most incompetent people i have ever ran across in any business. If I smoked as much pot I would probably be dead. Such crap read more

For sure the best Potomac pizza out of all of them. The manager, Jeff, is a great leader which clearly resonates with the team. Great service with friendly smiles ! read more

Having grown up in Bethesda, I've thought Potomac Pizza has always had the best pizza in the area.

First time buying a $16 pizza the size of my hand. They said the medium is 6 inches and the large is 12 inches. Really disappointed with this. I expected a normal sized pizza. read more

Many people love this pizza. I can't eat it because it's so greasy. Even my children won't eat it!. That would be fine except the other menu items are mediocre. Service is pleasant, but restaurant decor is boring. If you like greasy, New York style pizza this is your place though! read more

My wife asked me not to write for the sake of the delivery guy but if this business does not soon change direction there won't be any delivery guy. Here is my experience tonight: 1. Ordered from the website which was very user friendly. 2. Called the store twice one hour after the pizza failed to show. They told me it may show up 'any minute now' two times but were clueless of where it went. 3. Almost two hours later a cold and absolutely tasteless pizza arrived. Water literally dripped out of it during the meal. Very ugly scene. Hate to bash local biz but management really have to get their act together here. This is unacceptable. read more

What can you say about a place that takes 2 hours to deliver a pizza 2 miles down the road... when they say they aren't busy! I guess having drivers who know the area or managers who know anything about customer service is too much to ask for,,, read more

Excellent pizza and subs. Stick with simple. If you want a traditional Margherita pizza, this is the place to go. I like their Hawaiian, too. I've not been overwhelmed by their veggie pizza - I guess if you add too many ingredients, it detracts from the perfection that is their crust. If you want something vegetarian, try their veggie sub. Mmm. read more

The Pizza is really not that great, and management is horrible. They have no respect for loyal customers, and call tow trucks on people that work in the community. Our entire company had to boycott this place because of how badly they treat customers. If you're looking for great pizza in the area, go to Tally-Ho instead. read more

I called in for delivery - less than 1 mile away - and it took an hour and 45 minutes. I did NOT call during a busy dinner hour -- it was 3:15 in the afternoon. When my food finally arrived it was very cold and not good. This sucks, I am very hungry!!! read more

Really wanted to like this place but...We had Groupons to try the place out. Even though in the Groupon discussion, they stated they would honor more than one groupon at a time they refused to do so in the restaurant. Thankfully, Groupon refunded our money for the groupons they refused to honor. We had the white pizza and I had high expectations, it was pretty tasteless. Hubby had a steak and cheese sub and the meat tasted a bit off. We only ate 3 pieces of the pizza, took the rest home and then it got tossed a few days later. Worst pizza and steak and cheese sub I have ever had. Service was so so. It was a Sunday night and not really busy (that should have been a sign) but the staff was more interested in chatting among themselves than waiting on customers. Thanks Groupon but we will not be returning. read more

Pretty tasty pizza. Friends ordered it for delivery when we were visiting on Saturday. The pepperoni was a little spicy for my tastes but the cheese was excellent. Would have been 4 stars but it took them 1.5 hours to deliver our pizza which is ridiculous. I would definitely look them up if I was out that way again. read more

- Lunch and Dinner Review - the first time i came here (this is the only PP i've been to) was with my friend after a round at falls road golf course. he said that this was his favorite pizza place (he grew up in the area). so, of course, i thought it would be a let down. but i was actually impressed with the pizza. pretty darn good (for non deep dish!), slightly pricey, but i guess it is potomac. my first time was on a wkend night, so as someone else said, it was jammed with families of 3, 4, and 5 kids! either way, service was fast and efficient. the two of us finished a large, no probs. now i work near there, so i've had lunch there more than several times (can't we start a chipotle in the darn area?!?!). i'll get a tuna salad (3 huge lumps of not too mayo-ee white tuna), gyro, or slices of pizza. quality is good, service is friendly and fast. they don't even mind splitting the bill 5 ways! i really want to rate it a 3.5 star, due to price, but i'll round up. location: crazy busy corner strip mall. have fun with door dings. ambiance: typical pizza joint, but family friendly service: very good food: good portions and fresh value: ok return?: yes, nearly a default for lunch! better than: Ledo's not as good as: geno's! notes: stay away from the far corner table (from the door), it smells. try the calzone, it looks like the best i've seen! the dough is not too thick. read more

Pizza is just so-so. Too noisey for a normal conversation.

We go here quite often, usually after one of the kid's practices or events. As others have noted, the ambience is clean and bright, but usually kind of noisy and hectic. Lots of families and kids. That does speak for the place though, all the locals I know also eat here. The pizza is consistently good, and the other dishes are as well. the pizza crust is medium thin, very tasty and not soggy. the sauce is slightly sweet but not too sweet. They sell pitchers of beer which helps when it is too hectic - you can chill! read more

Waited over an hour for our food to be delivered. We were told 30-45 min. They forgot the sauce for the mozzarella sticks and the food was delivered cold. read more

My 2 stars is due to a lady bug I found in a salad I purchased from this Potomac Pizza location this past Sunday. I ordered pasta with meat balls and it came with my choice of side salad. Lucky for me I look at everything before I put it in my mouth because as I was eating my salad I found a lady bug in it nicely waiting for me to devour it. To say the least I was grossed out, and I didn't finish the rest of my food. It was late by the time I got around to eating and out of exhaustion from a work day I didn't call to make a fuss. I did take a video and pictures though. I've tried the location in the Kentlands and I think its much better. read more

Potomac Pizza - Lady bug I found in my side salad - Pizza Near Me - Potomac, Maryland

Hot cheese slides off slice on first bite. Pepperoni creates pools of grease. Tough dough. Way overpriced

Pretty good pizza! You can never go wrong with just plain pizza. Their sauce has just the perfect taste. Pepperoni's are a little too salty but still great pizza. Good cheese fries as well read more

Awful pizza. Ordered it with grilled chicken and green peppers. Got a 4 hour old slice where they just threw chunks of chicken and peppers on top and didnt even melt cheese on it or anything. Bland, old, awful. Never going back read more

The location was the reason we stopped in. Menu had more of a variety than I was expecting for a pizza joint. Good service and staff. The pizza did the job of feeding us but we both agreed not well enough for a second visit. read more

I've ordered food here twice. Ordered a Calzone once, which was good. Friendly staff. Nice environment and it was apparent that the crowd that patronizes are locals who are loyal and faithful to the place. read more
