The WORST pizza I've ever eaten. So bland. Don't get the white pizza. You should go next door to PotBelly.

I went here for dinner with several of my other friends and it was a good place to go. The service was quick and the cashiers weren't complaining that my group was taking a while on deciding what to order. I stuck with the classic pepperoni pizza but when I looked at what other people around me have gotten, it looked like anything off if the menu is something to look forward o getting. It will not be a surprise if I come back to this location. read more

Went here for lunch and the $5.99 for two slices and a drink is a solid deal. The pizza is freshly made but lacks that extra zest to set it apart from many other places. They are generous portions in a NY style slice perfect for folding. It gets pretty greasy but the service is quick and its a solid slice through and through. read more

Got the 2 slices and a large soda daily special. Added pepperoni to one slice, total price was $5.89. Pizza was ready about 2 minutes after I ordered- super fast! Slices were hot and cheese was gooey, yum. They have fresh lemon slices out by the soda fountain, which I thought was a really nice touch. Wish I had tried these guys sooner! I'll definitely be back. read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Generous amount of toppings... only 30 cents! - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I ordered 22 pizzas from Giuseppi's Pizza and they were delicious and delivered right on time. My adult children, 8 grandchildren, their friends, my friends, and just about everyone I know think Giuseppi's Pizza is the best in town. read more

Man i Love this place always great staff and service. The slices are great i would get one or two like every day. They also have great deals there and deals that help you get movie tickets. The Dinning room is clean, but on a busy day it can get a lil cramped. read more

Well, you live and you learn. The elderly lady at the register is a little hard of hearing and a little on edge customer service wise. Got two slices and it was practically flavorless, especially the crust. Fountain drinks are a bit watered down.... Just started a new job in the area but will definitely find somewhere else to eat. read more

$4.75 for 2 slices of pizza and a drink....can't really go wrong. The pizza was decent not really greasy but the sauce could have used some seasoning. The restaurant is large and clean; the staff was friendly enough. Overall decent pizza that is quick and cheap. I recommend this to those looking for a quick cheap ok lunch. read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I don't understand the good reviews. Maybe they've never had good pizza? This pizza was terrible. It's definitely not gourmet and made by people who don't know how to cook. They dumped so many toppings in the middle of the slices that it made them soggy and runny. I ended up eating around the edges and throwing the rest away in the trash. Waste of money. read more

Unfortunately, they got our delivery totally wrong tonight. Cheeseburger sub came totally plain, no cheese, nothing. Chicken parm sub came with onions, which were not ordered. Ordered onion rings, none delivered. Called, sincere I've ordered from there plenty of times before, and all I got was, next time you call, mention my name and you'll get a credit. Really? How bout comp my dinner that you totally messed up. Sorry, but you just lost a customer. read more

Best pizza in Rockville! Antipasti salad is also to kill for. Ask for the house ranch dressing. If they have one fault it is they give too much. If you ask for a toppings make it a half portion. Two slices with a soda deal is hard to beat. But for a family of four get a large plane pizza. You will not regret it. read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I got stuck doing jury duty so I decided to check this place out... NEVER AGAIN! I can tell how food will be based off a Caesar salad! Very simple but surprisingly not well executed most times and this was one of them. It was more lettuce than chicken, sauce on the side (which I think is tacky for a salad that isn't "fast food") and croutons. Those were good. I also got a medium fountain drink... All for the low price of $11.77! LOL SMH... Chick-Fil-A has better salad... And for them to be an Italian restaurant they should make one hell of a Caesar salad of ALL salads in the world! I can't imagine their pizza being any more appealing than that... read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - $11.77 for this (salad and drink)... So sad... - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Completely tasteless pizza. +1 star for being fairly cheap and quick -1 star for breaking the law and serving said tasteless pizza on a styrofoam plate If &pizza or even a MOD opened nearby this place would immediately go out of business. read more

Giuseppi's pizza right next to Regal theaters in Rockville Town Center is a great place to grab a bite to eat before or after a movie. The Pizza is tasty the Steak and cheese subs a very good. The food comes out quickly. They serve pizza by the slice and there is plenty of seating inside. read more

Stopped by for lunch around noon and while the place was busy they cranked out orders continuously. They have a pizza special that includes two large slices of cheese pizza and a large drink for $5.50 (you can add toppings for ¢.30 each). This is by the far the cheapest and best lunch option in the area. They offer countless other items on their menu but we only got pizza. I believe they bake the pizza twice, once before you order it and then once you customize your slices they bake it again. This is a major plus because the pizza is slightly thin and the crust has an awesome crunch. You can tell that it's a family owned business and they actually care about the quality of food they put out. We'll be back and you should check it out! read more

Excellent family owned pizza place in Rockville Town Center. You can order pizza by the slice with whatever ingredients you want and the lunch special of 2 slice plus soda is very attractively priced. I have also tried their fries and they are delicious! This is not your place for healthy options, but the food here is excellent. read more

Our pizza was incorrect at first so had to go back to get the the correct one. They said we got someone else's pizza but they just made a mistake. I ordered a large pizza with ham, mushroom and onions and we received it with pineapples. We received "Miguel's" pizza! First bite I took had a burnt taste to it so I turn it and it's black on the bottom! read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Worst pizza ever! - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Great family owned place. Nothing fancy but if you want something quick and of good value try this place. Pizza and sandwiches. Their lunch special is a steal. I always get the pizza and a drink for 5.75 or $6. They don't cheap out on the pepperoni and you always leave full. read more

This was my first time ordering pizza from this place. The customer service was friendly and the pizza was great. However, the Buffalo wings were over cooked. read more

This place has a great pizza, 4 instead of 5 bc the pie could use a little extra sauce to compensate for the generous topping portions and cheese. The service has allways been exceptional, timely, and polite. Highly recommend this spot if your in the area. Just ask for extra sauce maybe... read more

Have you ever gone to a restaurant after reading a bunch of exemplary reviews and wondered to yourself that you just might be caught in some reality TV version of the Twilight Zone? That's what I was wondering to myself while I attempted to eat my slice of slop... I mean, pizza as the cheese kept dripping off of the dough. "The perfect slice"!? "Best pizza in the area"!? "This is the standard which I hold all other pizza."!? Perhaps I should write some erudite phrase to encapsulate the profound astonishment that I experienced while consuming Giuseppi's (if the owner's name really is Giuseppi) as to poetically delineate my nonplussed state, but nothing is more veritable than this pithy expression: Are these people fucking insane?!!!? While I must admit after sampling two pies (one cheese and one sausage) that this pizza is not rancid and it is actually consumable, but it is, without a doubt - sub par pizza. The only difference between this place and sbarro, is that you know that sbarro is barely passable imitation pizza when you go to eat there, but it's the only slice around and you are hungry, so you eat it anyway. Expectation = End result. Now, I almost never write a negative review about a Mom and Pop business, but I have a few reasons as to why I decided to air my opinion to the entire e-world about this place; 1. people need to not be falsely lead here due to exaggerated claims of pizza awesomeness. 2. this business obviously has some dedicated customers, so I doubt my review will have little to no effect on their sales. 3. Pittsburgh. I don't know if the owners are from Pittsburgh or just Pittsburgh fans, and I don't know if this is how they like their pizza in Pittsburgh, but if Pittsburgh truly is the Valhalla of all American cities, then why aren't you living there? Perhaps this is just a irksome pet peeve of mine due to the rather large numbers of expatriate Pittsburghians whom I have encountered over the years in metropolitan area, who bemoan ad nauseum about living in DC while simultaneously waxing nostalgic for the wonderland of the three rivers. There. I said it. Perhaps my micro tirade will motivate "Giuseppi" to move back to Pittsburgh and some new expatriate owner from another American city can take over this pizza/sub shop? Someone from, say.... New York?? Or Chicago, even? read more

Classic, school-lunch pizza: dripping with grease, but delicious. It's like eating nostalgia. Their buffalo wings are also quite good!

My son and I went there for a Friday night out about a month ago. This review is well overdue. Honestly, I didn't have any expectations when we arrived. I figured it would be a fairly mundane and average slice of pizza. I was wrong The pizza was very good! The pizza was hot and the toppings were excellent. The crust was good, too. The pepperoni, sausage especially the bacon toppings were fantastic. I will absolutely come back! read more

After my pizza tour of NYC a week prior, the last thing I wanted was more pizza--NY style pizza at that. But, as a former movie theater employee, I have taken a vow to starve to death before I pay $8 for popcorn. Right before the previews started, my stomach questioned the rationality of that vow, and I made a mad dash out of the theater next door and down to this place. I bought one slice to hold me over. It took about two minutes for them to heat it up and hand it to me. I was surprised at how large of a slice it was...truly NY style. Good cheese, crisp crust and a mild sauce. The wannabe Brooklynite in me was pleased, and ate it folded in half as all imposters should. A free cup of water later, El Cheapo was back in the theater just in time for the opening credits to Fast and Furious 27. read more

Best NY style pizza in this area. The ingredients they use in the pizza are far superior than other places. Customer service is also above average and the prices are very reasonable. We tried the fries also after reading about them here on Yelp and they were also very good. Definitely planning on returning when I am in this part of town. read more

The perfect slice! Giuseppi's was my go-to lunch joint when I worked for the District Court. I wish I could tell you about all of the wonderful types of food they serve, but I only have experience with the slice with mushrooms and green peppers. I would walk in every day and *try* to make my mouth say something else, but it was no use! You know what they say. If it ain't broke...The lunch special is just such an incredible deal! The crust is perfect, the sauce is great, and the veggies are FRESH. What more could you ask for? Even during the lunch hour rush, customers are turned out pretty quickly. And hey, if you've got to wait an extra five minutes, it's totally worth it. What's your big rush, anyway? The staff is always cheery and the kitchen area is wide open and clean. If you're looking for pizza, look no further than Giuseppi's! read more

I ordinarily wouldn't give something that is just ok one star but this pizza sucked. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and the crust was raw. Yes, I said raw. The bottom was cooked to a crisp, the top was nicely browned but the top layer of crust right under the cheese was raw. How the hell does that happen?? It turned into a floury, globby mess in our mouths and we both couldn't finish it. The sauce has zero taste. None. And enough with the NYC comparisons people. Just because it's thin crust and you can "fold it" to eat it, doesn't make it NY pizza. I'm not sure how or why this place has such great reviews but I suspect it's because people like the owners, which have been mentioned in quite a few reviews. Yuck. read more

"Giuseppi's New York Pizza" is disqualified from being a "New York" pizza joint for two reasons: 1. There's Steelers memorabilia on the walls 2. The pizza isn't good. Still, I'm generously bumping them up to 3 stars because the lunch deal - 5 dollars for two slices and a soda - is really good, the whole menu is cheap, and the service is friendly and fast. I got two slices with mushroom and onions (just .30 to add a topping). I wouldn't have if I realized they were just going to sprinkle onion bits on after...that wasn't the best. The pizza has no structural integrity (I shouldn't need to eat half with a fork and knife), wasnt cheesy, the sauce was sweet, and the crust was bad, doughy and bland. Edible, since it's pizza...but really not good. My friend got a chicken cheesesteak that looked good, and he liked it. Come for a cheap lunch (if you REALLY are craving pizza), but explore the rest of the menu. Pizza snobs, probably avoid. read more

Still come here every chance I get! Still the best cheese slices in the tri-state area! Giuseppe's still does the mozzarella/provolone mix in their pizza that makes it taste like creamy butter. Fantastic! read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Pure cheesy bliss! - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I came by to grab a chicken Philly cheesesteak and a calzone.. I started to dig into the sandwich and bit into this unknown object. I have no idea what this is but it also left a horrible taste in my mouth. I called and asked to be refunded for the whole order and the manger, Esvin?, said he can only refund me for the sandwich and goes "it happens"? What exactly happens? Random stuff getting tossed into people's food? I'll pass. He also said he wouldn't refund me for the calzone because it had not been eaten yet. Why on earth would we continue to eat food from your establishment when you just said "it happens" and I'm still disgusted by that first incident? No thank you. read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

There exists a principle in the universe known as the "Pizza Cognition Theory." Developed by the New York Times' Sam Sifton, it boils down to something like this: "The first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." I came across this idea a few years ago, and realized that it's completely true: being the go-to pizza place in Rockville throughout my youth, even way back when it was next to the old Magruder's, Giuseppi's is the standard to which I hold all other pizza. Maybe it's because I've gone and done something stupid like move to the veritable pizza desert that is Boston, but every time I open up a box anywhere else, I feel a pang of sadness at the knowledge that it just won't be as good as Giuseppi's: I mean, who can top that crust, with its perfect balance between slightly charred air bubbles and a nicely chewy interior crumb? What could be better than that amount of cheese, a beautiful, melty mess that still somehow holds to the slice after cutting? And what about those tiny pepperoni lurking UNDERNEATH THE CHEESE? Whoever thought of that should be given a meat medal. So, long story short, this pizza haunts my dreams. If you currently live in Rockville and would ever consider going anywhere else for a pie, I hate your guts. read more

If you're ever stuck waiting for a movie at the Regal in downtown Rockville, there's no better way to kill time than by chowing down on a few slices here. In fact, head here first and get their movie special, which basically means you can order anything off of the menu and your movie ticket becomes $6. The only weird thing about this place is that it seems to be full of cops every time I go. Probably has something to do with the Justice Center being on the same block. Not a big deal, unless you are smuggling something on your person or are prone to picking fights with authority figures. You want pizza. So go grab a slice. read more

Blegh... I am not that picky when it comes to pizza. It takes a lot to stop me from enjoying a hot slice. This was awful. The crust was bland (a water cracker has more flavor than this stuff) the cheese was beyond rubbery. Sauce was pretty simple, usually you can make up for bad crust with good sauce but this stuff had no zest... We ordered a large pepperoni & pinapple. Peperoni tasted like the cheap stuff you get at the grocery store. It wasn't spicy at all and was kind of weird in texture..... Almost chewy. They used crushed pineapple which I'd never seen done before, but thought it would be good..... it was near flavorless. There were clumps all over and it tasted as though it had been drained of all the juice and left out. I've never had such a boring & bland pizza in my life. I was actually really surprised because it looked great when we opened the box. But as I sit here looking at 3/4 of the pizza remaining I feel under whelmed thinking of leftover (which I usually am so thrilled to enjoy cold pizza from the fridge..) I'm considering finding a homeless person and giving it to them, but then I'd feel guilty for getting there hopes up with a pizza that looks so good but tastes so blah. We paid 20 bucks for the pizza and one drink and I feel almost taken advantage of. Domino's is better. Little Ceasar's is better. Hell, Chuck-E-Cheese is better. -_- I don't know what else to say. It wasn't unedible, it just so wasn't worth the calories or the cost. Like Papa John's motto says Better Ingredients, Better Pizza - they need to learn a lesson from them and get some higher quality ingredients. Blegh! read more

I have been to this family owned jewel on a number of occasions and I always leave with a smile on my face and a full stomach. The two top things to order here are the Philly Cheesesteak's (cheese whiz is an option) and New York style pizza that is can be bought by the slice. And YES these two items taste authentic and better than those imposters in downtown DC!!! read more

Giuseppi’s Pizza Plus - Philly stuffed with meat and cheese. The lettuce is covering goodness below - Pizza Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Is the cleanliness of this place questionable? Yes. Are the people rude. Most definitely. The man who was cleaning got angry because I walked behind him. Ummm sorry? So here is the deal. I went in there tonight and the floor was so filthy I was walking on tip toes. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I had paid for my pizza and picked it up from the counter. It had looked like someone spilled soda and people tracked it around all over the dining area. There was also food all over the floor. I was shocked that people were dining in like they didn't even notice. Maybe it is a fluke because I've been here several times before and have never witnessed this. It also seems as though the pizza is going downhill. It doesn't have much flavor but 5.25 for two slices of pizza and a drink, can't beat that. This will probably be my last time coming here because if they are bold enough to leave the dining area that dirty, I can't imagine how the kitchen is or isn't cleaned. read more

Excellent calzones and the pizza special is always there to fall back on. Highly recommended!!! read more

I didn't have standards for pizza until i ate here... and i enjoy microwave pizza. That being said, many of my friends LOVE their pizza... people either love or hate Giuseppi's... unfortunately, chalk one up for the "hate" category for me. read more

A PIZZA must if you are in the area. The pizza is good with a delicious crispy and (usually) non-dense crust, savory red sauce and a nice blend of Cheeses that works well with the pizza crust flavor. When reheated and crisped in a toaster oven it gets better. Giuseppi's has become a regular stop, and that says a lot since I love to try different places with family and friends. In addition, Giuseppi's is a bit of a trek from my home. As for the service, on one occasion I made the trip to Giuseppi's and forgot my wallet. Since it is a drive, and it was rush hour, I gave it shot and asked if they would assist. They were so ingratiating, with slight hesitation, the manager indicated no problem, give us a call when you get home with your pizza and pay by phone with credit card. They didn't even ask for contact information, but naturally I gave my phone number and confirmed that I was a regular. Yes, I did call and pay for the pizza. Good service, kind staff, good Pizza (still not Jersey). All this and heaven too. Thank you Giuseppi's. *Nota Bene: Last Pizza I had was good, but seems like they were having a problem with dough, slightly raw in the middle and bit dense--not the norm. I hope it was a fluke and not new staff, method of cooking or recipe. read more

Football fans be warned there is Steelers memorabilia here. Luckily Giuseppi set up shop in the DC area and not Ravens country. The shop serves pizza, subs, and fries. What more does a guy really need? So let's get into the food. Let me tell you something about pizza. It's cheap. Take it from a guy that made the stuff at the Bethesda Ledo in a former life. It's dough, tomato sauce, and cheese. Nothing pricey there. Prices at other pizza joints are at times ridiculous. Not Guiseppi's. Guiseppi's has a very reasonable "everyday" combo of 2 substantial slices of pizza and a soda for $4.50. While not something to get too excited over, it's one of the better deals I've seen. The pizza is crunchy at the bottom - which I like. Service was ok and food came out relatively quickly. I hope to go back here and try the subs. They looked like they had some potential from what I saw. The sign said $1.95 to add fries and drink to a sub. Not bad. Not bad at all. read more

Best New York style pizza in the area. Made with a tangy, not sweet sauce. Plenty of oregano and garlic amd a crispy, airy crust.
