Pizza was barely cooked. We had to fire up the oven and put the pie in for 5 minutes to get it edible. And even after that it was pretty mediocre. And $14 for a tiny salad without much more than some greens and walnuts and apple slices!? WAY overpriced for pretty uninteresting food. First and last time ordering from this place.

the pizza here is pretty good. been maybe 6 times; will likely go again. the style is hand toss / wood fire. crust above par. a tough greasy, lite sauce, standard cheese, but love in the craft. better assortment of toppings than most. also whole kitchen & bar from adjoined Trattoria available.
look at a lot of these other reviews in context: complaints about 3rd pay delivery being cold, complaints about pandemic rules. that’s 2/3 the negative. liking it or not, that’s fair. service going sideways would be fair. personally i have not had a bad experience. this isn’t a bad pizza joint and the 3.6 rating is ???

Been to Italy around 25 times & this is proper pizza imo. Think the poorer ratings are from people who are used to DiGiorno & Dominoes

Worst pizza ever! First , and last, time eating Carpe Diem pizza. We ordered through Grubhub, with special delivery instructions. The instructions were completely ignored and the pizza was left outside our door. It was stone cold and had seen no type of insulation between the store and our home. After reheating it, we tasted only dough and cheese; no flavor, despite several toppings being added. I held this place to the same standards I hold every pizza joint; they obviously don’t know what standards are.

Absolutely delicious! We had the most wonderful meal of pizza, with a plate of roasted broccoli we absolutely demolished. We chose Carpe Diem because an older review mentioned “too much cheese” on their pizza. As well all know, there is no such thing. We even had a lovely spontaneous chat with the family at the next table over. I am telling all my friends to eat at Carpe Diem. I can’t wait to return. So yummy.

Super disappointing experience. 11″ pizzas were $15 each with barely any toppings. Pizza was not hot, dough was tough. I’ve had better frozen pizzas. As the others have said, Roscoe’s was way better. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. This pizza shop shares a space/kitchen with an Italian joint next door. Kids tried the calamari appetizer from there. They said it had no taste, looked like onion rings without an onion and the dipping sauce was just pizza sauce.

I should have listened to a former Carpe Diem customer who recommended Roscoe’s as I entered Carpe Diem, only four customers were seated during prime time on Saturday night and a handful of carryout orders were waiting on the counter.
As my pizza was being prepared I twice asked for the sauce to be reduced and the pizza maker refused. I decided to try it his way…
Too much sauce, too much cheese and the dough tasted like it’s made from a low quality domestic flour. The pizza was not Neopolitan style but an American interpretation of pizza.
After one bite I attempted to return the pizza, the surly staff refused to give a refund because I had taken a bite of the pizza. I left the pizza with the staff and exited the place.
Save your time go to Timber Pizza Co. on Upshur Street, nice folks, great pizza wonderful service. I haven’t been to Roscoe’s…

I love Carpe Diem pizza. In my opinion it is the best pizza in the Takoma area. I always go for the Ham and fungi pizza and it never disappoints.

2nd time trying and it was excellent both times. I was trying to square the quality of the pizza with the reviews, and then I thought there may be many Roscoe fans who weren’t happy about the competition. After reading several of the one stars, I now believe this to be true. And also, who has ever complained about too much cheese on pizza?? After eating 3/4 of a pie, I am going to take a nap!

This pizza is ok. I wouldn’t rush to get it again though. There wasn’t a lot of taste to either the dough or the sauce. The cheese tasted like it was pretty low quality. It’s fine if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for some neapolitan pizza, but there are much better options in the region as a whole.
