Happened upon this restaurant by accident last night, and was so glad we did. Excellent food, service, and vibe. The dough and sauce were something special. We have a new go-to pizza place!

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.

Ok takoma. This is the best pizza. Thin crust, wood oven, pure delight. If you haven’t been here, please frequent. From the first bite you can appreciate the dough. We love the nobile white pizza & the tiramisu melts in your mouth. My wish is for a happy hour pizza and beer special !Kid-friendliness: I bring my 2.5 and 7 year old here.

we love this place. the 4 cheese pizza is our favorite! I bring my daughter often. I read a few reviews and that has not been my experience. I also have seen a lot of different nationalities enjoying their food here and everyone seems to enjoy it. try for yourself

What better then roscoes pizza, very beautiful interior with excellent service, person favorite item on the menus is the Tiramisu, which is the best I have ever had, excellent italian food and would highly recommend to anyone as the best place in Takoma park.

At least once a month or more, I get a pizza from Carpe Diem, so I guess I'm a regular. I've tried most of the pizzas. The meat pizzas are spectacular.

WORST PIZZA of my Life. it taste like cardboard. Tried for the first and last time Saturday night. Pizza was tough and had No Flavor. Customer service was also lacking. I went in and being it was time there, I wasn't sure where to go for pick-up order. No one greeted me, 3 associates came by and said nothing; so i walked to the back and asked for pick up order. He asked my name and gave me two boxes of pizzas. Will never come back

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.
Great pizza (5 stars) but please cut it into 8 slices, not quarters. We buy about 1-2 times a month. The pizza is meant to be shared and 8 slices is much easier for it.

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.

Very racist establishment, my close friend experienced horrible customer service at this so called restaurant, he sent me a video of him being treated horribly because of the color of his skin and his appearance and was told to sit outside and wait for his order while all of the other guests who weren't black were sitting inside, the owner was yelling at him, this made me extremely furious, I would not recommend anyone come to the place, they don't deserve to be in business, if people that look like me can't eat there.

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...
