CS New York Pizza

Came back from visiting NYC and craved that classic NYC style pizza. CS New York pizza did not disappoint. I ordered an 18” pizza, which had enormous slices :)! I was in love with the flavor and texture. Staff were friendly and quick to make my order. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I’m craving the NYC style pizza. Highly recommend to those looking for that authentic flavor.

We order from CSNY and they're usually good - but today 12/23/2025, an Uber Eats delivery arrived with the pizza pretty much upside down (see pics - one pic shows two slices melted on top of each other?). I called CSNY and asked the individual for an email address so they could at least *see* how it arrived. The person who picked up actually had to consult with the manager, and returned to me saying the email is on the website. It's not. When I asked for an email again, they flat out refused and said take it up with Uber Eats... AND then if we get nowhere with them, to call CSNY back. This situation taught me they just don't care that you enjoy the pizza, but only that they got your money. I mentioned nothing about wanting a refund or any other type of make good - I just wanted to show them that Uber Eats might be a weak link in their success. But as it turns out, the weak link is CSNY management. There are plenty of really good pizza places in MoCo, and I actually used to defend CSNY in pizza arguments, but this situation has left a bad taste in my mouth. You've been warned.

I'm from New York and finding good pizza in the dmv is always a struggle. The pizza was great! perfectly crispy crust, and so much flavor in sauce. You can really tell they care about quality. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. The place was clean, and had good energy . Definitely one of my new favorite pizza spots in Rockville. Glad we stopped in I’ll 100% be coming back!

Great food, great price, fast service. Owner was a pleasure to speak to. And all on an extremely busy Superbowl Sunday. Had the cheese steak with Wiz. Perfect proportion of meat cheese and bread. I am extremely impressed by the high quality food, on one of the busiest days of the year, for pizza shops.

We had a very busy Christmas Eve and ran out of time to make dinner. We called around for an open pizza place that had gluten-free crust - and CS New York pizza had it. They made us four tremendous pies in less than 25 minutes. Hot, tasty, and absolutely authentic NYC pizza! And the guys there were friendly and professional. Very highly recommended. From now on, we are getting our pizza from CS New York in Rockville MD. Thanks very much!

CS NY Pizza lives up to its name, its the best NY style pizza I've had in Maryland. I had the 18inch NY style pizza with pepperoni, and the traditional wings with buffalo sauce. The pizza dough was perfect, just the right texture, and the sauce was flavorful. The wings are also phenomenal, perfectly breaded and the sauce tasted homemade. Unfortunately they did not have the Sicilian pizza available when I came, and the price of the pizza is not exactly cheap - came to ~$22. I would give this a 4.5 star if possible, but leaned towards the 5 stars because the NY style pizza and wings really delivered. The shop is a very small, with only a small table for 2 and bar seating for 4. Recommend carrying out.

Visited this pizza place for lunch takeout last Sunday around noon. Since the reviews are mostly positive, I decided to give it a try. The beef sub is not the worst I have had so far but is close. The taste is bland. The staff wrapped it so tight, the sauce was not in the sub when I opened it (see pic). The New York style cheese pizza is ok and simply too salty, 3 different teens gave the same comment. I tasted one slice and had no intention to eat another slice. Worrying about it might pump up my blood pressure. Over 40 minutes wait from order to pick up. Is it a bit too long for ordering one pizza, one sub, and one salad? I'll let you be the judge.

This is a review of food delivery not CS. CS pizza is outstanding. D@@rdash on the other hand is terrible. Paying $40 for a stone cold pizza is far from what I'd want as a business owner, it reflects badly. We treat ourselves to pizza for football night so the squeeze is worth the juice except when the experience is ruined by D@@rdash. I'm not done yet!!! D@@dash will not resolve this with a refund other than offering you a few dollars CREDIT!!! Nope. Thanks CS you make great pies, I'll have to drive for my pies going forward. Let this be a fair minded warning to others. You want a fresh hot pie from CS??? Pick it up or eat in.

I love CSNY Pizza! I always order online. The online system is super easy to use. I have ordered from here many times. I love that my pizza is still hot when I arrive. This my first time to order the Sicilian version which is the square or rectangular one. The slices are long not cut up into mini squares or large squares. You can ask for how you it want it cooked. You can customize your pizza by putting a topping on one side if you like. I always say well done for a crispy bottom. As Football season approaches, I'm looking forward to ordering carryout from here more often!

Great NY pizza, we live pretty far currently so hadn't made it over before since it is primarily takeout but we might be moving a bit closer soon (yay)! Good robust sauce, light and non-doughy crust, my only quibble is that I only like black olives and they gave me kalamata. I wish staff were trained on the difference so if someone requests black olives they can specify they don't have those. I had same issue at &pizza. So when I return I need to remember to not order olives. We ate the first slice onsite so we could fairly judge it hot, then drove home (currently over 30 minutes).

Best pizza you can get in moco. Super glad we got a solid pizza spot in this area. They have Sicilian style pizza too which is dope.

Sicilian pizza is in my blood, along with a lot of cholesterol. It's a weird niche pizza style that you just don't find much. It's kind of a precursor to Chicago style pizza, but with a dough that's a bit more like French bread. It's kind of like those lazy pizzas you made with a frozen baguette, some sauce, and toppings after school when you were 14, and jeebus, I'm showing off my 1980s Latchkey Kid status. CSNY specializes in Sicilian, and it has been on my "Try This" list since finding out about them. Their location is a little hard to spot, on the busy Pike, and tucked around a lot of other styles of restaurants. I mean, I knew where they were and drove by them, but made a quick U turn and got in there. They've got regular pizza on the menu, and I'm not entirely sure if that's what most people are ordering and reviewing, but I got the Sicilian regular and pepperoni (which is a party foul for authenticity, but also, it's pepperoni). The slices took a few minutes, and I also ordered a coke. They're cans, and like most places, they're expensive cans, but oh well. The two slices came out, and I realised I'd made a mistake. They're massive. They're the size they're supposed to be, big, thick, and bready below. Piping hot, I added a bit of red pepper flake and dug in. Just throwing it out there: CSNY is not a place to eat lunch. They've got a narrow ledge, and uncomfortable stools for waiting for your food. You *can* eat there, and I did, but I wouldn't recommend it. I ate most of one slice and left, partially spurred on by a woman who came in, ordered, and then began having a loud, animated conversation into her bluetooth... after a minute or so, I realised she didn't have a bluetooth and noped out. The pizza was deliciously greasy, especially the pepperoni. One of the weird things about Sicilian pizza, and that works with CSNY pizza (as well as their lack of eating room) -- I think it's actually better just a little bit cool. I finished the second slice after I got to my destination (in Germantown) and it went from a "this is not bad" to "YUM." I don't know why, but it's true for all Sicilian pizza: don't eat it COLD, but it's better if you let it cool a bit.

I love living in DC but there is definitely a lack of good pizza places here. I took a chance and ordered from CS on DoorDash and was pleasantly surprised! It was cooked perfectly. The crust wasn't tough or anything. It definitely reminded me of pizza I get from back home. The sauce had a pretty good flavor as well and slices were a good size. I will definitely order again!

I can't believe it took me this long to find New York style pizza! Ordering online was super easy, the only confusing part was on the slice only options. I did speak to someone in person when picking up my pizza and they clarified that they do offer slice only options contrary to what the website says so I'm glad I asked! Love the pepperoni cups and added on sausage as an extra treat. This is definitely my go to pizza Spot!

Stopped in a for a quick bite. Ordered two slices and had to wait for a fresh pie (about 8-10 mins). The pizza is amazing and has a great crust a crispy undercarriage. The cheese is perfect and the sauce has the right amount of tang, it isn't a sweet sauce. I'll definitely be back to order a whole pie. Customer service was great and you can tell from the pics that the vibes are great, too.

You know what you can't do when you close at 9? Compete with big chains. This is every great pizza place in Montgomery county. This is why someone's options after 9pm are big chain borderline plastic or some place making a pizza from a Sysco truck delivery. This place makes an amazing Sicilian. But I'll never get to order it. I know it takes time to make and I won't keep your staff working late. "Well just order earlier." Some of us don't live the cushy white middle class put-the-kids-to-bed-have-a-glass-of-red-with-the-wife-in-front-of-the-TV-before-checking-our-work-texts-color-by-numbers life. Places like this and Ledo's should actually TRY and they would dominate.

Good pizza their XL is huge NYish style pizza solid for the area I would suggest this to friends and family (the ones I like) lol

As always still my favorite pizza in the DMV. Pomodoro in Sterling gives them a run for their money, but completely different location--so it's not like it's competition. First time ordering in person rather than online since the beginning of the pandemic, was nice to be able to sit down and wait and smell the pizza. Looks like they are still doing a goodly business and fingers crossed that continues. Staff appeared to have a very good system down. Can't wait to visit again, this whole only once a year thing needs to stop :)

I'm updating my review after trying their standard pizza, which was fine- I'd give it 3 stars, which averages to 2 stars given that the Sicilian was the worst and saltiest pizza I've had.

If you want NY style pizza, this is the place to get it in Rockville. Wide variety of toppings. Meatball topping is recommended (by me) as is the amazing Caesar Salad--- seriously get the salad with extra dressing. Not many places to sit and eat, so if you have a crowd you might want to get your order to go. There is high stool seating at a wall bar- could fit you and maybe 2-3 friends. Yum!

My favorite pizza in the DMV. Hard to find good NY style here! I'm a frequent flyer here.

I was so excited to try this place. The pictures of the sicilian looked so good. When I opened the box, the crust was bigger than the pizza and it was burnt. I couldn't even eat the big pieces of crust because of how hard it was. The tomato sauce and cheese looked like it was placed on already cooked bread and then re cooked again. If you look at the picture I posted, you can even see it is brown underneath the cheese. Never have seen that before. It was quite honestly wack. The buffalo wings were good though but this is a pizza place... For $25, the pizza was not worth it. Would not recommend. I'll stick to visiting new york and getting prince street pizza

I am a bit disappointed. We ordered delivery. After waiting almost an hour, our order was just cancelled. Our poor Uber Eats driver was sitting waiting 30 min for the order to be cancelled. They should have communicated better.

I ordered a regular 14" pizza with chicken for 18.22$. The pizza was average and wasn't good. The chicken topping amount on the pizza was laughably bad, barely any chicken was on the pizza. The pizza was also insanely overpriced, you can go to different spot and get better tasting pizza for nearly half the price (like paisanos for example). I definitely wouldn't come back or recommend.

No complaints. 3.5 Would I recommend? Maybe. Why? Overall I felt everything was pretty standard. Standard service and pizza was good. I ordered ahead so I did not get the usual "full experience" of ordering in person etc. The building itself is well kept and had good lighting, felt like somewhere I wanted to be. A bigger factor playing a part in this review: I do feel for the price of what I ordered it was not up to par. Recognizing there are a lot of factors that come into play with pricing, so I am not complaining. I think IF I am planning to spend what I did I MIGHT go elsewhere. My order: NY style pepperoni, Sicilian cheese NY pep: B- - this was solid Sicilian cheese: B+ - really enjoyed the crust/dough on this Cheers 5824 out

Pizza was ok, there a ton of parking... because of where they sit, when the sun is going down it's extremely bright

The staff is friendly, and the pizzas are delicious. Highly recommended, especially in an area with a lot of pizza offerings.

First time trying this place and I thought it was great! We had a large NY cheese pizza and their cheesesteak which was also really good! As a PA girl that loves her pizza and Philly cheesesteaks, the cheesesteak was as close as I have ever found here in MoCo to the real thing.

Yep! Still love the pizza! They're setup for online/prepaid orders only. No entrance inside. You can order online and when you arrive, they'll bring your pizza out to you.

I am a native NYer and I was skeptical coming to this pizza place. Because it's seen more like a chain hole in the wall... But after eating my first pie there I fully recommend it 8.9 out of 10. This is literally one of two New York style pizza options in the area that are legitimately New York style. The only reason I didn't score it higher is because I would like it a little bit more well done the cross so it's a little bit more crispy and it holds up when you pick it up instead of drooping.

We visited for lunch for the first time today and loved the slices (cheese, pepperoni, and sausage). This is the kind of no-nonsense place with great food that I grew up with in northern NJ. The menu is exactly what you'd expect if you're from there, and the pizza is really legit NY style. Also really looking forward to the cheesesteaks. This is going to be a staple for us, clearly.

This restaurant should be rated a lot higher than it currently is. This is authentic NY pizza which is always amazing. If you're in Rockville, this is the place to eat.

Still the best Got a 18" 1/2 pepperoni and hot peppers & 1/2 cheese With extra sauce and well done. Perfection They are even so nice on the phone I look forward to getting pizza from here whenever we're in Rockville

I grew up in northern NJ, an hour train ride outside of NYC. As a kid, I would stop by one of three pizza shops in town for a slice after school. CS Pizza tastes like the pizza of my childhood. I used to visit their other location with Neapolitan style pizza until it closed to make way for Wegmans. So it took me a while to try CS New York Pizza. If you order over the phone, they save your number and next time you call they'll know your name. I like to order a large had pepperoni had tomato and eat two pieces with my hubby and save the other half for another meal. I think that's probably the best value. They have a few tables outside now, but other than that it's a takeaway situation. I'll say that since I live on the other side of the county, they don't deliver, so when I pick up I usually will find a nearby park to eat in. Love this place and always ready for a NY slice!

As a native New Yorker, this pizza meets my nostalgic needs. I do prefer a bit chewier crust versus the crisp thin, but that's a preference. This pizza is delicious, foldable, and robust!

Great Pizza! I have been searching for two years since moving to the area for good New York style pizza and I finally found it here. The mozzarella sticks are decent, I just wish the sauce that came with it was served hot.

ordered a 18' classic new york style pizza with pepperoni! it was amazing! thin crust with a good cheese pull is all i need. very friendly staff as well

I would say the pizza is about 2.5. It had good flavor, but the ingredients are so light/little the pizza tasted bland. We had a 14" pie with half sausage. The pizza is thin but not crispy. Just thin so once it's cold and reheated, it's almost like cardboard. I will say the quality changed because I had this pizza a couple of years ago and it was pretty good. In any case this time, on Friday night for takeout, the service was quick and the person at the register was courteous. They gave a paper plates and paper towels along with condiments: grated cheese, red pepper, and oregano. There was also another person there cleaning down the tables. We left a tip.

Should be against the law to say NY pizza and not sell individual slices. The entire point is to be able to get enough for one meal for one person quickly.

This was a good choice for pizza! I decided I needed pizza and was going to be in Rockville, so Yelpers led to me to CSNY. The guy who took my order was friendly and helpful, and guy who handed it to me was very nice. Right now, they are still doing contactless pickup outside. Loved the ginormous slices, the bendy, foldy crust, and the tasty pepperoni. I felt it needed a little more zing, so added some Penzey's frozen pizza seasoning (they are like 5 doors down from CSNY, and it happened to be on sale today!) Honestly, it felt like a NY slice. Also, I felt the price for a giant pizza was really reasonable. I'm coming back!

Ordered online. Was ready on time. Pizza was hot out of the oven. Well cooked with mushrooms and onions. The Caesar salad was huge, enough for three large servings. Had not been here in a while, will definitely return.

Nice bunch of people making great big yummy pies! I order a large and it is good for 3 days!

Got two slices of sausage pizza. Pizza was very good, sauce may have had a bit of spice in It which I liked. Sausage was NOT the crumble garbage. Service was friendly and quick. Place is kind of small and more geared to take out which is fine. Would return.

Definitely gonna be my go to place for pizza in the local area. It comes extremely close to a NY style pizza. Perfect thin crust, good sauce and quality cheese. I got my order through Uber eats so I'm not sure if it's typical but the pizza came cold. I had to reheat in my air fryer. I wouldn't hold it against them though because they don't have the proper transportation container for keeping food hot in Uber eats probably. I did however ask for utensils which were never delivered per the Uber app. As far as cost, it's pretty costly for pizza but you get what you pay for and that's a quality pizza. Besides, it's still cheaper than going out to eat at any restaurant if you don't buy pizza.

spent $60 on 2 large pizza and an order of mozzarella sticks... my kids do love pizza but they stopped eating it and said wasn't very good. It is overpriced pizza for sure. I ordered one large pizza and one pizza with mushroom and peppers - $3 per topping?! Bottom of the pizza tasted burnt and it was black from the charcoal...maybe expected but too much black. now we know, unfortunately...

the food was amazing and I really like the atmosphere of the place. it's really hard to find good pizza in maryland and J can confidently say I have when I came here.

This pizza is true to its name, great New York pizza. Good ratio of cheese to sauce to dough. Thin enough with good chew but not so much that my jaw hurts after. Very impressed!

I have never encountered such horrific customer service. The worst customer service ever. There are not a single word in the dictionary that can describe the customer service. I ordered a pepperoni I pizza for my children and came to pick the pizza up. Upon my arrival, the cashier said you owe me money. My initial thought was that the cashier has never had proper training on customer service. But I got to thinking, if the business really cared about their customers, wouldn't they hire someone that treats their customers with respect. Also, the pizza was very bland, it doesn't deserve the title of NY Pizza and it was drenched in oil, a ridiculous amount. One slice and you would have thought it was your final breathe here on earth. Sorry to say, I have no photos because it's very rare I write a review. If it's a great place, I like to take the time to show then how much I appreciate them. In this case, it is the complete opposite.

I'm updating this review from one to three stars. After my initial review the owner reached out to me to discuss my experience, and the changes that they are making to their online ordering and delivery process. Additionally, he offered a a decent discount on my next order. If you've read my other reviews, you know how important customer service is to me, it is more than half the battle. For those reasons, I updated this from a one to three star.

It feels like Pizza CSNY came about because the (sadly no longer) Pizza CS was so good at making Neapolitan pizza that they needed a new challenge. I'm a sucker for Neapolitan pies, so I visited this New York style spot less often, but I've always had great slices here over the years. Today, I got a full cheese pie (the true test for any pizzeria, just like a Margherita at a Neapolitan place) and some mozzarella sticks and was very impressed. The mozzarella sticks were very well-breaded and fresh, with a nice gooey pull from the cheese inside. The pie was cooked expertly, great color on the cheese and beautiful light char on the chewable, thin but pliable crust (forgive the bad crust picture, but it was gorgeous enough that I turned a slice upside down to try to capture it, which is a ludicrous thing to do with pizza). The cheese was very good, the sauce a little sweet (as NY pizza tends to be) but solid, but the real star is that crust! Great consistency, chew, cook, and flavor. I still miss Pizza CS, but this place carries on that grand tradition well.

When to Rockville for a Pho75 jaunt (btw, they are better than LY) & thought CS wasn't far. It's been a while... Ordered online in the parking lot. Was ready in 15 min. Thin NY pizza so just added green peppers. Asked for well done. #noflop Pizza looked great! We all #knowtherules Got it home & it tasted great... Total was under $25. It's a FULL 18" pie #funsize If you feel like a solid NY slice, grab a pie from here- have a slice in the car, have another at home then graze on it until it's gone. If I could I'd go there weekly as a go to- Pizza Tuesday type, etc...

Loved it! They have the best NY style pizza in the area! Great crust, sauce and cheese. Next time I'd like to try some of there other dishes.

As a NY native I've been looking for authentic pizza in the surrounding area. I opted to dine in and both slices were reasonable priced. the pepperoni were a little different but still good nonetheless. I recommend everyone to try CS New York pizza.

I'm in between 4.5 and 5 stars on this one. Hey! It's very important to mention. My experience wasn't completely flawless... but it was near that. Customer service was excellent, and my order was ready quickly. I've had CSNY pizza a couple of times now, and I can agree with nearly all the previous reviewers in saying that it's a delicious, legit, tasty, well made pizza. Done by the people behind CS pizza down the pike (where we all think the new Wegmans is gonna go). Their version of New York Style pizza is... I think... better than their version of Neopolitano. Though... tbh, I'm not really sure I like Neapolitano pizza. Oh G-d... I can feel a rant coming. This is a rant that's been long coming. I'm sorry... you're gonna have to be subject to it now. My sincerest apologies. What is Neapolitano pizza suppose to be like? Most times I've had what people call Neapolitano pizza, it's a soggy inner crust and a charred outside crust. I know... from my general knowledge about food that there isn't really a sauce on Neapolitano pizza. It's crushed San Marzano tomatoes. Ok... And the flour has to be special 00 flour. And the temperature of the oven has to be this. The temperature of the water in the crust has to be this. And it has to receive the special seal of approval from the Neapolitano pizza council of elders. I get it... it's special... but is it good? I've had Neapolitano pizza a few times in my life. And they're at places that are fairly highly rated... and most every time the pizza disappoints me. I just don't get it. Is Neapolitano pizza suppose to be knife and fork pizza? Is it suppose to be somewhat bland? I still have yet to try 2 Amys. That's the one that everyone dies over. I'll get there eventually. I'm tellin' you, I'm just not sure. I think I need to go to Italy and taste some real legit Napoli pizza. In the episode of Chef's Table where it follows Nancy Silverton to Italy and she eats this super thin pizza with just crushed tomatoes and cheese on it. That LOOKS amazing... but I'm fairly sure that isn't Neapolitano pizza... Ok rant over. Pizza CS NY: Back to your regularly scheduled program. Delicious pizza. They have Sicilian pizza. It's like a deep dish square pizza. It's delicious. I like the miniature pepperoni they use. The one thing I wasn't a fan of was that I ordered an Eggplant Parm sub...and it came with green peppers and black olives on it. I would think... that if you were deviating from a classic Eggplant Parm sub... that you would warn me about green peppers and olives. I was just not a fan. You don't want to hear my rant about black olives. They shouldn't exist in my opinion hahahahahah. Much like water chestnuts. But we're getting off topic again. CS NY pizza. DELICIOUS pizza. No qualms there. Also got to taste their jalapeno poppers. They're made with an orange cheese in the middle. Definitely not cream cheese. They were solid. Won't hesitate to go back. I think this review has been fueled by hanger. I'm gonna go eat something.

CS New York is our #1 choice of pizza. The name is not just a moniker: this is genuine New York style here in Rockville, MD. The ends of the crust has that "snap" when you fold it while the crust in the middle of the pizza has a nice chewiness. Not thick but not thin like a cracker. The sauce has a great taste and a thin texture (no tomato chunks). Great cheese and toppings finish it off how you like it. Note that I'm writing this review during the COVID-19 crisis. While the grocery stores can't keep simple daily goods on the shelf, we were delighted when our pizza came with complementary TP. Imagine that! Such a small gesture that goes a long way during tough times. If you're reading this during this crisis, please consider ordering from this local establishment. Great pizza by great people.

One of the best pizza places in Rockville... I like their pizza and steak fries. Great place for a pizza. The staff is always nice and the owner is a great guy.

It's amazing all-around. The crust especially, but the sauce - cheese ratio is excellent and the sauce is very tasty. I'll stop in there more.
