Cosmos Pizzeria

Best pizza that gets the crust right. Ideally located right across the bridge. We call in our order when we hit Jarvisburg and pick it up on our first night in.

Best pizza we’ve had in a long time. Totally worth the stop! It was also a welcome break on the pocket book after a week of eating out OBX (read: overpriced!) style.

Very small place tugged away in a shopping center! But do not underestimate, the Pizza is some of the best Pizza I’ve had! The Margherita tasted so fresh and made great leftovers.

down in duck for a getaway from Virginia Beach! we wanted pizza for lunch and the people at the front desk at the sanderling suggested cosmos! It was by far the best pizza we have had in a long time! the salads were pretty good also! our waitress was super nice. she was working by herself with a restaurant that was pretty full and never once did we feel neglected! can’t wait to come back next time we are down here!

We are spending our last week in Duck and are finding the restaurant offerings meager. They are either $$$/​$$$$ or poorly rated or both. It is a strange community. We have five more days to try a few places, but I can see us driving back south or potentially trying Corolla.
For our first night we drove the short but extremely slow distance back to Southern Shores simply because Cosmo’s is much better rated than Waves or Pizzazz or any other pizza place close by. Cosmo’s made us a pretty good pizza. We ordered our usual, sausage, olive (black since no green olives or Kalamatas were offered) and this time we added extra cheese. This was much better quality cheese than we had at Slice. The sausage is sliced links as it has been at Café Franco and Slice. It was not extremely well flavored, but OK. The sauce was very good, it was not over-​applied, not sweet, not heavy or pasty and not over loaded with garlic. We liked this pizza with a few reservations.
I rated this one a solid three stars. To add stars they need better flavored bulk style sausage (more fennel) and briny olives, either green or Kalamata. Also needed is a crisper crust, but I am not sure about that yet. Since we carried-​out, we may have been responsible for the soggy crust, however, this pizza was made so fast for us that we wondered about it being pre-​made or half baked ahead of time. We need to dine in to see.

Good pizza. The day we came in we wanted to just pick food up to take back to the house and this was a good choice. The crust was a little chewy for my liking but my husband enjoyed the pizza a lot.

Went back again tonight and had another memorable pizza experience! Great food and wonderful service! Will definitely go back next time when I am in town!

Such good pizza! We were totally wowed. The restaurant itself is nothing special inside but the pizza was so good. We’ll def be back next time we’re in OBX!

Mmm.
It was a busy night. A long wait for both service and for food. We were so hungry that we almost left. And then…
Mmm. It was so yummy that I don’t care that I waited at all. A fast place won’t serve you as epic a pizza as this one was. We will definitely be returning.

I will write good and bad reviews. This is really really really good pizza. Friendly fast and courteous too. At least on a Tuesday at 1:00ish. Beer selection is eh… ya know how if you get too many toppings the middle of the pizza can get soggy? They do not have a problem with that here… mmmmmmim gunna eat the left over slice for breakfast. Ill probably dream about it tonight. …good thing they can’t make pizza like this in my home town. …id be one broke unhealthy dude

Just there today for the first time. Easy parking. It was just after they opened. Sat ourselves as directed on billboard. Waitress was nice and took our orders immediately. Tea was great. Pizza was great! Prices are reasonable. Checkout was easy. Our only complaint would be the tables and booths were not as clean as we’d like. Moved once but next was no better. All in all a good experience and we will go back again.

Awesome pizza! Fast service and a nice atmosphere. Tables aren’t crammed next to each other so you have enough space to talk without hearing your neighbor.

awesome gigantic salad! mine’s got some salami, ham, the works! i thought it even got roasted red pepper in it and lots of cheese!!!
pizza was good and it makes me wonder if they make their own cheese.

Great food! Spicy BBQ Wings and Corolla classic pizza were amazing! Only gave it four because cocktail special was a bit pricey and ‘meh’ and also because server brought appetizers out right before entrees. Also failed to leave mushrooms off the pizza as we requested. Still… it was great food. Will definitely come back!

After a 12 hour drive which should have been 6… their supreme pizza hit the spot with my family. A little expensive but that late at night I can’t complain.

My fellow Unilocalers are right, this place is the bomb! My family and I ate here THREE times this week (yep, you read that right…3). Best pizza I’ve had in ages! Because we are cave people & stick to what works we got the supreme all three times! Mmmmm!

It isn’t a beach trip without Cosmos!
I definitely consider this to be a hidden gem down at the OBX. If you’re a true fan of New York style, this is the best you’re going to get at the beach– great flavor and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. I’ve never had any complaints.
The dining room isn’t very large, but I’ve never seen the place too crowded. The other location in Corolla is actually smaller, so I definitely recommend the Kitty Hawk location if you want to dine in.
I highly recommend this place if you’re going to do a pizza night on your vacation!

I had heard a lot of great things about Cosmos, and I am glad to say that it lives up to its hype. Great tasting pizza from the crust to toppings.
I will be going back before I leave the OBX.

Excellent NY/​NJ style taste which is an extremely rare find in the OBX!
Sauce, cheese and dough all taste just right. They sell SLICES which is a true sign of a pizza parlor along with a simple menu (pizza, subs, pasta) and booth seating. Loved it.
I have two minor complaints… why not trust the customers with a true large pie? (The size that they use for slices.) If they don’t have big enough boxes for some reason, make it an eat-​in special only. They’ve come so far to be a true Jersey style place… serve a Jersey size pie!
2^nd, we came at lunch, place was packed, and there was 1 waitress who was a touch rude. If she can’t keep up with tables just let us order at the counter and have a food runner bring it out, or call us up. It wasn’t a big deal, and I can see how people hanging out would like table service for beer.
All in all, I think Corolla Pizza is a bit more of an authentic NY/​NJ style pie in flavor and you’ll walk in to see pizza ovens and a guy tossing dough. Both excellent but Cosmo’s is much closer to everyone.
Happy to have found Cosmo’s. Will make it a regular stop for sure!

Got a pizza to go, very impressed with the easy going nature of the staff. I grew up in the shadow of NYC on Long Island, and good pizza, up to my standards, is hard to find outside of the metro NY area.
This is very close. We went with classic pepperoni, so I have a good basis of comparison.
Outside of NY, and I’ve had lots of pizza in lots of places, this is damn good. Doesn’t drip grease like NYC pizza, but I understand the locals wouldn’t appreciate that.
Highly recommended, and would have given 5 stars if I wasn’t such a pizza snob.
