I spent $40.00 on two pizzas and bread sticks to get burnt inedible food. I knew upon looking at the pizza it was overcooked but I tried to be a good sport and taste it. I got a mouth full of burnt crust and toppings. Awful. I have been buying Carpenter's Pizza for 19 years and have never received a pizza of such low quality. Who check's for quality assurance here?...or is that not in place any longer? It's as if they didn't even check the pizza before sending it. Not only did I wait 2.5 + hours for them to make it right but the second batch wasn't that much better. We weren't offered anything for the hassle, refused a refund when we paid with cash and didn't even get a return of the delivery charge or tip when we drove twice half way to meet the driver. I could have gotten pizza three times over in my city for what I lost with Carpenter's in this transaction. I could've had dinner in less than 20 minutes delivered to my doorstep but I opted for my favorite pizza...willing to pay much more, wait much longer, and drive to meet their driver at the end of their delivery limits. It's sad to see a childhood favorite decline so far as this pizzeria. Very disappointed. Will no longer spend...
Read moreDelivery pizza is almost always a quality compromise. It's either uninspiring or cold or both. From large franchises to Mom-amd-Pop businesses...meh! It's an I-don't-feel-like-cooking choice. And the person answering the phone is the one who drew the short straw...and sounds like it.
Carpenter's was none of that. And this is the first time I've ordered from them.
The person who took our order was cheerful, quick, and laughed at my pathetic attempt at humor. Weird, thought I, but any pizza from a village as small and remote and with a logo that looks like a copyright lawsuit waiting to happen can't be that good. Plus, it's in the low 20s tonight, so let's fire up the oven so we can reheat it and we'll see.
Turned out to be the best pizza we've had in the area and better than most we've had out previous homes in CBus & ATL. And still relatively hot.
The toppings were a little sparse (got to say something so I don't sound like the mother of the owner). The sauce was good. The crust was the winner. Perfect.
Keep it up Carpenter's. If you don't deliver to Bethesda we'll have to work out a meeting place in Belmont...
Read moreWe've gone here twice for dinner and have been quite happy with our food both times. Last night was our Anniversary and we really did not feel like going out (super tired and overworked) or cooking. Not only were they very accommodating, but they wrote a sweet message inside our pizza box, wishing us a happy anniversary. It's the little things from fellow community members that does it for me. We just moved here a month ago and absolutely love it. I highly recommend this place for pizza. It's really tasty, made to order, great variety, fresh ingredients, delicious crust and sauces, and they do allow add ons.
The employees are efficient, professional and beyond courteous. I really can't say enough nice...
