Cosmic Pizza

Walked in and the server handed us menus and said to sit where ever we would like. We sat on the patio as there appeared to be no air conditioning. A table of two and a table of six came in after us and sat on the patio also. Both received service. The server never even acknowledged us. We left after 15 min when the server had brought both of the other tables their drinks and took their orders and still never acknowledged us. Worst service I have ever received. (None)

This is a fine neighborhood tavern. It’s a pretty shitty family eating experience. If I were looking for a place to throw back pitchers, this would be a fine choice. The pizza is fine, but a bit over priced. The whole menus was over priced. I paid what I would pay to take my family to red robin and I got food, service, and atmosphere that don’t compare. The space theme is poorly done. The theme is more garage sale than cosmic. Their tap selection was pretty strong though, and the ping pong table was nice.
Pros: location is nice. Would work as a watering hole. Food was ok. I would need to be drunk to like this place.
Cons: dirty, over priced, service is too laid back for family dining… Spot on for a tavern. There were odd gentlemen who had kitchen access, but were hanging out to eat. No idea what that was about, but it didn’t make me want to come back. I would not trust anything to be clean.

I was really excited about this place opening Gluten free pizza crust, right down the street from me! I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious, the wait staff was very friendly and they even have an Atari in the corner that you can play for free (you have to pay to play Pie Hole’s)

«Our slice of the day is cheese.» Well, of course it is. That way, you’re not wasting ingredients on the only two people that came in all day. But don’t worry– they can add toppings. Why, thank you for my six pieces of dry, canned pineapple and my two pieces of Canadian bacon. Also, regrettable– the brown lettuce that came straight out the the pre-​packaged salad. And the horrible store bought dressings.
Oh, yes… I would like something to drink. I love getting that question asked when I’m five minutes from leaving money on the table after getting «salad» and my «slice.» Did I mention the service was a kin to asking my dog to take my order? When I asked my dog the secrets of the universe, the server had the same look on her face the entire time.
I’m so sick of people thinking they have street cred in this town over a once awesome bar. That BTW, is now a bastard child of a distant cousin that was committed.
OH! I almost forgot the plastic plates and bowls. If I wanted to eat off that, I would have stayed five and had my mom make me a pb & j sandwich. With pizza I want the box, a real plate or paper. Jesus.
How about this: You put some respect and effort into your new dining establishment. And save the dryer vent hose and solar system tacked to the ceiling for your kid’s next D– science project.
With as many GOOD pizza places that are the real deal in this town, why waste your time, money and calories on a place that I can only imagine was created to avoid paying taxes. Yup, I’m sure next year when you file, you can file Cosmic Pizza as a loss. Cause I’m filing it as an epic fail.

Cosmic Pizza took over the former home of Chef Roland’s. If you’ve seen how it evolved from how it looked as Roland’s to how it looks as Cosmic, you have to give credit to Cosmic for undergoing that kind of project.
The environment inside is kind of a tacky, silly retro sci-​fi theme with Christmas lights strung everywhere. The menu plays off of the theme as well with sci-​fi names for their custom pizzas. They have an Atari 2600 system hooked up to play. And if you’re from that era and look at their collection of games, you might be impressed. Unfortunately their controllers have been on the fritz when I’ve gone in, and it hasn’t been in a playable condition. I was kind of disappointed in that because I felt that playing it was part of the appeal in me going there. The local pawn shops might have replacements, and perhaps they’re unaware that joysticks continue to be manufactured.
I’ve had two pizzas there on two separate occasions– a pepperoni and a Moonstruck which contained chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, and sun-​dried tomatoes in a pesto sauce. I have to disagree with the prior reviewer in that I don’t find the pizza here to be New York style. It’s nothing at all like Guido’s or Piehole. In fact, the pepperoni pizza I got there was quite thick and doughy, almost like a Digiorno’s frozen pizza. The thickness of my Moonstruck was more standard along the lines of a Pizza Hut or Domino’s. Two different people prepared my pizzas, so mileage may vary as far as consistency.
I found the pizza to be just OK. Serviceable, and an improvement over your chain pizza places and such. But nothing I would go out of my way for (and for me personally, it is a bit out of the way geographically). While I thought my Moonstruck was alright, I admit to being disappointed with the amount of toppings put on it. They put themselves on the Boise Weekly card, which makes your meal here 40% off if you have the card. So kudos to them for that and for offering gluten-​free pizza crust on their small pizzas. But whether I return remains to be seen.

This pizza was really really good. They have such interesting pizzas! I would have tried something a little more daring but my husband’s mother was with us and she is not too adventurous. We got the shroomer which is red sauce, swiss cheese, caramelized onions and of course mushrooms. It was delicious! The swiss really brought out the flavor. It had just a little bit of tang that was good with the ingredients. The pizza is more of NY style and is pretty thin and floppy, which I like. We got the 18 inch and the 3 of us killed it. I think because it is thin it is not as filling which is good and has less carbs. But I am just glad we didn’t get the 14 in because it may not have been enough. And my mother in law isn’t the biggest eater! The atmosphere is fun and inventive. The have an old Atari game system set up and a ping pong table! I highly recommend them! I cannot wait to go back!
