Vocelli Pizza

The best delivery pizza in the Colesville area. Didn’t even realize that I never wrote an actual review for them, which is a little strange considering that it’s our go-​to pizza place.
Each and every single order is cooked to perfection. The crust is flawless with just the right amount of sauce/​veggies/​cheese. The meat is also good, but I prefer the basil pesto primavera pizza. All that fresh veggie flavor combined with savory cheese and sauce is just what you need for a lazy day watching movies.
The chicken tenders are also good, as well as the subs. Think of it as your favorite cheap&greasy takeout, except it’s neither cheap or greasy. Same options, better taste.
Delivery is prompt and if they’re busy, they’ll tell you. I’ve never received a cold or late pizza.
Enjoy!

Underwhelming. Ordered the Deluxe Artisan Pizza ($ 17.99), and a Spinach salad ($ 7.99) for dinner. For the price they charge for each item, it is not worth it. There wasn’t anything memorable about the meal, the pizza was ok, and the salad was ok.
I will not be ordering from Vocelli again. Of all the pizza places in the area, I prefer Domino’s, Ledo’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, and Squisito’s over Vocelli.

Not all Vocelli Pizza are equal. I usually do not write reviews on chained fast food joint, what’s the point right? Well, I will make an exception for this Vocelli. I have tried the Vocelli in Ellicott city and if you did not know you would think that was from other subpar pizza place. Everytime I order their pizza (we like the Chicken Spinaci), it is fresh and hot, chicken are tender, and the bread crust are warm and crunchy (fresh off the oven crunch).

Spaghetti was decent. The Italian cold cut I got was the worst I have ever had. It was a joke that it was really a sub. It had minimal meat on it, no Italian seasoning either. There was way more bread than meat and toppings. The pepperoni stomboli was good at best, very salty and greasy. Will not back here.

Pastas are pretty good for delivery/​takeout. Nothing special though. Calzones are worth trying. I like them all. There’s no ricotta which I really like. Everything tastes really fresh although they have messed up my order twice and I’ve gotten home to find out it’s not what I ordered which really turned me off. I think try it or not. Either way You’re ok.

BP and I ordered carry-​out and got an advertized deal for one large one-​topping pizza with a box of the Vocelli poppers (now I forget what they are called).
BP actually paid extra for a two topping pizza: chicken an banana peppers on thin-​crust. This is our usual Dominos order, so we tried it here. It was good, but lacking the garlic seasoning that Dominos offers, but we still enjoyed it.
Vocelli chicken costs extra, but it is worth it. The meat is nice, clean, and white meant. It was very tender. I seriously could not believe how good the meat was.
The pizza crust on this thin-​crust was so crispy and perfectly crunchy. It was seriously addictive.
I don’t think I liked the banana peppers as much because of the acidity.
Those poppers were really good as well. I am glad I got to try an order of the garlic. The order came with one container of marinara sauce. The sauce was excellent. BP thought they weren’t as garlic-​y as he initially thought they would be, but liked them none the less.
The other poppers were pepperoni and cheese and spinach and mushroom. I would be interested in trying the spinach and mushroom order and BP was debating to get hot subs (buffalo chicken, maybe), but we did not get it this time.
Even though they skimped on the paper plates and napkins (two thin paper plates and literally four napkins), I was very impressed :)

The pizza arrived in a timely manner, and it was nice and hot. This time, in addition to the pizza, we ordered a salad. All the ingredients were fresh (we used our own Greek salad dressing, so I cannot comment on their provided salad dressing).
As expected, the pizza crust was excellent. We enjoyed it the first night, and a couple of days there after (I reheat the pizza in a dry Teflon pan and the crust remains nice and crispy).

Never EVER get the canolli’s here. They are soggy and soft. These are not the crispy in the least. Sadness.
But the thin crust cheese pizza is VERY good!

This is the best pizza that you can have delivered in Cloverly/​Colesville/​Briggs Chaney. (Papa John’s and Pizza Hut and Domino’s suck.) However, overall, the pizza is above average, but not as good as Ledo’s (on New Hampshire Avenue) if you want to actually get in your car and drive somewhere.
Pros: Thick, doughy crust, which I love, love love. I think they have two different crust choices, but I always say «regular» and they give me the thick stuff.
Their cheesesticks are also quite good.
Cons: Don’t get the sausage. I normally like that topping, but there’s had a weird flavor.
The delivery fee. Who still charges those in 2011?

This WAS, previously, our favorite pizza place. We bought two Colosso pizzas nearly every week for four years. The kids loved their little pepperonis and, as a Pittsbugh native, I was thrilled that Vocelli pizza was in Maryland.
Then one day we ordered online. The online system changed our order to ‘no cheese’ on one side of our pizza — so we got a pizza that looked half-​naked. We called and explained this problem to the manager — who said they had made the pizza just as it was ordered, so it wasn’t his problem. We practically begged him to make us a pizza WITH cheese, since it wasn’t our fault that the system messed up, but he said NO.
We said we had been coming there for years, almost every single week. But he said he didn’t care if he lost our business.
So, he did. Mine used to be a five-​star review, but not anymore.
Too bad for all of us, I guess.

Move over Papa Johns — Vocelli’s is my go-​to pizza delivery place. Can’t speak for the other items on the menu, but the cheese pizza is good. I don’t believe in putting BBQ sauce on pizza but my friends always order the BBQ chicken pizza and love it.

**RELATIVE REVIEW**
Relative in terms of to other CHAIN DELIVERY pizzas. This place isn’t bad. Hadn’t heard of it, it’s like a secret delivery chain that doesn’t invest in advertisting (no, seriously).
I’m often a bit «under the weather» on Sundays. I have a regular Excedrin, football, pizza and family room couch date. Sometimes I’m so under the weather I debate ordering delivery because I don’t even want to get the door, or be seen. Usually come 12 – 1, I get over it cause I need fat and carbonated beverages.
I’m a pizza purist — always go for the plain pizza, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and ordered a spinach garlic pizza and it was quite tasty! Not cheap, but then none of them are anymore so next time you find yourself immobile and in need of some delivery pizza, give Vocelli’s a try.
ps. Veggie sub wasn’t that good.
