“ I tried Continental Pizza recently and the cheesesteak and fries were really solid. Nothing too special, but they definitely hit the spot. The large sandwiches are basically just two regular-sized ones, so you get a good amount of food. The inside is a bit dated, so I'd mostly go there for carryout, but there were still a good number of people dining in when I went. The staff was nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely come back to try more things and grab some pictures. Seems like a solid lunch spot! ”
“ Continental Pizza - A Slice of Nostalgia in Kensington Stepping into Continental Pizza felt like walking back in time. This place has been a staple since my high school days, and I usually come here for their legendary steak and cheese subs -- always filling, whether you go for the 8" or the monster 16". But this time, I switched it up and went with something my buddies used to rave about: their pizza. Specifically, the small 10" sausage pizza. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The thick, gooey cheese stays perfectly melted on the pizza, and the sausage has that perfect snap with just the right amount of spice. And the sauce? Packed with flavor -- a little tangy, a little sweet, and the perfect complement to the cheese and sausage. It was exactly what I needed for a pick-me-up lunch, bringing me right back to those after-school hangouts. One thing to remember, though: cash only! But it's a small price to pay for that comforting, nostalgic meal. I called ahead for carry out, and by the time I walked up, my pizza was ready, hot and waiting for me to take home. The service was as quick and seamless as ever. If you're looking for an old-school pizza spot with great flavor and even better memories, Continental Pizza is the place. Whether you're reliving high school days like me or discovering it for the first time, this little gem in Kensington never disappoints. ”
“ Chicken Souvlaki and Pizza are amazing. Owners were very nice and the food came with little delay. ”
“ This place is a cute hole in the wall! They are a cash-only shop, but you can use your credit card if you order online. I ordered online and picked it up from the store. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smile from the lady behind the register. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak and seasoned fries. I have no idea what the fries are seasoned with, but they were so tasty! They pulled them right out of the fryer, so they were hot and fresh. My sub was good--not the best cheesesteak I've ever had. I think I'll give this place another shot and try their pizza next time. ”
“ This place was great when I was a kid; I came back recently to Maryland for my high school reunion and was delighted to see the it was still here, and shocked that if anything, it's even better than I remembered. This may be the best pizza in the world. I don't know how they do it. ”
“ Always a great choice. I've moved away from the area several years ago and this upon returning for a week this was one of the first places I wanted to be sure I went back to try. So not disappointed! Still cash only, still just subs and pizza, still banging. And it seemed like many of the same staff was there. Love that loyalty. I went with a Large Steak & Cheese with everything and was able to share half with my wife, it's that big. We sometimes just get double meat when we're real hungry. Can't forget the fries! Kids loved their half pepperoni / half cheese pizza. It's a square pie with a great dough and awesome cheese blend. ”
“ Pretty good subs! Quick to make them and the tomatoe sauce was good. Plenty of cheese on both the meatball and steak sandwiches. We'd come back. ”
“ My brother and I stumbled upon Continental Pizza years ago and today, I finally introduced it to my wife while we were in the area. This place may not look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. Although I have yet to try their pizza, they make the best steak and cheese subs in town, possibly even in Maryland! I ordered a 16-inch sub to go and my wife and I ate it in the car. After halfway into our sub, we knew we had to get another one. The sub was not too greasy and the amount of steak and cheese was just right. The additional toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, mushrooms, and hot peppers really took the sub to the next level. I highly recommend making the drive to try these subs for yourself. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, so be sure to stop by an ATM beforehand and pick up a few twenties (just in case you're sharing your first 16 inches with your wife and need to make a second order). Trust me, it's worth it! ”
“ So it was lunch time and I was thinking about a sub a steak and cheese sub. Only place in town to get a delicious steak and cheese with Great crispy fries is Continental Pizza and subs. I normally order my steak and cheese with extra cheese with mayo and fried onions, and they did a wonderful job with my order, couldn't ask for anything better, service is always great everyone has a nice welcoming smile, it's always a quiet and clean place, Great place to stop off for lunch, I love it. ”
