Small shop offering a great selection of Whole New York style pies or slices of Sicilian Pizza. All pizzas are made with sour dough and well priced based on the quality of ingredients. Baked breads, bagels, and desserts are also available. Small amount of inside seating with some outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Can be busy with take out orders, our wait time was about 30 minutes for a pie but well worth it. Definitely will be returning! read more

This is the best Pizza in Baltimore by far! The crust is thin and crispy and it's absolutely delicious! If you haven't gone, now's the time to go check it out. It's a small hole in the wall, with limited seating for grab and go customers. But I've never made it back to the car without having a slice. And another on the drive back home. The guys working there are nice and they give you a specific pick up time when you place your order online so it's always fresh and hot and ready when you arrive. You have to order online, so do it earlier on in the day otherwise you'll be picking up on the later side! But it's totally worth the wait! read more

The crust on this pizza is amazing! It's perfectly fired. Drizzled some hot honey on it and it was... chef's kiss! read more

Definitely a spot to check out, guys. My dining partner and I really enjoyed the mushroom pizza with cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, mozzarella, arugula, parmesan, olive oil. The sparse interior lends itself to an interesting organic meets industrial feel which is pretty interesting, but that doesn't have anything to do with the delicious pizza. Great service too, by the way. read more

We were craving pizza, but didn't want standard chain pizza. After a quick search, we decided on giving Baltoz Bakery & Café a go. Turns out, this hidden gem is one block up from one of my favorite ice cream places (The Creamery) on York Road. Easy peasy. Upon entering, granted it was close to closing, the interior is quite sparse. Not sure how long they've been there but it's a very clean space. The people that work there are young, but they came across pretty proficient at what they were doing. The young lady that helped us answered all our questions and made some good recommendations. We opted for the following: CHEESE SICILIAN SLICE: I was so happy to have a slice of Sicilian. As a native NYer, coming across a place that has a 'good' Sicilian slice down here in the DMV, has been quite a rarity. Baltoz did not disappoint. Thick slice. The naturally made sauce with fresh tomatoes had great flavor, delicious stringy mozzarella, and basil leaves. SCORE!! MUSHROOM PIZZA: We decided to split a Mushroom Pizza - made w/ Tomato (or cream available) sauce, mozzarella, a WONDERFUL MUSHROOM MEDLEY of [cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms], a healthy serving of arugula, chive, parmesan and EVOO (olive oil). The crust was a perfect brick oven pizza crust. The fold-ability was NY-worthy (lol - ya GOTTA fold the slice to eat it right!). For a meatless pizza, the Mushroom was satisfying and filling. TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!! Definitely a 'repeat' is needed... and soon! read more

We were recommended to try Baltoz and it did not disappoint. My husband is a self proclaimed pizza critic being from NYC and he really enjoyed their pizza. We ordered the spicy pepperoni and it was delicious! He already said he wants to try another pie next week lol I ordered ahead on the website for pickup, it took about 20 minutes to be ready. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. It's a very chill, quiet place. In addition to the varying pizza pies, they have Sicilian slices, fresh cookies and fresh bread for purchase as well. read more

Excellent pizza! We have ordered from here twice and have enjoyed the pies each time. Each time, the pizzas were ready for the pick-up time we selected. We have had the mushroom pie, once with the cream sauce and once with their tomato sauce. Both were excellent, but we preferred the tomato sauce. We also had their cheese pizza, which had great flavor and is more than just sauce and cheese. On our recent visit we had their cream corn pizza and added spinach and hot honey. Both were welcome additions! The crust on all the pizzas is flavorful and crisp, with a nice thickness of a little more than a neopolitan pizza. Great value as well as the pizzas are huge. They heat up really well in the toaster oven the next day. Baltoz also has sourdough loaves and cookies. Haven't had either yet (with the exception of the sourdough crust of the pizza) but they look delightful. Can't wait to return as we make our way through the whole list of pizza options. read more

Ordered the mushroom pizza and it was spectacular. Got the tomato base this trip but will be trying the cream sauce base AND the spicy margarita pizza. Nice ambiance. Pizza ready exactly on time. Will be returning. read more

Baltoz Bakery and Cafe - Mushroom pizza - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is one of the best pizza places in Baltimore without a doubt. The pizza has incredible sauce and flavor, and always has a crispy undercarriage. You pick up the slice and it doesn't droop down. The dough is amazing and my favorite is their hot honey pepperoni. Takeout is best, but they do have seating inside and out. read more

The pizza is my favorite! But, they don't make it clear that most customers prefer-order, so that when they open at 4, your nearest pickup time can be 2 or more hours later. The parking for pickup is hazardous. Just tonight I spent 15 minutes looking for a spot and both another woman and I were nearly hit by red light running cars while using the lit crosswalk to pickup our food. And, we're expected to tip for the privilege. I don't mind tipping, but I resent being asked to tip before I know what the service is or the quality of my food. At restaurants, servers make sub minimum wage and depend on tips for their salary.. Counter and kitchen staff make at least minimum wage. AND they have NO phone in case you need to check on your order. They can make such simple steps. The food is good but the experience is a hassle. read more

A newer spot that was featured on one of the local food IG sites. Interesting they open at 4:30 given they are partially billed as a Bakery. Small spot and basically it's pickup or delivery only for now as I didn't see any tables inside. You get a wood fire burning aroma when you walk in which was cool and unexpected. Wasn't sure what to order and couldn't tell what size the pizza was from the website (comes in one size only option) Turned out to be 16 inch pies. Ordered a Supreme and we loved it! Thinner crust so you get the slight sour dough taste, generous portions of spicy cup pepp and house sausage were tasty and played nicely with the roasted peppers. They had Sicilian style slices which reminded me of some of the pizza spots in NYC. Pepperoni, Arrabbiata and Plain (Margherita). With the thicker crust, you definitely get that tangy sourdough taste. We enjoyed all three. Also, saw some pastries (sweet/savory), cookies and Bread. Got the Chocolate as well Cinnamon Cardamom Babkas. I'm usually a Chocolate only Babka fan but their Cinnamon/Cardamom stole the show. I saw a sea salt chocolate cookie that looked enticing-next time. As other Yelpers have written, you can order online before they open at 4:30 (not sure how much before opening they take orders). On a Friday, I ordered our pizza at 4 and the pick up time was 5:55 and was actually ready at 5:45. Service was upbeat and engaged. They were busy with some customers waiting and a young lady was hustling with a smile to take care of her customers. We will be back! read more

I first noticed Baltoz Bakery and Cafe during one of our visits to the Charmery. The building was empty but looked like it was in the process of coming. Over the next couple months I began following their Instagram account and came across an article about the owner and his sourdough pizza recipes. All of this just hyped the place even more. But the limited hours and Mondays and Tuesdays being closed made it difficult to get there (I completely understand though, it is one man doing all the pastries and pizzas as far as I can tell). Finally, after a Sunday afternoon birthday party in a neighboring establishment, we were in the area during their open hours. The door says Baltoz opens at 4:00. It was probably 4:03 when we left the party and pulled on their door. Locked. Drat! Foiled again. We started to leave when the woman running the checkout area rushed over and unlocked it. She apologized and escorted us in. That smell! We were greeted with the smell of fresh baked sourdough. Around the register were loaves of bread and pastries. While we were really there to try the pizza, my family couldn't resist the baked goods and bread. So we left with some of those as well. As far as pizza goes, I ordered the vegan pizza on the menu, my kids got a cheese one and my wife ordered the sweet corn and cherry tomato. We were informed that it would be 20-30 minutes so we left to do some grocery shopping. We returned 30 minutes later and the pizzas were not yet done. It was an additional five to ten minutes before our order was up. Problematic? Maybe. But someone at Baltoz snuck an extra pastry into our box, I can only imagine as compensation for the wait. The vegan pizza consists of Tuscan white bean sauce, roasted red pepper and walnut pesto, zucchini, peppers, onion, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and thyme. This isn't your standard vegan cheese, sauce or vegan meat pizza. These items were specially grouped together because of how they enhance and contrast each other. Paired with the sourdough crust, this was an excellent pizza. The corn and tomato pizza consists of cream of sweet corn sauce, fresh and low mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, basil and olive oil. The ingredients in this one were also selected because of how they fit together. My wife had the same reaction I did. It was an excellent pizza. My kids weren't really into their cheese pizza. I contribute this to the fact that they aren't super adventurous. They are happy with chain pizza places. Baltoz's is not cheap. We left with a bill that was very large. But good sourdough takes time. I felt with the amount of food we got, the size of those products and the time and effort put in to making them, the price made sense. You will find cheaper elsewhere. You won't necessarily find better. The pastries and sourdough were excellent. The pizzas, great! Because of how good the product is, Baltoz's has earned five stars even though there are/were some kinks to be worked out. read more

I have been in Baltimore for 4 years and just came across this bakery. They have the best pizza in Baltimore!! Amazing and a must try! :)

This was take out so it's really all about how good the pizza was and was it a fair price. Five stars on both accounts. Excellent pizza, great crust. They don't say this clearly on the website but the size of the pizza is equivalent to what most places would call a large. read more

This new pizza joint is the truth, I enjoyed it thoroughly.. Probably has shot up to my personal favorite and I do have a roster. It doubles as a bakery, limited baked goods if you will, so picked up some babka.. I think the flavors I purchased were cinnamon and Choclate, both were excellent. They a were on the pricey side, but will surely be back further my next pizza fix. read more

Baltoz Bakery and Cafe - Supreme pizza - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Love love their pizza!! The crust is sooo good since they are first a bakery and now expanding into 'za. Our favorites are the spicy pepperoni and the sweet corn and cherry tomato. The mushroom is delicious too (add the goat cheese!). Make sure to plan ahead and order early! This is not mass produced or turned out in a rush, the good stuff takes a little while. Definitely worth it! read more

This is legit. Just moved back to Baltimore from Philly after 7 years and was convinced I'd have to settle for lesser pizza. This CLEARS anything I had in Philly and I tried everything there. So glad we had this level of pizza in Baltimore read more

Everything here is delicious ! Pizza is banging. Cookies and baked goods are incredible. Only reason not giving 5 stars is it is HOT! Idk if they don't have AC or what, but call ahead and pick up. It's like a sauna waiting in there. read more

Absolutely love the pizza and cookies. Wish they were open every day, not just Wednesday through Sunday. It's best to order ahead for pick up because walk-ins usually have a much longer wait for a whole pizza. Highly recommend. read more

As a pizza aficionado who has eaten at Pizzeria Bianco, Mozza, New Haven, etc., having something like Baltoz in the Towson area is a gift from heaven. Their sourdough crust and fresh toppings create one of the best pizzas in America. Don't miss out on their pesto Vodka pizza, but you cannot go wrong with the classics, whether you go "grandma" or classic style. The cookies are also divine, just know that for a full pie you should consider ordering a day or two in advance to assure you get a spot. read more

My five year quest for delicious pizza in Baltimore has finally come to fruition! So good!!! Got a pepperoni and mushroom pizza of my dreams. I guess I should be happy they open at 4:30 so I do t eat pizza for lunch every day, because I would. read more

Amazing pizza and cookies! Their cheese pizza is definitely my favorite in Baltimore. Order ahead in the morning.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about the pizza here. Very floppy. Average at best.

I think this is the best pizza in Maryland. My friend Greg is from New Haven and every time we grab pizza he tells me I don't know what good pizza tastes like but tonight we grabbed this and for the first time in my life Greg admitted this was good pizza and I've probably seen Greg every week for like 10 years now and this is the first time he's admitted pizza here is good. That should tell you something read more

We've tried almost all of their pizzas and they're all fresh and amazing. Personal favorite is the veggie! Such a great neighborhood spot.

Best pizza outside of New Jersey. Good crust, crispy and great flavor. I will be getting my pizzas there in the future

Easily the best pizza near us, and worth a longer drive honestly. Yes, the wait can be longer on weekends, but I've had it delivered within an hour on a weekday. Delicious artisan crust with nice charring and bubbles, sauce is great, high quality cheese and toppings. Looking forward to trying their other goodies when hours are expanded. read more

We are so happy to have Vlad and his incredible pizza in our neighborhood. He's making some of the best pizza in Baltimore.

Wow! It has been a long time since I had amazing pizza. How is there not a line out the door from the time they open? Close to perfection. I will be back. read more

We can't say enough about their pizza. It is awesome! Baltoz is our favorite pizza place in Baltimore region.

We ordered from Baltoz tonight and it did not disappoint! The crust was one of a kind and very flavorful and on the whole the pizza felt on the healthier side. We will be returning soon!! read more

The gentleman who delivered my pizza was on time and very friendly and professional. The pizza was 10 out of ten crispy crust tasty sauce and the perfect amount of cheese. read more

We ordered our first pizza from Baltoz today - excellent food - a spicy marinara with fresh cherry tomatoes. As others have noted, the bread/crust is a highlight. The pizza easily large enough for three (normal) people. It is more expensive than nearby places, but the quality of the ingredients was very much apparent. It was a difference that to me made it worth it. I might not do this if I'm getting pizzas for a kids soccer team - but when the goal is have something very well made that tastes like real food - this is where I'd go. I didn't buy one, but the pastries and loaves of bread also looked close to perfect. I can imagine that if they ever open in the morning, the pastries will not last. No tables or chairs, very spartan - that also would be nice when they get to that point. And I like that the menu is limited and that they stick to it. Smart move to do what you can do and do it well. This place certainly deserves support and I hope they are able to expand their hours. read more

Pepperoni Pizza is fire! The pepperoni, sauce and crust are ridiculous! Having said that, I didn't like the Sicilian pizza and no one in my house did. I'll definitely be going back to try something other than pepperoni pizza... unless you got time to waist, I'd suggest ordering early, they get busy later read more

My go to place for pizza. Vegetarian is a favorite. Warning - my kids don't like it say it's weird. I guess their idea of great pizza is dominoes and this definitely isn't that. read more

This place is brand new- they opened about a month ago. I was so impressed by the huge case of delicious looking pastries and breads. I tried the cinnamon cardamom babka- it was so delicious! We ordered a pizza to take out and it took about 30 minutes. Best pizza I have had in a while! The crust was crispy and the toppings were incredibly flavorful. I'm hoping that they will extend their hours once they get more established. Will definitely be back here again! read more

Can't customize order on line and no phone number not good disappointing

First time trying their pizza and would travel to Towson for it again! The sweet corn and tomato pizza was the best I've ever had.
