Absolutely incredible pizza, whiskey selection, and staff. Not your average bar food. Definitely worth an in-person visit if you have the chance. All the pizza is 10", sort of "personal pan" size, and there is an amazing sauce at each table kind of like a parmesan thousand island/Italian dressing to dip in. Not sure how else to describe it but it's unreal. If you do have to get takeout, make sure to ask for some to go! Their buffalo chicken is perhaps our favorite but they're all excellent. Don't forget to ask your server about the whiskey! They're able to accommodate all palates and price ranges- the whiskey list is huge, just ask for help. Keep in mind this is a small restaurant and you may have to wait for a table, but be patient and it'll be worth it! Luckily pizza is a fast food to make and eat. Some of the best pizza and friendliest staff in Baltimore!! read more

It had been quite a while since I last had Barfly's pizza, so when the urge came over me, I went with it, and it did not disappoint. The crust is ample and flavorful, and the sauce on the barbecue chicken had just the right amount of heat. I got it to go, so I didn't spend much time inside, but the bartender was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Just as I remembered. read more

SOOO much bourbon. Barfly's is a cool little spot with super friendly service. We stopped in here late Thursday afternoon and had a few drinks, pours of whiskey, and bites. The pizza was a great surprise. We usually like crispy thin crust pizza which is the opposite of Barfly's pizzas. We tried the buffalo chicken which was more than enough for 2 people to split. Although it is a thicker crust pizza we still thought it was fluffy & light with very little flop (we did ask for it to be well done). The toppings on the pizza itself were also generous and tasty. We tried the pretzel bites with their homemade honey mustard which were good to munch on between drinks. Definitely recommend this place for an afternoon snack & drink. read more

Good lawd. Barfly's got it goin on! A relaxed atmosphere with good service, nice beer selection, lots of bourbon (!!) and best of all - the food. Here is my advice: Go with someone that is an advocate of sharing meals. If you do not have someone like that in your life, my god, go find one. Someone who likes to share meals is usually a pretty clear indicator of a great friend as well. Anyways, go to Barfly's and order a meatball parm to share and a hot and spicy pizza to share. The pizzas are unique. They are personal size, filling and the crust is thick but also crispy - just perfect! The best part about this place is the liquid crack that stays on the table. It is one of my favorite condiments of all time. Yesssssssssss. BRB heading to Barfly's because this review made me do it. read more

Such a great little pizza spot. Came for dinner and loved the warm, cozy interior- it's a small little place. They had several televisions on and it was super busy. We sat down and the service was pretty good. The pizza was super thick crust and extra cheesy. Great place for quick, delicious pizza. read more

Barfly's - Sausage Pizza Pie - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Best deep dish pizza (and yes, its not-soaked-in-grease) and leaves my childhood fave behind (sorry P. Hut) They do not advertise their pizza strongly and YAY for that. It is still a long wait, but oh it is worth it and yes, each time, I am too anxious and have burned my mouth! Not their fault, the pie is right out of the oven and I just couldn't wait. It is so light and airy it makes me think that their was German or Teslan engineering in somehow have it be so tasty, satisfying and yet grease-free, crispy and light but DEEP DISH? HOW???! Probably using high-dimension abstract algebraic number theory, this pizza was created to defy all previous conceptions of deep dish pizza, and I could not be more pleased with now with craving deep dish pizza! The bar is down home and welcoming though not very large. The bar is narrow and has wall tables for some standing room behind the bar stools to round out their bar area. Going deeper in the dark and no-nonsense restaurant, you will find some tables. The bathrooms are right there dead center of your walk from the front door to the kitchen, amidst tables and bar stools so, well...make it quick ;) The brew selection is good with enough taps to pick 1 to 3 to satisfy. But their real strength is their whisky as they boast quite the selection. If that is your bev of choice, then you could go every night for a year and find something new every day. They have a nice menu to compliment their tour de force pizza including good salads, bar bites (like wings, fresh veggies, pretzel bites), sandwiches (gotta try the italian) and of course...the PIZZA PIES with many choices there. A must try if around the area. Pizza pizza read more

Based on the number of people picking up pizza boxes, this is a popular spot for takeout pizza. I, on the other hand, was here in search of some whiskey. There are hundreds of types of whiskey to try, but unfortunately the menu lists only names and prices, with no tasting notes, so there's a lot of research or guessing involved in placing your order. If you're like me, you order based on the funniest name. Unfortunately, they seemed to be out of quite a few bottles, and I was told the menu is long overdue for an update. Barfly's could be greatly improved with a more knowledgeable bartender and a little more care in curating their menu. read more

Very tasty pizza, love the think crust. I ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza and it had the perfect ratio of hot sauce, and chicken. It was so good I didn't realize to take a picture until it was half way over lol. The pizza arrived in a timely manner and I didn't have to wait long for my order. read more

I have been here twice in the last month and the hype around the pizza is totally legit (I like the two-cheese with the Roma sausage)! For sure some of the best in Baltimore. But also - the house salad is out of this world!! I don't know what is in that dressing but it's amazing. I'm looking forward to dining in once it's allowed again, the staff could not be friendlier! read more

Delicious pizza and a great beer selection!!! The crust is wonderful. Fun bar and great service.

Surprisingly the best salad in Baltimore. Which is weird to say cause I'm not a big salad person. They make their own house dressing. The pizza and cocktails are just as on point. read more

Great whiskey bar boasting a selection of over 700 varieties! Sampled several and enjoyed a cocktail or two as well as their incredibly delicious pizza! read more

I searched Yelp for the best pizza and this place came up. The slices in the pics looked like Chicago-style, so I made my husband drive me there on a rainy Saturday night. We sat ourselves and ordered one white pizza to share. What a mistake! We should've ordered two pizzas. So hot, so cheesy, so cakey. After we devoured that first pizza, we ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo pizza. They were both the best pizzas that we have had in a long, long time. read more

This is my new favorite pizza and as a self-identified pizza fatty(trust me on this one) it's simply the best! The reviews weren't kidding when they called out the pizza and friendly service. We stopped in on a Saturday night around 8:30 and it was busy. We walked past the packed bar and a very friendly bartender set us up at a two top. Lots of beers on draft and the ambiance is friendly and cozy. There were even some parties with little toddlers running around so definitely a laidback atmosphere. The servers pushed together a table of 10 in the back too so this place accommodates everyone large and small! I highly recommend this place for a good eats and the pizza (I'm in love with the crust) is to die for! read more

Barfly is an unassuming bar located in riverside. Inside though, you'll find a huge selection of whiskey and good pizza. We came here the day before I had to catch an early flight so opted out on the whiskey. I ordered a meat pizza which was loaded with sausage, pepperoni, prosciutini among others. I wouldn't call this a deep dish pizza but it was definitely semi deep dish. Cheese blend and sauce was good. The crust was delicious. Will definitely come back to pair the food with whiskey next time. read more

Two reasons to come to Barfly's. Number one is the whiskey: ~250 different choices of any style you could wish for. They run a Century Club of 90 named whiskies plus ten write-ins. Although completion doesn't get you much more than kudos, it's a great way to try some new distilleries. If you're less inclined to tick off a list, the bartenders really know their stuff. This evening I went for a familiar Copper Fox, which is super smoky and delicious, and a new-to-me Amador Double Barrel, which was a little bland. Reason number two is the pizza. I don't even know what style it is. Deep pan, personal-sized pizzas, with a phenomenal parmesan-coated crust. The spinach pizza is a personal favorite, but I haven't had a bad one yet. Tonight's choice was a spicy ham and cheese that wasn't quite spicy enough, but was pepped up well with some red pepper flakes. Other than reasons one and two, Barfly's is a pretty standard Baltimore bar. Decent amount of seating for a rowhome-wide space, TVs with the O's losing as per recently, and homely decor. Basically pretty much perfect. read more

Haven't been here in over a year--my loss. Brought some friends from the neighborhood who had never tried it. Three of us had different pizzas and all simply GUSHED with the same "this is the BEST pizza I've ever had!!!!" Couldn't stop praising it with every bite. I remembered that from pre-pandemic and confirmed it today. But let's talk about the salads and salad dressing--fresh, crisp, delicious greens and homemade dressings to die for. Great size. And the meatball sandwich the 4th in our party had was, as he put it, "a tad better than my all-time favorite." All in all, this place is perfection for the limited menu they serve. If you want anything that they have on their menu, you won't find better anywhere. My only suggestion is they should add a satisfying side dish to go with the sandwiches to the menu--fries, macaroni salad, mac & cheese. Potato chips are okay with lunch but don't make it for dinner and Barfly's is only open for lunch F-S-S. read more

This isn't my first time visiting Barfly's. Their pizza is super tasty! It isn't your usual thin crust or thick crust, but there is definitely substance to the crust. I love the spinach white pizza. They have an amazing salad dressing on the table and goes well with their house salad and dipping the pizza and crust in! Their hot and spicy pizza isn't actually spicy, but tasty none the less. Will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent food and prices, great whiskey selection that has extensive bourbon offerings.

We came here randomly because nearby Bar Liquorice was closed. I thought this place was fine, but nothing special. The pizza was decent but didn't "wow" me - I had the spicy pepperoni but it only had a little kick to it, not truly spicy. It looked like they had several beers on tap, but sitting at a table it was hard to know what the options were because there was no list. The server rattled off the names but without knowing anything about several of the beers it was hard to know if any of them would appeal. It would be nice if they added a list with a description. There is also no happy hour and the server refused to split our checks, which made it kind of annoying for 3 people who all ordered different things at different prices. Overall this place is fine, but I doubt I'll return. read more

Food- Yes. Yes. The pizza is delicious and semi deep dish. I love the 4 cheese pizza my gosh! And the sauce they have in big bottles is some ceaser concoction that is fantastic with everything. I also like that they have my fav Sorry Chicky sour beer. If you're into whiskey they have a giant selection. Service- Always good, nice service. Owners are cool. Atmosphere- Good location in federal hill. Nice local spot. Sometimes gets overpacked, especially when they have random events/birthdays? in the back. Also the wait for the pizza sometimes takes a while, and they aren't very good about judging time for to go orders(never as quick as they say). They've offered a beer before when they took too long time. read more

This is my favorite bar in Baltimore, hands down. The taps always rotates with a great selection of craft beers, and the hundreds and hundreds of whiskey options at your fingertips are overwhelming and exciting at the same time. The pizza is my favorite I've ever had, with incredible crust and a great ratio of toppings. So. So. Good. Get the pizza. Even if you prefer thin crust you won't be able to argue with how insanely good Barflys pizza is. The service here is great too, with a nice local feel and the most friendly bartenders around. There is nothing not to love about Barflys read more

Fantastic meal! We got the pretzel bites and veg version of hot and spicy pizza. The pretzel bites were nice and soft and the hot and spicy mustard that comes with it is delicious. We subbed out the pepperoni for mushrooms and the pizza was very good. I do want to mention that the hot and spicy pizza on the menu says it has hot peppers but it did not and when we inquired about it they said it was the pepperoncinis. However, the menu said pepperoncinis too so they should remove hot peppers from the menu listing. The pizza was still fantastic and reasonably priced. They also have this house made dressing that is on every table and is very good. We dipped pretzel bites and pizza crust in the dressing. read more

We were excited to try this page after moving to Locust Point and hearing that they use the same pizza crust recipes as Our House and Matthews. However, the similarities end there. Service was very friendly but slow. They have a unique draft beer selection, and the bartender seemed happy to make recommendations. We were pretty hungry so we ordered garlic bread and Caprese skewers for appetizers, plus the chicken club and shrimp fra diavolo pizzas. Half an hour after we ordered our food, our appetizers came out and we couldn't believe they took so long. The garlic bread was basically a sandwich roll cut in half and covered with garlic powder and a slice of cheese. I could have made better garlic bread at home in half the time. The caprese was ok but nothing special, and they served it on basil leaves as garnish so you didn't really get the basil flavor. Our pizzas awkwardly came out 2 minutes later, but they were way better than the appetizers. The chicken club was especially good. I'd come back here for pizza only if I was hungry and Our House was closed, but I'd be wary to try anything else. read more

I love this place! The pizza is amazing and service/ambiance is perfect. Highly recommend.

Open during covid. Was hungry and wanted a decent bite so decided to come here. Matt is a great bartender and the pizza was delicious. I ordered a vegetarian pizza. I am normally not a fan of thick crust but wow! The crust is so buttery it practically melts. I would come again! read more

Finally made it to Barfly's and can't believe I waited so long to check it out! Located among the row houses lining fort avenue, Barfly's interior is surprisingly nice! A clean modern bar with an open area and darts board in the back, this place was busy but not over crowded on a Friday night. We sat at the bar and were helped immediately by a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Known for their bourbon and whiskey, we let the bartender make recommendations for us and we're not disappointed! The food menu is primarily pizzas, with appetizers and a few entrees spindled in the mid. We opted for the much recommended pizzas. I went for the hot and spicy, which was delicious and just as advertised. Don't leave without trying their homemade special sauce! Our group was 50/50 love it, hate it. I personally loved it! Overall, a nice, clean bar with friendly servers and good whiskey and pizza!7 read more

I'm here to balance out the reviews. I really like Barflys! It's a neighborhood hang, filled with locals, just the kind of place I like to visit when traveling. So here's my reasons for liking Barfly's: 1. Because one of my favorite SF hangouts was named Barfly. 2. The bartender was super friendly! 3. Most importantly, I LOVE Barfly's because they served a damn good cannoli. It was huge, it was fluffy and it ended my trip on a great note! Baltimore, you sure know how to serve a dessert in a bar, kudos! read more

Don't miss out on the pizza here : amazing!! Yes, the best pizza in Baltimore is at Barfly's. It's a personal size (although enough for two people with a salad and appetizer). The crust is thick almost like a pan pizza but not greasy at all and so deliciously crunchy. The dough is very wonderfully fragrant with that proper yeast fermentation. The toppings are also fresh and not overloaded. You can get sausage pepperoni, bacon.... they brown their bacon perfectly. The tomato sauce is very tasty with a perfect amount of Italian spices. I loooove this pizza. Barfly's is also a great bar with the largest whiskey selection I've seen. Great service and adherence to Covid protocols. We love this place. read more

They say history is written by the winners, and while I don't necessarily endorse that saying, in this case it does seem to apply. As a result of some kind of feud that I don't understand and also as a result of having really really good pizza, I will pronounce that Barfly's has the best pizza in Locust Point (for sure) and best pizza in Fed Hill (for most likely) and top three pizza in all of Baltimore (I see you Paulie Gees and Joe Squared). Pizza? Isn't this a bar, you ask? Stop taking the name so literally, I answer. Their pizza is great. GREAT, I tell you. We got the spinach pizza (the regular, not the white spinach pizza - I don't like when my pizza announces its color these days) and the hot and spicy pizza. Both of those are deep dish, proving yet again the "common" saying that Baltimore Pizza invented Chicago Pizza. The spinach pie was incredible, and the best pizza I've had since leaving New York. The hot and spicy was hot on its heels, so to speak, and was also awesome. We also got to try the famous / infamous sauce for the crust (overrated - the crust is perfect as is) and one leftover slice of buffalo chicken pizza (from our dining buddies, not randomly off someone else's table) and it was also great. The beer list is very solid too, and the prices are all reasonable. If you aren't eating here, basically, you're messing up. Step up your pizza scene! read more

This was our first visit and the food was very good. The pizzas were tasty (had a thicker crust) and the salads were excellent. We'll be back! read more

Their pizza is unlike anywhere else, not your typical New York or deep dish style, but fluffy and light (weird at first but then you get addicted). The house salad is also legit, with actual dark greens and the BEST house dressing ever! I wish their drinks were priced a little better or they had better happy hour specials, but if you want to eat a whole personal pizza and be satisfied but not upset with yourself, go! read more

Let's just say when you walk in, you have no idea how much this hole in the wall place will change your life. But trust me, it will. We ordered a pizza to share, no starters because we came for the crust and the spicy marinara side sauce - so why ruin our palate before hand. When the pizza came out, we stared in awe. The crust looked like perfection. I grabbed a slice, tossed some red pepper, and poured some marinara sauce on my plate and took my first bite. And then another. It doesn't hit me until I'm halfway through that the crust is one of a kind and I'll likely never find a place that can compete. Even when you're done eating the crust, you still taste the crust. This place has now been added to my highly recommend restaurant lists. If you're looking for a no frills, out of this world pizza - Barflys is your place. read more

Easily could be the best pizza in Baltimore. Not pretentious and just plain delicious. Personal sized and semi deep dish style with the best crust ever. It reminds me of a better version of pizza hut's pan pizza. So soft, light, and crispy. Don't forget to try out the homemade dressing! read more
