Little Donna's is truly a standout restaurant in Baltimore, with wonderful "flatbread" nontraditional, pizzas, absolutely stellar salads, and artisanal cocktails that will blow your socks off. From the people sitting around me and my guests, the two times I've been, the other entrées came extremely highly recommended as well. The servers and bartenders are sociable, and where interesting conversationalist both times I've been, will never interrupting a conversation with my guest once it was flowing. It has a warm, inviting ambience, perfect for a casual date or something a bit more formal. Located on an unassuming side street, street parking can be a tiny bit challenging during the weekends, and it's usually busy requiring reservations Friday through Sunday from what I've been told, so plan ahead! read more

Little Donna’s - Seafood flatbread - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Little Donna, I'd leave my partner for you. In all seriousness, the best meal I've had in Baltimore in recent memory. We got extremely lucky and managed to snag a reservation for two on a Friday night one week out. Cozy atmosphere that feels welcoming and doesn't have the stuffiness we sometimes find with nicer restaurants. Get the pirogies! They had a special with lobster but we opted for the OGs and they didn't disappoint - I wish we had gotten two orders. All the food was excellent though - the smoked trout dip can only be described as a fusion of flavors that left me fiending for more focaccia. Also ordered the tuna tartare and tavern pizza; the latter landed on the table and was snagged before I could take a picture. Will be back; on a weeknight if it means not waiting for another weekend reservation to open up. read more

Food: Everything was good. The trout dip was my favorite, it tasted like salmon but wasn't too fishy. The lobster pierogis were a close second. The flavor and texture was great. The seafood ragu was disappointing since it has a high price tag ($36?) for a small amount of food. Service: The service was great. Ambiance: The place is very quaint and feels very homey. They even had free postcards. read more

We did the tasting menu at Little Donna's on Valentine's Day (made sure to snag that res as soon as it dropped, since I had been eyeing this place forever). It was 75 PP, and you shared all the plates. The interior was very homey, like grandma's living room, which I liked. We started strong with a Caesar salad that was unlike any I'd ever had. I usually *hate* radicchio, and this was the first time I barely noticed its bitterness. The next course of the beet toast with the meatball rillettes is also delicious. There is not one fault I can pick with ANY of the things I ate that night, so this review will sound repetitive, in that I'll say 'It was delicious/yummy/amazing' for everything. Because everything truly was. The Jonny cake with smoked Salmon, the potato dumplings with brown butter and sage, and the chicken with dauphinoise potatoes - everything a hit after a hit after a hit. The dessert was palacinke, which were Serbian pancakes, and that was a fantastic way to end the meal. You think '75 pp, and you're sharing one plate of each item? Weird.' But honestly, the portions were enough that I felt stuffed by the end of the meal. Would like to check out their regular menu at a later time. read more

Little Donna's is the BEST! If you can get in, please do go. The atmosphere is amazing and fun and like your Baltimore grandma's home, but if she also could cook an amazing pizza. As a peirogi lover, its so refreshing to have a spot that can satisfy that as well as other delicious foods. This is a great first date spot, last date spot, family vibe, or friends just having a good time. Service is really excellent as well, whether you are at the bar or a table. read more

This place is worth the hype! Relatively small inside but I promise it packs a punch always. The staples are a must (pirogies, pickle plate, pizza) but their specials are always so good too. Everyone here is wonderful and the food comes out fast. Highly recommend! read more

Truly one of the best restaurants that I've ever been to. Little Donna's has an innovative yet classic menu and is the epitome of elevated comfort food. Service was great and the staff was kind! A few standout menu items, the smoked trout dip was life changing, lobster pierogis, crab palacinke, and more pierogis for dessert. We left wanting to come back ASAP. read more

Little Donna’s - Lobster pierogi - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Top notch experience! Our regular dinner trio was fortunate to be able to get a table at Little Donna's on a Tuesday evening. The cocktails were fantastic! I ordered the Granny's Meds and Season Crush (which was muddle blueberries). My friends ordered the Granny's Meds and The Old Grandpa Tut. We decided to order family style. The special lobster pierogies were THE star of the meal. The flavor was incredibly amazing and the chunks of lobster were tender and delicious. The crab and cheese soufflé were the runner up. Beautiful texture and the hollandaise was so rich and decadent. The special scallion ceviche tostada was next. Beautiful ceviche. Followed by the Serbian pancakes, although we all agree we really didn't taste the crab or hot pepper chilli on the pancakes. However the cucumber salad and pickled onion were amazing. Followed by the traditional pierogies with sausage and kraut were phenomenal. Bottom of our list was the gig and smoked goods tavern pie. Still very good - the spicy apple jam was incredible - but we really didn't taste the smoked Gouda. For dessert we ordered the special bread pudding (with homemade focaccia and apricot) and the blueberry tart both with a huge dollop of whipped cream. All I have to say is holy shit!! It was amazing!! Hands down you need to go to Little Donna's you need to go!! read more

Yikes. Such a difference from our first visit. This time, we didn't have a reservation but didn't mind waiting since it was a Saturday night and we really enjoyed our last experience at Little Donna's. I had been craving pierogies all week, so we decided to make the trip. We ended up waiting a little over an hour to be seated. Once we sat down, it took quite a while before anyone even brought us water--probably around 20 minutes before someone finally came by to take our order. We started with the pierogies and the pickle plate. The pierogies were okay--not bad, but definitely not as amazing as I remembered. They were a bit over-fried and lacked filling. The pickle plate, unfortunately, was not good at all. The pickles were overly sweet, and the rest of the vegetables didn't taste fresh. It actually made me feel a little sick afterward. For our mains, my husband got the Taco Pie and I had the Cheese Pizza with Pepperoni. My pizza was decent--nothing special, but enjoyable. His Taco Pie, on the other hand, was disappointing. He regretted ordering it. Overall, this second visit was a letdown. The wait wasn't worth it, the service was slow and inattentive, the kitchen didn't look particularly clean, and the food was just average. I really hate leaving a negative review, especially for a neighborhood spot I want to support, but this just wasn't a good experience. read more

My friend and I treated ourselves to an early Mother's Day meal. We took a nice half hour stroll in the neighborhood while we waited for two seats at the bar. Eddie the bartender took great care of us and was very personable. He crafted a couple of nonalcoholic crushes for us (1 rhubarb, and 1 pineapple) and made a few menu recommendations. We had the spinach krokiety, fluke crudo, and the Maine lobster pieorgies (a special). I'd just been talking about tomato pie with someone so I couldn't help but order it, and Eddie suggested that we have it come out after the small plates. We would not have had table space at the bar for it all at once, anyway so this was a sensible move. The Maine lobster was suuuuuuper flavorful and I don't even like lobster. The krokiety was much more delicate and subtle with its lemon aioli and a little lighter on the brown butter. The crunch of the crushed pistachio on top helped elevate it texturally. My friend loved the crudo. The first spread of food was so filling and delicious but I'll be damned if we didn't find room to destroy that tomato pie!!! The noises we made while eating it spoke volumes. I think I said: "holy shit." out loud like 5 times. The NYT article was not bluffing. A big boon for the tavern style (thin crust) pizza crowd. Still salivating over that sauce. read more

Hmm. Not bad but not good. I Possibly needed lower expectations. Due to all the glowing reviews. But it was a decent meal with ok service. And the Pizza was meh. And if meh is fine for you than make the effort to make a reservation. The process requires patience. But not sure why. Perhaps it was an off night. But seemed like much ado about not much. Not bad but not good. read more

3.5 but rounded down. Wish I could give this place a higher rating but the dishes are hit and miss: The good: lobster pierogi and crab pancake were delicious! huge chunks of lobster atop pan fried pierogis, crab pancake had a delicate batter with a fresh crab filling + lovely salad + sauces The bad: beef tartar was heavyyy with chili oil/mayo/beef itself and very salty. we heard so much hype about the pizza but.. not our style. it's quite oily with a very thin crust so it feels also so heavy. Admittedly jm biased to more Italian, neopolitan style crust and lighter toppings. We were lucky to get a seat on a Saturday night though! Was told it would be an hour wait but we got a call 5 minutes later as we were heading out that a spot opened up. Glad we tried this neighborhood classic and would come back again, but maybe be a bit more careful with what items we pick. read more

Made reservations for 6 on a Wednesday a month ago! So worth it. We tried almost every small plate on the menu. All were outstanding. And perhaps the way to go in the future. Pierogies, steak tartare, shrimp toast and clam pizza stood out to me as some of the best of the best. Service was warm and efficient. Place is cozy and eclectic. Was happy to go with a group because I wanted to try everything. Highly recommend! read more

I've been dying to go to Little Donna's for over a year after hearing such good reviews. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The little krokietty with ricotta and squash were good and perfect for splitting in two, but the rest of the meal was bad to the point of us not finishing either of our dishes despite the expense. The pierogi were poorly made, what little filling was made was bland and unseasoned, the sauce was bland, the lobster was rubbery, I didn't find any of the bacon - I can't think of a single positive aspect of the dish, and I was so genuinely excited to eat it. The fig pie was super bland. We both wished it had had some acid to balance it out - balsamic vinegar would have been perfect. Didn't get any gouda flavor. Figs were very poorly cooked - likewise rubbery and unpleasant. I love every element of these dishes in concept but I found the result virtually inedible. And it was so expensive! It was so expensive and it all tasted so bad. It really hurt. Staff was nice, but also they brought my pierogi out long before my friend's dish and the timing and pacing was super off throughout the night. Maybe this was the off night to end all off nights, but I would not return and would recommend others avoid it as well. read more

Friends have raved about Little Donna's for so long and finally, my date suggested this place for dinner and I immediately said yes. We came at the beginning of the weeknight and it was full. We put our name on the waiting list for the high tops and grabbed a drink at the bar while we waited. I got their 3-2-1 Margarita which was delicious. The ingredients were well balanced and it had a good amount of alcohol but was not overwhelming. A table finally opened up and we ordered two apps to share along with a tavern pie. We got their special Lobster Pierogies, Smoked Carolina Trout Dip, and their Fig and Gouda pizza. Our apps came out quickly and I loved both. The pierogies had ample lobster meat and both were so flavorful. I was starting to get full as the app portions were quite large but still made room for the pizza. The pizza was thin crust and crispy and the figs were a nice touch giving it a light sweetness you don't normally find on pizzas - it was so good! Service was friendly and efficient. A cozy neighborhood restaurant with amazing food and drinks. I can't wait to come back to this gem! read more

Our first visit to Little Donna was incredible! From the moment we walked in, we loved the warm, cozy vibes and the eclectic decor. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and super helpful. Our server was Sully, who was fantastic and so attentive. We started off with drinks, I had the Dad's beer on Ice and my husband had The Old Grandpa. Both were great, and mine was enough to last the entire meal. For an appetizer, we had the Little Donna's Pierogis with lobster meat. It was heavenly, I can't even describe it - you have to try it yourself if you love decadent lobster! We also had the pickle plate, which had various pickled items and delicious deviled eggs. Our mains were also amazing. My husband had the pork schnitzel, which is stuffed with kielbasa, and it was five stars. The best schnitzel we've ever had, for sure. I had the chicken and dumplings, which came as the tenderest, perfectly roasted chicken thighs on top of pierogi dumplings and a delicious brown sauce. To end the night, we split the brownie sundae and had two after dinner drinks, the Flor de Luna and the Amaro Soldatini. It was the perfect way to finish the meal. We're already excited to come back and this time try some of the tavern pies! We saw multiple people come pickup pizza while we were dining in. read more

Little Donna's lives up to all of the hype. The lobster pierogies were like nothing I'd ever tasted before - the dough was soft but still a bit crunchy on the edges, the filling was silky, and the sauce was buttery and savory and so good I could have eaten it alone. The pickle plate was also a star - with citrusy carrots and deviled eggs. The decor is honey and kitschy, like your great aunt's living room - it was very comfortable and welcoming. The only thing I didn't like was that they charged $7 for a Shirley temple and then another $7 for the refill. read more

Have you ever made a reservation but it truly never was made? I did this for the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving which, in the restaurant business, is a very busy night. Yet Gwen and Roo saved the night by allowing our party of 6 to dine outside on a chilly November evening in Baltimore! First, Gwen helped me navigate my reservation "confirmation" which I never truly completed. Oh my! I totally messed up and she could sense my despair so she conversed with her colleague and they agreed to unlock the outside tables and chairs and set us up out there for dinner. Please note, there are NO heaters. Do not try this on your own! Nor should you expect it to happen. Our meal was so so great!We loved our tavern pie with crumbled sausage and banana peppers, and two other pies that rocked! We also loved the Carolina smoked trout dip. Their cocktail list is so diverse, delicious and affordable. We always end up with Eddie as our bartender at the end of the night with Bad Day Rose as our upbeat time to meet other guests and share stories. There is a reason this gem of a neighborhood restaurant has received such accolades. read more

**delicious, creative dishes! I love Little Donna's! The first time I came, I got the lobster pierogi special and it is one of the best dishes I've had this year. The brown butter sauce is so rich, and the sauerkraut adds interesting texture to the dish. They are generous with the lobster too. I also got a Tavern pizza, which was perfectly charred on the edges. I came again last month for a date night. It was a Tuesday evening, but the restaurant was busy! Reservations are hard to come by for the weekends, but easier for the weekdays. This time I had the stuffed schnitzel, which was really interesting! I personally thought the pork was a bit on the drier and tougher side, but my partner did not mind. Service is usually friendly too! read more

The cutest little spot in fells. It was my first time in the neighborhood and everyone recommended I come here. I love pierogis but usually they are kind of bland, which was not the case here. I went to a Polish festival over the summer that had some great pierogis, but the ones at Little Donna's blew those out of the park. Best pierogis of my life. Sitting outside wearing a tank top in November was a nice touch too. The Tavern Pizza was also delicious. We will be back! read more

This is a charming local place. We arrived early for our reservation and hung out at the bar for a while to wait for the folks to leave the table. Service is warm and friendly. I love how our server also provided us with tips and suggestions for our time in town. It was lovely. We found that the chef here spent time at Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. We live in LA and visit the Arts District location often to see Chef Chris Bianco and enjoy the pizza. The house salad arrived and while the tangy dressing is delicious, we found the market lettuces to be slightly overdressed. The lobster pirogies were a daily special, and the pirogies themselves were significant. Handmade with house made wrappers and the pan-seared. They were quite the best pirogies I've ever had. The lobster, sauerkraut and tomato butter sauce was more like gilding the lily. We couldn't taste much of the lobster at all. The tavern tomato pie with cheese was a suggestion made by our server. The Bianco tomatoes are the star with a little cheese, garlic and fresh basil. Crispy and delightful. Seared chicken thighs with crispy house dumplings and a lemon-white wine sauce. Solid chicken dish, but while the dumplings were crispy, they were tough and felt overworked. We had a pleasant meal and enjoyed our time. read more

We have now visited Little Donna's twice, and it has quickly become our go-to pizza spot in Baltimore. Great ambiance throughout the small space. Dimly lit, moderate background noise. Staff are quite friendly and helpful. We have now had three different pizzas, all of them excellent: Cheese pizza, Bianca pizza, and the pear and smoked Gouda pizza. The latter two we paired with their hot honey sauce, and the cheese pizza we paired with their house-made ranch. The menu is pretty small but creative and changes pretty often, though most of the pizzas appear to remain consistent. Can be tough to snag a reservation, but they reserve space for walk-ins. Best pizza we have had thus far in Baltimore. Will be tough to top. read more

Had such a delicious meal at Little Donna's last Saturday to celebrate a birthday! We just had such a great time, the only photo I remembered to grab was the lobster pierogi (usually comes in three, but we added one since we were dining as four!). Our waitress told us this is an item on the menu that rotates, and we are so glad we tried it! We also had the pickle plate (pretty standard with the addition of four deviled eggs which was delicious!)! For the main, we tried the tavern pie and persimmon and pecorino pie (which we added prosciutto on and definitely recommend doing). The pizzas are a good size but are really thin; the tavern pie has lots of toppings so it was hard to eat by picking up! We also had the schnitzel which was excellent! We definitely had left overs. Others at the table tried the cocktails-- no one had any complaints and said all drinks were delicious! I had the crush mocktail and it was delightful. Overall our waitress was great in describing the menu items and making sure to check on us at the right times. It is very cozy in the restaurant, so make sure you make reservations far in advance! There is seating at the bar, but I imagine it is hard to get a seat during peak hours! read more

Little Donna’s - Lobster pierogi - Pizza Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

After having Little Donna's on my list since it opened, I finally made it this week. I'm going to Connecticut with some friends for the 4th, and we decided to have a Mystic Pizza Night in preparation of the trip. I really wanted a clam pie for our Mystic Pizza Night, since clam pizza is a New Haven/Connecticut specialty. I had heard that Little Donna's makes a clam pie on Wednesdays (it might be the only place in the city that does?), so I decided it was finally time to try some of Little Donna's pizzas! I called around 5:30 on Wednesday and ordered three pies: their Wednesday clam pie special, their Cheese pie (crushed tomato sauce and cheese), and their Figs and Smoked Gouda (cheese, spicy apple jam, red onion, and rosemary), which I added Prosciutto to. The pizzas were ready about 30 minutes later, and they smelled so good in the car as I drove to my friends' house that I wanted to pull over and try a slice on the way. I was an adult and waited, but we opened those boxes ASAP when I got to their house. We loved all three. The classic cheese was very good - the right amount of cheese (not too much) and a great sauce. The Figs and Smoked Gouda pie was really great, too, and I think adding prosciutto or another protein is the right call, but it's a bit sweet and a salty protein only made it better. The clam pie? Exactly what I wanted! Lots of garlic, lemon, parsley, and clams. I'd be happy to eat it every Wednesday. Since I had a chance to go in to pick up the pizzas, I noticed that inside is small but very charming. I'd happily eat inside. The service was great (when I called and when I arrived to pick up the pizzas). I love their menu, and I'd love to go back for some of their non-pizza items (pierogi, trout dip, crab salad, pickle plate, schnitzel, etc.)! If I have a complaint, it's this (and it's really more of a warning): parking availability is horrible. To pick up our pizzas, I parked quite illegally (I knew I'd only be inside for a few minutes), because I didn't fancy having to walk blocks carrying three pizzas. Overall, a great new (but not really so new anymore) restaurant in Baltimore: interesting, inventive menu; great pizzas; great service in a comfortable, casual spot. I'll definitely be back. read more

3.5-4 overall Food: interesting options. The perogies are okay, but would get the plain ones with sauerkraut and kielbasa on the side. Compliments them well. Their pizzas are good, I would suggest going for a unique flavor (Wednesdays are clam pizzas). Their plain pizza is missing something. The homemade sauce on the side is an additional cost too which would have been nice to know upfront. Not worth the cost. Service: takes a little time to get your food, but it is a very small establishment and they don't have a huge kitchen. Would recommend placing the pizza order way in advance. Ambiance: small, quaint read more

This is definitely a hot spot in the city if you consider the reservation process. Well worth it once you arrive and have your first bite. We tried the pickle plate, pizza, pierogi, and bluefin tuna sausage. Each dish was described excellently by the staff and they were very attentive. The happy hour was tempting but I am currently on a "dry January" alas. I was disappointed that I was charged $7 for a "mocktail" for ordering a Shirley Temple. The interior is warm, inviting, and similar to a quirky Aunt with great taste. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for the last few years and have consistently enjoyed every time. The food is European inspired with American elements. The menu is simple and would be describe it as elevated comfort food. The pierogis are phenomenal and we get them every time we go. The food is fresh and high quality, and in our opinion over the years- consistent. The pizzas are delicious and are made tavern pie style, so do not expect the NY style that is common. If you like cocktails, they make great cocktails as well. Recently we got the Taco Tuesday - margarita with a twist, if you will, and I got the Old Grandpa Tut- an Early Grey infused bourbon cocktail. Both were lovely and well balanced. The atmosphere is cozy and unique. Full of vintage decor and nods to the midwest as the owner is from Indiana. This also means there is always Three Floyds beer, which is not too common at east coast joints. Overall we love it and will keep going and taking our out of town friends when they visit. One couple even came back to Baltimore and went their first night back! read more

Good food and service, but a little pricey and dark inside. Came here on a weeknight with some friends for the first time. We ordered a lot of plates to share and some cocktails, everything was pretty good. But some of it was pizza which seemed sort of basic. The best thing we had was a special - lobster pierogi. If they have that - make sure to get it, it was incredible. We also split a few pizzas - highlight being the clam one. That said, I have had this type of pizza before. I also found it to be very very dark in the restaurant and during a rainstorm, it was hard to see everything! Overall, we had a great time and if they added more non-pizza things to the menu I would return. read more

I've wanted to try Little Donna's for quite awhile, but their reservations book up so quickly. We decided to take a chance on a Saturday and showed up around 5:30. We lucked out and scored seats at the bar. This place is worth the hype and then some! The pirogies with lobster were sublime. And the summer margarita pizza was fabulous. Heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and delicious cheese on a most fabulous crust. We made note of the other dishes we saw diners enjoying, and look forward to returning to try out those dishes. This may be my favorite restaurant in Baltimore. read more

I have to come clean - I have no clue what to say about Little Donna's. But I'll try to buss it down for you. TL;DR : Each menu item will pique your taste buds with how creative they are. They have staff that are experienced and friendly. The price does justify the quality and quantity of the food. I would recommend coming here for special occasions. This place can only be described as the embodiment of 'yeah see if that works' kind of dig. In what other world could you get, essentially, a pickled charcuterie board, pizza named pies, and grade friggin' A pierogies. Albeit the food itself felt like a melting pot of different cultures combining (i.e. pierogies had a Asian/European fusion flavor profile in my opinion), however each dish we ordered didn't feel out of place from one another. They definitely got the 'Mmmmm' factor out of me for sure. Let's start with their pierogies. My god, can they make a man cry. I have no idea what country of origin these things are from - but I do know the come from a place of love. These European-dumpling-like creation seemed to be pan fried, laced with the essence of onion and garlic, and smothered in zingy chili crisps and parsley. All this triggered my 'Mama Mia' neurons upon entry into my mouth. While an order comes with three pierogies, I do wish that it came with at least twenty. Biting into these is so satisfying as you come into contact with the subtly seared dough exterior and make way to the gentle chew of the interior. I BEG YOU TO TRY THIS ONE AT LEAST. When greeted with the pickled plate, I was confounded with their pickled carrots, beats, and deviled eggs. Personally, I have never found myself to be a 'pickled' person, but this dish may have changed my mind. All aforementioned inclusion provided with the pickled plate were delightfully tart with a bite satisfying to each vegetable. Finally, I had the tavern pie with figs and prosciutto. Not much I can really say about this but they struck gold with this combination. The pizza pie itself was topped generously with cheese while its crust and dough cooked satisfyingly crispy. The mild sweetness of the scattered figs were welcomed flavors as the strewn prosciutto imparted most of the savory and umami flavors through. A great tavern pizza overall. The community built around Little Donna's is wholesome to say the least. Located within Upper Fells, you can find familiar faces, well-known and friendly staff, and many dog visitors. I am thankful to be within the area, and I will definitely come back again. read more

Little Donna's is such a cute, romantic spot in Upper Fells. Came here for a date night on a busy night but snagged some tight spots at the bar. The pizza was really oily and I wish the sauce had more flavor but maybe I should've tried another type besides just cheese. The pierogies were delish tho!

Little Donna's lives up to the hype. Go to Little Donna's for comforting, flavorful food. I highly recommend making a reservation as this place has been in high demand since making it onto the NYT's restaurant list and Yelp's Top 25 Places to Eat in Baltimore list. As of now, the only way to reserve a table is by emailing them directly so it's a bit of a process - hopefully they set up reservations on Yelp soon. Once we got there, the inside was super warm and cozy. Eclectic decorations and vintage touches adorn the walls. The service was just as warm as the interior. Our server was kind enough to tell me about the gluten free options. To my delight, the fried pancakes on the menu were gluten free thanks to the chickpea flour they're made with. We also got the chopped salad, the scallops, and the chicken. It was a feast! The salad wasn't anything to write home about but the scallops were nice and tender and the chicken was extremely well marinated in a delicious sauce. The chicken also came with a slaw and beans that paired nicely. I wish I could have the famous pierogies and the pizza because both looked and smelled sooo good. Maybe one day when I'm feeling impulsive. We are so lucky to have such an incredible spot in Baltimore. read more
