Half white pizza half Godfather Pizza
Yamini V.

Great pizza spot for a good price and chill vibes, especially if you're hitting the Senator for a movie right across the street. Eats: We did the half white half godfather 16" and it was way more than enough for two. The white was my favorite with the ricotta but if you're looking for a more stuffed and meaty feel, The Godfather's your best bet. Staff was kind and we even got a complimentary strawberry shortcake to take with us!

Pretty good. Garlic knots and Caesar salad. Garlic knots were made to order gripe is that they weren't dripping in butter and garlic sauce but they were good and fresh. Salad was standard.

The pizza is good. The manager is bad. I called in to get a slice when they opened at 11am. The guy told me 15 minutes. I showed up a few minutes later and waited in the car for another 10 minutes. Went inside, they never started the pizza slices. I asked why and the guy just kind of brushed me off, even though he saw me sitting in my car the whole time. He came out a time or two while I waited (the chef was inside the whole time.) He said "we don't have slices until 11:30am." That would have been fine if he told me that on the phone, not so fine since you told me at 11 it would be 15 minutes. Normally a little longer wait wouldn't be an issue, but i was making a quick trip for my lunch break. I told him i had tried to come grab a slice the night before and they were closed early. He asked when and I said I was there at 10. "We close at ten!" I explained that Google said they were open until 11 and he might want to edit the hours on there. He continued shouting at me, "We close at 10. It says that everywhere! don't know what Google you're looking at! We close at 10!" I pulled it up to show him, he pulled it up too. He then said "that needs to be changed!" No apology, nothing. They get all their ingredients and their desserts from Costco, I watched him bring them inside. The slice was fresh since I had to wait another additional 20 minutes. Due to the jerk that runs the place, I won't be back.

Margherita Pizza -- the most beautiful pizza in all the land
Alexandra K.

Mario's has quickly become my favorite pizza spot in Baltimore! I refuse to order form anywhere else since discovering it. To me, the true test of a good pizza is a restaurant's cheese and/or margherita pizza. Both from Mario's are simply phenomenal! I can eat a whole 12" of the margherita on my own --it is just THAT good. Crust is crispy and holds up to the generous amount of delicious sauce (they don't skimp on the sauce, LOVE them for this!), unlike those other pizza slices that immediately flop down when you pick them up and all the toppings fall off... that's the worst. They give just the right amount of mozzarella and basil too. Holy moly I'm drooling just thinking about it. Also, if you're a normal person and don't eat entire pizzas in one sitting like me, this pizza reheats super well! Crispy but still saucy and just plain perfection. I'm so so glad to have Mario's in the area. Pickup and delivery are always a breeze. Love that they sell single slices too. I'll soon be trying the subs if only I can break away from the pizzas for once. The meatballs are also delicious! Omg okay I'll stop now. Thank you Mario's for keeping me well fed during this pandemic!! #thankyouthursday

Fries, mozzarella sticks, & fried ravioli... delicious!

This restaurant is close to the Senator Theater. The food is amazing! We had the margarita pizza & it was terrific. The staff are friendly and very attentive. My family and I will certainly return here for a post movie meal.

Just enjoy

I live 2 blocks south of Mario's. I've eaten nearly every pizza in a 1-mile radius (that's a lot of pizza) there is nothing that really compares. The dough the sauce and the cheese it all comes together to create that great pie! It's always clean, bright and the staff is always friendly and helpful. But it's all about the pizza and this is THE PLACE and THE PIE!

The good berry salad was so incredible. The goat cheese, cranberries, and corn were so perfect, I added grilled chicken- and it was so flavorful- not dry and not chewy. I can tell it's high quality. And I'm so beyond full and happy. My son crushed the cheese pizza. My husband (who said he didn't want anything) happily ate the chicken sandwich. I love how easy it was to remove or add anything online. My husband doesn't love mushrooms or mayo- and it was so easy to remove them. And the kitchen got the order perfect. The restaurant itself was so clean and well run. I honestly wish this place was closer to our house because I would order from here more often .... And I might if I can get it delivered somehow. Eek.

Flavor was on point, and the small pieces were delicious. Unfortunately, many of the sprouts were huge and simply didn't cook through and were crunchy on the inside. If they either cook everything longer, or cut the sprouts smaller, this would be a killer combo. If you are in the neighborhood for jury duty, this is a solid option and offers a 10% discount.

Also ordered a Caesar salad which unfortunately did not come (again, the delivery had other issues so I don't think it was the fault of the restaurant). My bf loved the cheese ravioli. He thought the filling was tasty and enjoyed the sauce. Their red sauce is a more chunky sauce with onions which I did not taste because I'm not a fan, but he would get it again. I'm still looking for a smooth sauce for some chicken parm, but no worries since the menu here has plenty of different sauce options! I enjoyed the chicken francese. The chicken was very tender and it was a generous portion. I felt it could have used a bit more flavor, but the sauce was a nice consistency and the linguine was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the complimentary rolls that came with the meal. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and will try more items in the future!

Driving down York Road one day I decided let me finally make a pit stop into Baltoz. An open space counter to see some of the magic in the kitchen, no frills to the restaurant, but a warm and inviting atmosphere for hanging out and enjoying a delicious pizza for dinner. All of the baked goods displayed on the counter entice you to indulge in a sweet treat before ordering a pizza. My first visit I just settled on some cookies and a jalapeno cheddar bagel, since I was on my way elsewhere for dinner. But let me tell you how the chocolate chip cookie instantly became one of my favorite bakery cookies. And the bagel was decadent for my morning breakfast, covered in cheddar cheese with those crispy edges that bake at the base of the bagel. On my second visit I settled on their corn pizza since it was a different flavor combination, and it tasted like a slice of summer. Corn, basil, and ricotta, and you can't go wrong. And the staff has always been really pleasant with each visit. I'm a sucker for baked goods and a wood-fire pizza and I can say Baltoz has stolen my heart. I'm looking forward to trying more of their rotational baked items. And I know for certain their pepperoni pizza has to be a showstopper.

It's always best to place your order online in advance so you don't have to wait around 20 minutes. There's some bar seating available inside the restaurant but additional tables available outside.

Had to eat a couple of slices fresh out the box, before I brought the rest home. Those two slices were "molto buona"!

Forno is officially one of those spots I will make the drive for. This was my second visit, and yes, I came all the way from Gaithersburg because the food is THAT good. It's a super cozy, family-owned, hole-in-the-wall Italian spot with such a warm, homey vibe. Nothing overly fancy or pretentious, just really good food, good wine, and the kind of atmosphere where you can settle in and stay awhile. The MUST order for me is the Arrosticini -- marinated lamb skewers grilled with lemon and EVOO and served with arugula. These are authentic Italian-style lamb skewers, and I'm telling you, you do not find these everywhere. They were so good we ordered TWO rounds. I almost went for a Third but they were sold out...no shame in my game. The fried artichokes were another standout, especially with the creamy cacio e pepe sauce. That sauce was so good I was dipping everything in it by the end of the meal. We also shared the meatballs, prosciutto burrata salad, and the Calabrian Sweet & Spicy pizza which is has fig jam, Calabrian chili, mozzarella, brie, and balsamic glaze. That sweet, spicy, creamy combo on the pizza was so good. We split a bottle of wine too, and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable some of the bottle prices were. Sam took care of us and was incredibly personable and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We ended up lounging on the couch, sipping wine, eating amazing Italian food, and just vibing. Honestly, such a good date-night or catch-up-with-friends kind of spot. Everything I've had at Forno has been delicious so far. Can't wait to be back! 100/10 recommend. Worth the drive. Come hungry, order the lamb skewers, and thank me later.
