    I was walking around the Inner Harbor to do some shopping but I couldn't find what I was looking for so I walked up Light Street. I was pretty hungry and saw Tiny Brick Oven Pizza. I have been wanting to try the pizza for over a year and finally I did. I walked in and the owner Will was super friendly and asked me my name. He asked me what I liked and I said cheese. I do like pepperoni and sausage but sometimes they are salty for me. Will suggested I get two slices of cheese and a drink and I said that sounds good. He also let me try the gelato and the caramel gelato was really good. I didn't get gelato this time but I will in my next visit. The pizza was crispy and thin and not salty. How I like my NY style pizza. I will definitely be back cause I found the best pizza in Maryland and its been a long time since I have had a great pizza.

    Will is such a nice guy and a great experience! He really knows how to make you feel Welcome! Pizza was very good!

    I met the owner another Will whose energy was out this world. That just gave me a preview to who great the food would be and let me tell you it's amazing! If you're in the Federal Hill area make sure to stop by and grab a slice! Also, ask for the caramel cookies and cream ice cream. You won't be disappointed!!!

    TLDR: Great pizza, awesome owner, and a real neighborhood asset. After living in Federal Hill for six years, I've seen plenty of pizza spots come and go, but TinyBrickOven is definitely a step above the rest. Not just because of the pizza, but because of how the owner runs his business and cares about the community. We stopped in before a nearby Yelp Elite event to grab a quick pregame slice and went for their 2-slice special ie. two slices and a Jones fountain soda for $8. Following Dave Portnoy's advice, we got plain cheese to really test the quality. The slices didn't disappoint. Crispy bottom, soft top, and a perfect sauce/cheese ratio. The slice size was a little smaller than NYC-style slices, but for the price, no complaints. The staff was super friendly and even gave us free gelato samples while we waited. The owner is clearly passionate about what he does, and I love that he runs a "pay it forward" slice program so people can donate slices for those in need. Overall, this place is a true local favorite and well worth a visit if you're in the Fed Hill area. Great pizza, great people, great vibes.

    One bite, everybody knows the rules! Such a great local spot if you're looking for No Frills pizza. Upon approaching the building, the owner was outside doing some cosmetic work and he immediately created us and welcomed us in. Then we walked in one of the staff also greeted us right away and let us know if we needed any help just to let her know. The menu overall is pretty simple and the prices are great. They also offer some dessert options and she even offered us some free samples of their gelato. And after the free samples, I would highly recommend that everyone grabs a cup. The pizza is so simple and a wave of nostalgia just came over as I but into it. While the pizza was on the thinner side, it still had a nice crunch and a chew at the same time. They also have Jones soda on tap, which is amazing because I really think their sodas are flavorful. The spot overall is pretty small so if you plan on sending they do have a couple tables and some bar areas but otherwise you would probably have to take it to go . If you're not familiar with the area, it is street parking and a lot of the places in Federal Hill are permit only so just make sure that you read the science carefully before parking.

    What an awesome experience & an excellent pizza! As an Italian-Bostonian who grew up on delicious pizza, this is right up there with the best! If you're looking for a fine dining experience, then this place isn't your cup of tea but if you want an authentic & tasty pizza pie, then this place delivers! Will, the owner & manager is also the nicest guy & worthy of your purchase!

    Currently only pizza is available.

    Please read the whole review as there is some important information!!! I arrived on a Tuesday morning at 1115 after the infamous Dave Portnoy visit. I was the second person to walk into the door that morning and had the opportunity to speak at length with Will before it got crazy. I have to mention that Will is everything that he was during the Dave Portnoy visit. He is truly the nicest guy you will ever meet. He is down to earth, veteran and all around great guy !! The place is extremely small, 12 seats in total. At the time of review I would say you're not going to be able to sit down and eat as it's just that busy. The pizza..... If you like New York style pizza then it doesn't get any better. It's thin, great sauce and Will uses a high quality pepperoni!!! Due to the high demand patrons were limited to one 16"in pizza per person/or group of two. Groups of four or more could get two pizzas. Will also has an amazing pay it forward system going on. Buy a slice for a person in need!!!! It's sad that it took Dave Portnoy to visit in order to wake us up to this amazing place. I'm glad he did, Will and Tiny Brick Oven are both amazing.

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.

We split a ceasar salad, meatballs, the greek pizza, a sausage pizza, and two speciality pastas- a cacio e pere (pear), and another one that I can't pronounce in italian but was a very thin lasagna like noodle with meats/spices inside. We also split one of their desserts, which i really liked. Shout out to the hazelnut gelato which was particularly delicious. I will absolutely return!

The Agnolotti was not bad but the flavor was more earthy than I prefer, but my friend thought it was delicious so we swapped pastas. All in all it was cute spot to catch up with the gals the service was great. Will definitely be coming back to try the Rigatoni and some of their cocktails.
