TLDR: Great Detroit style pizza, flavorful specialty pies, and friendly service. The Towson location lives up to the Underground Pizza name. We have been fans of Underground Pizza since their early pop ups in Highlandtown and have also visited the Baltimore location near Power Plant Live. The Towson location absolutely holds up. We had a substantial credit through the InKind app, so we dined in and started with the appetizer sampler. The mozzarella sticks had the big cheese pull everyone loves, and the mac and cheese arancini bites were another tasty start. For pizza, the UPC CBR was the surprise standout. The lemon pepper chicken thigh was packed with flavor and made this much more interesting than a typical chicken bacon ranch pizza. We also ordered the Italian Flag, a classic UPC creation combining pesto and red sauce. Both pizzas arrived hot and fresh, and the service was great throughout the meal. My only critique is the seating. I wish there were a few regular tables and chairs instead of only high tops with barstools, which can get uncomfortable during a full meal. I imagine most customers are ordering takeout, though. Overall, we still love these guys, and their social media presence giving no quarter to ridiculous Google and Yelp reviewers makes them even easier to root for. read more

Underground Pizza has been on food bucket list for a while now. Detroit style pizza never disappoints, and when you can't choose what kind of sauce you want, Underground Pizza does it all. Enjoy a slice that has cheese, tomato sauce, pesto and vodka sauce. It was incredible!! The dough was thick, chewy and perfectly toasted. While a bit expensive for a slice of pizza, it was worth every crumb. Service was great and the vibes in a pizza restaurant are always great. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items! read more

Been to UGP a few times but I decided to get something other than pizza and wings. I went with the fried chicken cutlet sandwich. Came with cheese, bacon, ranch sauce. It was very fulfilling and a great sized sandwich. If you are one not to eat much, you will definitely have leftovers. It comes with chips but you can sub for fries as well. There is street parking and a parking lot across the street. Service was very friendly and quick. Not too loud. read more

Cozy pizza joint. Great pizza toppings. Even better appetizers! Service is quick and friendly. Place is clean and not too noisy. My husband loves their pizza! He drove us from Fairfax, VA to Towson, MD. That's how much he wanted me to try their pizza. We ordered a bunch of their happy hour specials. Pretty good find! read more

I was craving some Chicago Pizza, so I went with Detroit style because they say it is similar. Hmm, square versus circle, big difference. However, the Pizza here is very good. A bit pricey (I'm from NYC) for me but certainly good tasting. I had the SPO and it was good. However, then I had the Tiger King. It was very good and made the visit to this place memorable. It had a ton of cheese, pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon and the sauce was delicious. You will not be disappointed. It was $30 & $35 for them. Pricey for me but I have paid much more for food I did not like. As a dinner option with a couple of sides, they could feed for people. Give it a try if you are in the mood for a night of good pizza. read more

If you're looking for that deep dish, Chicago style pizza without having to travel there, this place may be what you're looking for. The pizza is pretty good. Service was really great when we went in recently. The gentleman was very friendly and helpful for whatever we needed. It's a pretty simple aesthetic with high top tables and stools. I do appreciate the high top high chair for my little guy! That was nice to have so that he was level with us at the table. Drink selection can be improved in my opinion but otherwise, no complaints. Street parking which ends at 6 on weekdays and there's some construction going on but don't let that deter you. Check them out! read more

I frequent the downtown location of UPC but found myself in Towson and decided to stop in for some carry out. I ordered a half Tiger King (Meat Lovers) pizza which was $20. That may seem hefty for a half pie, but it was actually huge and thick, and I ate it for three days. That's a tasty deja vu. Service was great and the order came out quickly and piping hot. Cute decor at this location - nice tiger wall! read more

First time visit... 9.5/10 Also when it says 4 to 5 people... i ate all but 2 slices... so make sure your hungry if you don't want to Have Leftovers -------PARKING IS EASY HERE------- Parking across the Street is $10 for 4hrs(or custom time if shorter visit)...(add licence plate and time and pay by card... no receipt so you gotta take a picture of the screen to know when to come back read more

Stopped at Underground Pizza for the first time to try the Garfield pie. There were a few happy hour specials, so we got an order of wings as well. The pizza was ok, but I thought it would be a bit more flavorful (the sauce). It looked better than it tasted, but honestly wasn't bad. The wings were pretty good as well. The decor and overall vibe were cool and we received excellent service from Floyd. Will definitely be back to give some of the other menu options a try! read more

Love Detroit style pizza? This is the spot for you. Buttery thick crust? Yes please. I was worried the crust would overwhelm the pizza , or would be undercooked because of the heavy topping and sauce but it didn't. Sauce on top is a wild concept but it works. I really wanted to come last summer to try the crab pizza so I hope they run it back this summer. We ordered a full pepperoni / cheese and I enjoyed a half Bianca and Old Bay Garlic Parm Fries. I tasted zero old bay. I wasn't wowed by my Bianca but my husband said the red sauce was surprisingly delicious. We'll be back. read more

Nina provided exceptional customer service today while dealing with a complex computer outage. We pleaded for her help as we drove over an hour for their delicious pizza and she came through! The Tiger King Pizza and mozzarella sticks were amazing! Thanks again Nina!!! read more

Four 3.5" x 3.5" squares of okay pizza and an okay salad, no drinks, long wait, no table service, and not a welcoming place to sit down... $50. Probably not worth it for me. There aren't great pizza options in Bawlmer generally, but I'll stick with Hersh's, Verde, and Baltoz, which are all worth the dough and the drive over Underground. One stand out thing: nice, friendly person running the counter. read more

Had such a great experience at the Underground Pizza Co. in Towson. Shout out to Nina and Dav for literally making FRESH BAKED BREAD for the cheesesteak sandwich! The arancini had such a nice crispy exterior with a great cheese pull. Cook on the wings was phenomenal with a solid buffalo. Definitely recommend for their happy hour specials too. read more

Thoroughly impressed with the food at this location. My wife and I have been to the downtown Baltimore location a few years ago, sat outside, ordered the UPC Sampler and I'm sure their pizza, but never had a desire to revisit. We decided to check out this Towson location and decided to come since my wife discovered their gluten-free option. We ordered their buffalo wings extra crispy, which comes with carrots instead of celery sticks. The wings were great. We had just come back from Greece and hadn't eaten any wings in a month or so, but they definitely hit the spot. For my pizza, The Flag, I really enjoyed their signature red sauce. So good. The staff was friendly and definitely made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back. read more

Excellent! Food is super high quality! Great Detroit style pizza Ambience is just ok But that's not an issue, it's all about the pizza read more

The best, the only , the most creative, the crispest Detroit pizza you are ever gonna eat.

If you like Detroit style pizza, you'll love this place. They have mastered the crust, sauce, and topping ratio for the perfect pizza. Their wings are also super crispy and delicious. However, I do feel that they're a bit overpriced. A full pizza is about $30+. A half pizza is about $15+. I don't think the pizza is worth such a high cost, but it is good pizza. read more

This pizza gets points for high quality toppings and creative combinations.The pepperoni was very spicy. The mushrooms were very good as was the pesto. My only criticism was the crust. It was heavy and greasy,I think this pizza would be better consumed in the store where it would be crisp out of the oven. read more

This review is for their takeout experience only: Unfortunately, Underground Pizza does not have a phone line but will take orders via their textline. I texted my order and drove to the store, knowing that the wait can otherwise be long. When I got there, I was informed that their text line was down and that they never got my text - though they curiously told me exactly what I had ordered in their next breath without my asking. So it's hard for me to know whether their text line was actually down or if they just weren't paying attention and lied about it. Regardless, I ended up waiting 35 minutes for the pizza because of this, which wouldn't be terrible if it was worth the wait. The pizza itself looked and smelled good when it first came out. However, by the time we got home (a 25 minute drive away), the bottom of the pizza had already become soggy from sitting in various liquids (juices from sauce and toppings etc.), which ruined what should have been a premium experience given its price point. We didn't finish our pizza. I guess that's why their pizzas are served on top of a rack in their restaurants? Unfortunately, the same experience/quality isn't replicated for take out diners (maybe having the sauce in a separate container can help with the moisture issues?) Lesson learned, no more take outs from Underground Pizza. The next time we're craving pizza, we'll either need to dine in at UPC or go somewhere else (JBGB is our current go-to for excellent NY-style pizzas - good for both dine-ins and take-outs!). Update: the pizza was better the next day after drying off the bottom overnight and crisping it up in the air fryer, though none of this should have been necessary for the pizza to be semi-enjoyable. read more

This was our third time ordering from here. It was recommended by someone on Nextdoor in a conversation with someone looking for gluten-free pizzas. The first order tasted so delicious though we were kept waiting for more than an hour (apparently one of our pizzas had burnt so they had to start over). The order for two 1/2 pizzas was close to $50 and we were given a lousy $15 credit on our next order! Cheap, Cheap, Cheap! When we got home, the extra crabmeat topping was almost nonexistent. The second order was fine. We ordered the same pizzas though no extra topping for me. The third time, same order this time my husband tried ordering sausage which was hardly noticeable. My pizza had only two small pieces of bacon. Such a rip-off! Don't bother ordering additional because it won't be worth the high cost. read more

I ordered UberEats from this location. The pizza was terrible and is one of the worst pizzas I've had in a very long time. The fries and wings however were very good, especially the wings. But I was very disappointed in the pizza because that's what I was most excited for, and it does have the word "Pizza" in its title name. I can't speak so much for the service because I did not eat inside of the establishment, but I would go back and try other menu items since the wings were solid read more

Ordered the mozzarella sticks and a pesto pizza (added sausage). The sticks tasted like they were cooked in bad or old oil. No seasoning to them. Bland. The pizza was a half one; added sausage to it. It looked like they cut a whole already made pesto pizza in half and throw on sausage. Can't say much about the pesto because the sausage was so spicy, it took over! I love spicy but I also love their pesto sauce and would have loved to enjoy both. The pizza was definitely old. The cheese wasn't hot. Crust was lukewarm. Funny thing is the only thing hot in the order was the side of sauce that came with the mozzarella sticks. Could see the steam coming from it when we opened the container. It was great! Too bad the rest of the food wasn't hit. It's disappointing because our family found UPC during the pandemic; back when you had to text a number to order a pizza and show up at a bar in Highlandtown. It was special! Pizza was hot and fresh. This is the 3rd time we've had an issue with quality when ordering delivery and it might be our last... read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally went as I was craving some pizza. First off, the pizza is very expensive for a fast-casual establishment. Half a pie, or four slices cost me almost $18. Secondly, the pizza was good but honestly was not even remotely worth the money. It was super soggy, had way too much cheese, and not enough sauce for a margherita pizza. Lastly, I asked for a cup of marinara sauce and one of the employees kindly told me it would cost $2. Absolutely ridiculous. The best thing about this place is the service. They were very kind and patient with us. I'm honestly disappointed but I would be willing to give it one more chance if i'm ever in the mood for some detroit style pizza. read more

I lived in Towson for years and I'm so upset I am just finding this pizza place. I am very picky about my pizza and this place is amazing. The bread is fluffy but doesn't seem like excessive crust. The curly pepperoni is by far superior to any others and they did not short you on the sauce or the cheese. I am also dairy free and the vegan cheese was not an extra charge which was the best thing ever. The price is a bit higher than another place but it is worth it. The staff was nice and I ordered ahead and it was ready right on time. I highly recommend going uptown to try this place!! read more

Hmmmm. So I read the reviews and I was soooo excited to try this. However. I'm so disappointed. I ordered lunch for my team and I thought that since I was ordering salad and Al's that 1/2 would be enough. Especially since the 1/2 cost 16.50. When it arrived, it was 4 smallish slices of pizza FOR 16.50!!!! So the owner has responded and for context. This is 4 slices. With no meat or veggies of any kind- it is deep dish and quite frankly- only marginally better than Pizza Hut. I spent 100 on 2 salads, 2 ordered of mozz sticks and 4 slices of pizza. If I want deep dish I'll go elsewhere. Too expensive and there are too many other options for similar meal. read more

Underground Pizza - Towson - This is 1/2 a pie. - Pizza Near Me - Towson, Maryland

First time trying Underground pizza. This is the best pizza in town. We actually have had original Detroit style pizza from Buddys in Michigan and this is better. Yes it is expensive, but it's worth paying for. My wife must have gluten free pizza due to being gluten intolerance. The gentleman behind the counter was a huge assistance in navigating the menu. He even offered us a cold ice water while we waited for our carry out order. We have tried several other gluten free pizzas, but they were not totally gluten free and my wife had a reaction, even though they advertised gluten free. We will definitely be back again. Thanks for a great pizza. read more

The pizza is great- no argument there. The delivery system here is absolutely atrocious. The order always misses something, it frequently takes 1.5 hours to receive your order even if you live only two miles away. You're a pizza place- reliable delivery is a must, particularly if your storefront doesn't have decent ambiance. read more

Stopped in with a coworker for lunch and waited 45 minutes after ordering and finally walked out without lunch. However, They gave me a refund and so I felt like I would try it again but this time ordered ahead. Glad I did. The pizza was excellent and unique. Definitely a bit heavy but incredible flavor. It reminded me of focaccia but as pizza. Never been to Detroit but man they make a great pie. The guy behind the counter today was also super nice. 5 stars. read more

They had a deal $10 for a half dine in only so we checked it out. The location is a little hidden and the indoor seating is a little small. The food took a long time to come out, but was delicious. It wasn't hot when it came out but it was warm. For the wait you'd think it would be piping hot. The server was kind but seemed to be the only person here so wasn't very present. I would recommend for carry out since the food is worth it but dinning in is a hassle. read more

I can't believe I spent almost $50 for this "deep dish" pizza. Greasy and flat. I didn't know pizza could be inedible. Edited to respond to owner. No, it does not just look like that. I've ordered this same item from the downtown Baltimore location twice and it did not look undercooked and greasy. Owner takes no responsibility for poor quality control and uses Yelp reviews to double down and bully customers. I got this response less than 5 minutes from when I posted my review and all negative reviews have paragraphs long responses just negating their experiences. The definition of poor customer service and management. read more
