    Stopped in this past Friday evening for a quick bite to eat and I'm glad we did. We kinda it there on the later end of the evening since the kitchen closes at 11pm. So we grabbed two 10 inch pizzas, the meat classic and the spinach and artichoke. Both pizzas were really delicious. Also the service was prompt and courteous. Definitely will be back. If you're in the Hollins Market section of town, make sure you stop in Zella's for pizza and other items. There sandwiches are good as well

    Takeout Night Win! It was takeout night and my family was craving pizza but definitely not the commercial chains like Pizza Hut or Papa John's. We wanted something local and full of flavor, so we gave Zella's a try, and they did not disappoint! I ordered the 10" beef pepperoni pizza with a side Caesar salad, and everything was delicious. The pizza had a perfect crust crispy on the outside and soft in the middle with just the right amount of sauce and generous beef pepperoni. You can really taste the difference in quality and freshness. My husband and son went with the traditional pepperoni, and they both loved it. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the pepperoni had that just-right crisp on the edges. The Caesar salad was also a great complement fresh, crisp, and well-dressed without being soggy. Highly recommend Zella's if you're looking to upgrade pizza night with something local and full of flavor.

    Sausage and mushroom pizza

    We tried this spot for delivery since we got a menu from them in our apartment complex. We ordered a pizza with mushroom and sausage and old bay wings. Food came quickly and was nice and hot. The wings were a good size and very tender, fall off the bone. Not super crispy, but that's to be expected for takeout. The pizza was also good. The crust was airy with a nice chew, cheese and sauce were tasty and toppings nicely distributed. Overall, this was a solid pizza spot and I'd order from here again.

    Decent pizza spot with affordable prices. One time I ordered my pizza on the phone for take-out and when I came in to pick it up, I saw they had a carry-out special ($11 for a large 1-topping pizza). Would have been nice if they mentioned that over the phone. The next time I used their carry-out special offer and ordered sun-dried tomatoes on my pizza. Unfortunately, the sun-dried tomatoes were burnt.... I am willing to give them another chance due to their affordable prices. They have ample seating inside, including a bar area. There is limited street parking as well.

    Such a nice gem in the HEART of Hollins area! With it being in such an art driven area , the interior is perfect laid out in an Art Gallery Pub style!! The menu covers a variety of beers, starters, meals, salads and pizza! We kept it light with a Caesar salad, fries and two beers! My wife and I stopped in during an impromptu Motor scooter ride through the city and the vibe was so chill and welcoming! All the staff were awesome and food was perfect! Visit for great city art views and cute quiet place to get a good bite to eat and cold brew probably made right here in Baltimore

    Been trying to look for a pizza place around the area -- this is by far the BEST pizza I've ever had!!! Atmosphere, staff and service was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. Pizza is QUALITY and definitely worth every penny. Was very satisfied when we received our pizza. Temperature was nice a hot and the cheese pull was incredible.

    Wanted to try a new pizza spot in the city and coming from New Jersey, I haven't been impressed with too many places here. This pie was pretty good! I would like to also try their thin crust.

    Definitely recommends ! First time here and I don t have not one bad thing to say . The location was great , parking wasn't has much of a hassle I thought it would be for street parking , the place was clean all around in the inside . Our bartender was great. He was nice , an attentive . The wait between or drinks and pizza was slim to none. The pizza was fresh hot and the honey old bay wings were everything!

    Delicious and affordable. I ordered pick up and it's located in a cute area. Staff were friendly. I'll be back!

    This a a cozy neighborhood pizzeria. I recommend parking your car in the neighborhood or leaving it home and walking the neighborhood. The neighborhood historic and quint. The owner and patrons are very welcoming. I prefer to sit, eat in, and enjoy the atmosphere; but they do offer carry out. I've eaten here a few times and the food is delicious.

The octopus was grilled perfectly and tender and the bean puree and potato paired nicely. The pasta was umami and not too tomatoey or acidic. My pound cake was tasty with the tanginess of the curd pairing well with the whipped cream.

Dalesios of Little Italy has been open since 1984 and has been serving great Italian dishes in the heart of Baltimore's Little Italy. Walking inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. It screams old world, European charm with it's unique art adorning the walls. I'm seated in the first dining room, closest to the front door. There's a bar inside this room which adds to the Italian decor. First time here, I don't know the restaurants portion sizes. Is it family style where one plate can feed a small army? The portion size was perfect. I ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and the Scampi & Crab Alla Sardegna. The pasta dish was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfect al dente and the Scampi & Crab sauce was something unique to Baltimore. It's Crab & Shrimp simmered in a cognac, garlic & tomato cream sauce. All of this goodness is served over linguine. I love Maryland Crabs and to have them topped in a pasta dish makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this dish.
