This locally owned and operated pizza place located in Baltimore, Maryland between Little Italy and Harbor East has only been open a few years, but the lunch traffic is tremendous. They have seats inside and out, and the interior is very spacious.
I ordered garlic bread and a small Regular Cheese 10” pizza. First the garlic bread came which must have been the worst I have ever had. It was rustic bread very lightly toasted with smashed garlic chunks and a little melted cheese on top. They didn’t seem to put much thought into the garlic bread because one side was not toasted at all and the other was barely toasted. You would think that they would at least put the garlic and cheese on the toasted side and not on the untoasted side but they didn’t. Also, the garlic cloves were still in pretty big chunks and even though I love garlic, eating chunks of garlic cloves is not a pleasant experience. I definitely would not order the garlic bread again.
Bagby makes their pizza dough from scratch daily, and it is light and crisp. The pizza is baked using a Brick Oven and the pizza arrives on a silver pizza plate. Looking at the pizza, you wonder how they can make it so thin and it not break. Unlike some brickoven pizzas, this pizza is not burned at the bottom and separates easily from the other slices without cheese stringing along. The pizza had a delicious taste and is worth the 4 block walk into Little Italy from where I was staying. The pizza had a little of it’s own unique blend and you can taste a bit of the oregano when you take a bite. They use very light sauce which is how I like it. Some pizza places use thick and chunky tomato sauce which I believe takes away from the taste. The pizza had a crispy crunchy crust which is cracker like, holding the pizza is a bit of a challenge because of the thinness of the slices. This is not your typical NY style large slice that you can fold in half, any attempt to fold the pizza and parts of the crust cracks into pieces.
In all, this is a good place to get a pizza in the downtown area of Baltimore, MD.
