There was a time, many moons ago, when BOP was some of the best pizza in the city.

Thank the gods we have moved far past those dark days.

I remember loving it like 20 years ago. Has it gotten worst or did I just have no sense back then?

I always loved BOP pizza because my whole crew would always be super duper wasted by the time we ended up there. I have great memories of their pizza.

I always went to BOP after visiting The Sound Garden and Karmic Connection, before I lived in Bmore. I’m not sure which of those that I’m more surprised is still open.

While I wouldn’t say Baltimore has awesome pizza options, there are plenty much better than BOP.

If you're lazy like me and don't want to go searching, I'll give you a few of my faves.
Ribaldis
Paulie Gee's
Tutti Gusti
Joe Squared
Homeslyce (not my personal fave but it is popular)
Johnny Rads
Pub Dog (pizza isn't anything to write home about but they brew their own beer and its a fun experience overall)

I’ll add that Verde is excellent but only if you eat it there. It must be eaten within 5 minutes of coming out of the oven or it goes from incredible to garbage.

And Paulie Gee’s deck oven pizza is better than their brick oven pizza. Unpopular opinion? Maybe.

Hersh’s in Riverside/Fed Hill great but pricey.

I don’t recognize Underground as Pizza but some people do. It’s good but it’s definitely more of a saucy focaccia.

Facts.

I'll eat their brick oven if I'm sitting back in the bar, but the deck pizza is a winner.

The person I asked seemed to be versed in Baltimore pizza. Call that part of the search. 😀 Johnny Rads has been a fav since 2011. I'm glad to hear they're still at it. I need to get over that way again.

  • Paulie Gee’s (Hampden)
  • Angeli’s (Little Italy)
  • Homeslyce (They deliver pizza and beer!)
  • Ribaldi’s (Hampden)
  • JBGB (Remington)

Zella’s 🙌 Also, the meatballs are fucking fire.

There are several threads in this sub where people list a lot of good spots. I'm probably less experienced than most of the regular contributors here when it comes to pizza but my recent favorites have been Angeli's, Isabella's, and Tutti Gusti.
