    The crust on this pizza is amazing! It's perfectly fired. Drizzled some hot honey on it and it was... chef's kiss!

    Definitely a spot to check out, guys. My dining partner and I really enjoyed the mushroom pizza with cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, mozzarella, arugula, parmesan, olive oil. The sparse interior lends itself to an interesting organic meets industrial feel which is pretty interesting, but that doesn't have anything to do with the delicious pizza. Great service too, by the way.

    We were craving pizza, but didn't want standard chain pizza. After a quick search, we decided on giving Baltoz Bakery & Café a go. Turns out, this hidden gem is one block up from one of my favorite ice cream places (The Creamery) on York Road. Easy peasy. Upon entering, granted it was close to closing, the interior is quite sparse. Not sure how long they've been there but it's a very clean space. The people that work there are young, but they came across pretty proficient at what they were doing. The young lady that helped us answered all our questions and made some good recommendations. We opted for the following: CHEESE SICILIAN SLICE: I was so happy to have a slice of Sicilian. As a native NYer, coming across a place that has a 'good' Sicilian slice down here in the DMV, has been quite a rarity. Baltoz did not disappoint. Thick slice. The naturally made sauce with fresh tomatoes had great flavor, delicious stringy mozzarella, and basil leaves. SCORE!! MUSHROOM PIZZA: We decided to split a Mushroom Pizza - made w/ Tomato (or cream available) sauce, mozzarella, a WONDERFUL MUSHROOM MEDLEY of [cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms], a healthy serving of arugula, chive, parmesan and EVOO (olive oil). The crust was a perfect brick oven pizza crust. The fold-ability was NY-worthy (lol - ya GOTTA fold the slice to eat it right!). For a meatless pizza, the Mushroom was satisfying and filling. TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!! Definitely a 'repeat' is needed... and soon!

    We were recommended to try Baltoz and it did not disappoint. My husband is a self proclaimed pizza critic being from NYC and he really enjoyed their pizza. We ordered the spicy pepperoni and it was delicious! He already said he wants to try another pie next week lol I ordered ahead on the website for pickup, it took about 20 minutes to be ready. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. It's a very chill, quiet place. In addition to the varying pizza pies, they have Sicilian slices, fresh cookies and fresh bread for purchase as well.

    Ordered the mushroom pizza and it was spectacular. Got the tomato base this trip but will be trying the cream sauce base AND the spicy margarita pizza. Nice ambiance. Pizza ready exactly on time. Will be returning.

    This is one of the best pizza places in Baltimore without a doubt. The pizza has incredible sauce and flavor, and always has a crispy undercarriage. You pick up the slice and it doesn't droop down. The dough is amazing and my favorite is their hot honey pepperoni. Takeout is best, but they do have seating inside and out.

    A newer spot that was featured on one of the local food IG sites. Interesting they open at 4:30 given they are partially billed as a Bakery. Small spot and basically it's pickup or delivery only for now as I didn't see any tables inside. You get a wood fire burning aroma when you walk in which was cool and unexpected. Wasn't sure what to order and couldn't tell what size the pizza was from the website (comes in one size only option) Turned out to be 16 inch pies. Ordered a Supreme and we loved it! Thinner crust so you get the slight sour dough taste, generous portions of spicy cup pepp and house sausage were tasty and played nicely with the roasted peppers. They had Sicilian style slices which reminded me of some of the pizza spots in NYC. Pepperoni, Arrabbiata and Plain (Margherita). With the thicker crust, you definitely get that tangy sourdough taste. We enjoyed all three. Also, saw some pastries (sweet/savory), cookies and Bread. Got the Chocolate as well Cinnamon Cardamom Babkas. I'm usually a Chocolate only Babka fan but their Cinnamon/Cardamom stole the show. I saw a sea salt chocolate cookie that looked enticing-next time. As other Yelpers have written, you can order online before they open at 4:30 (not sure how much before opening they take orders). On a Friday, I ordered our pizza at 4 and the pick up time was 5:55 and was actually ready at 5:45. Service was upbeat and engaged. They were busy with some customers waiting and a young lady was hustling with a smile to take care of her customers. We will be back!

    The Vegan Pizza
    Joel H.

    I first noticed Baltoz Bakery and Cafe during one of our visits to the Charmery. The building was empty but looked like it was in the process of coming. Over the next couple months I began following their Instagram account and came across an article about the owner and his sourdough pizza recipes. All of this just hyped the place even more. But the limited hours and Mondays and Tuesdays being closed made it difficult to get there (I completely understand though, it is one man doing all the pastries and pizzas as far as I can tell). Finally, after a Sunday afternoon birthday party in a neighboring establishment, we were in the area during their open hours. The door says Baltoz opens at 4:00. It was probably 4:03 when we left the party and pulled on their door. Locked. Drat! Foiled again. We started to leave when the woman running the checkout area rushed over and unlocked it. She apologized and escorted us in. That smell! We were greeted with the smell of fresh baked sourdough. Around the register were loaves of bread and pastries. While we were really there to try the pizza, my family couldn't resist the baked goods and bread. So we left with some of those as well. As far as pizza goes, I ordered the vegan pizza on the menu, my kids got a cheese one and my wife ordered the sweet corn and cherry tomato. We were informed that it would be 20-30 minutes so we left to do some grocery shopping. We returned 30 minutes later and the pizzas were not yet done. It was an additional five to ten minutes before our order was up. Problematic? Maybe. But someone at Baltoz snuck an extra pastry into our box, I can only imagine as compensation for the wait. The vegan pizza consists of Tuscan white bean sauce, roasted red pepper and walnut pesto, zucchini, peppers, onion, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and thyme. This isn't your standard vegan cheese, sauce or vegan meat pizza. These items were specially grouped together because of how they enhance and contrast each other. Paired with the sourdough crust, this was an excellent pizza. The corn and tomato pizza consists of cream of sweet corn sauce, fresh and low mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, basil and olive oil. The ingredients in this one were also selected because of how they fit together. My wife had the same reaction I did. It was an excellent pizza. My kids weren't really into their cheese pizza. I contribute this to the fact that they aren't super adventurous. They are happy with chain pizza places. Baltoz's is not cheap. We left with a bill that was very large. But good sourdough takes time. I felt with the amount of food we got, the size of those products and the time and effort put in to making them, the price made sense. You will find cheaper elsewhere. You won't necessarily find better. The pastries and sourdough were excellent. The pizzas, great! Because of how good the product is, Baltoz's has earned five stars even though there are/were some kinks to be worked out.

I was hoping to park on the street to run in but ended up driving around for 10+ minutes before ending up in the lot. Turns out my parking was free so it worked out just fine. For the food, I got the cheese pizza with prosciutto and the mango habanero wings. The pizza was fantastic, and I really liked that you can order a half portion which was great for 2 people. The crust was crispy, and the cheese and sauce were great, and it was packed with prosciutto. The wings were also great, I loved the sauce and the sesame seeds on some of them which was a fun twist.

Parking anywhere downtown especially the inner harbor on the street is very limited; and the parking garages are insane at times. I found parking and made way to this establishment at the Power Plant. There was a Flippino festival going on at Power Plant as well. When we entered the establishment, we were immediately seated. Seating is only at high tops or the bar. We started off with a couple drinks, old bay wings and cheesesteak sliders. The drinks were ok, not 5 star rating. The cheesesteak sliders were okay as well. We ordered Old bay fries which came out great. After digesting the wings, sliders and fries we ordered the Peppers and Onions pizza with added spinach. The pizza came out very light. Ive had this pizza previously and it was toasted and not doughy. There was very little cheese. The pizza disappointed. So after all, I was very disappointed with the choice of this establishment today. Absolutely nothing but the friendly attentive staff was a plus. The staff were beyond attentive. It could be a bad day but definitely not good since I havent been here in about 3 plus years. The prices has increased tremendously as well. I wouldnt say not to go but based on today, I would be skeptical to return again for myself in the future.

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!

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.

I could have had it as a meal. It had a generous amount of plums, barrata and prosciutto. The pizza had a perfect hand tossed crust. The toppings were also great. I should have asked for some red pepper flakes but that was my fault. The Frito misto was not my favorite. The breading seemed fresh which is good. I liked the shrimp better than the calamari. We didn't get to try dessert because we were about to explode. I can't wait to go back and explore more on the menu.
