Their Monday special is a large for the price of a small and requires that you purchase a beverage. It's great that they let you do a 50/50 split for the specialty toppings! We did half trainwreck and half Pepe Martinez. Trainwreck is quite bland. Pepe Martinez was good. Service could be better. They don't serve you if you're seated outside (even if it's terrific weather) and you have to wait about 10min to place an order inside despite them not being busy. read more

Tucked away in the heart of Fells Point, this quirky little pizza spot oozes old-school charm. There's even a skeeball machine in the corner that adds to the fun vibe. The staff is super friendly and quick with solid recommendations, and the menu has something for everyone (plenty of vegan options too!). Parking can be a bit of a hunt since it's right on the main road, but it's worth the patience once you're inside. I went with the classic pepperoni pizza. It was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot. Prices are fair for the area, and I'm already planning to come back to try a few more pies. read more

I went back after a year and forgot how much I loved this place. It was busy on a rainy Tuesday night. We shared two large pizzas and the staff are so friendly. We got the margarita and the bacon, jalapeño, pineapple which really hit the spot. It's divy, and the drinks are semi cheap. The bathroom is an all black brick with tons of graffiti (it is odd that it's so close to the bar). A staple in the city. They have a great pizza promo on Mondays! I was sad to see they didn't carry suspension brewing yet but they do a mystery beer pour! read more

Really awesome bar with great pizza! We stopped in on a Friday night and loved the vibe right away. They have a huge selection of drinks and a menu full of tempting options. I ordered their most popular pizza (wish I could remember the name!)--it was delicious with bold flavors and a perfect crust. I also really appreciated the vegan options. My husband usually can't enjoy mozzarella sticks, but here they serve them with vegan cheese, and he loved them! The breading was perfectly crispy. He also got the cheesesteak, which was super tasty and satisfying. Service was great--our food came out quickly and our waitress was very attentive. This place is perfect for a casual night out or a quick bite. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I came here on a Thursday night for the first time and it wasn't what I expected. My friends have come here several times and enjoyed but I ended up not feeling the same way after. This is a dive bar + pizza place + (teeny tiny) arcade w/ 2 skeeball machines + 1 pinball machine. As it's in Fells Point, parking is challenging per usual. There are free street parking spots as well as metered parking spots nearby but you have to be lucky to grab any close by. There is a step by the front door with no visible ramp so if you have accessibility issues, please be aware. Trainwreck pizza 2.5/5, I came wanting a veggie pizza and this was the closest I could find to order. Firstly; there are so few veggies on this that I would not call this a veggie pizza. Secondly, considering how few veggies there are + the lack of complete coverage of the cheese onto the pizza, leaving large tomato sauce spots uncovered with neither cheese nor veggies; I consider the price point from here wildly inflated. I was disappointed after having my pizza as it wasn't what I wanted and I have been craving pizza for a month and wanted to try out a new place but this really just did not do it for me sadly read more

This place is great for some casual food and drinks with friends. I split a 16" pie with a friend and it was sooo much food but we killed it. Pizza itself was alright, but the real magic of the establishment is their $4 wild card beers. I went during a rush so I had to flag down waiters for additional rounds, but they were all super quick to grab more. Definitely coming back! read more

Came by on a Friday night without a reservation around 8pm and we were able to get a table in the back room quickly. Service was efficient and our order arrived very quickly. We really enjoyed the Pepe Martinez pizza, although the black pepper was a surprising addition. The crust was perfectly thin and we all loved the sauce and pepperonis. Their nitro sangria was fun, but not a particularly standout drink. The only downside to our visit was that the skee ball in the back room was so loud that it was impossible to maintain a conversation while another group was playing. read more

Johnny Rad's has some of the best dive bar food around! I was skeptical about the pizza and I am glad to be wrong about it- they do it so well!

We sat outside on a beautiful day. I must say there were minimal bugs which is always a plus. The seating outside was nothing fancy but at least it was available as the inside looked a little dark. Unfortunately the bartender was the server and as far as I know, there was only one. She absolutely did her best but staffing was definitely an issue. The food itself was pretty good. I had pizza was I couldn't stop eating. The cheese bread was really good too. The risotto balls were really crispy and were really tasty when I duped them in the mozzarella sauce. Overall good food and I would come back. I'm just more likely to do takeout next time. read more

We love Rad's!! The food is bomb and the service is stellar. We love sitting out front on the picnic tables or just at the bar. The cheese sticks are my fave and I would recommend doing them with ranch. The pizzas are great to split and the cheesesteak is also another fan favorite from us. Cheers! See you soon! read more

As someone from Jersey and a high bar for pizza, they have a good slice here. Split the pepperoni with hot honey and it did not disappoint. The crust was good and held up the toppings well. The pepperoni and hot honey combo was spectacular. The service was super friendly and had a really good vibe. The restaurant itself had a great and chill atmosphere. Would love to come back to hang and try more of the food! read more

One of my favorite things about this place is the skeeball machines!! I also think the cocktails and options for drinks are fun and delicious. As a gluten-free diner, eating here is not super ideal, as they don't offer gluten-free crust like most other pizza places. I've primarily eaten salads or burgers with no bun - I've also risked it with cross contamination by eating the fries (which I think may be fried in the same fryer as other gluten items). I attached photos of my friend's pizza though, which looked visually appealing! read more

Cozy gem of a spot! The pizza is absolutely delicious and the service is top-notch. Can't wait to go back!

when I was first visiting Baltimore, before I move, some future colleagues brought me to Johnny rads. It's solely one of the best pizza places in the city, with a broad selection of absolutely awesome beer. It's got a bit of a punk rock vibe, without the sensation of feeling out of place without a Elmers School glue supported Mohawk. Welcoming to everyone, read more

If you haven't gotten pizza at this place yet, you haven't had the best pizza in Baltimore. No, I will not be taking any questions. Lol no really this is the best pizza I've ever had in the city hands down. They have picnic tables outside for when the weather is nice and arcade games in the back while you wait...or after you're done eating. The only thing I don't like is finding parking in this area. Took me just as long to find parking as it did to get there. Doesn't matter though, I'll be back. read more

Finally getting here on a Friday. They had some traffic around 5 but it was light with a couple of tables full. Dimly lit and a narrow space with more seating (and some arcade video games) in the back. Liked the bar area and they also had a few tables outside. Ordered for pickup and online process was seamless and our order was ready as promised. First, they have a long list of sauces (including vegan options) which was a nice touch. Rad's sauce and Chipotle Mayo were our favorites . The Risotto Balls app was very good. Just right crispy filled with cheesy rice (featured on DDD). When I picked up our two 16" inch pizza boxes, I couldn't believe how light they were. Their crust is on the thinner side and airy which balances well with the toppings. The Pepe Martinez (we added sausage which gave it a spicy kick) was delicious! The Trainwreck (also featured on DDD) was very good. Fresh veggies and mozzarella made for a light pie. Thee Burger was cooked to our temp order which was a pleasant surprise. Tasty beef with generous toppings (added cheddar cheese.) I'm going to say this is one of the best burgers I've had in the Bmore area! (Under the radar as there isn't a pic of this amazing burger on their Yelp site until now) The Cheesesteak was also enjoyed. Service was friendly and fast at pickup. Will be back for dine-in-Looks like a great spot for a beer/cocktail. This spot is known for their pizzas and vegan options but Thee Burger shouldn't be missed! A DDD favorite that lives up to the hype! read more

I look forward to trying more veggie and vegan options soon! read more

Johnny Rad's is killing the game! I visited with my cousin as her mother in law (vegan for years) recommended for me to try this place out. The waitress we had was absolutely amazing, I wish I got her name. She checked up on us multiple times and suggested things that I wouldn't have known. For an appetizer, I HAD to order the buffalo chick'n nuggets which came with a vegan blue cheese and vegan ranch. I AM OBSESSED. I've had my fair share of vegan chick'n nuggets and the buffalo definitely brings it up a notch! For my entrée, I ordered the vegan cheesesteak with french fries. Again, killing the game! It was seasoned perfectly and the fries were nice and crispy. My cousin loved her pepperoni pizza. To pay, you can do so with the waiter or you can pay by scanning the QR code on the receipt. I love when establishments have that option so you don't have to wait. We were so pleased with the food, service and ambiance so when I visit the area again, I have to come back! read more

Went to this place off of the recommendation of a Baltimore native. He was impressed because Guy from Drivers, Dine Ins and Dives featured this restaurant. It is a dive. And the food is FANTASTIC!

Rads is my favorite pizza spot in Baltimore. I've never had a bad meal here and the staff is both very efficient, but also very personable. During a slow afternoon I once had a 30 minute conversation with the bartender about local haunted houses. It also has two skeeball machines in the back room, so bring your crisp dollar bills and challenge your friends to a game while you wait for your pizza. The pizza is superb. It is super thin crust, Neapolitan style, so a 12 inch looks huge, but a very hungry person could finish it easily. The El Gato is a white pizza that comes smothered in roasted garlic with lumps of ricotta and Fresh basil leaves. It will make your breath scary, but is totally worth the sacrifice. They also have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options here. I don't know what they do to the fake meat products, but they are way, way better than what you can buy at the supermarket. Even my meat eating friends will eat the vegan meatball sub. Also, be sure not to miss the salted caramel bread pudding. You'll be way too full to eat it after a meal here, but it makes a great breakfast the next day. read more

I came here with a few friends for dinner and was so impressed by the amount of vegan options! They had a fairly decent draft list, so I got an IPA to drink. To eat, I got the Vegan Meatball & Cheese Sub and subbed fries for chips. The meatballs were delicious, and the whole sub was super filling. I only ate half and was able to save half for lunch the next day. I will definitely be adding Johnny Rad's to my regular rotation! read more

I'm updating my review because after going here for Vegan Restaurant week, I can say that I had the best vegan pizza I have ever had! Not that I have had that many, but the "cheese" and the "ricotta" on this pizza tasted no different than if I weren't eating a vegan pizza! I wish the pizza I got was a permanent item on the menu, not just a special! The ricotta was so creamy, I couldn't even tell it wasn't real ricotta! The consistency was spot on! We also ordered non-vegan appetizers: the risotto balls and cheese sticks. I can see why the risotto balls were featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives because it was way better than I expected it to be. The marinara sauce it's offered with is a little thinner than normal marinara sauce, but it had some spicy kick to it and I loved it! I normally am not a fan of dipping anything in marinara sauce, but this one I couldn't get enough of. The only mediocre part of our meal were the cheese sticks. It sounded so good on the menu because I LOVE garlic, but I didn't even really taste the garlic and one end piece wasn't even worth eating because it was all bread, no cheese, and too hard. I would skip this appetizer next time and just get the risotto balls. Trust me -- you won't regret it. Anyway, this place has earned 5 stars for the amazing vegan options. I think I would get one of the vegan pizzas anytime I go here going forward -- it was that good! read more

I felt misled by the vegan tenders which were described to be "large" and "5 pieces". My order was wrong-- not sure who to contact as I only received 4 pieces total. I've attached a picture below. I paid about $18 for this serving, don't think I'd come back to justify this price. Hoping this can be reconciled. read more

Got the cheesesteak with fries and pepe pizza. Love the cheesesteak! Good value with decent amount of meat. Everything was light even though you'd think it'd be very heavy. The sauces were also light and savory. The pizza was decent, but will definitely come back for the cheesesteak read more
