Let me start by saying what fond memories I have of this place. I went to Baltimore to see my old Uni Goucher, and stopping by Pasta Mista is a ritual for my friends and I. The place has gotten far bigger than I remember it, but the taste is always out of this world. I heard they opened up another one in Canton in the city - lucky lucky Baltimore. I usually roll with the gnocchi, but at the time I was feeling the chicken parm pizza and a slice of the ol' standby ... plain cheese. It is an epic journey each time, and simply delicious. I live in NYC, there's good pizza here clearly, but for me and maybe it is a dash of nostalgia, but Mista pizza will always be the best. Can't wait for the next time I come to visit! read more

The eggplant parm with spaghetti (magnificent I just like adding red pepper flakes) and the pizza is yum!!!! (:

I was in the mood for Tortellini and decided to get take-out here. I asked the employee at the register which sauce he recommended and so tried the pink sauce. Excellent dish! Flavorful tri-color cheese tortellini, creamy and luscious sauce I also soaked my bread in. Very filling size so I was okay with the $10.95 price. Good rectangle tupperware that never leaked. read more

This pizza made me never want to eat a Domino's, Papa Johns, or Pizza Hut pizza ever again. That being said, this location is always busy, especially when school is in session. The pasta is great here, and the prices are spot on. read more

Great pizza in Towson, and a variety to choose from as well. I have also had an overstuffed italian cold cut sub which was pretty decent. Place is very small though and you may not have a place to sit down if you're wanting to eat in. read more

I've been to this Towson location on 3 occasions and I noticed the kids working were very unprofessional and some were even rude to other patrons. One woman was about to curse out one of the workers but she just left instead. My food is good, but the service is shitty. The other locations are fine with good customer service. read more

Good pizza and pasta. Unfortunately last night when I was there, it was obviously that 2 of the 3 young people at the cash register were making fun of the customers. Very high school. Reluctant to return. read more

Simply Amazing I seem not to strike out thanks to Yelp, this place has great pizza. Not alot of seating but enough and its kid friendly, great staff and worth the drive if you dont live in towson. read more

I love the pizza here. They offer a good variety of specialty slices as well as your typical cheese / pepperoni. My favorite are the chicken pesto and chicken buffalo. The sauce is so good and the crust is nice and thin, how I prefer it. The wait isn't usually too long, it just depends on how busy they are but it's always worth it. And they're always friendly! I just wish they delivered. read more

Pasta Mista - chicken buffalo pizza - Italian Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Being from the NJ/NY area, this pizza place is the best you'll get away from home. One of the few places in the Baltimore area where you can order take out by the slice, Pasta Mista also offers specialty pies. However, they definitely charge way to much per slice for any type. Tomato sauce on the pizza is pretty good too. Key ingredient for pizza that a lot of places neglect. Great place, good pizza, and they're pretty efficient. This will be my go to pizza place while I live in Baltimore for the next couple of years. read more

Great pizza and fresh salad! The staff is also very friendly and helped me make a selection. The people look happy to work there so that says a lot about ownership too. Prices were very reasonable too. They have a Wide selection of pizza too. read more

Pasta Mista - Pizza and salad! - Italian Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Food is just ok. Nothing great about it. We had the pizza and the dough and crust could be better. The chicken park was bland. We are foodies so consider that when reading. If you just want cheap food then go here. If you want food that makes your taste buds soar keep looking. read more

Good food. Seen a lot of ppl in the business before. We ordered cheesesteaks and a large cheese pizza. We're used to philly cheesesteaks and the size is a big steak. Here, the entire size of a cheesesteak is a half of what we're used to. Because of that we will always frown when it comes to steaks down here. With that being the cheesesteak is good. Its half the price we're used to also, so essentially its worth the price (about $6). The pizza is also good. They have great cheese and sauce. The crust could be a little thinner with a crunch, but still good. All in all i think i found my new cheesesteak and pizza spot. Oh the large pizza is about $12. Thats a little pricey for a cheese pizza but this is like a mom n pop shop so it should be expected somewhat. They honestly would have gotten 5 stars but the cheesesteak issue i can't look pst and having to recut my pizza before eating to avoid making a mess read more

VERY good imitation of New York Style pizza. I've been there alone once and was so impressed that I came back a few days later with my wife. She was equally impressed. Taking the wife and kids tonight to the Timonium location to see if it measures up. Great pizza. Great prices. Great atmoshphere. Great staff. Great experience. 2 thumbs up! read more

Delicious pizza with a nice variety of topping combos. We enjoy the chicken parm & chicken caesar pizzas most! Also love the tomato breadsticks! The boccelli salad is a tasty meal by itself - lots of veggies, grilled chicken & fresh greens with the house vinaigrette, which is quite tasty. The subs & pasta are good too, just a bit too saucy in my opinion. Plus the subs are fairly small for the price (they don't offer size options). Service is always very quick & super friendly! I wish they delivered - we'd order from there much more often! read more

It's completely ridiculous to change one's business practice due to service levels being high. One of the reasons so many frequent this establishment is because they can get one slice at a time. To be told on a Saturday night that you cannot order a single slice of cheese pizza because the location is busy seems absurd. Will be taking my business elsewhere for a while. read more

Best pizza place in Towson. Fast. Delicious. Friendly. Not much you can ask for when you need a pizza. Did I mention the slices are HUGE?!?! They are! So start with one slice and go from there. Thier past dishes are equally as good and they don't skimp on the serving size. Be prepared to wait a few minutes as everything is served fresh to order. read more

This is the BEST pizza in Towson, hands down. As an NJ native, I can say this pizza is the real thing. Their specialty pies are amazing- perfect dough to sauce ratio. Friendly staff too! read more

WOW, I get great Italian food each time I go to this place. Great pizza, pasta, bread-sticks. This restaurant may have the best Italian food outside of Baltimore Little Italy. But, def the best in the county. read more

I got their mozzarella sticks and they literally taste the same as Towson University's. There's nothing special about this place at all and it's not very good. read more

Literally just asked for a mushroom and pepperoni pizza slice. Got a slice of warmed up pepperoni Za with mushrooms dumped on it. The mushrooms were discolored (oddly yellow) and not even melted into the pizza. Literally just... sitting. On. Top. I lifted the slice and it sloughed off. read more

Oh mannnn the pizza are amazing. The cheese on them aren't your usual. They taste soooo goood!

I grew up in the area, so I've tried a lot of different pizza joints in Towson, and Pasta Mista remains our go-to. They are pretty consistent in their quality; only a few times they've been off their game (eg, toppings aren't distributed well). We get a carry out pizza weekly and it's always delicious, even as leftovers! They have some great specialty pizzas, like Chicken Ranch. read more

Simply the best of the best around here. The place is simple, but that's ok when you have super great food. For pizza there's no where better for many miles. read more

This is the first time I have had Pasta Mists. I was really disappointed with the garlic bread it TASTED dry and stale. and I had 93rd÷red the more expensive garlic bread. I ordered the penne and broccoli with wine and butter sauce. it also was not good. It had a sour taste. The butter did not lend a rich flavor. There were no herbs or cheese on the pasta. The marinara TASTED like it was a can of tomato sauce that had been opened and poured over the pasta. I would like to say I would order from Pasta Mista again, but I rate restaurants on the freshness of their bread. I also use whether or not they use real butter or margarine. read more

We stopped here around 5:30 on a Friday evening. My wife had eaten here while attending Towson University. I liked the idea of the variety of pizzas you could order by the slice. When we were there, it was very busy. The folks in the kitchen were hopping and it took awhile to get an empty table in the small dining area. We chose 5 slices to share. When our order was ready, we checked and they had given us two incorrect slices. We showed them the slices and receipt and they immediately heated the correct slices. They gave them to us and let us keep the incorrect ones too. So the service was pretty good for how busy they were, and they quickly fixed the mistake. The pizza slices were all just ok. The chicken bacon ranch was our favorite. The rest seemed to need a little more salt or seasoning to improve them further. They have bottles of Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and oregano to add to your pizza too. For the price and variety though, the pizza was good. This place is certainly worth trying. They have a big variety of pizzas, other foods to choose from, good service, and the prices are fair. read more

Love the pizzas here! Great value for money and incredibly flavourful. Fewer tables and it isn't a great dine in place but it's incredibly easy to grab something on the go. They have good vegetarian options to pick from. I frequent this place at least twice a month read more

Indeed the best pizza of Baltimore Area; since 2005 when i was introduced to Pasta Mista I did comparison with other places in Down Town and same in Towson- fast service and you eat crunchy, thin and crispy pizza !! The old style pizza is always the most fashioned one! read more

Wonderful creations! The staff is always so friendly and it feels like home.

Pasta Mista is great. They offer not only my favorite pizza in the state, but some very solid Italian-style entrees at a very reasonable price point. The Penne Broccoli is good, as is the Parmesan Chicken Sandwich. You really can't miss with their pizza varieties; the Gorgonzola Cheese is my personal favorite, but even the simpler cheese and/or pepperoni are good. This is NYC style pizza. A former professor (and Brooklyn native) is the person that turned me on to this joint and said it was his favorite pizza in the area. read more

Great NY style pizza! tons of different varieties; at least a dozen kinds when I was there a few weeks ago. I can eat 2 of the slices if I am starving, but 1 holds me over very well. Pizza plus root beer = the best. I had a margharita slice with tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and i had my eye on a few others. Will be back to try their pastas. Quick service and tables for sitting down. read more

My husband and I were regular customers of Pasta Mista for many years until he passed away. He always got the Meatball Sub and I would get the Chicken Salad until they discontinued it. I was hungry today and thought that I would order something from Pasta Mista and have my son pick it up. I ordered 8 Chicken Wings which was suppose to have Honey BarBQ Sauce on them. I also ordered some Mazerella Sticks. Usually, the Chicken Wings would come with Celery and Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce. Not today, they came with a packet of Ranch Dressing and NO celery. Needless to say I was terribly disappointed and probably won't order from here again in the near future. The Owners may have changed, I am not really sure but maybe that was the only reason why all of the food was different. I usually don't give bad reviews but I just can't let this experience go by without commenting. I don't want anyone to be as disappointed as I was. Hopefully, it will get better in the future, i can only hope. I don't think I will be back too soon in the near future. read more

I'm sorry but I must strongly disagree with most of these reviews. I remember the day Pasta Mista opened and those two Italian guys started making pizzas. I find it to be very authentic New York style pizza. The restaurant is clean and seems to be quite busy the times I visit. The food is fresh and tasty... read more

Yum! I can only speak to their pizzas because frankly, each time I come here they all just look so darn tasty that I hurry up, order a slice and get it in my tummy ASAP that I never even think about their other menu items. (My friends have told me their gnocchi is pretty decent.) They just do a great job with their toppings to surface area ratio, plus the crunchy yet chewy crust - it's the perfect slice of pizza in Baltimore, hands down. Oh, and if they have their Caprese Roll available, get it - you're in for a treat. read more

Damn good pizza. I was addicted to the tortellini pizza for quite some time. Probably my entire senior year actually. The place doesn't seem legit from the outside, but once you step inside and see all those yummy slice pies you know you're in a good place. The decor is pretty minimal but the pizza more than makes up for it. I had the pasta once and it wasn't so good, but defffff go for the pizza. If you're into that run of the mill, fast food Dominoes crap then don't go. Hands down, this is the best pizza place in Towson. read more

Here is the Deal. The pizza is good, but it is not NY style. I used to live in NJ. The pizza in NJ/NY is a lot better than what you can get around here. But it is the best I've had in the area and by far is better than papa johns or dominos... The subs and pasta dishes are ok. I go here all the time. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, the price is right, and generally the food is good. Recommend! read more

I love this place, it's the best pizza I've had in Towson and all the employees are friendly and patient while I take wayy to long to choose what slices I want. They have inventive slices as well as more typical ones and the best part is that I can walk there from my apartment so I feel less guilty about my pizza binges! read more

WORST PIZZA EVER. they can try to disguise it with interesting toppings as much as they want (such as caesar salad or baked penne), but its still gross. the salads aren't actually bad, and the pasta dishes are decent, but the bad pizza overshadows everything. read more

Watch out for bad customer service! Apparently if you don't put money in their tip jar, after placing an order for their carry out pizza slices, your order will likely get skipped twice, at least, in favor of other people standing in line behind you, who may have 'tipped'. Also keep in mind, I wasn't a regular customer, and it had been a relatively long time since I had been there previously. The quality of their pizza is definitely above average. Their cooked pizza though feels more like home made pizza, that one could make in their home (like Digorno frozen pizza?), instead of one you'd come across from a 'professional'. Therefore, I found it over priced. Their stuffed pizza 'slice' with mushrooms, ham and other stuff was a bit 'icky'. Their other pizza slices were definitely above average. Their pizza slices seemed to be price more fairly than their whole 15"/16" pizza. Also one of the worker, gave an attitude (a little) when he placed the pizza box on the take out counter/shelf/or whatever. read more
