Brick Oven Pizza

800 South Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21231

Yeah, you can get pizza almost anywhere you go. Still, it’s rare to eat pizza somewhere special with endless options. Representing true Baltimore flavor, Brick Oven Pizza in Fells Point is the perfect place to sit down with friends or grab a slice to eat outside by the docks. The place is always busy (which is definitely a good sign!) and the staff knows how to handle a rush, meaning you’ll never have to wait a long time for whatever you ordered.

The toppings list seems endless and includes the typical toppings and things you can’t get everywhere like artichoke hearts, capers, carrots, cherry peppers, corn, eggplant, garlic, pesto, potatoes, zucchini, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, gyro meat, salami, turkey, and spam (!!!). If you’re feeling a bit daring, you can try anchovies, clams, crab meat, or shrimp.

The fun tends to come with the cheese, where you can select between cream cheese, cheddar, feta, fontina, goat cheese, ricotta, sour cream, provolone, or a combination of the items previously listed. Really, the possibilities are endless and making your own customized slice is surely encouraged.

It gets even better for the vegans out there – Brick Oven Pizza offers soya cheese on its pizza. It’s great to pair some with a vegetable medley, like broccoli and spinach. I’ve gotten it many times before, but unfortunately (there were big frowns to be had) they were out of vegan cheese the night I ventured into Fells Point with my friends. I love all pizza, so a cheeseless version was okay for me.

Fells Point already provides a young, hip atmosphere, but it’s important that there’s a great pizza place to go with it. Let me know if you have a chance to stop by and try it. While you’re at it, pick me up a vegan slice!
