Noona’s and Paulie Gee’s.

I was so unimpressed with JBGB’s pizza. It was just OK.

While they may not have the greatest pizza in the city, I do still love JBGB’s because on top of the solid pizza, they they have plenty of other options that are all great from what I’ve tried. Awesome drink program too.

Yep, agreed on JBGB. I was hoping for top tier pizza given their pricing, but it's just... medium.

John Brown has 2 locations, 1 in the city and 1 in the county. That makes you sound like the idiot. Take a deep breath, you sound pretty wound up, we’re just discussing a butcher, christ.

Just tried JBGB. their crust was dry and tasteless, like eating burnt toast. Will have to give these a try

Paulie gees doesn't do wood fired anymore. They have the ovens but haven't used them since the pandemic for some reason.

Ok. So. I lived a block from Hersch's for a decade, and imho, their handmade pasta outshines their pizza 100%. Tasty pizza with good toppings, for sure, but reallllly soggy middles.

Is that the place that doesnt slice their pizza because “thats how Cesar ate it”?

2

cdbloosh t1_iy03fwh wrote

Yes, which is admittedly dumb, but you can just ask them to slice it and they will

bvzxh t1_iy09hug wrote

Gotcha! Yeah I went there a few years ago and admittedly was so annoyed we were given a butter knife with an uncut pizza. The flavors were really good tho, and good to know you can ask.

gaytee t1_iy0fjan wrote

I can’t be the only one that wouldn’t really be bothered if they mentioned it in the restaurant and I was like “okay sliced please”, but reading it online is just like….why be so annoying, if your food is good, you don’t need gimmicks like that.

4

jwseagles t1_iy0lpbq wrote

Not sure if gimmick is the word for it. They don’t slice pizza in Italy so them doing Neapolitan pizza unsliced is pretty reasonable.

Spaceghostster t1_iy1gm8k wrote

Also, not cutting the pizza helps it absorb as it cools so it doesn't get soggy

My personal go to for small wood fired pizza with top shelf ingredients is Verde. You pay for it for sure but so worth it.

Thats_inzain t1_ixzh97r wrote

Paulie Gee’s in Hampden. They only do wood fired on Wednesdays and you have to eat in (no takeout), but pizzas are two for one.

Dang. So if we wanted to go tonight(Sunday) there wouldn’t be any pizza?

There is pizza, but it's not wood-fired; they have deck ovens for not-Wednesdays.

Every time I've walked by recently they look closed - I've been worried they shut down.

Old_girl90 t1_iy0fmc9 wrote

No, they are definitely open! We’ve ordered many pies from them during covid (pick-up) and been back to the restaurant after they reopened for in-door dining 5pm till 10ish I believe

Floss_tycoon t1_ixzmi0c wrote

Try Joe Squared. Coal fired but definitely has the charred crust.

gaytee t1_iy0flvh wrote

JS is underrated pie for sure.

Floss_tycoon t1_iy0yk9t wrote

It's good but like everything else it's become hella expensive. Oddly, the best thing there is the risotto.

Just ate there the other night. Was in the area and heard that was a good spot. Had their supreme and it was delicious! Love the square pie & square-cut pieces.

Specifically Wednesdays. Also, eat-in only Wednesdays, no carry-out. Worth it, though.

Birrotecca - interesting toppings, charred crust & other good things on the menu.

Lots of parking too!

Love birrotecca. I forget what it's called but they do a pizza with pork belly and hot honey that is incredible.

Not wood but Coal Fire in hunt valley is solid.

Agreed. Great option if not trying make an event out of it…quick, reasonably priced and friendly service. Bonus points for having a very serviceable separate bar area.

JBGB’s across the street from the Ottobar. I had it recently and the crust was charred. Damn good pizza.

conval3sce t1_iy1q0i9 wrote

Not in the area but well worth the drive - Frank Pepe’s in Bethesda. It’s a Connecticut establishment that recently opened the MD location. Would HIGHLY recommend. There’s also one that recently opened in Alexandria!

conval3sce t1_iy1q962 wrote

A more helpful local answer would be Verde or Paulie Gee’s — sorry! I just love to plug Frank’s whenever possible haha

Only lived in canton/hoghlandtown area but Verde has a wood oven 800° thats pretty dope even compared to ny original Lombardis (some are even better)

starskyandskutch t1_iy35xue wrote

Always a fan of Johnny Rads but they have a tendency to be a tad floppy in the center, have to request well done.

A lot of “Jbgb’s” is overrated talk in here but I loved their pizza. Probably helped that I had no expectations going into it, however.

Like many have said, Hersh’s in fed is great. Definitely the better than Verde if you’re looking for an upscale dine in experience

Imagine being too cheap to pay 5 to 10 more dollars than a papa john’s pizza. Pizza with locally farmed high quality ingredients and general popularity in the DC/Baltimore area.

28 bucks for a deep dish pep is actually lower range of price points. Via313 in austin charges 30. Goodpie in vegas charges 34 for a pep. BluePan in denver charges 32.

FWIW I’ve had all of these and they’re all a good value.
