Pizza Johns has the best Pizza in Maryland. It is fresh with the perfect amount of ingredients. The pepperoni are abundant, little saucers throughout. Plenty of mozzarella that covers the whole pizza. The sauce is tomatoes and the right amount of spices and the crust is cooked just right. The restaurant is for family fun. You order your pizza and when your number is called you pick it up at the counter. They have lots of other foods as well, subs, pasta, wings and the best old style crinkle fries. You can’t go wrong. We’ve been going there for 30 years. Family owned and Not Papa Johns! Day and night! It is the best!! Oh great meatballs and sausage!!

Oh man, did this live up to the hype. It’s hard to find genuinely good pizza in this area, especially Glen Burnie. We heard about this restaurant and it was well worth the drive. This is a big operation, popular, and delivers across the country for a reason — it’s the real deal. There’s plenty of dining space and very sweet and attentive staff to assist you at your table if needed. Everything was quickly made and tasted amazing, especially the wings. The pizza was just perfect and every one we saw at other tables looked fantastic. You can’t go wrong with whatever you get. We didn’t get dessert, but it was so very tempting.

A classic Italian-American pizza spot that is family operated offering great service and great pizza. The ordering counter system is efficient and I was happy that one can buy a single slice, which is great way to rest out a spot. I ordered the classic cheese, the sauce was great and the crust was nice ( best time I’ll request it “well-done”) it’s heavy on the cheese, so that will make many happy. This place is classic and I recommend it. The restaurant is big and perfect for large groups.

The pizza was awesome. We live 3 1/2 hours away so it’s a treat when we come down to get the awesome pizza. The staff is always very friendly. Highly recommended!

TLDR: A pizza institution for Baltimore natives. Dine in for the retro pizza parlor experience. Come for the infamous pepperoni cups pizza, bored out on heel meatball subs and overloaded cheesesteaks.

I went for a kid’s bday party and left feeling pizza John’s lived up to its reputation. When I told a neighbor I was going there for the first time, she raved about food, the history, and even the rapid fire ordering at the counter.

I’ve been to 2 kids birthday parties here and they were great. The pizza is delicious and the rooms always felt before enough for the party. Get the black bottom cupcakes and tiramisu, you won’t be sorry!

I was delightfully surprised at the options and quality of the food! This would be a regular spot if it wasn’t 30 mins from me. I will still go back!
