Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

This place has potential, but it REALLY needs to get some kinks worked out. I've been to the other Hot Tomatoes in Fells and their pizza was pretty decent, so when Hot Tomatoes II opened a block from my house I was stoked. That's where the fun ended. We ordered a chicken cheesesteak sub, fries and jalapeno poppers to go. Showed up to pick up our order and were told our order would be up in 2 min...no problem. It became a problem when 20+ min later and multiple assurances that our order would be out in "2 minutes" and we were still waiting. At that point the, I believe, owner/manager came out to apologize, offer us a drink on the house, and tell us it would just be 5 min more, that they don't have a deep fryer so the fries and poppers take longer. We declined the drink as we really just wanted to get back and watch the game (that they were not showing for some reason). The no fryer thing also gave us pause, but just figured they'd use the kind you buy in grocery stores and can be baked - ok, whatever. Finally got home, ready to devour our food and to our horror it was the worst poppers experience ever - and really, I order jalapeno poppers everywhere I go. They were these pale, freezer burnt bisquick caked sad little jalapenos. Even after I tried retoasting them in my own toaster oven there was no salvaging these babies - see picture attached. So, so gross - these were definitely the poppers that HAD to be cooked in a fryer. The fries were also soggy and under cooked, but we were able to remedy that in the toaster oven. The sub was pretty good. Moral of the story - steer away from anything that is usually done in a fryer?? I may go back again for pizza, but hard to say after this awful experience. I will never order the poppers again though, which is sad because I really really love poppers!

Pizza can be very hit or miss. First pizza I've had here was in par with new York pizza however the next time was very poor. Decor is very bizarre so probably want to take out only

Had a great pizza there on Saturday nite. Price reasonable and the food was great. Classic new york slice

We've gotten takeout from here twice, both times we've gotten a pizza and a calzone. Both times we loved the calzone, but felt the pizza was just OK. Not much to say about the calzone, it's just delicious. Just get one. The pizza however seems to often have too much crust and not enough cheese/sauce. They also cooked it too long the last time. I'll probably give it one more try before we give up on the pizza and just order their delicious calzones. UPDATE: so pretty much every time we've gotten pizza from here it's been pretty subpar. It's also kind of expensive. They need to step their game up.

Ordered a white pizza. It came an hour and 45 minutes later barely Cooked with Barely any toppings on it and what I am assuming are burnt pieces from another pizza on it. Not my first time ordering from here but it is my last. Food is never delivered within the right time frame that they advertise. The pizza has been decent but after this experience NEVER again. Worst white pizza I've ever gotten. Sorry eat 24 you weren't much help either.

Poor quality food. Got my food for pick up and was really disappointed. Neither the chicken parm or the chicken cheesesteak had any real flavor. I was really hungry and still threw part of it away.

Hot Tomatoes II, not to be confused with Hot Tomatoes in Fells, is off the beaten path. It opened a little while ago without any ceremony or announcements, but we figured why not check out a new pizza place? Hot Tomatoes II is a solid neighborhood dive bar that serves surprisingly good pizza. Most importantly, the pizza is a great deal. The large pizza could pretty much feed a small army. We ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms. All the ingredients were fresh and they weren't stingy with the toppings. I really liked the crust. A great example of a crispy thin crust! And for less than 20 dollars this pizza is so big it can barely fit through a standard doorway. This place can get a bit loud during Orioles games, but otherwise its a pretty chill spot. If you're in the area and in the mood to grab a beer, watch the Orioles game, and eat pizza, check out Hot Tomatoes II.

What a great neighborhood bar with great pizza. Definitely a return visit is coming soon. Pizza has a great homemade sauce, cheesy and with pepperoni hit the spot. Couldn't finish it and took some to lunch the next day. Staff was friendly and attentive. A must go to. Next visit will try a cheesesteak.

Restaurant is open until 2 AM, I ordered food at 12:20 through the EAT24 app. They refused to deliver my order. If there going to agree to deliver food they should honor the agreement or change their available delivery time. Just goes to show a lack of customer respect or service.

Two stars for super quick delivery... If only they were delivering another restaurant's food. Ordered half cheese half pepperoni pizza. Received an overcooked pepperoni pizza with a gigantic hole in it and cheese covering the exposed cardboard. It also tasted like cardboard. Called to complain and they sent us a new pizza this time all cheese with uncooked pepperoni on half. Is it really that challenging to make a pizza?

I just had the worst pizza in my 61 year life. It was inedible, as I couldn't get it out of the box because of the grease. I ordered from the bar across the street and picked up. My wife brought it back to them and they nicely retuned our money. But wow. It was bad. Zero stars if possible. (Btw Butts and Betty's bar across the street is a terrific neighborhood bar).

A quintessential neighborhood dive bar with ridiculously cheap happy hour prices. Good music, good service, good people. Not a so good pizza IMO but other items are solid.

Ordered take out from here: cheese pizza. It's surprisingly good. The sauce was slightly tangy which was nice. The pie was oblong and slightly irregular which was kind of fun as opposed to something perfectly round and pristine. They told me 15 minutes and it was ready when I got there. Only complaint was that there wasn't anyone behind the bar when I first got there. I think that he was in the other room but there didn't seem to be anyway for me to get their attention. A bell or something would have been nice. When I went in to pick up the pie, there was a drunk guy sitting at the jukebox singing along animatedly to each song. Classic and amusing.

Quintessential Baltimore dive bar! Tonight was my third time in 2 weeks. While the atmosphere leaves something to be desired, it's like hanging out in your buddy's somewhat drab living room. Every time I've been there the same people have been hanging out. The vibe has gone from drunkenly singing along with the jukebox and ripping shots to family night tonight to watch the Walking Dead. If you're ever there on a Sunday for the Walking Dead, don't get yourself in trouble....keep quiet during the show. You can chat during commercials. The food is shockingly good...don't let the blase menu fool you. It's small but delicious. I've had the chicken cheese steak twice now and a pizza once. Both were delicious and made great leftovers the next day. I might have given another star if they weren't out of lettuce, tomato, and onion, the three toppings I get on my cheese steak. Even without my normal toppings, the chicken was great and the roll was toasted to a perfect crispiness. They don't have the traditional Baltimore "hots" so I opted for pickled jalapeno. I don't think much is standard here....last week I was offered banana peppers in lieu of hots. The pizza wasn't really anything to write home about but it was good. It totally satisfied but didn't have any real wow factor. The bartender is a great dude. Classic dive bar dry funny attitude. He gives great service and hooks up a shot now and then. He doesn't always have everything available to him in terms of ingredients, but he does a great job of making it work. When he didn't have lemonade to go with my friend's iced tea vodka, he whipped up some homemade lemonade on the spot for her. That's going the extra mile and that means a lot! The beer selection could use some serious improvement. They essentially only have the typical domestics in bottles, nothing craft and nothing import. On draft they had a pumpkin beer and Resurrection along with maybe Bo and Angry Orchard. I would be way more into hanging out here if I didn't have to sacrifice my beer selection which is really at least 50% of the reason I'm walking through the door. Overall, HT2 satisfies. It's 2 blocks from my front door, the crowd is great, the food is more than adequate, and the booze is good enough. If I end up spending much time here, I'm definitely going to start pushing for some better beer selection. Would I ever go here if I wasn't in the neighborhood? Definitely not. But I am so we'll have a friendship of convenience for now.

Really sad to see all the super negative reviews since I love the staff here, but I suppose you should go in with certain expectations. HTII is by no means a gourmet pizza place. They serve trampoline-sized pizzas at great prices with a decent beer selection, and let's face it, it's a dive bar! Seeing as such, I give HTII a solid 3 stars. Although I may defer to other pizza joints for my delivery pizza, I won't hesitate to continue to swing by this neighborhood haunt for some brews and a big ol' cheap slice. Let's be realistic, kids!

Not to be confused with Hot Tomatoes, the favorite after-bar pizza place in Fells. This place is a dive bar first, food place second. Temper your food and ambiance expectations accordingly. The chefs can go missing and forget orders. The honey barbecue wings are small in size but pretty tasty.

Inconsistent says it best! I've been there a few times for drinks and food. The white pie was great! Then we ordered when Steve was in the kitchen....never again! What we got was burnt and not at all like what we had before. Tried again tonight, I even made sure that Steve wasn't working! When I walked in the bartender Debbie immediately greatest me, asked if I wanted anything but told me she was off the clock. Said I can wait and I waited for 10 minutes before the other guy even acknowledged my presence. I finally ordered a beer and got a menu, after awhile he took my food order. As I waited my boyfriend came to meet me, he was there for 20 minutes and was never asked if he wanted anything!! The bartender finally came and said she's in the kitchen working, but didn't give a time frame..I waited again! After a bit I said I've been waiting for over 40 minutes, where's my food, and as soon as he runs to check it's there! Only reason he got the tip he did was because I didn't feel like waiting for change. Tread with caution, it's inconsistent at best, but when good it's good. But never order the poppers! They get the ones that should be fried but they don't have a fryer so you end up with a nasty doughy mess that isn't fit for the dog!
