Baltoz Bakery and Cafe

Ordered the mushroom pizza and it was spectacular. Got the tomato base this trip but will be trying the cream sauce base AND the spicy margarita pizza. Nice ambiance. Pizza ready exactly on time. Will be returning.

A newer spot that was featured on one of the local food IG sites. Interesting they open at 4:30 given they are partially billed as a Bakery.Small spot and basically it's pickup or delivery only for now as I didn't see any tables inside. You get a wood fire burning aroma when you walk in which was cool and unexpected. Wasn't sure what to order and couldn't tell what size the pizza was from the website (comes in one size only option) Turned out to be 16 inch pies. Ordered a Supreme and we loved it! Thinner crust so you get the slight sour dough taste, generous portions of spicy cup pepp and house sausage were tasty and played nicely with the roasted peppers.They had Sicilian style slices which reminded me of some of the pizza spots in NYC. Pepperoni, Arrabbiata and Plain (Margherita). With the thicker crust, you definitely get that tangy sourdough taste. We enjoyed all three.Also, saw some pastries (sweet/savory), cookies and Bread. Got the Chocolate as well Cinnamon Cardamom Babkas. I'm usually a Chocolate only Babka fan but their Cinnamon/Cardamom stole the show. I saw a sea salt chocolate cookie that looked enticing-next time.As other Yelpers have written, you can order online before they open at 4:30 (not sure how much before opening they take orders). On a Friday, I ordered our pizza at 4 and the pick up time was 5:55 and was actually ready at 5:45.Service was upbeat and engaged. They were busy with some customers waiting and a young lady was hustling with a smile to take care of her customers. We will be back!

I first noticed Baltoz Bakery and Cafe during one of our visits to the Charmery. The building was empty but looked like it was in the process of coming. Over the next couple months I began following their Instagram account and came across an article about the owner and his sourdough pizza recipes. All of this just hyped the place even more. But the limited hours and Mondays and Tuesdays being closed made it difficult to get there (I completely understand though, it is one man doing all the pastries and pizzas as far as I can tell). Finally, after a Sunday afternoon birthday party in a neighboring establishment, we were in the area during their open hours.The door says Baltoz opens at 4:00. It was probably 4:03 when we left the party and pulled on their door. Locked. Drat! Foiled again. We started to leave when the woman running the checkout area rushed over and unlocked it. She apologized and escorted us in. That smell! We were greeted with the smell of fresh baked sourdough. Around the register were loaves of bread and pastries. While we were really there to try the pizza, my family couldn't resist the baked goods and bread. So we left with some of those as well.As far as pizza goes, I ordered the vegan pizza on the menu, my kids got a cheese one and my wife ordered the sweet corn and cherry tomato. We were informed that it would be 20-30 minutes so we left to do some grocery shopping. We returned 30 minutes later and the pizzas were not yet done. It was an additional five to ten minutes before our order was up. Problematic? Maybe. But someone at Baltoz snuck an extra pastry into our box, I can only imagine as compensation for the wait. The vegan pizza consists of Tuscan white bean sauce, roasted red pepper and walnut pesto, zucchini, peppers, onion, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and thyme. This isn't your standard vegan cheese, sauce or vegan meat pizza. These items were specially grouped together because of how they enhance and contrast each other. Paired with the sourdough crust, this was an excellent pizza. The corn and tomato pizza consists of cream of sweet corn sauce, fresh and low mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, basil and olive oil. The ingredients in this one were also selected because of how they fit together. My wife had the same reaction I did. It was an excellent pizza. My kids weren't really into their cheese pizza. I contribute this to the fact that they aren't super adventurous. They are happy with chain pizza places.Baltoz's is not cheap. We left with a bill that was very large. But good sourdough takes time. I felt with the amount of food we got, the size of those products and the time and effort put in to making them, the price made sense. You will find cheaper elsewhere. You won't necessarily find better.The pastries and sourdough were excellent. The pizzas, great! Because of how good the product is, Baltoz's has earned five stars even though there are/were some kinks to be worked out.

Everything here is delicious ! Pizza is banging. Cookies and baked goods are incredible. Only reason not giving 5 stars is it is HOT! Idk if they don't have AC or what, but call ahead and pick up. It's like a sauna waiting in there.

This new pizza joint is the truth, I enjoyed it thoroughly.. Probably has shot up to my personal favorite and I do have a roster. It doubles as a bakery, limited baked goods if you will, so picked up some babka.. I think the flavors I purchased were cinnamon and Choclate, both were excellent. They a were on the pricey side, but will surely be back further my next pizza fix.

Love love their pizza!! The crust is sooo good since they are first a bakery and now expanding into 'za. Our favorites are the spicy pepperoni and the sweet corn and cherry tomato. The mushroom is delicious too (add the goat cheese!). Make sure to plan ahead and order early! This is not mass produced or turned out in a rush, the good stuff takes a little while. Definitely worth it!

As a pizza aficionado who has eaten at Pizzeria Bianco, Mozza, New Haven, etc., having something like Baltoz in the Towson area is a gift from heaven. Their sourdough crust and fresh toppings create one of the best pizzas in America. Don't miss out on their pesto Vodka pizza, but you cannot go wrong with the classics, whether you go "grandma" or classic style. The cookies are also divine, just know that for a full pie you should consider ordering a day or two in advance to assure you get a spot.

Amazing pizza and cookies! Their cheese pizza is definitely my favorite in Baltimore. Order ahead in the morning.

My five year quest for delicious pizza in Baltimore has finally come to fruition! So good!!! Got a pepperoni and mushroom pizza of my dreams. I guess I should be happy they open at 4:30 so I do t eat pizza for lunch every day, because I would.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about the pizza here. Very floppy. Average at best.
