Hersh's

I came to Hershey's to get an espresso martini and that was amazing! They have a later happy hour (till 7) so I was also able to get a tasty Paloma and some focaccia. It wasn't really busy for a Friday & I loved the low lights!

Finally! I've been waiting for what seems like forever to try Hersh's and it did not disappoint. Before we begin, you should always shoot to have a reservation before trying your luck with a walk in. Inside is beautiful but it is not a big spot. Service and the cocktails were great, but the food totally stole the show. The pizza is amazing and all the other entrees that passed our table looked delicious too. Hersh's had great wine selection and the Something Green cocktail was delightful. Be sure to give it a try before they close for the season!

I haven't been to Hersh's in about 5 years due to consistently bad service. Tried it again for a friends birthday and while there were some improvements, it's clear some training is still needed and some issues are unresolved.For what it's worth, at 5pm on a Friday it was completely empty for about an hour. No one there for happy hour? Not a good sign in Baltimore. We split the stracciatella, which was actually incredible and I would highly recommend. For pizzas - we split a Salami Mommy and an Il pagliacci. Both were also good. The service was strange for how empty they were. I arrived about 30 min before my friends and simply asked if I could sit at a table outside with a drink while I waited. Then, when they arrived, we'd all move inside to our previously reversed table. They seemed baffled and noted there were reservations outside at the tables for right now. Again, restaurant is empty. They said they would check. Miraculously they were able to find a table that no one would be seated at for the next 30 min. As I sat for 30 min alone, not one single person came to sit outside. Why the confusion? Not sure.Truly the reason for the mediocre review is the petty, sneaky cake cutting fee. We brought a small cake. I have no problem with a cake cutting fee if there's a large party with a large cake as it takes time to do so. But even then, let the table know when you offer. We had THREE people and the server offered to cut the cake (didn't note there was a cake cutting fee... why?) and didn't even cut the whole cake!!! It was a small Bundt cake and he cut 3 pieces and left the rest whole. I thought he was being nice until I got a $7 charge for that. For what? Then the waitress noted they usually give you a complimentary piece of cake for your bday - well we brought our own so she didn't, which is fine, but at least wave the already ridiculous cake cutting fee! So we paid $7 for no free piece of cake and our whole cake was not cut. It's just not a way to treat people. Maybe it will be another 5 years until I return...

Incredible restaurant. My wife and I heard about Hersh's and decided to give it a try. We WILL be back!!The menu is not huge but the food is delicious. Pizzas the specialty. I got the Chicken Parm, my standard at every restaurant that offers it. Was great. And the desserts are fantastic!!The waitstaff was wonderful. Attentive. Polite. Nice. Couldn't ask for better..Looks like Hersh's is in a part of the city that's being 'rejuvenated' from old run-down buildings to modern newer ... everything. Some local neighborhoods as well as businesses. It's easy to find. Parking, though, ... plan to drive down the road a bit and walk back a block or three. Not at all bad though.

Hot damn. Baltimore is no slouch when it comes to great pizza options (Little Donna's, DiPasquale's, Diamondback) but Hersh's brings the heat. Tucked away in sleepy Riverside, this spot is well worth a trip from the metro-area suburbs. We started out with the Caesar salad and some drinks. I really enjoyed the well-crafted old fashioned and the Caesar was super fresh and flavorful (no small feat for a menu stalwart). Don't be afraid to squeeze the whole lemon wedge, as your tastebuds will be rewarded with a zingy, creamy flavor that combines beautifully with the fresh crunch of romaine. This town is lousy with good pasta and pizza options. If you are on the fence, just order both because Hersh's is ready to stand and deliver some bangers. I'm a Carbonara fiend and can't get enough of a good Neapolitan crust. Our pasta was delightfully homey, fresh, and tasty while the pizza sported beautiful blisters from the wood oven with a look worthy of Instagram and a flavor worthy of multiple Yelp stars. The L'Ari B pizza had fresh arugula, creamy straciatella, and flavorful balsamic with crumbly sausage to boot. If you like a Neapolitan pie, this one merits your attention.You'd better have something special going if you are offering staples like pizza, pasta, and cocktails in this town. Hersh's answers the call and really has something for everyone. Service was also attentive without being overbearing, and it's a great combo of indoor and outdoor space. Bravo!

My dad and I visited here for the first time and absolutely enjoyed it! I'm mostly plant based so we decided to cater to that diet and shared it allWe ordered:The Big V - this was our favorite for sure. Pizza crust was perfect, be sure to ask.for a side of their chili oil to dip it in. Perfectly sauced, and top with well dressed olive oil arugula. Pepperoni-oni - we got this with plant based cheese and Pepperoni, and it was delicious as wellOur waitress suggested dessert, and I thought I was too full,but I'm so happy she suggested ot. We shared 2 scoops, roasted strawberry and chocolate, and both were damn good. Ice creams are from the Taharka Brothers, so if you know that brand, you already know the quality! The chocolate ice cream taste like it has a brownie in it, and yes,both are vegan options.We had a wonderful waitress, Abby. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu, thanks for excellent service Abby!!!

Fresh ingredients and very romantic atmosphere. Sometimes the pizza is too charred/burned for my taste but there are so many appetizers to choose from as well (love the meatballs!) and the cocktails are very pretty. Overall it can be a sneaky expensive night out so it's not a regular spot for us but I do like it.

Solid pizza with a good vibe! Overall, really enjoyed the pizza I got -- had mushrooms and arugula and was a little spicy! We went for happy hour so I got the $7 g&t which was solid! The outdoor patio area was very cute and I was able to bring my dog! Overall, a nice, classy pizza place if you're in the area. Parking was easy to find.Of note, I've heard the pasta portions are relatively small!

The food here is delicious and I love the ambiance inside!!! Also the focaccia bread is a must try!!

I am a firm believer that hershs pizza has some of the best food in the city. The service is always fantastic and the vibe is casual but romantic. Highly recommend the pizza and home made pasta too!
