Great people, great pizza, great beer. Don’t sleep on the burger - it’s one of the best around.

I went here with a friend, and when we first walked in the restaurant it had a weird smell in the restaurant. Luckily, my first did ask the waiter about the smell, but apparently she didn't smell it. I know other patrons smell a weird musty smell in the establishment once you enter the place. I hope they are able to correct the smell issue, because the food was pretty good.

Best bar pizza in Baltimore. Also a cool bar. Eat in and the pizza is always perfect.

My husband and I had pizza and drinks at the bar. The pizza was awesome. I had the BBQ chicken pizza and my husband had a pepperoni pizza which was delicious. I had a cocktail that was super bland and practically flavored water in a copper cup. The bartender, a woman with a mullet and tattoos left much to be desired in the area of hospitality. She straight up looked like she did not want to be there or be bothered with patrons. I don’t expect a full blown conversation but as a service worker, it’s not okay to be short and nonchalant with patrons. This rubbed me the wrong way almost to the point that I was hesitant to order my food. Although the food and music were great, I highly doubt if I would dine inside again. Take out will be the next option for us.

Maybe I was spoiled living in Brooklyn for a year but this pizza just isn’t good. Crust is too thin and lacked flavor, literally no cheese, and very few toppings. Not sure where these 5 Star reviews are coming from. Also got the cheesy bread which was just a quarter pizza with cheese. Baltimore pizza is a let down…

Our group always wants to go there but they don't offer any gluten free/ gluten sensitive options besides salad. I understand certified gluten free is hard but gluten sensitive isn't. A roll or a crust would be great and appreciated. The staff explanation was it's just too hard to do (gluten free/ sensitive) Wow. Thumbs down. I'll continue to give my business to Verde.

Got the cheesesteak with fries and pepe pizza. Love the cheesesteak! Good value with decent amount of meat. Everything was light even though you'd think it'd be very heavy. The sauces were also light and savory. The pizza was decent, but will definitely come back for the cheesesteak

Great local pizza spot and bar. The nitro sangria was interesting and very tasty. The pizza, chicken wrap, and beet salad were delicious. This is a great local spot.

3 of us went for lunch on Friday. First time there. Loved the skateboarder atmosphere with boards on the walls and videos of skateboarders doing their tricks on the tvs. They also have 2 old skeeball games. Two of us had pizza and 1 had the cheesesteak sub. Everything was good. Love the thin crust pizza. They have a nice selection of draft beers also. Will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed my meal here - pizza was near-European style, with a thin, crunchy crust and well portioned toppings. Rice balls were great, as was the caprese salad in a cup. Servers have a sense of humor and embrace the laid-back skateboard theme. Looking forward to my next trip!

Great place with lots of vegan options. I had the vegan stuffed pepper. Would love it if they had gluten free dough as well because my boyfriends pizza looked

maybe i came on a bad friday night for the kitchen, but i just had one of the worst pizza’s i’ve ever had unfortunately. i’ve never not finished a pizza before. i picked it up carryout so it shouldve still been good :( but it’s dry, thin, no sauce, no flavor, hard to chew.

Johnny rad's kind of seems like a whole in the wall, but the pizza is good, especially for the price point, the staff is attentive, it's a very chill vibe, and they have ski ball machines so that earns 5 stars for me. We got the Pepe Martinez last time we were there and it did not disappoint. I also love that they have a full bar and make delicious cocktails (try their chocolate mint oat milk cocktail!), as well as many local beers, because really, what goes better together than beer and pizza? The ski ball machines are fairly cheap and make it fun for kids and adults alike.
