My wife and I love Key Neopolitan, which just opened at intersection of Jackson Street and Key Highway, the virtual juncture of Fed Hill and Locust Point in my mind. They serve Verde pizza, by far, the best pizza in Charm City, where I’ve lived all my life. The fruit crushes were amazing too, as was the al fresco dining experience: under a tent with picnic tables, replete with amazing and eclectic tunes playing nonstop. The chill vibe and nice night caused us to hang out longer — after finishing our deeply delicious, soulful crust Neapolitan fresh from the outdoor pizza oven — to drink another round of crushes and watch children and their parents play ping pong.
Here’s another “key” reason why Key Neopolitan will be my new hangout this summer: The vibe was so chill that I did not notice that I had misplaced my wallet until we were walking home. When my wife and I were a couple blocks away from home, the front desk at my building called to let me know that a man was there with my wallet. Panic in remission. We arrived minutes later to meet Mack Fowler, the owner and the man working that hot outdoor pizza oven for everyone’s benefit that night. He waived away all offers of reward for saving me from the deep abyss and panic of canceling cards and new licenses, etc…. “Just tell your friends about the place. “ Mack, thank you so much for your old world kindness and for your vision in bringing this amazingly chill joint to our neighborhood. I look forward to many more great meals and experiences at...
Read moreKey Neapolitan by Verde is hands down one of the best pizza places around! Every time I go, I’m blown away by the consistency and quality. The service is always on point. You feel welcomed the second you walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly love what they do. They make every visit feel warm and personal. The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always made to perfection. Whether you’re eating there or grabbing takeout, every bite delivers that authentic Neapolitan-style pizza experience. I especially love that the pizzas are made in their wood-burning oven pizza truck. It is such a cool and unique setup that adds to the charm and authenticity of the whole experience. It’s unlike anything else and makes the pizza taste even better. My go-to order for takeout is the Margherita pizza. It is simple, classic, and executed flawlessly every single time. The crust is perfectly blistered, the sauce is rich and vibrant, and the fresh mozzarella and basil ties it all together beautifully. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re seriously missing out. Key Neapolitan by Verde isn’t just a pizza spot, it’s an experience you’ll crave again and again. Can’t...
Read moreWe were lucky enough to host our rehearsal / welcome to Baltimore dinner here the evening before our wedding. Can’t say enough about how great it went. Our family was running late due to traffic & we arrived to our welcome bags + tables all set up. Pizza’s were delicious and setting up a tab for drinks was easy. Our snowcone tab at Crushed Velvet was a big hit with adults and kids alike. Highly recommended anytime, but a must for wedding parties at AVAM or BMI. Our hotel block was in Harbor East so our guests dropped their bags and stepped on the free Harbor Connector over to Fed Hill for dinner. So, so glad a place like this finally exists...
