Visitors to Owings Mills often default to chain restaurants, but there’s so much more to this suburb than predictable pies. Put on your stretchy pants and head to the strip malls and town centers where locals are obsessed with their neighborhood pizzerias, from wood-fired Neapolitan to New York-style slices. That’s what finding the best pizza in Owings Mills is really all about.
Little Caesars Pizza
$ | (410) 581-0101 | WEBSITE
Little Caesars Pizza is a reliable spot for a quick meal with the family, and regulars here tend to become familiar faces. The budget-friendly approach and focus on satisfying options means hot pizzas and combos are on the menu, plus dishes that invariably include stuffed crust. Or wings.
Start with the popular 3 meat pizza, a veterans lunch combo, and a fresh pie from the drive-thru—though there might be a slight wait, it’s worth it—before exploring the variety of options looking for value (we usually find it). The straightforward setup has a consistent service team, a pace that moves from order to pickup without fuss, and a menu that nods to the restaurant’s practical appeal. Their fresh taste at a fraction of the cost is a dependable choice you don’t want to miss.
Giant Food – Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe
$$ | (410) 413-2961 | WEBSITE
Giant Food – Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe’s well-deserved reputation is built on two pillars: the consistently fresh departments and the fantastic, helpful staff that customers appreciate. The friendly atmosphere is welcoming on any day, with its well-stocked shelves offering everything from pizza ingredients to grocery essentials.
The establishment’s stellar customer service, like the heartwarming gesture of singing Happy Birthday to patrons, and the reliable, consistent staff make this a beloved spot we return to again and again.
Rincon Italiano
$$ | (410) 356-3079 | WEBSITE
Rincon Italiano is the restaurant people think of when they think about Owings Mills, and they’re right for it: it’s where the area’s dining buzz started, and many people who used to work there have opened other places on this list. You’ll want to spend an entire evening at the original location trying their take on Italian classics, like over-the-top chicken Parmesan with two large chicken breasts and delicious pasta sauce, and a whole lot of pizza-centric regular favorites.
If you can’t get a table on short notice, try their takeout service: the generous portions travel well and the friendly staff makes it seamless.
Times Square Kitchen
$ | (410) 902-4400 | WEBSITE
The super crispy pepperoni and generous sausage is what keeps us going back to Times Square Kitchen, a casual, counter-style spot in Owings Mills. The staff are friendly folks who make you feel like you’re back in NYC, and now have a menu of freshly made New York-style pizza and subs, plus veggie options (in salad or sub version) served with their signature sauces. The way they treat their dough really delivers, though.
It comes perfectly baked in the XL pizza, topped with pepperoni, sausage, and that classic tomato sauce. And it’s sliced in their signature style, served with a side of garlic knots and a tangy marinara dip. You can order out from Times Square Kitchen, but the (often New York-inspired) atmosphere and the happy hum in the kitchen make it worth showing up for in person.
Big Cheese
$ | (410) 581-3600 | WEBSITE
Big Cheese is where you should go for the most satisfying pizza in town, made with authentic ingredients and so much tasty cheese. Grab a slice and you might feel like you’re at a neighborhood joint in the heart of Owings Mills, rather than just another pizza spot. The menu includes classics like pepperoni and meat lovers, though we’re partial to the chicken cheesesteak and Hawaiian pizza with teriyaki wings and jambalaya.
It’s a one-man show—just the long-time owner who’s always engaged—and since the prices are budget-friendly, you’ll want to stop by often. The folks behind Big Cheese also cater to everyone with comfort food like dino nuggets for picky eaters, making it a beloved staple in the community.
Vito’s Pizza
$ | (410) 363-0220 | WEBSITE
Vito’s Pizza’s classic pies hit the mark every time. Their pepperoni pizza alone is worth a visit, with the perfect amount of pepperonis and a nice seasoned flavor. We love their large fries, the tasty chicken bacon ranch pizza, and the always-satisfying cheesesteak subs and shrimp platters. The surprisingly affordable prices, with a 16-inch pizza for roughly 16 dollars, are a great deal while enjoying food that’s freshly made to order.
This is a beloved spot for solo and small group dining, with a very welcoming environment and friendly staff that quickly make you feel at home.
Seasons Pizza
$ | (410) 581-5804 | WEBSITE
Seasons Pizza is one of the most welcoming spots in Owings Mills, with its clean, comfortable vibe and Scrabble game ready for a casual match, plus a quiet atmosphere that lets conversations flow just right. It’s probably a once-a-week treat for most people, but it’s worth it.
The move here is to go for the fresh pizza or cheesesteaks—they’re generous portions and really showcase the friendly service that the team is justifiably proud of (and you won’t be missing out on their perfectly cooked fries). And should you want to enjoy your hearty meal in comfort, they’ve got a cool, laid-back staff and a nice location that makes it a pleasant place to dine.
Brookside’s Pizzeria
$ | (410) 998-2100 | WEBSITE
Brookside’s Pizzeria—a name that’s become synonymous with comfort—is a pizza joint in Owings Mills, with a slightly dated but clean interior where TVs show sports and family-friendly shows. Warm and polite staff serve diners through the straightforward menu of classic New York-style pies at this kid-friendly spot that’s open for both pickup and dine-in. (If you want something fancier, check out other restaurants in the area).
Grab a slice from the counter and dig into plates of profoundly delicious cheese pizza with that standout crust and some garlic knots for a side. Brookside’s signature cheese blend is the highlight, as well as reasonably priced sodas and beers that pair with the pizza to a tee.
MOD Pizza
$ | (410) 517-7412 | WEBSITE
Casual but not basic, Owings Mills favorite MOD Pizza is satisfying locals with its friendly service, customizable menu built around fresh ingredients, a wide variety of toppings and salads, and clever dressings, including a very nice fig glaze that comes highly recommended. We’ve loved their barbecue chicken pizza with light mozzarella and extra onions and Gorgonzola, as well as their build-your-own creations and carb-conscious salads—all of which we’re hoping will stay on the menu for a while.
Sit in the pleasant and clean dining area for a family-friendly experience, and make sure to check out the easy online ordering or take advantage of the convenient private parking before you leave.
Vocelli Pizza
$ | (410) 999-8300 | WEBSITE
We can’t think of Vocelli Pizza without picturing those steaming boxes arriving at the door—the promise of a satisfying pizza night. It might not be the most gourmet presentation, but you’ll appreciate it as soon as you bite into that meat magnifico with its generous toppings, savor the sweet-savory combo of the Quattro cheese Hawaiian, or dig into the creamy, indulgent Mac n cheese pizza.
Vocelli Pizza is a reliable spot to order in for a casual dinner or game night, and a quintessential Owings Mills choice when you want something better than chain pizza without breaking the bank. Delivery can be busy, especially on weekends, so if you’re planning ahead—or want to customize your half-and-half pie—consider ordering a bit early to ensure your super-fast arrival.
