We have previously ordered from this business and had no issues but we ordered pizza to go and found hair under the cheese of multiple slices. Disgusting. We will not be ordering from here again, who knows what else is in their food?

Locals Only serves some of the best pizza in and around Baltimore—truly top-tier. The pies are consistently excellent, especially when you dine in, and even for takeout they hold up well if you ask for a crispier crust. The Brussels sprout Caesar is another standout, even if it can run a little heavy on the dressing. And for happy hour, the prices are almost unbeatable for the quality you’re getting. Our experience is really centered on the early evening, and that’s where things feel a bit different from the late-night buzz the place is known for. During happy hour it’s usually surprisingly quiet, which makes it easy to grab a table but also feels unexpected given how popular the restaurant becomes later. The “Locals Only” concept is clever, but despite visiting pretty regularly around that time, we don’t quite feel recognized as locals—something that could make the theme feel more meaningful. The music can also be louder than you’d expect for 5–6pm. Still, even with those quirks, we keep coming back for one very simple reason: the food is excellent.

The food was great. Good portions as well. Place was completely dead tho. Only me, my wife and the cooks. Lol.

Loved the vibe and aesthetics at this cute little spot. Our bartender was on point. The crushes were perfect. We ordered the smashburger and the mac-o-rella sticks. Both were incredibly delicious. The smashburger came with some very unique fries. Thick cut, crisp on the outside and the right amount of soft on the inside. 10/10 across the board! We will for sure be back for another round and to try the pizza.
