Phenomenal risotto. I got the mushroom risotto with fries and both were delicious. We went in the middle of the day which was nice, because it wasn’t very busy. It’s sad that they’re closing, but I’m happy I got to go there before it closes at the end of this month.

If you are a thin crust pizza lover, you would definitely enjoy this place!
I got the chicken balsamic pizza, which wasn't bad, but not my favorite. For balsamic vinaigrette lovers however, I'm sure it would taste very nice. I'm sure the tomato-based pizzas would be great. We also got the mushroom risotto, which was very good! Not too salty, but very creamy & savory with nice fluffy rice. A bit oily, but I think that is the case with all risottos. Guilford Hall beer was also a great classic beer!
Now, if you are looking for a trendy, energetic bar-type hangout spot, this is not the place. Most of the individuals that were here on the Friday night we came were older and more laid back. It might be a con for some, but I figure this place would be great for an older couple looking to have a relaxing night out.

Service: everyone was nice. Our waitress was friendly and attentive
Food: we had the ceasar salad, potato skins, BBQ chicken pizza, and cheese pizza. It all was delicious!!! Salad had plenty of dressing with very good croutons. The BBQ pizza was beyond my expectations.
Highly recommend!

Came to see some bands downstairs but heard the pizza was pretty good so we got there early. Very glad we did. The pizza here is a-MAY-zing!!!! They're square (of course!) and are flatbread-style and they come out hot and crispy. We had the White with Veggies, the Meat Lovers, and a special with Buffalo Chicken & Red Onions. All 3 tasted fabulous. Couldn't pick a favorite if I had to. They each tasted different and they all were simply delicious. I spoke with a person who told me the owner of JoeSquared is an old-tyme pizza fanatic who went to Italy and came back with a 200-year old sourdough and that's why the crust is so delicious. Yeah, man!
After dinner we walked downstairs to see 3 different bands perform some really great live music. Shout out to Blanket Approval for pulling us in to begin with. They ROCKED!!

I got the cheese steak sub. Was impressed by the size of the slices of hanger steak. It's not your wafer steak that you get in the sub shop. I forgot which pizza my wife got, but it was unique in delicious. All their ingredients are fresh and locally sourced.

I did carry out during a time that was not very busy. The customer service was great, quick, and easy. I ordered the calamari and the mozzarella sticks both were excellent, but the mozzarella sticks were a stand out. It's so rare to find a place with a gluten free fryer, and even harder to find gluten free mozzarella sticks! They were really delicious.

We went after the usual lunch time on a Saturday and there was no wait. Plenty of street parking. Pizzas were great (Lombardi and pepperoni), and the server was attentive, making a really great suggestion about splitting a larger size rather than two smalls and still get two flavors. The notice outside is in regards to a liquor license they are definitely open, so don't let that deter you!

Love this place I will def. Be back. They are wonderful and the food is awesome. I can't wait to bring my family from out of town to this place. I really enjoy it . It's one of the better pizza places in town.

Ordered the Lombardi and the chicken avocado pizzas, fries, and ginger pine nut wings. The chicken pizza was very taco like and good! The Lombardi is usually my meat pizza go to. Both pizzas were great. The ginger pine nut wings were not my cup of tea. They were sweeter than expected and we didn’t really taste much ginger in them. The fries I know are when fresh could be amazing but they suffer so much from delivery as they steam and get very very wet. We always have the oven preheating to toss them into. But they look and taste like good boardwalk style fries. I wish they could maybe ventilate better while being delivered or something. You can see in the wings pictures the boxes keep the moisture locked in which isn’t best for fries. This time the pizzas were a little cool too so we put them in too. Over all we will continue to order from Joe squared even if they’re a little pricey. They quality is good. (We didn’t order it this time but I do love the Hawaiian pizza here!)

Pizza is outstanding thin crust style pizza best eaten fresh from the oven. Do offer a half-baked option for eating the pie at home. Everything was outstanding, including the service.

Wish I had visited this place sooner because I'd have become a regular. Their pizza is incredible! My friend's crab soup looked delicious too! So sorry they are closing!
Michael Lape
Been coming here for about 10 years. Amazing food (best pizza in Baltimore, creative and delicious entrees), amazing atmosphere (cool art, great music), and amazing staff (friendly and attentive).
So sad they’re closing, go while you can!!

Rumor is this place is closing for good at the end of the year (2023). I'm sad. The deepest pour when it comes to martinis. Their pizza delish! And... they serve a foodie's delight for apps. So sad, my first time will be my last.

Came here with a big group of about 20 people (with a reservation). The staff handled us very gracefully. All the food was excellent, particularly the crab pizza. It is a very unique pizza place that I think anyone visiting Baltimore should check out.
Pam Greenfield
I only went there once with an ex boyfriend and it was an awesome date. I remember nice live music and yummy vegan food. Iconic Baltimore place.
I am sorry you guys are going out of business. Sad. RIP.

The pizza here is so delicious!! We couldn’t decide, so we tried 4 different kinds, which I totally recommend doing! We had the Crab pizza, Irish pizza (corned beef - so good!), Chicken & Balsamic pizza, and the Cumin-Braised Lamb pizza. They were super-friendly and helpful, and the food was so good!! Definitely recommend.
Robert Cardoni
One of Baltimore’s best pies. Thin crust ... so thin it only takes a few minutes to bake !
Also known for their potato skins - but if you leave without trying the flag pizza (1/3 cheese and marinara, 1/3 pesto and mozzarella and 1/3 garlic and ricotta ) you did it wrong
Always has cool local art on the walls. Staff is awesome. Beer list is legit. Live music in the basement too

I love the atmosphere. The server was friendly. My Pizza came within 5 minutes after I ordered. I would've given Joe Squared a 5.
The reason: I had to reorder my pizza because there was very little, if any sauce on the pizza. I didn't taste any sauce on the first order.
The second pizza was right on point. The server explained to me that they put very little sauce on the pizza because of the crispy crust.
I get that. I want to have sauce on my pizza to combine nicely with the cheese and the toppings. The server was accommodating, and reordered the pizza.
I will definitely go back and try their other menu items.

the food was amazing & the atmosphere was chill... the shrimp risotto was delicious && the crab & margarita pizza was good too. The egg w/the runny yolk on the crab pizza was a really nice touch. Overall great experience.
Gary Meyerl
Perfect place to go for a meal after watchung the O's win! Not only is the atmosphere friendly, the attention to detail by our server Wren was exceptional. All that coupled with flavor-filled Risotto and hot and delicious pizzas - you wanna talk about a winning combination. Thank you, Joe Squared!
Suzette Orelien
The food was amazing. Portion sizes were perfect if not more and everything was fresh to order. The staff was very welcoming and gave the place a very comforting and relaxing environment. Would absolutely go there any time we visit Maryland again.
Cindi Brown Horwitz
Best pizza in Baltimore! Have been there many times, and it's always delicious, no matter which kind of pizza you choose. Everything is always so fresh and made the way you like it. Super nice and friendly staff!
Sonja Airhart- Jones
We absolutely loved this place! And Brandon, our server, was awesome! We will definitely return!!!
Tom Gene Alston
This is 🍕 from heaven. As soon as the pie touched the tip of my tongue my tastebuds started making love with each other and I started to milly rock. Every single bite sent vibrations through my body, the pizza literally re aligned my chakras and changed my life. I recommend this to any fellow BBW foodie 😊
Juan C Socarras
Great food and awesome service. Had to stop by after watching on triple D and not disappointed other that they don't have the fried ravioli anymore. Definitely going to be a regular stop every time we're in town.
Ashley Victoria
Food was great, drink selection was awesome and staff was wonderful! Definitely recommend Joe Squared and will visit again when we're back in town!!
Quiana S Johnson
I was there for the Pub & Paint and I enjoyed the painting and atmosphere; however, the food was very disappointing! The pizza was burned and the fries had no flavor.
Andy J Kapochus
Well worth the trip!! Saw it on one of the food networks and saved it In case I came to Baltimore. Area looked a little sketch at 1140 at night and parking was tight but close by. Staff was friendly and service was good.
Dave Soper
Waiter was awesome, pizza was perfect, the 57 Chevy drink is the best! Awesome dinner
Kelly Woodson
The food was great. We are visiting from FL and have a special needs daughter (7 yr old) that will only eat round cheese pizza and they accommodated us and the service was excellent.
Bill Pollard
We had an awesome time last night celebrating here with two friends. Everything was outstanding. From the first call to make the reservation and following customer service interactions, to the main server for our table and the other staff, to the food and drinks, to the bartender, etc. - all were incredible.
Ari Halldorsson
Great square pizza, got to even have half and half to try the different specialties. Also had great Vegan options for my girlfriend. Service was brilliant too. I recommend to anyone visiting Baltimore.
