Carmelo’s: Reviews & Ratings
Best pizza in maryland Service is amazing Ambiance is amazing Highly recommended Please go
Went across the river yesterday to pay a couple of friends back for helping us move a month ago. Since I can't get into their house (darn you steps!), we decided to meet up for pizza. Carmelo's was at the top of their list for favorite spots near Glen Burnie. Jeremy and I arrived early because we weren't sure how long the trip would take now that the Key Bridge is no longer an option. So we got an order of wings and some meatballs. The wings were delightful. They come unsauced (sauce on the side), so they're super crispy. Jeremy said they're right up there with his all-time favorite wings (Pippo's in Middle River). The wings came with fries, which were perfect, though unsalted. The meatballs seem to be homemade. Tender and swimming in a bowl of delicious marinara. When our friends arrived, we ordered a large pepperoni pizza, and Jeremy ordered a cheeseteak. The pizza was incredible. I thought that the amount of grease was going to cause the slice to be soggy, but my slice remained crisp. Jeremy said the second slice he had was a bit more limp, but that was fine since the flavor was so satisfying. While the food was wonderful, the service was a little rude. There was a table of older people in the dining room with us. They had called ahead with their orders and seemed satisfied with their experience. What I'm trying to say is that they weren't any trouble at all, and neither were we, but our server (who is perhaps also the owner/manager) acted like he was being run ragged by customers. Perhaps there were a lot of take-away orders. I think that should be seen as a blessing, but we were rushed to order on our servers timeline while he "had the time." He also spent a great deal of time telling an employee every little task that needed to be accomplished. This is just my imagination at work, but I got the feeling that the employee was the owners/manager's nephew or someone in his family who needs constant supervision. This person sat in the dining room, with a buddy, the entire time, waiting to be told to help customers, clean stuff, take out the trash. The owner's patience with this person suggests the familial relationship, as other yelp reviews also mention this employee lounging in the dining room. I do not like being treated as if I'm a hassle for having the nerve to eat in the dining room, but the pizza was REALLY good.
We have only ordered delivery from Carmelo's. Carmelo's has some of my favorite pizza around here: the New York style pizza. It is really good. However, everything else we have tried has been so-so- the calzones, the appetizers, Chicago-style pizza, etc. We will still add on some staples like mozzarella sticks, but their pizza is really why we keep coming back. Delivery is always punctual, and staff is always friendly. If you're looking for some delicious pizza in the area, I strongly recommend!
