01
Best overall pick
Mak & Ali's Pizza
Downtown North Baltimore • Small-Town Takeout And Delivery Shop • Best Hometown Standby
Friendly, no-frills shop turning out consistently good pies right on Main Street.
Locals lean on Mak & Ali's for weeknight dinners, Friday-night pizza, and everything in between. The crust is sturdy enough to handle plenty of toppings, and the sauce leans classic and comforting rather than trendy. Call ahead on busy evenings: the phones light up fast when there’s a game or school event in town.
02
Quick slice on the road
Pizza Hut Express
I-75 Travel Plaza, North Baltimore • Highway Pizza Counter • Best For Road-Trippers
Grab a hot pie or personal pan pizza without leaving the Travel Center parking lot.
If you are fueling up on I-75 and craving something familiar, this Pizza Hut Express does the trick. It is built for speed, with personal pans and classic sides that come out quickly so you can get back on the road. Think of it as a reliable pit stop rather than a lingering sit-down meal.
03
Old-school downtown pie
Pisanello's Pizza
Downtown Bowling Green • Classic Midwestern Pizzeria • Reliable All-Rounder
Laid-back spot known for generous toppings, value deals, and easy pickup.
Pisanello's has the feel of a long-running college-town pizzeria, with big pies, familiar flavors, and plenty of combo deals. It is a solid choice when you are feeding a group after a day in Bowling Green or heading back to North Baltimore. The thin-to-medium crust and classic topping lineup make it easy to keep everyone happy.
04
Stuffed breadstick must-stop
Campus Pollyeyes
Near Bgsu Campus, Bowling Green • College-Town Pizza And Breadstick Joint • Late-Night Favorite
Hearty, cheesy pies and famous stuffed breadsticks that fuel late nights and game days.
Campus Pollyeyes is a rite of passage for many Bowling Green students and a fun detour for North Baltimore locals. The menu leans indulgent, with thick, cheesy pizzas and over-the-top stuffed breadsticks that can easily serve as a meal. Expect a casual, noisy vibe on weekends and during big BGSU home games.
05
Big-game pizza spot
Beer Barrel Pizza & Grill
East Findlay / Tiffin Avenue Corridor • Family-Friendly Pizza And Sports Bar • Best For Groups And Game Days
Big menu, cold drinks, and thick, shareable pizzas ideal for watching the game.
Beer Barrel is the kind of place where you meet friends, order a couple of large specialty pies, and settle in for the evening. The crust is substantial, toppings are generous, and there are plenty of non-pizza options for picky eaters. It is a short drive from North Baltimore, but the roomy booths and wall-to-wall TVs make it a strong pick when you want pizza and a night out in one stop.
