B.O.P. Review

Overall Review

Brick Oven Pizza (B.O.P) is a neighborhood favorite in Fells Point, Maryland.  Always busy and bustling, this pizza place is sure to make everyone happy.  You can build your own pizza or your own slice of pizza.  There are lots of meats, cheeses and veggies to choose from as toppings.  If you are adventurous and have heavy pockets you could order the 52 topping pizza for the bargain price of $179.00.  Yes, that’s right, you heard us, $179.00.  We looked at each other and said that pizza better come with gold flakes.  If you don’t want pizza, salad or wings, they also offer pasta and over-sized wraps.  BOP is perfect for grabbing a quick bite after spending some time in the Fells Bar Scene, considering that it is open until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. The rest of the week it is open from 11am to 11pm. But above and beyond that, it is just the only place to go if you are craving the best wings in the State of Maryland, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Go it alone or meet up with friends. Take the kiddies out for a treat. Basically an all purpose spot. Parking… well what can we say, it’s Fells. Basically it’s catch as catch can. Parking is street, all around and is paid, and you may have to walk a bit (across cobblestones, so ladies, you might want to bring flats), but it is worth the hassle. Overall we give B.O.P ♪♪♪.

Crab, Red Pepper and Mushroom Pizza

This slice was pretty plain.  They put on a good amount of crab, however the crab, mushrooms and red peppers were just thrown on top of a slice of cheese pizza.  It did not seem to come together all that well. 

Bar-B-Q Chicken Pizza with Cilantro

This slice of pizza was much better crafted.  They used Bar-B-Que sauce instead of tomato sauce and they layered the chicken with the cheese.  The cilantro on the other hand was just laid on top of the pizza.  The flavors were delicious, tasty and very robust.  The thin crust was nice and we love the fact that the pizza was not greasy.

Ultra Veggie Salad

This is one of our favorite salads.  There are a lot of veggies in this salad: romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, eggplant, mushrooms,  radishes, carrots, green and black olives, onions, capers, broccoli and tomatoes.   All of the ingredients are fresh, crisp and yummy.  The portion size is huge!

Wings

Ok everybody...deep breath....  These wings are crunchy like potato chips, juicy, seasoned to perfection, and the most delicious wings you have every had.  They are almost as good as Gus' Chicken in Memphis..Almost.  Lol.  Please make sure you try the wings.  They are served with hot sauce and your choice of blue cheese or ranch.

Brick Oven Pizza aka BOP, is one of my all time favorite dives in Maryland.  It is a small and unassuming little spot in fells point.  The atmosphere is eclectic and youthful.  However you will find folks of all ages enjoying this yummy food.  Their specialty is pizza, however their wings are where it’s at!  The pizza is not bad.  Their thin crust and light sauce make for a light and not too heavy treat.  Their toppings are diverse and creative.  I love that fact that you can order your pizza whole or by the slice.  Most places that allow you to order by the slice limit what you can have on it.  At BOP you can build your own slice and you can put whatever you want it on it.  Ok…now the best part!  BOP’s fried wings, HOLY COW…ummm (clearing throat), HOLY CHICKEN, those wings are AMAZING!  They are plump, seasoned to perfection, dipped in a liquid batter to hold in all the juices, super-juicy, tender, super-crunchy and heaven in your mouth!  Those wings make you have to grab the table to stop from swooning and falling out of your chair.  Those wings make you pee your pants.  Those wings make you want to scream out with pleasure.  Did I mention the wings are AMAZING?  My goodness….those wings!  For the love of all that is scared, please, please go and try those wings; I’m begging you.  You will not be disappointed!  If you feel the least bit guilty about ordering the wings make sure you order their Ultra veggie salad.  This salad is chock full of yummy veggies that just have to erase all the naughtiness of wings.  This salad is truly wonderful.   My other favorite thing about BOP is the home made Italian sodas you can get in a myriad of different flavors ranging from passion fruit to Irish Cream.  I’m not a soda drinker, yet I find these are light and refreshing.  I love BOP, and even though this is a dive I have to give them ♪♪♪. 

Angela's Review

This is one of our favorite spots to grab some fantabulous wings.  They just might be the best I’ve ever tasted. They have literally ruined me for other wings. Okay, okay, I am done raving like a lunatic about wings. I am just saying. J Brick Oven Pizza (aka B.O.P) is a little hole in the wall joint located in Fells Point, right on Thames Street, next to the water and along a big square where people walk and musicians set up shop and play. When the weather is nice, it is a great place to people watch and sample a variety of interesting and tasty foods.  The décor is cool, with murals depicting the neighborhood in which it is located, complete with pictures of the surrounding stores and food shops, and colorful maps of Fells Point, with you are here markers, covering the tabletops. You can look right into the brick oven as you order your food which is really fun. In addition to the wings, which are hot, crunchy, tender, juicy and sizable all at the same time (opps, I’m raving again), they have an Ultra Veggie Salad, which is too die for, that we always have to get. I am also fond of the containers of hot sauce and mild blue cheese they set before you as accompaniments (yes, they have ranch, but if you thought I’d want anything but Blue Cheese, all I have to say is, “Hello, have we met?...lol), which perfectly complement the wings. The interesting thing about my love affair with Brick Oven Pizza is that I can’t say I like the pizza much. What I can say is that since I know that everyone’s taste in pizza is different I am not willing to say, based on my own opinion, that YOU will not be impressed with the pizza; after all it is fresh, hot out of the oven, the choice of toppings is endless AND it is called Brick Oven PIZZA, so I say judge for yourself. All in all, I give B.O.P ♪♪♪
