Fortunato Brothers Pizza of Towson
6374 York Rd, Baltimore, Parkville,
As a New York native, I was utterly disappointed when I moved here and couldn't find a decent slice of pizza. Well, thank the Gods for Fortunato's. Not only does it taste like a pizza should taste, the prices are incredible compared to other Baltimore pizzerias. I get a large pie, half pepproni, for just over 10 bucks! While other independent pizza joints charge upwards towards 15 for a cheese pie that's the size of a Domino's pizza and just as tasteless.

Nacho Mama's
2907 Odonnell St, Baltimore, Parkville,
Great food, enormous portions, good prices, and an eclectic hometown Baltimore atmosphere. What more could one ask for? Try the Jambalaya special. It's a HUGE mound of food, completely covering the plate. Absolutely delicious! If you like it spicy, you have about 6 or 7 different hot sauces on the table, with varying degrees of heat. Will definitely be coming back!

The Cheesecake Factory
201 E Pratt St, Baltimore, Parkville,
First time at the Cheesecake Factory was not a great one. Service was not very good. Two out of three dinners was served lukewarm and had to be sent back/although when they brought it back to our tables it was hot and tasty. Had to ask three times to have a "Happy Birthday" sung for my son - took a long time for them to finally do this. The waitress didn't light the candle until after they finished singing. Had to ask two times for a glass of water and waited a significant amount of time to get it. Food was good. Wouldn't go out of my way to go back and pay the price of parking to go there but if I happened to be in the area I may try their lunch /sandwiches. Our wait time was not bad - only had to wait 1/2 hr. before being seated on A Sunday evening.
