Raffy's on 36th

I went to this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday night. It was a great experience. They are able to make their pizza gluten free, and the people in our group who ate the GF and regular pizzas liked both. They have an alcohol menu/bar, but don’t have a strong bar vibe. It is a good location for families, friends, dates…really anyone. They also have the best music ever in the background. It was a surprisingly delicious pizza experience for a GF person.

They have a vegan pizza w vegan mozz, beyond meat, and suprise tear drop peppers, and chives sounds amazing. The decour was colorful in wood. Brick gray, and aqua blue- will come back. For now settled for crispy brussels. The Accompanying sauce was thin in consistency, mild flavor, and a garlic white sauce or chipotle ailoi would have privoded the missing punch to the brussels. Service on a Sat midday although attentive, could be more friendly in conversation. No bags or utensils for carryout orders, unsatisfactory... But the restaurant is new opened Aug 2025. The growing pains come to all resataurants, how you address, pivot, and evolve determine the longevity

If you’re craving Neapolitan pizza in north baltimore this is a solid spot. Especially if you want something with creative toppings. Some of the appetizers are awesome. The crispy Parmesan potatoes are one of the best apps/small plates I’ve had around town. Make sure you get that. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Reasonably priced on tap wine can’t be beat. Love the roll up door for when it is nice out. Solid addition to Hampden

Raffy’s is artisanal and classy and welcoming AND affordable! The staff are engaging and kind. The drinks are thoughtful- you don’t even miss the booze in the N/A cocktail. The pizza is superb- the dough is ovenbird sourdough and they do something magical to the crust that turns it into garlic bread. My husband who doesn’t do crust ate Every. Last. Bite. Run don’t walk- you will NOT be disappointed!

This pizza is so good, y’all. I’m not always a fan of wood fired pizza, but this is honestly the best crust I’ve ever had. The Big Dill is hands down my favorite, but we also love the Blueberry Brie and the Goat. They have a great happy hour/date night deal. We live just around the corner, so we order takeout pretty regularly, and it’s always ready in 20 or 30 mins. Highly recommend!
