The Best House Pizzeria: the Answer to Late Night Cravings
Posted by Samantha Lazar on February 4, 2010
Back when it first opened in 1939, The Best House Pizzeria was called “Wurst House” and was known for serving German meats like bratwurst. By the time I first discovered it the shift had been made to pizza, but the name was the same. A few years ago it changed hands, though, and the new management cleverly switched the name to “Best House” (har har har).
It’s still the go-to pizza place for the eastern end of Baltimore Avenue, especially late at night – it’s open until 1 a.m. on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends. The pizza is your standard pie, with a thin crispy crust, and will hit the spot if you’re not looking for something fancy. There’s also a huge menu of steaks, sandwiches, pastas, sides, and even breakfast platters. Their new Asian-inspired menu is definitely worth trying, including their Chinese Pizzas which come slathered in your favorite Chinese food sauces, like General Tso’s, Sesame Garlic, and Orange Ginger.
The truly awesome thing about Best House, though, is the beer selection. There are hundreds of bottles, ranging from imports to local microbrews. You’re free to mix and match, creating your own 4- or 6-pack (or go the true college student route and grab a couple of 40’s).
They currently have an online promotion going: order on campusfood.com and enter the key code TBH3222FC9 for $3 off your order!
