Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Columbia

"If you need a lot of bang for your buck Matthews Pizza is the place for you. Consistently voted the best pizza in Baltimore, this neighborhood joint has been open for 76 years this November and has recipes that have lasted almost as long. If the ideally priced and amazingly delicious pizza isn’t enough to keep you coming back for more, the staff always treats you like family and will remember you each time you come back (and you’ll be coming back a lot)."

"As are many Baltimoreans, I am deeply partial to the Matthew's Pizza crab pie," David Simon told The Baltimore Sun in 2014. About the Highlandtown pizzeria's deep-crust, crab-topped pizza, Simon, the former Sun reporter and creator of “The Wire,” said, "[It's] unlike anything that calls itself pizza anywhere in the world.”. The secret of Matthew's success lies with ovens that are cranked up to 650 degrees."

"Topping the list is Chaps Pit Beef, a local staple that has appeared in “The Wire,” as well as on “No Reservations” with Anthony Bourdain and “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” with Guy Fieri. It’s best known for the pit beef sandwich: roast beef on a bun topped with onions and “tiger sauce” made from horseradish and mayonnaise. Other smoked meat choices are corned beef, turkey, ham and sausage."

"Some of the area’s best beef is found right next to a strip club, which to many Baltimoreans is a joke that never gets old. At Chaps Pit Beef on Pulaski Highway, meat comes thinly sliced, smoky, charcoal-cooked, served with spicy tiger sauce. There are other, strip club-free locations in Aberdeen and Frederick, and another coming to Rehoboth, Del."

"This is the go-to stop for pit beef, Baltimore's take on barbecue – thinly sliced top round grilled over charcoal. Park and follow your nose to smoky mouthwatering goodness, and get that beef like a local: shaved..."

"My husband and I frequent The Capital Grille all over Maryland/DC. This was our first visit to the Baltimore location, and we were not disappointed."

"Enjoy southern-inspired fine dining with a side of soulful jazz. Each week Next Phaze hosts events like karaoke Wednesdays, soulful Fridays and acoustic Thursdays."

"Whether you’re situated in Lake Walker or another part of Baltimore, look for places tagged with one “$”, like Sun Hing Chinese Food Carryout in South Baltimore, New China II in Hampden, Mandarin Taste, New Generation Hot Pot 新时代火锅, and China Fun, to find your more affordable options."

"Over in the Inner Harbor, check out sweetgreen, a chain restaurant which has earned 4.5 stars out of 117 reviews on Yelp. You can find the vegetarian spot, which offers salads and more, at 1306 Fleet St."

"My only concern was the bag that carried our salads (2) broke at the bottom and my salad came open and spilled on the floor."

"For vegetarian Chinese delivery, consider ordering from Delhi Woks in Charles Village, Four Seasons Chinese Food and Sandwiches in McElderry Park, Sweet Home Jamaica in Brooklyn, and China Express in Abell."

"It took a while, but this outpost of the famed Brooklyn pizzeria by the same name finally opened to much fanfare this past summer. The former Hampden Republican Club has been transformed into a Neapolitan-style pizza lover’s haven with ample wood paneling, two straight-from-Italy wood-burning ovens, and a bar tucked away in the back. An impressive list of 31 pizzas includes a variety of creative toppings (Meyer lemons, local brisket, hot chile oil) and an entire vegetarian section."

"Paulie Gee’s in Hampden offers a full menu of vegan pizzas that are just as good as the non-vegan options. Try toppings like cashew ricotta, vegan sausage and vegan beetballs. And don’t forget to head past the wood fired oven in the middle of the restaurant to find the hidden bar in the back for local beer and top notch cocktails."

"Next up, this brewery has a little bit of history, by which we mean that it is located at Old Oriole Park. An interesting fact about Peabody Heights Brewery, they are the largest brewery in Baltimore City. They have a tasting room in which you can taste some brew, and if you decide to take the brewery tour, you will get some history on Old Oriole Park."

"In Upper Fells Point, one of Baltimore’s newest breweries is perhaps its most unique. The Ministry of Brewing operates from within the cavernous former St. Michaels Church at 1900 East Lombard Street. The business opened in February 2020, just weeks before the pandemic shutdown, but by the grace of some deity, it has persisted."
