There are plenty of spots to pick up a pizza in Frederick, MD, and just about everyone has a favorite. It was tough to choose, but we put together our list of the local joints in the area serving up the best pizza. Have a look below and let us know if we forgot one of your local favorites. 1.     Belisario's Pizza A locally-owned joint serving the area since 2000, Belisario's has some delicious grub. One exciting menu item here is their pizza bagels. They can prepare any of your favorite pies on a bagel for a smaller meal for one. As far as specialty pizzas go, give their chicken bacon ranch pie a try; it won't let you down. And if you've got a sweet tooth, take home an order of their fried dough balls with cinnamon sugar. 2.     Il Forno Pizzeria Voted the best pizzeria by Frederick Magazine and The Frederick Post, Il Forno is a local favorite. Their pizza is baked to perfection in a wood-burning oven imported right from Italy. And what makes a better pairing with pizza than a plate of wings? They've got almost a dozen flavors for you to taste, so you'll be coming back to try them all. For our vote, there's no beating the tangy kick of the Caribbean Jerk wings. more 3.     Pistarro's You know you were getting an authentic taste when the oven at Pistarro's was hand-crafted over in Naples, Italy, before being shipped over to fire up your pies. They've got an interesting selection of specialty pizzas. If you like a Hawaiian-style pie, you'll love Pistarro's take on the classic with their Ananas pizza. It comes with tomato sauce, pineapple, pork belly, jalapeno, and mozzarella. 4.     Pasquale's Pizza and Restorante This family-friendly eatery serves up food in the New Market Commons Shopping Center. They've got a delectable selection of starting dishes, from breaded mushrooms to spicy buffalo wings. Pasquale's cooks up a delicious New York-style pizza with an authentic taste. If you're looking for something different, try getting your favorite toppings in a stuffed pizza instead. Or give one of Pasquale's tasty subs a try. We sure weren't disappointed by the chicken cheesesteak. 5.     Pretzel and Pizza Creations One of the best things about pizza is that it goes with just about anything. Here's a combo we hadn't tried before, but we loved: pizza and fresh, soft-baked pretzels! You've probably never had a pretzel calzone before if you haven't been to Pretzel and Pizza Creations. Do yourself a favor and stop by to try one. The crunchy pretzel shell filled with sauce, cheese, and all your favorite toppings is a taste like no other.   Now you know where to go to get a tasty pie without having to go far from home. And for where to go to browse a great selection of used vehicles or schedule an appointment with a top-notch service team, check us out at DARCARS Used Car & Service Center of Frederick!

Beans and Bagels do bagels right, and you won't find many better-tasting bites no matter where you look. They've got a wide variety of toppings and flavors for their bagels, but if you can't decide on just one, go for an everything bagel smeared with cream cheese. The mix of tastes blends together beautifully. 2.    Glory Doughnuts Maybe you want something a little sweeter to kickstart your morning? Try a doughnut from Glory Doughnuts! Baked fresh daily. You'll love the crispy outer shell surrounding a doughy delight inside. They've also got plenty of more savory breakfast offerings, from huevos rancheros to the tofu fried egg sandwich. The entire menu at Glory Doughnuts features plant-based food, making it the perfect breakfast destination for anyone with a vegetarian or vegan diet. more 3.    Café Nola This local favorite serves up excellent breakfast fare prepared from organic ingredients. They've got all the breakfast staples available, but our recommendation has to go to the French toast. Café Nola doesn't give away its secret recipe, but whatever they prepare the French toast with gives it a sweet taste you won't forget. For something with a savory flavor, go for the lox benedict, served with a helping of crispy breakfast potatoes. 4.    Frederick Coffee Co. and Café Open seven days a week; this cozy café can be a stop every day in your morning schedule. They've got lots of fun breakfast snacks like the Oinkin' Rooster Bagel, scrambled eggs and sausage with swiss cheese and honey mustard served on an everything bagel. Of course, the coffee gives this place its name, and it doesn't disappoint. Each of their selection of roasts gives you full and hearty flavors with each sip. 5.    Hootch & Banter Serving the area since 2015, Hootch & Banter has established itself in the local community with its outstanding service and scrumptious food. Stop in for the Montreal Breakfast, with breakfast fries, corned beef, gruyere cheese, cheddar curds, gravy, and a pair of eggs served sunny-side up. The French toast also puts a unique twist on the breakfast classic stuffed with strawberry cream.   Each of the picks above serves up meals that will give you the energy you need to get through whatever's on your agenda.
