Fortunato Brothers Pizza

Last week after having a fine needle biopsy of my knee which was very painful I was in the mood for a huge calzone to take home so that I would not have to stand in my kitchen and cook after my procedure. Because Vito's was closed unfortunately I drove over to the nearby strip mall and saw another authentic Italian place called Fortunato so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a calzone with pepperoni to go. Was very excited because is the calzone was humongous if not enormous. However that evening when I heated up a piece of it in the microwave and began to eat my excitement went to immediate disappointment. There was way too much ricotta cheese which made the dough soggy, very little mozzarella cheese and barely a speck of pepperoni. I decided I could not eat this. The next day I drove from downtown Baltimore where I live all the way up York Road back to fortunato's to return the calzone that I could not eat. The gentleman working there was the one who made my cows on the day previously. I was very polite and tender with my concern about the food and at first I could feel that he was a little agitated. But I did not back down I continue to be polite and explain to him I would be happy if they could just Exchange the uneatened calzone for an Italian sub. He agreed and I was really glad afterwards that I took the time to go back and have the food item exchanged. The Italian sub was so delicious never mind it being enormous and humongous as well just as the calzone was. I'm really happy that the gentleman working at fortunato's took my concerns seriously and was willing to exchange my own eaten order for something that I could actually eat. For this reason I will return to Fortunato and most likely get an Italian sub because it was very enjoyable a must try!

During my first brief visit I was very impressed by how the two person staff navigated an issue with the card machine with customers. The pizza is outstanding, with a homemade crust (you can taste it), and balanced cheese blend. I only wished that I asked for more sauce on the wings.

The Food was Good. Service was top notch. Pizza made fresh, and exactly how I asked them to prepare it and dress it up.

Great neighborhood place. Love their tomato bread, & tasty pizza. Everyone in my family has their favorites. So glad they accept credit cards now and offer delivery!! (Also very pleased with how they handle my cheese allergy. Always make me a custom cheeseless pizza and clean the cutting wheel before it touches my pizza.) By far the tastiest pizza along this stretch of York Rd.

Juli is just plain wrong. Everyone has preferences but to say it's "gross" is unfair. The food is really good and the guys who own/run it are some of the nicest people I've encountered these days in a business. Their prices are good, their ingredients are fresh and the servings are big. Juli must have gotten burned and is out for blood because she is just plain wrong. Give these guys a try, they have really good food.
