Pasta Mista ~ Baltimore, Maryland


First visit: Dec 2021 (Canton)

They have a second location in Towson.

I met with my new direct reports for the first time (in person) in the morning. Now it's time for a team lunch, but where to go? The office is in Canton, so I'm not that familiar with the neighborhood. Bo Brooks would have been great, but they are no longer open for lunch. Hudson Stackhouse wouldn't be appropriate. Fortunately one of our team is a resident of Canton. Grew up there as well. His go-to place for an Italian lunch? Pasta Mista. The RJG is always about local, and can't do better than a local recommendation!

Pasta Mista is your classic pizza pasta place, with sandwiches and pizza by the slice. And a welcoming owner. I settled on the meatball parm sub. Excellent bread, meatballs (though I don't think they're homemade - too perfect), gooey cheese, and best of all a slightly sweet tomato sauce to bury it in. I like that they leave the sauce on the side so you can add on each bite as you go. Two of the team (including resident) got the Philly Cheesesteak, which looked awesome. And the other got a huge slice of what they call a Spaghetti Pizza. It's a meal in of itself. She said it was super and took half of it home.

Pasta is an order up at the counter place, with a few tables inside and some more outside. Excellent lunch option if in the area!
