Baltimore, Maryland's Italian Disco has that "it" factor many restaurants seek. The restaurant serves Italian fare and tunes straight out of the '70s and '80s, giving it an old-school flavor with modern energy. There's a DJ spinning tracks, hot pizzas coming out of the oven, and drinks flowing from the bar.

Owned by brothers Alex and Eric Smith and their partners, Italian Disco isn't your average pizzeria with checkered tablecloths and chianti-bottle candles. The previous pizzeria where Italian Disco now sits used a machine to hand press their thin and crispy dough, and that wouldn't cut it for Julian Marucci, chef partner at parent company Atlas Restaurant Group.
