Iggies Serves Pizza and Pets in the Mt Vernon Area of Baltimore, MD

My friend Andrew Lowrey, owner of Precise Home Management, invited me to see his fantastic home in Baltimore. (More about how he converted this four-story, 4,000 sq. ft. town home into a marvelously creative environment another time.) The address is 1007, but I am calling it the 007 house because it just fits with Andrew's wonderful English accent.

Not only did Andrew invite me to tour his home but we also had lunch at Iggies just a short block away near the corner of Calvert and Read Streets in the heart of the Mt. Vernon area. Along the way, we passed a home with a bright flag and a window box of brilliant geraniums – so pretty!

I have one word to say about Iggies...DELICIOUS! It's a very cute place with seating at individual tables or very casual at the long high community table. They feature fresh homemade dough and the freshest of ingredients - thin crust and very yummy pizza. We had a Verdura and a Diavalo, just two of the delicious possibilities. Andrew served me with a smile in this self-service place.

One special feature of Iggies - they have a water station for your pets. Inside, there is a wall of photos of Iggies' four-legged friends. Since my friend Peg's next book is The Dog Lover's Book of Days, I think we'll have to come back here to find dog lovers who are also pizza lovers.
