No more vegan options. I was a regular until they decided this

Every time I order Burnbox, I ask myself why don’t I come here more often. Every combination I had is great. My latest - the l crab pizza - was fantastic! I never get a menu pizza; so if you’re creative and enjoy building your own pizza and mixing combinations, this is your spot. Seriously, my crab, bacon and hot honey drizzle pizza was amazing. Plus, I never have to wait long once I arrive at the store. And it’s local/small business. I highly recommend it.

I stopped by BurnBox Pizza on a Thursday afternoon after leaving work early for a wellness appointment. My son’s daycare happened to be closed that day, so we linked up with his godmother for lunch. I gave my toddler a few options — Chipotle, CAVA, honeygrow — but in true toddler fashion, he wanted pizza. And not just any pizza… VEGAN pizza. As a mom of a child with allergies, finding solid vegan kid-friendly options is no small feat.
We initially considered other spots, but nothing hit right until we found BurnBox in Kettering. It’s located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking, and the minute we walked in, I noticed a sign offering a free Plain Jane pizza when you download their app. You already know I paused entry to grab that deal.
The interior is bold and modern — black, white, and red décor, floor lettering that reads “Good Vibes Only,” and an open kitchen where you can watch your pizza being made fresh. The staff was friendly, greeted us immediately, and helped us with our order.
We ordered the vegan “Plain Jane” for my son and “The Godfather” pizza for the adults. Total was $23.44 before tax/tip. I appreciated the extra touch — once the pizzas were ready, we were asked if we wanted additional toppings. I added some Old Bay to ours and oregano to the vegan pizza.
My toddler loved his pizza so much he prayed over it mid-bite and almost finished the whole thing. That says a lot!
Midway through our meal, I decided to try the wings — 8 wings for $11.49 (half buffalo, half honey lemon pepper). The buffalo wings were my favorite — crispy, juicy, oven-baked, and flavorful without being drenched in sauce. The honey lemon pepper was more of a dry rub but still tasty.
Final thoughts: ✔️ Kid-approved (which is tough!) ✔️ Vegan-friendly options ✔️ Reasonably priced ✔️ Clean, fast, and welcoming atmosphere ✔️ Bonus: For every pizza you purchase, BurnBox donates one to someone in need — I LOVE a business with a purpose!
BurnBox is officially added to our list of go-to spots — especially when I need a vegan pizza option for my son at parties or gatherings. Definitely worth the visit!

I hate to burst anyone’s bubble who used to go to the community staple that is burnbox, but this location has switched management and is no longer managed by right people. It now shares management with the smoothie king a few doors down. I went just this past week to get a pizza I had loved prior to the change (the NAMESAKE pizza) and the person making the pizza didn't even know the basics of what was on it. The pizza was just alright, and I could count how many pepperonis were on it with my fingers (I wish a took a picture of the crime of a pizza I received). Safe to say I was disappointed and will not be returning to this location.

Hello Hunny Bees!! 🌻🐝 👑 💛💕It's your girl Hunny back with a review of another local small business.
***UPDATE**** They are no longer serving vegan options or gluten free 😔 sadly.
Upon walking in I received a warm welcome 🤗. Y'all know I'm big on customer service ❤️. They were playing Luther!! That set the mood for me to order my pizza 🍕. I decided on cauliflower crust with plant lovers on top. Y'all know I been trying to manage the diabetes and high blood pressure so this is a real treat. Y'all they have something for everyone!! They have meat lovers all types of seafood, vegetables and vegan cheese!!! They have wings 🍗 and salad 🥗 I hate to report that the floors were a little unkept 😔 but it was only one Pizzaiolo so she was stretched thin. The tables were clean. My pizza tasted amazing 😋 🤤. There is plenty of parking it's easily accessible and just a cool vibe. I came here for lunch and I dined in. The Pizzaiolo was so sweet and ensured I was enjoying my experience that really made me feel valued! The service was fast and I was so busy vibing to Luther the 5 minute wait was enjoyable ❤️ I will definitely be back!!!
I forgot to mention they are givers of a great cause that everyone deserves to eat!!! How awesome is that!!!!
Check them out and tell them Hunny sent you 💞💫

My wife and travel a lot and we have fallen in love with burnbox Pizza. But what makes the one in Watkins Park Md. are the people that take pride in what they do. Not just making pizza's! Making friends by treating everyone that walk’s through the door feel like lifetime customers. The manager Ryan and his team treated me like family without knowing me. This is a rare gift in this society. Thank you Burnbox and Ryan for cultivating an experience like my wife and I just had. You have me for life!
My first time to BurnBox. Kept passing by it in the parking lot heading to another establishment. I was akways stopping to allow pedestrians to cross. They always had pizza boxes. I thought, i need to go in there, it must be good. The owner himself fixed my pizza. Call had to call back after I had eaten it to tell him how good it was and I would surely be back. Good taste! Got the naked wings as well. Reasonable prices.

It's day 5 of trying to locate my refund I requested on November 15th in store. Instead, the owner wants to argue. He wasn't trained in customer resolution, so I would not spend my money here if I were you. I will be posting and coming back daily with an update about my refund.

Fatima was welcoming and friendly. A lot of people came in at one time and she attended to everyone as soon as she was able to. She shouldn’t be by herself though. Great employee.

Ordered a pizza, but 40 minutes later it was not ready and I was promised 20-25. The girls that work there are very slow. Cooking one pizza at a time and there were 3 of them. I initially left after observing them preparing the Pizza. The dough was touching their clothes, The one girl who took my order touched the screen and proceeded to touch the dough with the same gloves. I was disappointed and disgusted, and left without the pizza.
