State Bank of Trappe Pizza

Easily the best pizza in Talbot county and worth the drive from Easton, Oxford, or Cambridge. The restaurant is a converted old bank with the big steel door and all of the pizzas are named after famous bank robbers. The ingredients are fresh and the crust is crispy and light, so hard to find pizza on the eastern shore that is not doughy with rubbery cheese. Good work Trappe Pizza Co!

The space has potential. An old bank building with charm. Pizza good, but the paper thin crust does not stand up at all and is soggy. Fries were good and appeared homemade. Wings seemed breaded and almost baked rather than fried. Prices are reasonable except for salads which are way overpriced for the blandness and portion.
The biggest complaint is the small bar shares the space with the dining room. We were there early on a Friday evening and we probably counted 50+ f-​bombs from bar patrons while there were several families with young children sitting right there. The staff/​owner needs to step up and ask those people to tone it down. Definitely would never return with my family for dinner because of this.

I have been there a few times first couple had the pizza, the tomato basil and mozz pizza was very good, last couple if times I have been hooked on the thai chicken sandwich, I loved it. atmosphere is nice, side salad so-​so drink prices decent. I would love the thai chicken as a pizza

The pizza was edible. At best. The few non-​pizza options were not… Perhaps the owner should have stuck with what she knows: steak. Skip the disappointing fare and head on across the street to Brenda Tighe’s other establishment, Mitchum’s Steakhouse, for a truly outstanding meal.

Pretty darn good pizza! properly crisp crust. Oddly sliced pie but that is not a problem. Convenient to eat with knife and fork (proper form) or folded (American/​Philistine form). Choice of several draft beers or bottles. Good experience overall. Would recommend without hesitation.

We totally fell in love with this establishment. It’s not your typical pizza joint. The interior décor is great, a lot of thought went into preserving the original architectural features of the building. The exposed brick walls, to the copper bar and the original windows added so much charm.
Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. She suggested a few options which we throughly enjoyed. The pulled pork sandwich was scrumptious and the Margherita Pizza was the best we have ever had. The perfect blend of house-​made mozzarella, fresh basil, and sauce. You can’t the prices!
If you are in the area or just passing by on your way to the beach, it’s definitely worth checking out!

Meh. I’m being generous. I’m wavering between a 2 & 3. Went here the other evening after my siblings’ graduation from Salisbury University. My parents had heard of the opening, they staged a robbery for it! The bank (State Bank of Trappe) had been robbed back in the 30’s.
Cool place, old original glass in some of the windows, ceiling is different, painted a nice color. LOVE the bar that wraps all the way around the restaurant. Bathroom is cool, I think it’s the old money vault! Exposed brick & wood floors. Funky lighting & a sense of a unique atmosphere.
BUT … so many things are slightly off. Either the bar is too low or the stools too high. You’re smushed underneath. They have one cool old wooden table, but the rest are these new-​age plastic, fake-​wood things. They seem to have poked a hole through the glass window for some sort of antennae? The wings were served in those standard red plastic baskets with tissue paper. Drinks are in these giant green coke glasses that are odd.
I get that it’s a pizza joint — but so many aspects are slightly higher scale — I guess I was expecting the theme to be followed. I’d get more old wooden tables & scrap the red plastic & old green coke glasses that don’t fit the theme.
Now for the food. We ordered 3 pies, wings, & a salad. We’re all New Yorkers (and therefore self-​appointed, all-​knowing pizza judges) and happen to know that often when we order pizza outside of New York we wind up with a soupy mess, so we reiterated that we did not mind waiting, we prefer our pizzas well-​done. We’re talkin’ crispy.
Unfortunately, the pizzas were not so. They came out wayyy too fast, or perhaps the oven in the kitchen doesn’t get hot enough (?). The slices were difficult to hold, we wound up eating with a mess, basically. Cheese falling off, unable to hold a slice with 4 hands, let alone 1 or 2. Eating it with a knife & fork (not the proper way to eat a slice!).
But there were some good things too. They have it almost right. They make their own house mozzarella (impressive!), the veggies on our pies were fresh & yummy, and certain slices had the right crispiness in small areas.
Ultimately I say that you have to try it out, and it should be kept in mind that the restaurant is fairly new. Staff is super friendly, atmosphere is neat, prices are great! A Margherita Pie is $ 8.49, and craft beers are $ 4.59! They serve Scottish Highland Creamery (Oxford) ice cream, which is awesome! I love when small businesses work together.
