" I had my first encounter with this pizza place this past week. Ordered the pepperoni pizza and was pleasantly surprised by its taste. The crust was thin and crispy without being too greasy, and the toppings were fresh. The service was commendable as well; the staff answered all my questions about the menu with a smile. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit longer than expected for my order. Otherwise, I plan to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Albanian, I must say the burek here rivals what I grew up eating in Albania! The taste is authentic with a flaky pastry, and the fillings are generous. I’m super picky with food, but Side By Side did not disappoint. The pizza was also good, though I preferred the burek. The service was average as I waited longer than expected to try, but the food made up for it in flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for lunch and boy, was I satisfied! The pepperoni pizza was delightful with a great balance of cheese and toppings. Plus, the service was quick despite a lot of people. I love that the environment is so laid back; perfect for grabbing a quick bite. The only minor setback was the sidewalk outside being a bit messy, but it didn’t ruin my experience. Overall, a solid pizza place worth returning to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Side By Side Pizza & Burek! The pizza is not only delicious but very authentic, reminding me of my trips to Italy. The portion sizes are generous, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. I really appreciated their attention to detail, especially when I asked for extra toppings. Will definitely be coming back to try the burek next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went here based on all the great reviews and while it was okay, it wasn’t as amazing as I expected. The pizza had nice toppings, but something was off with the crust—it felt soggy. The staff was pleasant and I loved the friendliness of the owner, but I left feeling slightly underwhelmed. I may try again just to see if it was an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Side By Side! Their crispy crust pizza is simply amazing, bursting with flavor. They infused so many fresh ingredients that each bite was packed with goodness. The service was prompt, and the employees were super friendly. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean everything was despite being a busy spot. Looking forward to trying the burek next time!
