" I must say, East Side Pizza never fails to impress! I've been eating here for years and it just keeps getting better. The new seasonal menu choices are exquisite! I tried their seafood linguine last week, and the balance of flavors was heavenly. The portion was huge; I took half home! I also appreciate that the staff knows the menu inside out. When I had questions about the dishes, my server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become my go-to Italian spot! The pizza is just like the ones I used to have back in New York. The crust has the perfect amount of crispiness and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Plus, the garlic knots are a must-try! They’re warm, fluffy, and paired with a marinara that I can’t get enough of. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I have visited several times now and I’ve never had a bad experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love this place, but the last time I went, I felt like the quality wasn’t what it used to be. The pizza had a great crust, but the toppings seemed insufficient, and it didn’t have the wow factor I was expecting. Maybe it was just a bad night for the kitchen, but I have my reservations about returning. Hopefully, they can regain their edge because I really enjoyed East Side Pizza before this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to East Side Pizza was fantastic. The array of Italian offerings was impressive! I chose the chicken parmesan, and it was perfectly cooked – tender with a crispy coating, served with a delightful tomato sauce. The portion was hefty enough to take home leftovers, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable; a great place for both families and couples. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice little spot with delicious food! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and I loved the Italian music playing in the background. My only complaint would be the time it took for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait once it did! The chicken Parm was fantastic, and I can’t recommend the tiramisu enough for dessert. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at East Side Pizza was decent, but not life-changing. The atmosphere is nice, but my meal was somewhat lackluster. The marinara sauce on my pasta was overly sweet, which wasn't to my taste. The service was polite, though a bit slow during peak hours. I believe a revisit is warranted to explore their pizzas instead; possibly a different dish will change my initial impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried quite a few Italian restaurants, but the experience I had at East Side Pizza was remarkable! The breadsticks were fresh and warm, and I was especially satisfied with my main course—the shrimp scampi was heavenly and had a generous amount of shrimp. The service was impressive; our waitress was very attentive. Overall, this restaurant is going to be a regular spot for my family! " (*Curated Review*)
