  Went here b/c we wanted something slightly different from the usual close to us.
  
  Rather pumped that we did b/c our server was amazing. She was super friendly to us and our daughter and just kept things lively. She's a rockstar to this restaurant and I'm rather upset I forgot her name. The food was very delicious and I was very surprised of how delicious the salad was. I'm a salad brat and seriously... it was real good.
  
  Overall, I feel like I need to re-integrate this place in to some of our 'places-to-go' rotation as we were very happy with the taste, service, and relative cost. Our waitress was able to get us to order a dessert but I'm not even mad.. it was good too. :)

  We've been searching for a replacement for Ynot  Pizza for a few years and finally tried Eastside Pizza. Actually we tried a pick-up pizza from them years ago before they moved into the larger space at the end, maybe 5 years ago, and it remains one of the best pizzas we ever had. But how about now, in a dine-in setting? Let's find out...
  
  They were busy on a Sunday night, 10/13/19. We had 4 in our party. 2 adults, 2 kids ages 10 and 12. Started with the garlic knots and mozzarella sticks. These were very good and exceptional marinara sauce. A big hit with all. Then the kids split a pepperoni pizza, which they said was good, but not awesome. I had the chicken parm. It was tasty....very good, however somewhat of an underwhelming portion. I expected more for sure. Wife got the seafood mix pasta, and it was missing the melted cheese over it like it's supposed to have. She said it was just okay. Then we ordered the Tiramisu. A rather small portion indeed, and totally missing any coffee flavor alltogether. We still ate it, it was sweet and creamy, but definitely not tiramisu. And the bill came to $95 before tip. Would we go back try again? Indeed...

  Really really really good. If you couldn't tell by my several (reallys), this place is awesome. The pizza reminds me of NYC pizza where you can just a reasonably priced slice. The menu is very versatile. It can go from cheap eats to to expensive eats. From pizza and fries to lasagna. The apps were very good. The service is great. The general manager actually comes around a and talk to people and make sure everyone is doing okay. The waiter was very patient with my kids while they made their order which is always a plus. The decor is also very good, nice rustic feel. Nice full bar with TV's at the bar to watch different sporting events. I've been here several times and it never disappoints. Drinks are very good and reasonably priced. If you're looking for some good pizza or Italian food, then this place is the place to be.
