East Side Pies is finally way North ! And what is not to love? They may have one of those perfect cheese and sauce and crust combos I've ever had. The flavor of their sauce is Tangy yet really strong with the tomato flavor. There's a nice rich taste from the cheese that's melted perfectly. and of course the foundation of all is the crust. This crust is beyond crispy its exact right texture its exact right crispiness with just the absolute hint of a little bit of chewy. they are my number one go-to for By The Slice Pizza in Austin hands down

Been eating here for years. I love y’all but PLEASE tell the new hire NO SAUCES ON TOP OF DELIVERY PIZZAS. Second week in a row this happened.

OMG this is the BEST gluten free pizza in Austin that I’ve had since moving here in 2010. East Side Pies did not disappoint these native Chicagoans! We ordered the Gluten Free “Stagger Lee” pizzas. Great sauce, fresh ingredients like big sized slightly spicy pepperoni, homemade Italian sausage and beautiful veggies all baked to perfection! La pizza e molto buona!!!

I can't speak for the other locations because this is the only one I've been to, but they always come in clutch at this particular branch of East Side Pies. While I can think of so many examples of this, from reopening the cash drawer for me late in the shift because I'm having issues with one of my cards, to staying open late to make a pizza for me because I accidentally ordered pickup at the wrong location, & these are just the easy to describe examples. They generally have an all-around good vibe here. However, the reasoning for why I believe that you'll always have a good experience here all boils down to one simple fact. They truly care about the customer here. *Side Note - Maybe some of you will judge me for this, but I'll give mad respect to any pizza joint in America that still has anchovies on their menu in 2025

The pizza here is really, really good. It definitely meets the standard of what we know New York style pizza to be. Nothing more nothing less. And that's what I like. Good old-fashioned New York style pizza. The crust is crispy on the edges and not tough at all in the center. The atmosphere is great. Again, nothing extravagant. Just a good old-fashioned Pizza joint. They have a buy 1 slice get one free special right now Monday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the slices are big. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some good old-fashioned New York style pizza. Thank you for reading my review! God bless you all!

The Lu' is delicious (Canadian bacon, jalapeno, and pineapple). All of their pizza is thin crust. Choices are by the slice, 14" pizza or 18" pizza. Staff was very friendly and pizza was ready quickly. The didn't even charge us for two sides of ranch (normally 50 cents apiece). Had a great experience here.
