From Chicago, just moved to Austin area. Passing through the airport, decided to try ESP... -My wife swears by this place, but because of a health issue, I couldn't have pizza... until now : ) -I asked the cashier what their best pizza is and she said, "Sausage & pep." So I ordered a slice and a slice of cheese. -Boy am I glad I asked! The sausage was outstanding! It had that nice crumbly consistency and a little fennel thrown in : ) -I got a bonus when I opened my cheese slice. They gave me 2! It is pretty thin, but very tasty : ) -If you're looking for a slice of New York style pizza, you cannot go wrong with East Side. Highly recommended!! read more

I fly in and out of the Austin airport frequently for business. I've unfortunately had this pizza once, never again, no matter how bad I'm in the mood for pizza. It's absolute trash. Even worse is the employee attitudes. Wasn't going to waste my time posting about it. But this today....was definitely worth my time as I wait on my delayed flight. I asked if they would put ice in my reusable cup. They said no that I had to purchase a cup of ice. This cost me $1.50. And of course, the screen asked me if I wanted to give a tip. Unreal. read more

East Side Pies - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you're looking for some slightly overpriced, thin crust pizza, this would be worthy of your credit card. Everything here is by the slice and drink choices are very limited. Just step up to the kiosk and plug in your choices. They'll warm up a slice of already cooked pizza on display, and then you can head to the least dirty table in the immediate area. It's decent airport food and I recommend grabbing a beer from the bar directly across the way. read more

I was in this airport for a quick layover, but it was late at night. Most places were closed except for a few, and this was one of the options. What I will say is that you can get a solid slice here for a pretty decent price especially at an airport. Since it was on later side, the guys here were helpful and took my order directly versus ordering from the kiosk because there were limited slices available. I ended up getting a quick slice of pepperoni because I was pretty hungry. It was solid for sure. The process is more on a thin side and flaky and crispy. The vibe or ambiance here is basically like your normal airport food vendor but it felt newer and pretty nice. read more

I flew into Austin after many hours in the airports and layovers and I'm starving for a piece of pizza. It was disappointing. It was tiny and undercooked. The crust was not thoroughly cooked. And it tasted like someone that was heavy-handed with pepper loaded with black pepper. So disappointed. read more

I should've just waited for my flight. A slice of the only bad pizza I've ever had was $7....its a sloppy burnt cracker with cheese basically. Congrats on serving the worst pizza on the planet jeez lol read more

East Side Pies - Walk down to gate #12 to Salvation Pizza instead! - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not bad pizza. Price was decent considering in airport. First time trying this place and I am a fan. I am not a big thin crust unless it is chewy. Don't like the flat cracker tasting pizza crust. It looked decent, almost NY style so I figured why not. Crust was a nice surprise, light and chewy, but with decent crisp underneath. Could have been just a smidgin thicker since the toppings were fantastic and heavy for that crust. So I ate it NY style folding it. Was a little greasy but that is what I expect when they use real ingredients and it has two meats. Will definitely try the one in Austin for more varieties since not too many options here. Service was awesome with the auto kiosk. Had my slice in less than a minute. read more

East Side Pies - Sausage and pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

I wanted to grab a quick slice before my flight and stopped here. One slice was $7 bucks, which was ridiculous, but whatever. As I sat down to eat it, I quickly realized this was horrible pizza. The worker for some reason gave me an extra slice but it wasn't much better. The pizza was very thin and flimsy and is $1 pizza quality and wouldn't recommend this to anyone! Maybe I'm being extra hard on them because I'm from NYC and surely know what good pizza taste like, however, I surely know, this isn't it! read more

Customer service is a 5/5- the people that work here are nice. Convenience 5/5 - across from the terminals along the main walkway. Near restrooms. Very fast. You can order slices ($6/cheese, $6.50/pepperoni) or you can order a whole pie ($??). There are high top tables right in front of the ordering area. There are no outlets that I could see, but once you're done eating you could go find some near your terminal. Food- 2.5-3/5- I ordered two cheese slices. They were fine. I love pizza, so I'm a little harsh when it comes to my rating of pizzas. I didn't expect to have excellent pizza in an airport, but if I'm going to have not great pizza, I'd rather have something like Sbarro which has more flavor than this. This pizza is thin crust- which I love- I think they are going for a NY style in a sense, but the crust is not NY style. The crust is almost like a cracker. It's super crispy on the edges. The crust under the sauce and cheese is not as crispy as the edges, but I still don't think it's great. The sauce has an average flavor. The cheese is the forward flavor. In any case, if I flew into Austin, were on a layover again, and I REALLY wanted pizza, I'd get it, but I wouldn't be excited about it. Also, THIS IS IMPORTANT!!- because it's so thin, and because there is no doughiness to the crust, it's not very filling. I ordered 2 slices and I'm still hungry. For $12 ($6/slice), definitely not worth that price, but that's what airport food costs, so what are we to do? read more

Sure a slice was $7 which is kind of high but compared to the $20+ brisket sandwich being offered at nearby Salt Lick, $7 felt like a bargain. And I actually found it super tasty too. Some people seemed to complain about the crust being thin but... you can see that before you order it... so I don't get why you would choose to buy a thin crust pizza if you know you won't like it and then slam it... I actually love thin crust pizza, so I was a fan. read more

First off...the brick and mortar Eastside Pies is some of the best pizza in Austin. I am sure if they knew how horrible this one at the airport is ran they would gladly pull out to save their great reparation. Paid at the Kiosk to "make the process go faster". Well apparently the "cashier" wasn't available and none of the non-English speaking workers can read a receipt? The line built up as I stood there for 20 minutes just trying to get someone to hand me my two slices of "hot" pizza like I saw the two people in front of me given. BUT NO...try to finally hand me a piece of greasy cold pizza from the warmer...NO! I'm glad I didn't have a flight to catch for another hour. Airport food should at least be faster than not. WORSE AIRPORT EATING EXPERIENCE EVER. Avoid at all cost. read more

East Side Pies - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

The kiosk in Terminal 4 has absolutely amazing pizza by the slice, some of the best that I've ever had! The crust is both crispy where it needs to be, and soft and foldable (like large Brooklyn-style slices) where it needs to be. The cheese is SO flavorful and juicy, and the pepperoni slices are fresh and huge. Service is super fast, and the price ($7) is very reasonable for airport food. (Another airport pizza joint charges $12 for one stale cheese slice.) Some diners don't seem to understand that this style of pizza is supposed to be juicy and foldable, hence the flabby/cheesy slice tips. Delicious! read more

I got two slices of cheese before my flight and they were the soggiest, limpest slabs of pizza I've ever seen in my life. I pretty much love all pizza but these slices were not okay. read more

Not that great if I'm honest. It's cheaper than the other pizza place in the terminal, but the experience is worse. The crust is REALLY thin and that makes it difficult to eat. It just falls apart under its own wait. Another downside is there just isn't much flavor. I would stay clear personally. read more

East Side Pies - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Flying back home to Chicago, and wanted something to eat before getting on our plane. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, two slices. These are lacking in taste and a ton of grease. The cheese tastes old and the pepperonis were very greasy. We should have passed and waited to get back home. read more

First time ever in Austin. We stopped in for a connecting flight. Thought with pizza you can't go wrong. Workers were unfriendly. We waited and waited for our order. When I finally approached they said they had no pending orders and then I showed my receipt and then they gave me our pizza. Pizza was thin, greasy and almost zero flavor. For the price, we were very disappointed. Hopefully this is seen and they can improve read more

I got a slice of pizza when landing here two nights ago before I left the airport, have the worst food poisoning I've ever experienced...

Got the sausage and pepperoni pizza for dinner last night and ended my vacation with food poisoning that I had to deal with on my 4 hour flight. read more

Oof, that was the greasiest slice of pizza I've ever eaten, but the crust was crispy and it tasted good. Order and pay at kiosk then pick up 2 minutes later. Quick. I ordered a Diet Pepsi at the kiosk, but there was no bottles actually available so I took a Diet Dr. Pepper, not ideal but passable. I'd skip this next time I'm at the Austin airport. I walked past better options. But not bad for airline food, and $11 for pizza and a soda is pretty reasonable for an airport. read more

Thin pizza. Pepperoni cooking food not look consistent. Pie that came out of the oven after I assist got my slice looked more cook like it would have a a better crunch on the pepperoni, whereas mine looks like chewy dough. read more

I just watched an employee exit a bathroom stall next to the location, by pass all the sinks and return to work with out washing his hands. Find another place to eat at this airport. read more

Terrible and over priced. I ordered two slices at 1:00 so they were pretty fresh. Somehow the crust was burned and thin with a potato chip texture. Amazingly the actual crust under the toppings was mushy. Impossible to eat with 1 hand. I am rethinking the saying about pizza and sex, even when they are bad... they are good. This pizza was bad. Anyone giving this pizza 3 stars has terrible taste in pie. Staff was supper helpful and friendly. 5/5 read more

The two stars is for the customer service but I give the pizza three stars. Easy to place your order at the kiosk then wait for your pizza. Stood there for about 5 minutes watching the person behind the counter stare at the pizza ovens but there were pizza slices on the counter. I thought she was waiting on the pizza to warm up or something. She made no eye contact and said nothing. All of a sudden she asked for the customer's receipt in front of me and handed a pizza from the counter. The pizza was think crust and crispy and pretty good for airport food. read more

Shocked at the negative reviews. I can't speak to the customer service which seems to be the main complaint because my wife picked up slices while I watched the bags, it sounds like all they had were cheese slices and pepperoni slices. Looking at photos from the original location and the airport location, these slices looked way more like the ones from the original location than the other photos posted here. Slices the size of your head, thin crust/NY style pizza. I didn't try the cheese, but my wife and daughter both loved their slices. My pepperoni slice was excellent. My wife and I agreed that the pizza was better than our favorite NY-style pizza places at home. Generally airport locations fall short of "normal" locations, but if the airport one was this good, the normal spots have to be some sort of higher plane of pizza heaven. The stripped-down menu is probably a function of COVID and may be why the place is nailing it - they keep it super simple and absolutely crush the two kinds of pie they're making. read more

the pizza was over priced, and tasted terrible, if I could rate it 0 stars I would. There was not enough cheese the pizza itself was too thin. Waste of money. Would not recommend. read more

Horrible service! There is a lady in the area that works at the chicken sandwich shop, maybe the manager for the area, that is extremely rude. I would have to say of all of Austin she takes the cake for worst service ever. If she's working, you probably want to avoid this place at all costs. The food quality and other people are great. If you're in a hurry, probably skip and go to another spot. 1/5 star based on service which contributes to the whole experience, they redeemed themselves with one extra star for the pizza. read more

Probably the worst crust I've ever had in my life and they didn't have any selection of types of toppings! Not even worth wasting your time or money on this! read more

I made my own pizza using their computer screen functionality. The process behind it is pretty cool, but it also created a longer wait. I added italian sausage, roasted garlic, and basil to my pizza. Sadly, I thought my pizza's crust tasted burnt and bitter. The basil was also bruised and all dark, which could have meant that the ingredient sat there for a while. Overall, it's not a bad choice. But considering how much I paid, I was hoping it would have been a better experience. read more

East Side Pies - Sausage basil garlic - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really good pizza! For airport food it beats any pizza I've bought in an airport. I have traveled every week for the past 37 years, so I have eaten a lot of airport food! They serve just cheese and cheese with pepperoni slices. I feel you really get a genuine taste of the pizza if you buy a cheese slice instead of it being covered up with a bunch of toppings. It has a micro thin crust (which I absolutely love) and a flavor packed sauce. Turned another crew member on to East Side, after she had eaten a few bites she wished she bought a second slice. Slice size is very generous and you can fold it and eat it the New York way. I'm not certain if you can add more toppings as I have limited time to get my food and get to the plane. Highly recommend if you want pizza before your flight. This was even better than Ray's pizza in NYC that I reviewed earlier. read more

I love pizza... it's a comfort food and it warms my soul when I am the most uneasy. As much as I love airports, they still make me nervous. So, what do I do when I'm nervous or feeling uneasy? I eat something that makes me feel good and pizza makes me feel darn good! The fams and I got to our gate a couple hours early... yup cuz we're cool like that. We found a spot in front of a food court area and we were directly in front of this pizza spot. The pizzas were made directly in front of us and it was my daughter's first pick, when I asked her what she wanted to eat. Ordering easy through their digital p.o.s system. The wait wasn't long at all. It was a pretty good size for us (3) to share. I'm not going to say that the pizza was incredible, but I'm not going to say it was bad; definitely a strong 4-stars! We got our order in a box, so totally would've been perfect, if we had to take it on the plane with us. If you're looking for other eateries, check out the burger place, chicken sandwich spot and BBQ restaurants within their immediate vicinity. I might be back, whenever at the Austin airport. read more

This is a far cry from actual East Side Pies locations in Austin. I once grabbed a ($14?!) pizza from here to go, and the grease ended up soaking through the box and onto the plane tray table. My deepest apologies to my gracious plane seat neighbor. read more

Are you effing kidding me? I paid $6 for this "sausage" breakfast sandwich. When I opened the package to eat it, I couldn't see the sausage so I pulled off the lid to see this crap. It looks like they took one whole sausage patty, and tore off about 1/4 of it and put it into the sandwich. WTF?? You're charging $6 for a sandwich and you can't even put in the whole sausage patty you greedy mofos. It's one thing to charge a lot for airport food but it's another thing to take advantage of people, showing them a photo of a sandwich with a patty so big you can see it when the buns on are on, but when you actually get the product, it's crumbles that you get. I will not be giving my $$ to greedy local companies like east side pies anymore. {photos posted} read more

Not friendly at all. Apparently the employee called my number to pick up my pizza slice but since I didn't hear her, she was reluctant to give me my pizza! Wow! I was shocked by her totally disregard for customer service. I had my receipt and everything.

If this is any indication of the original I'll pass. Computer kiosk for ordering seemed to take longer than a human and it was hard to customize a specialty pizza ie no onions on a Bucemi.

East Side Pies - This is my slice of pizza. Awful! - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ate a slice at ABIA. If you love soggy thin cardboard with a blob of gooey cheese on it at $6 a pop, then you will love it. They should be embarrassed to call it pizza. Would be better off with a repulsive national chain. They should either make real pizza or close back down. Seriously, thinner than a saltine. Flimsy. No taste. Absolutely disgusting. I'm embarrassed it's at AUS. Gives Austin restaurants a horrible name. read more
