Austin has no shortage of great pizza and while I've tried Home Slice and almost every other heavy hitter in town, East Side Pies stands in a league of its own. There's an authenticity here that's hard to find elsewhere. There's no gimmicks, just a genuine, exceptional taste every single time. The crust is always cooked to perfection, the cheese is super high quality, and the temperature is always spot on. Beyond the food, the crew on Burnet is mad friendly. Their energy is infectious. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and grab a slice. read more

I must be losing my mind. I know made a review for this long ago yet I can't see it. Anyway, I live across the street from the East Side location and am partial to it. However, my dentist is across the street from this spot and I stop in often for lunch since my appointments are usually during work hours. I love the daytime BOGO (slice) because I will get one for lunch and then one for dinner. Service and food here are just as good as my preferred location. The quality never waivers. I read more

Just ordered delivery, so no dining service. Crust was really good. The rest was "meh". Sausage was a bit rubbery and did not have any fennel, a classic Italian ingredient. Not my favorite. read more

Honestly, you have to try it. I love pizza and try it any chance I get. This is the best pizza I have eaten in Austin. There are a lot of spots in Austin that get the Insta/Tik Tok hype, but this location beats them all. read more

East Side Pies is across the street from Toy Joy and when I had some time to kill I went to ESP since I was feeling a little peckish. I've been fortunate enough to go during their BOGO slice special so it let me try two of their slices. The pepperoni was pretty good, which isn't my go to for slices but between a veggie slice I'll take that. The other slice they had available was, for lack of a better term, square sausage. The slice was good! The texture reminded me of pho meatballs which is a good comparison, the flavor was mild but had that springy texture. My most recent visit, I only wanted once slice and it was a quiet weekday so I ended up trying their plain slice and have to say that it was a decent slice with a fair amount of flavor. Glad to have a shop close-ish where I can go get a slice. read more

Clean and neat dining area. First visit had a deli sandwich. Generous portion of high quality meats and cheese. Spicy mayo was good condiment Be back to try a pie. Thin and thick crust versions available. read more

Solid thin crust, NY-style pizza with vegan cheese option! Quick, easy, comforting, decent value, and ultimately satisfying. Minimal parking that can be tight, but hey, it's something. read more

We've loved ESP since long ago when it was just one place in Rosewood. Then it was very nearby. Now worth the drive. The service has always been perfect. Always feel welcome and no wait is too long. I love the Burner location and will order from them if given a choice. Obviously the food is great. read more

I love the crunch of this pizza. All their pizzas are thin crust, New York Style pizzas and they hold up and don't flop. I do wish their pizza sauce carried a bit more of the herbal and garlic flavor as the cheese was expected to carry the entire pie. The venue reminded me of a 70s style diner. It was very clean and well kept. They have a variety of hand held desserts such as brownies, cookies, bars. They have a decent array of local beers to choose from as excellent pairings to the pizza! The staff was very friendly and they give a service member discount. I ordered their jalapeno sausage slice and their pepperoni slice! They are good so I would recommend this place overall. read more

Great neighborhood pizza place and locally owned in Austin. It's an easy place to eat and the owners are always engaged with the diners. Besides, with ESP.....they know what you want. read more

Popped in to try their 2 for 1 Slice Pizza Lunch Special. 11-4. Good, "cracker crust", thin pizza. Had a fresh garden salad. I also saw Subs too. Nice young man who worked the counter said the Meatball Sub was his favorite. I'd like to go back and try one. Good one's are hard to find. They have a variety of beverages. Maine Root, Cane Sugar, fountain drinks. Clean Dining Room, and Rst Rm. read more

My family and I love the thin style pizza at East Side Pies as it gives us more ability to enjoy the delicious toppings without filling up so quick. Today we got a 18" SMORS which was plenty for us and we'll enjoy the rest later while watching football. This location on Burnet is closer to us and has friendly and efficient staff. We fly a lot and it's also a tradition to get a slice at the Austin airport location before flying. read more

They recently stopped accepting cash. I always saved a little cash to come by and hate using a credit card for such a small purchase. They were apparently recently robbed, so now all of us are being punished for the sins of whoever the robber was. Bummer. read more

If you have been to the other East Side Pies in Austin, you know what this East Side Pies is all about. * * * I am not the best Yelper to ask about East Side Pies. a) I am not a fan of thin crust pizza. Thin crust pizza is what East Side Pies does b) East Side Pies' special angle is their exotic sauces. You can get pizzas with black bean sauce, chimichurri sauce, pesto sauce, or served with no sauce except extra virgin olive oil, This is what they do and their reputation should stand or fall on the exotic sauces. Silly old Samuel C. had plain old tomato sauce on his pizza. They have it. They serve it. It is an honest homemade respectable tomato sauce. But that is like going on a date with the greatest sexual athlete in the world and insisting on missionary position. * * * That said, my missionary position pizza was pretty good. I got anchovies, cherry tomatoes, roasted onions and feta cheese, to go with my tomato sauce and mozzarella. I inhaled the whole damm thing. To be sure, if we are talking tomato sauce pizza, I have a deeper and more abiding love for Home Slice, Bufalina, and Big Nonna's. But any pizza you inhale has to be a good pizza. * * * Now ask me who does the best chimichurri pizza in Austin. I can't say. I have never had a chimichurri pizza anywhere on the planet. But East Side Pies is highly favored in that event. read more

I ordered 7 pizzas from this location in advance (I'm glad I do it that way. No one wants a last min giant order during lunch hour) anyways, the pizzas were wonderful! The vegan pizzas for my vegans came out great! Service was superb and friendly. Will come back next time I do a pizza party for my office! read more

East Side Pies is a tiny and hopping place. After perusing Yelp reviews for good pizza joints, I stumbled upon East Side Pies. I created my own pizza: whole mozzarella, black olives, green bell peppers. This pizza tasted like childhood: it sent me back to pizza parties in elementary school and birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese. I am excited to try their pizza again and support a local business. I also think they have cool pizza boxes! read more

We placed a pick up order here as a late night dinner date and we were fortunate to arrive just before closing! Don't have much of an opinion on the service since we just went in to grab the order but they were nice enough. There is parking outside the shop, which is good! My boyfriend ranks this place 4/5 - he got a 14 inch black olives and pepperoni pizza. He loved the thin crust aspect to it and thought it was delicious! I rank this place 3/5 - THAT BEING SAID I am lactose intolerant so my only option was to opt for the dairy free pizza. I did get garlic and pepperoni on top to add flavor to it as well. It was okay; dairy free cheese is hard to get right and had a bit of an aftertase. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but since there isn't many pizza places in Austin with dairy free options, i'll give them brownie points for that :) read more

Stopped in the new ESP on burnet rd for lunch. They currently have a buy one slice, get one free lunch special. This place is really cute inside. Looks like they have a good happy hour too. Service was great! read more

East Side Pies made the worse sandwich I've ever had. The beef was old and mushy, and the bun was completely soaked with broth. It's particularly rude to send food this bad out on a delivery order, because there's no chance to return it. Goodbye, East Side Pies. read more

More pizza? I'm a fan of Buffalinas, Little Deli and Shorties pizza. East Side Pies joins these as a go to. Ambiance is functional. There's a good drink selection and some nice beers on tap. Servers are helpful and chill. They don't look down their nose at you if you just ask for water. I like pizza that you can pick up and this fits the bill. The crust is thinner than those mentioned above. I went for a second time the other night and enjoyed it even more. Next time I think I'll order a large and take some home. Great vegetarian choices and and interesting menu that makes me want to go back and try different combinations. read more

Good pizza with good ingredients.I got a small pizza with mushrooms, black olives, green bell peppers and Italian sausage. The crust is thin and nicely cooked, but still a little soft (in a good way). I saw little indentations indicating a roller was used to prevent the crust from bubbling up. I felt like the crust texture was similar to Mod Pizza, or The Blaze Pizza. The fact that it was just a little charred on the edges I think indicates a hot oven. All around a good pizza. I gave 4 rather than 5 stars because it didn't seem like it was tossed like in New York, and not cooked in a proper excruciatingly hot oven. For the New York Style connoisseurs, not quite perfection. For everyone else, a good pizza. read more

I really wanted to like this pizza more but the crust was thin like a cracker and I am more of a hand tossed girlie. That being said the toppings were really good and everyone was nice but we couldn't really get our selves into the cracker crust. read more

Ever hear Black Sheep's "This or That" well it's a tossup for me as well between ESP and Home Slice which is right down the street. If I had to choose one, this would be my go-to pizza and Home Slice my special occasion, sit-down spot. Thin crust, original, great fresh ingredients and always hits the spot, the people that work there are so nice, know that what they're serving is special, and at least at the location off Airport, they're not trying to cater to a sit-down crowd. I really wish I could eat endlessly because I'd love to try their black bean, chimiurri, and pesto sauces, but it's usually just my small family so we stick to the red sauce. Recommendations would be: the Guice (esp if you like veggies), the Marge (especially a Neapolitan pizza), and the Stagger Lee (which is a supreme pizza). read more

Yummy pizza. Crisp crust, good sauce, generous cheese. We had one slice cheese (me), one veg (both), and one sausage (Mom). By far the cheese slice was the best! Mom's sausage slice? Huge chunks, not at all appetizing. Veggie? Couldn't put my finger on it but the toppings didn't add anything to the overall slice. Back to the plain -- perfection! Look out for the BOGO sales! read more

We've only ever gotten their food to go, but we saw that they now serve margaritas and thought it sounded like a nice spot to enjoy a Friday evening. We were blown away when the 2 drinks cost over $25, and then to find out they were wine based. The drinks cost more than our pizza and salad. And they were very weak. Just a let down to pay so much for a below average beverage. Felt like a cash grab. The patio is nice and the food is good, just disappointing. read more

Deliciously indulgent pies! They get their thin crusts right and have a wide assortment of toppings to choose from. Have tried most of their vegetarian pies and highly recommend the Olivia and the Mundi. The roasted garlic on top is just *chef's kiss* read more

They have 10" gluten free pies and goat cheese. If you have a cow dairy allergy and are ordering to go, you'll need to call and specify no mozzarella. Ordering goat cheese online inherently includes mozzarella. I ordered my pie with homemade tomato sauce, but the pie came out a little dry. Perhaps I'll ask for extra sauce next time. The gluten free crust was thin and crispy and the goat cheese portion was large. read more

East Side Pies is one of the top pizza places on Austin, not only according to me, but also local foodies. I happen to be blessed with the good fortune of living within walking distance of their Airport Blvd location, and they have never disappointed. The menu is very large and pies can be customized to your liking. Meat and vegetarian options are available, and they offer many types of sauces, vegetables, toppings and styles. The crust is generally thin and the toppings are very fresh. I'm fairly certain anyone who visits East Side Pies, including the pickiest of customers, will find at least one (or many) pizzas to their liking. The Airport Blvd location is small and has limited seating, but since most customers choose to eat their pizza at home, we often manage to find a spot and eat it there. East Side Pies is a BYOB establishment, so feel free to bring your favorite drink to pair with their tasty pizzas. You like them spicy? Try their homemade sauces. They're spicy alright, and good too. You won't regret it! I recommend this Austin institution. read more
