  If you care about good crust, flavor, etc don’t eat this. Home slice is so much better. The crust has zero flavor. I couldn’t taste the sauce. The sausage was like that cheap foam like stuff. Idk how this has good reviews. Austin has good taste in pizza (I think?) but this place must subsist on the most foolish residents. Oh and I spent friggin $33 dollars before tax on this large. I think home slice is like $27 for a like pie!!

  By far the best pizza in Austin, and not a trend-setting pizza place. It’s a real pizza restaurant making their ingredients from scratch before it was a trend. I had over 5 different pizzas here and all of them 10 for 10. East Side Pies do sell pizza by the slice, most trendy pizza places don’t. Which mades “ESP” more accessible for customers. Also “ESP” is a local business and it’s always good to eat local.

  On Thursday, February 12, I placed a pickup order at 6:38 PM for 7:03 PM. I arrived at 7:05 PM and was informed the pizza had not been made or placed in the oven. While mistakes happen, I waited an additional 20+ minutes before receiving my order at approximately 7:25 PM. When I asked about a discount or accommodation due to the delay, I was asked if I was an Uber driver. That assumption was inappropriate and unprofessional. I have been a paying customer for 4–5 years and live five minutes away. I am not a third-party driver—I am the customer. The only resolution offered was a 12 oz Diet Coke, delivered with an attitude suggesting I should be grateful. The lack of accountability and poor customer service were more disappointing than the delay itself. I witnessed staff being accommodating to another individual while I, a long-standing paying customer whose order was significantly late, was treated dismissively. A 20+ minute delay without meaningful acknowledgment or professionalism is unacceptable. I expect better from an establishment I’ve supported for years. Please address this behavior and ensure your staff understands the importance of respectful customer service.

  East Side Pies is one of those Austin gems that reminds you pizza can be both creative and seriously satisfying. The atmosphere is quirky and laid-back, a perfect match for the East Side neighborhood vibe. The menu is full of inventive combinations, but the spinach pizza stole the show for me. It’s loaded with fresh, vibrant spinach that tastes like it was picked that morning, layered over a tangy tomato sauce and just the right amount of gooey cheese. The balance is spot on—fresh greens meet indulgent, cheesy goodness without either overpowering the other. The crust is thin and perfectly crisp around the edges while still having that nice chewy bite in the middle. Every slice feels light but still filling, which is a rare and welcome feat for pizza. Service here is friendly and unpretentious, and my order came out hot and fresh without a long wait. The prices are fair considering the quality of the ingredients, and you can tell there’s real care in how everything is prepared. The only thing holding this back from a perfect five stars is the limited seating. On busy nights, it can be a challenge to snag a table, but that’s also part of its charm—it’s the kind of pizza you’d happily take to-go and enjoy at a nearby park. East Side Pies is proof that great pizza doesn’t have to be complicated—just fresh, flavorful, and made with love.

  Pizza was very tasty. Crust was perfectly thin and crispy. Had Jamaican Pizza with jerk chicken and jalapeños, which I could have done with less. No inside seating but does have picnic tables. 18 bucks for a 10 in.. so be ready for that.

  Thin crispy crust and fresh toppings! Yum!!! We ordered it to pick up and had to wait a few minutes longer than was told but when we ate the pizza it was worth the wait! We would definitely go back when we are in Austin again!

  In Austin for son’s dive camp at UT, and this place is near our AirBnB. First, let me say that this is the best hand-made, hand-cooked pie I’ve had in a long time, and I love pizza. But even better, there’s a coffee shop and craft beer wing next door which also has a very nice selection of wines. Outdoor seating (pet friendly) and awesome people make this the real whole deal. Way to go!

  I ordered a thin pepperoni pizza and that's what I got. It was thin and crispy. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We sat outside on picnic tables and enjoyed the view.
