I have been going to East Side pizza for over 30 years! Best Greek pizza in the state! Their grinders and salads are fresh and yummy!! Their meatball subs may be the best meatballs I've had!

Without a doubt, the best pizza around. I now live in Florida and literally walked off the plane and headed straight to East Side pizza for my favorite pie. Family owned and operated, the folks at this establishment will offer you a warm welcome and fantastic food. You can't go wrong with their pizza (meatball is my FAVORITE) or their spaghetti/chicken Parm dinners.
Order from them. You cannot go wrong.

I've tried Eastside twice, not impressed either time. First time the counter staff was to busy talking amongst themselves to get our name correct and the pizza was under cooked. The second time we ordered a combo sandwich which was predominately lettuce and no meat, we also ordered a panini which came with fries, there weren't enough to feed a small child. We were told 25 minutes, 45 minutes later we were still waiting. I gave you 2 chances, I wont be coming back, ill take my business back to Natalie’s!

This is the first time I have had pizza from East Center Pizza, and I am so pleased! I ordered a large veggie pizza and I can’t believe how amazing each bite was! It was made with so many fresh veggies, and the pizza sauce was delicious. The large pizza will feed so many people, definitely less expensive then most places in town.
I will absolutely be ordering from here again.

We stopped impromptu to have pizza on a Monday evening, luckily we were the only patrons in the restaurant since I was nervous to eat inside a restaurant due to covid. The front counter staff told us to sit wherever, we choose a booth in the rear which still had crumbs but they didn't offer to clean. There are napkins on the booths in holders so I swept us off. They gave us each a paper menu, we got a large cheese 1/2 pepperoni, a small order of fries, and they told us to pick a drink from the beverage case in the dining room. No liquor only Coke products. Our fries were served in a basket

Extremely happy with the quality of food. It was always great but it's even better now. Thank you George and Angelo.
Antipasto had plenty of greens as well as cold cuts, wings were deeelicious, and 2 pizzas were to die for. They've changed the thickness of the dough as well as the cheese. Flavor was outstanding.

East Side Pizza Palace is my go to for everything pizza. Their classic, Greek style is amazing. I always ask for my pizza well done, because to me, it could use a few more minutes in the oven. Veggies and meat toppings are all fresh and very abundant. The cheese is on point and the crust is a perfect combination of crunchy and chewy. I also order their stuffed breads frequently to bring with me when I go visiting. The subs are very good, my favorite is the steak and cheese with mushrooms and onions. I usually order the greek salad as well, which is loaded with feta cheese and kalamata olives. If

Great pizza! They definitely value their customers. When they made a mistake on our order they corrected it and delivered extra food without charge. Delivery may sometimes take a bit on a weekend night, but they’re honest about their ETA.

By far best Greek pizza in area. Classic pan crust, crisp exterior and great Chevy inside. Sauce has perfect amount of tang and seasoning. Right amount of cheese and toppings. No wonder why they have been around for over 40 years.

I love this place. I personally believe they have one of the best Greek pizzas in the area. The cheese is fantastic and the sauce is one of my favorite. The only thing is- the sauce is so saucy that the cheese sometimes just slides off. Not a big deal for me though!

It's not much of a dine-in place but I can definitely recommend for lunch. Parking in the front can be a bit tough but there's usually a spot for you. I would recommend just going somewhere in the back.

Ordered "meatball parm sub" from this place . I have never had one this dry & with so few meatballs. Not impressed by this place so far, this isn't the first order they've messed up. Lucky for them my husband has been a customer for years & likes the people there, however next time we're ordering from them I'll surely pass.

Went here last night craving a Greek style pie. Been here a few times and the pizza is decent enough. Never even looked at their website. I looked it over and we ordered a small cheese to go. Price on their website stated $7.25. The price they charged me was $8.50. I informed the guy there that their website begged to differ. He basically said that he's known about it for a while and didn't have the time to make the price changes. He didn't offer to charge me his websites price.Poor attitude to boot. If I weren't so hungry,I would have just walked out! I really should have

Was really craving Greek pizza the other night so decided to get food from here. Unfortunately they don't deliver to Cheshire so I had to drive there, but that was fine. We ordered a greek salad, large cheese calzone and large cheese pizza. I would say that everything was pretty good, but not amazing. I've had better greek pizza and calzone, but I've also had worse. I was not a fan of the sauce that came with the calzone as it tasted as if it had a meaty flavor to it. The staff was exceedingly nice and helpful and I like the old school feel of the place. With that said, if I was

I love East Side Pizza. I've been going there since I was a kid. It's a great family business in Wallingford.

For those of you who don't follow my page/ reviews, I have a lot of allergies. One being tomatoes. This proves extremely problematic and can be seriously dangerous when I want pizza...white pizza.

East Side takes extra special care of me. They are super careful in prep, always use a clean cutter, because yes...my allergy is THAT bad that I can't even use the same blade to cut my pizza with. I also order my pizza very specifically, for obvious reasons and

Favorite pizza in the area, hands down. Greek style pizza is much better than New Haven style and these guys make the best I've had in a long time. It's also nice to get a free 2 liter bottle of soda with two large too!

East Side has been making consistently good Greek-style pizza for what seems like forever. The family that runs it have always been warm and friendly. East Side is a Wallingford institution. I live now in New Haven, home of the best pizza places in the world, but whenever I'm back in Wallyworld, I try to swing by, and it's always fantastic.

Ohhhhhh my. I will apologize now. This was not good. The good first, Was told about an hour for delivery, it it was about an hour. The pizza was typical average Greek pan pizza. Lots of cheese and decent sauce but a bland crust. I am not going to beat up on the pizza too bad. It was ok. Certainly not the worst.

I was ordering delivery and wanted a medium. This means I need to order something else to get free delivery. 6 wings would not put me over the 15 dollars so I ordered 12. No problem, I completely understand the minimum and have no problem with this.

It's good, but not great. Usually I'll get a pasta dinner, or something like that. Very reasonable prices. Their pizza is pretty good greek style. It's a good place to stop in and grab something after a long day at work but you want to feel like your mom made it, but shes not the best cook, but shes ok.

I don't get all the 4 and 5 Star reviews for this pizza. This is Connecticut, a state known for great pizza. And East Side Pizza Palace is not great. Not even close.

We were "treated" to pizza at work the other day, so I figured I'd grab a few slices on the way out the door. The pizza was on par with something you'd find at a Gas station. Or in a High School cafeteria. Awful. Greasy, dry crust, no flavor sauce.

Least I didn't pay for it (and I don't recommend you do either, there are plenty of better pizza places in the area).

This is definitely one of the best pizza places I've ever been to.

I grew up with this place. I live right by it, and my parents used to pick up pizza from there every week after my dance classes. We always got the large pizza (cut party style - so there are a lot of pieces) and the antipasta salad. This is definitely a nostalgic place for me. It's Greek style pizza, so the crust is very thick...crunchy on the outside and softer on the inside, and they put a LOT of cheese on their pizza. Everything is great - the sauce, crust, and cheese. The dressing for the antipasta is just oil and
