"Side Street is an unsuspecting watering hole just off the main drag of Belmont, whose front patio will almost always have at least one or two dogs lazing about with their owners. You wouldn’t think that this neighborhood bar serves 10 different piping hot personal pizzas made to order out of a countertop micro pizza oven. Or, that a Sicilian-style square pizza pop-up takes over the kitchen a couple times a week. It’s surprising touches like this that confirm the reliability of Side Street, which goes beyond the otherwise simple, affordable cocktails and tap list. There’s a pool table. There’s pinball machines. The bartenders’ names are written in chalk on the wall. If you’re getting a sense of what kind of place this is, rest assured you’re in great company." - Katrina Yentch
