East Side Pies

"A fast-casual Trinidadian restaurant by Janelle Romeo, offering roti wraps, Trinidadian bake and shark sandwiches, build-your-own bowls with jerk chicken and stewed oxtails, and seasonal specials." - Erin Russell

"The playful combinations at the Austin mini-chain take toppings to a new level, and the Austin-centric names don't hurt. Go for the Moontower (a ricotta pie with feta and goat cheese), the Smors (Italian sausage with white mushrooms, roasted onions, red bell peppers, and fresh spinach), and the meat-loving Mizza (bacon, ham, pepperoni, home-made meatballs, and Italian sausage). The aesthetic carries through to the decor, with mix-and-match vintage decor both inside and out. Take it home or have it delivered by ordering online." - Nadia Chaudhury

"With three locations, it’s not just the East Side that can enjoy these inventive thin-sliced pies from the Austin mini-chain, with this one in Central East Austin and others in Allandale and Anderson Arbor. There are so many customization options, available from sizes to base sauces (red sauce to black bean), cheeses (including a vegan one) meats, and vegetables. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Students love pizza, right? The Austin mini-chain luckily has a location right in Blackshear-Prospect Hill on Rosewood Avenue, slinging its thin-crust pies covered with either ricotta or black bean sauce along with meats and vegetables. Plus, there are vegan and gluten-free options available. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Grab thin crust slices from any of East Side Pie’s three locations, as well as specialty slices that rotate. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are typically indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell
