East Side Pizza Palace

I love there greek style pizza! The old school look of the place is a plus for me. Been coming here since I was a kid. Would not change a thing. Not one bad thing to say!

Pizza was solid and piping hot. The 1984 Audi poster added a retro ambiance to the establishment.

Recently got a half cheese, half pepperoni large pizza. Loved it! It’s cut with inside pieces having no crust which is great. The counter person said 20 minutes and was right on. Will def be back to try other things :)

You want real Wallingford pizza from a real Wallingford family? You go see Angelo and George!!!

An institution on the East side of town, good meal at a good price, Angelo and George are always happy to see you, I’ve been eating there since Alex opened it and always enjoy whatever it is I get, I haven’t used it but it’s nice to see they offer delivery service now

Great pizza. Been here twice for carry out. The place is definitely a casual dining place, lots of guys stopping in and shooting the breeze with the employees. Pepsi products for beverages. Pizza is good Greek style.

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 vinegar with some herbs, but it’s great.
As for the atmosphere, it’s very casual. Decent bathrooms. You grab your drinks from a cooler. Plenty of seating. I remember going to a few birthday parties there as a kid… parents had the option of renting out the back part of the restaurant.
I went there with my boyfriend a few times last year, and he really enjoyed it too. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with celiac disease shortly after… and I can no longer eat here again, as they do not offer a gluten free menu. So, if you have celiac disease or can’t eat gluten, you will not find something safe. If they ever do decide to offer gluten free pizza, I will be one of the first people to try it. This is definitely one of the restaurants I miss most after my diagnosis. If you haven’t tried this place yet, I definitely recommend it.

Great guys running the shop. Made my order on time and made sure I knew I got the free drink. I would give more stars but the food does not taste high quality. My wife loves, loves the food so I hate saying that, but this is my review.

A nice local pizza shop. It is different than your average pizza restaurant/​hangout.
East Side Pizza is designed more like a college hangout, but have nicer tables and booths.
Price is where they come into play, their large is cut party style giving you around 20 slices. I always pick up a large and no matter what I put on it, I always stay under the $ 20 mark.
They do deliver anything over $ 15.
They have 2 fridges with a large variety of sodas, water, iced teas, root beers, etc.
I have yet to try their grinders, but plan to on a day that I do not crave pizza (probably never).
Bathroom sanitation is your average. There is no fancy man standing at the doorway with a towel, but it is clean enough to get the job done.
The staff is friendly and always around during the course of your meal to provide a pleasant eating experience.
Not much more can be said about this place. Nothing really stood out to me other than its location and the size of the large pizza, but if you are passing by I91 and are craving a pie, I would give it a shot.

Giving them 3 stars for the quantity of the toppings and the attitude of the staff. Got a small special pizza and a salad. Crust and sauce on the pie were ok at best but very nondescript. Lots of toppings though! It was cooked nicely too. This is greek pizza so the crust is a bit thicker than italian. Crispy on outside and soft on inside. Salad ingredients were pulled out of sandwich supplies. You could tell by the way they were cut. The greek dressing was good. Nice guy behind the counter. Order was also ready right on time.

Ordered 2 calzones today. Quick delivery but don’t bother. Weren’t that great. Wouldn’t order them again.

My boyfriend and I agree that their grinders are very good. I am a vegetarian and I have only tried the eggplant parmesan. Eggplant is thinly sliced, skin left on — plenty of it on the grinder and it’s not too saucy. He has only tried a hot ham & cheese, but he will likely try meatball, too. We love the rolls — soft!
We have not gotten the pizza because we know it is Greek which is not what we like and because we already have a favorite place for pizza.
Their service is fast, friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable. Two foot-​long grinders here cost less than two six-​inch grinders at Subway.
Dining area décor is outdated and the lighting is a little harsh — so bright. However, neither of those matter when a. we only order for take-​out and b. the food tastes as good as it does. I only mention it for the sake of those who may be looking for that information in a review.

Getting one of their pies or a meat ball grinder is nostalgic for me. I find the meat ball grinder to be out of this world. Its not like a lot of places where you can tell it was a gross frozen meatball. They use huge sliced meatballs that are just so soft and almost melt in your mouth. Add some melted cheese and their awesome house sauce it’s a really satisfying treat. Not something to be missed. It still has an old school vibe I really like. So many places are going modern that I’m really appreciating the places that can still bring me back to childhood like this one.
The pie is where they shine! Great crust and as someone else said, not too thick and not too thin. A good sturdy yet soft crust. I’ve always found their pizza a bit on the greasy side but I love it. The sauce has this really great flavor that is home to East Side Pizza you’re not gonna find elsewhere. I love dipping their crust in soda. Don’t knock it till ya try it!
I may very well be bias here because I grew up on their pizza but I find it up there in what you will find in the area. It looks like your typical pizza joint but the flavor so, so good. Worth a try if you’ve never been there. East Side Pizza is a Greek pizza joint if anyone is curious. After eating their pizza all these years, I’ll choose Greek pizza over Italian any day! Nothing bad to say about them. They deliver too if you’re in the area!

My dad has been getting pizza from this place every Sunday for the past 10+ years. He will drive there from a town over and bring it home around 6. Coincidentally, I generally show up at my parents house at about 5:45 every Sunday night.
This pizza may look like your standard pie, but the taste is something else. The crust is perfect, not too thick and not too thin. The sauce is delicious with a little hint of spice to give it a kick, and the cheese is always fresh. I am drooling right now just thinking about it! I hate pizzas that are too dry or the sauce and cheese don’t go to the edge of the crust. No problem with that here, you can savor every flavorful bite. Most places I order a bunch of toppings to make sure I am satisified with the flavor, but with East Side I think a plain pie might be my favorite.
I have only eaten there a couple of times so I am not sure about the rest of the menu, but who needs it with the pizza they make!
