Went to early Wednesday night dinner. Home made manicotti and meatballs and stuffed peppers. Both were delicious with a very tasty sauce. The service was so friendly and welcoming. Cash only, but there was an ATM in the back.

Perfect local joint, no frills, it’s just a good old fashion pub. So if your looking for attention, don’t bother stopping local guys and gal. We loved it. Beer and pizza perfect for a Friday night date

One of the best pizzas in town. Had pizza there this past weekend and the pizza is still as good as it ever was. You have to try it if you have never been.

I'm an admitted pizzaholic. East Side is the best pizza I've ever had. Started in 1982. Now if I want East Side I drive 200 miles for it. From '82 till 2005 I was there once a week for 48 out of 52 weeks in...Read More

It's a bar and small cafe. Pizza is delish. If you are looking for linen tablecloths, do not come here; go to Lenox.

Favorite pizza in the Berkshires. Bar pie. Coal fired. Service is hit or miss depending on the time and crowd. Can be 20mins for a pizza or an hour and half. Either way it’s worth it. I hope East Side pizza is around forever.

Just the greatest. I’ve been a regular for years and not once have had anything less than a fantastic pizza. My all-time favorite pie and nothing compares. They care about their patrons, and it feels like your classic Americana neighborhood establishment.

East Side cafe is a Pittsfield staple for awesome coal fired pizza. While their cheese pizza is ok, I would highly recommend getting toppings. My favorite is everything (hold anchovies) - give it a shot. You won't be disappointed
