East End Pizza & Deli

Very good pizza but very small inside and young staff not so friendly.

The BEST PIZZA I have ever had. And I love pizza!

We ended up at this place Sunday evening because most every other place with dinner options was closed. My friend told the counter person, " we tentatively chose this place because there wasn't much else, but after the service and food, it will be a first choice in the future." Staff was friendly and helpful, and my burger was obviously hand formed and cooked to order from fresh ground beef. They happily swapped out a side salad for the fries, and while I expected some limp ice burg with a pale slice of hot house tomato, I was overjoyed at an extremely fresh, crisp baby greens mix with plenty of fresh red onion, tomato, and a few other veggies tossed in! Wow! On par with a restaurant quality salad! While not listed on the menu, there was a black bean burger option for my vegetarian friend, and it was tasty enough that I would consider a meat-free dinner night for myself.
Thinking the one time experience could be a fluke, I returned a couple days later to try the pizza. A great, tomatoey-rich sauce, not sweet, with a great crust. The crust is not NY style thin, but thicker with both a crisp bottom but some teeth in the softer chewy middle. Good enough that I want to get a bit of sauce on the side and dip it like a breadstick. I learned the pizza place is affiliated with the bar & grill next door. Completely different staff on this visit, but equally eager to be helpful and friendly while also giving me space and time to allow me to get my writing homework done for a class later that night. In too many ways to list here, both times staff went above and beyond to personalize their service to my needs and make me feel welcomed. Plus a good cup of coffee, too! I think I found a new spot in the East End to frequent!

Pizza slices made to order. Very tasty but very thin. Nice Eat in atmosphere. Nice downtown area.
