Home on Payne Avenue
Payne Avenue has always been one of St. Paul's most real, most rooted neighborhoods — and East Side Pizzeria fits right in. This isn't a restaurant that landed here by accident; it belongs here.
No Single Lane
Pizza, wings, house-smoked ribs, deep-fried tacos, burgers, baked ravioli — one table here fixes any dinner debate.
Made From Scratch
All sauces — marinara, Alfredo, BBQ, ranch — are made in-house daily. The hand-rolled deep-fried tacos have their own cult following.
Regulars Feel It
Staff like Marlo get called out by name in reviews — not because it's policy, but because that's just how this place runs. First-timers get treated like regulars, and regulars feel like family.
