The servers were wonderful, the food was awesome, and the bakery was to die for. What more do you need? Aces as far as I'm concerned.

Seated fairly quickly, food was excellent. Pricing was average. Shares parking with many other strip mall business's so not sure how the parking would be on a busy night, we went during an off hour after lunch crowd.

I stopped by this place about a week after moving into town. I had run a whole slew of errands, except for one - "get dessert". I saw a sign that said bakery as I was driving by, and immediately pursued my new goal: East Coast Pizza. Once inside, I was greeted heartily by the owners, courteously helped by the staff, and treated to a taste of more than on amazing italian dessert. Excellent, authentic treats. I will be going back here, and recommend you do the same. The service and food was so good that I promised I'd write a review....and that was over a month ago. Better late than never!

Best pizza I've had in awhile. They also have an incredible bakery as well. Service was 1st class... Told us all about the different baked goods. We got "The Works" - Highly recommended. The Italian Chef's pastries are out of this world! Check it out for yourself!

Colorado Springs is a dead town for foodies and as a New Yorker in exile, I suffer greatly. Today we head to Pueblo in search of legit spots to eat. Based blindly on Yelp 4.5 rating, we went to East Coast Pizza. Upon walking in, it has that cozy tired and worn down look that certainly won't win any aesthetics awards but is typical of spots that crank out great food. I ordered a half sausage & peppers hot sub and a mini meat lovers pizza. Thank you Yelpers for your reviews that brought me here. Some times the "east coast" or "New York" in a title is a gimmick and the owners end up being from Tucson. This place is the real deal and I felt like I was back home. Food great. Service great. 5 stars.

Great pizza! The staff is friendly and attentive. Amazing dessert selection. We order this for pick up all the time. The only downside is during their rush parking can be a problem.

Amazingly I found out about this place on YELP hence my family has never heard of it nor been there living in Pueblo. GO FIGURE! Anyway my cousin offered to take me anywhere I was having a Pueblo craving that eve since visit once a year if that. I said I wanted to try out East Coast Pizza. We had a couple of their signature pizza's with green chile and they were great. The pasta was good but for $12.00 it could have had a bit more pizazz or a larger portion. We happed in a bit around 9pm or so, so the desserts were mostly gone hence we bought about five to sample. And the garlic knots. The desserts were sugary good and some ok but seeing the video they have online, know have to get there early in the day for some of the signature stuff. The garlic knots just knotted bread but a bit dried out. Hence I would definitely not write them off as they are overall awesome in the sense that they actually have great customer service with a smile. Not the old time Pueblo cranky'ness you get from some of the other long time rooted establishments. We went a bit late at night and surely the days fresh sweets were picked over. Will be back for sure!

We were on the way to Denver after visiting Mesa Verde National Park when Yelp saved us again! East Coast Pizza is not to be missed! The pizza was DELICIOUS and the service was excellent. Our whole meal with 1 Giant Pizza came with a free Medium pizza was under $20! If you are looking for great italian, stop here. Desserts are baked by an authentic sicilian baker...they were fabulous!!! Don't miss this treasure!

Seriously. Best place ever for legit east coast pizza!! Gluten free crust and an amazing drool worthily gluten free variety of baked goodies?! Am I in heaven? No, wait. It's still Pueblo. Nicole is beyond educated about the menu. Parking lot is a pill, but it's worth it. Trust me.

Brooke C.
Awesome!!!! Driving thru Pueblo and were hungry so we called it in and picked it up. We were not disappointed! My hubby got the mini Works pizza which was perfect size. I got a calzone and it was huge and delicious, I could only eat half! My kids got the kids pepperoni pizza and said it was so good! And the prices are great!! Definitely a must when passing thru Pueblo!!!
(5)
Tayler T.
Great pizza and pastas!! Oh yea, their deserts are to die for too! Their red marinara sauce is very good. My only complaint is that they never have any tiramisu!! It's so so good when they do have it. I assume everyone buys it up before dinner. Please make more!! It's so good!

Service slow. It took over 2 hours to get our meal served. Had to flag down help to get drinks. Place is dirty, menu is very tired, mushrooms are canned, not enough fresh items on menu. This place is an excellent candidate for "Restaurant Impossible". Needs a complete make over.

This restaurant is incredibly good. Not only is the food good but the portions are huge. You could split the meal and still have leftovers. Crystal is an excellent waitress. Don't let the curb appeal discourage you.

I seldom if ever review a restaurant, in this case I have to. Upon entering the establishment, I noticed food all over the floor, carpeting, with pieces of pepperoni strewn about, bakery items smashed into the carpet, which creaked when I'd walked on it...the ambience was terrible, country music blaring from the speakers, just above our table. I asked them to turn the music down, which the girl complied, but not fully down....I mean come on, country music in an Italian restaurant? There was also music coming from the kitchen, not country music but Elton John (more to my liking but still). So you have two different types of music playing at the same time. Now for the food. I ordered spaghetti with sausage....although the two sausage links were of good proportion, upon cutting into them, with difficulty, the meat was raw, as in not cooked......the waitress was kind enough to replace the whole plate, while my GF sat there with her food, not wanting to eat it while I sat waiting for mine... When I moved to Pueblo four years ago, the food in East Coast Pizza was very good...it's taken a nose dive...sad to say...I hope the owners read this and rectify the situation, because believe me, I will never set foot in that establishment again....

I got there when they opened and was the first customer. Later the place started getting more people. I understand why. Their pizza is the best NY style in Pueblo. I ordered a medium with sausage, Canadian bacon, and black olives. The cheese was a great quality and not the cheap quality kind you usually find at other places. The service was great too! I will definitely be going back. They also have Philly Cheesesteaks and other Italian dishes on the menu. They have a huge array of great looking desserts up in the front. I will also look forward to trying those as well.

Uhmm. This place is amazing. A neighbor of ours had mentioned they liked this place in passing one day and it had stuck with me ever since. The husband and I decided to stop in and check it out after church to see if their pastries were really that good. SO GOOD. I have no idea what we got name wise, but all of it tasted like heaven. I might suggest they put prices up, but it wasn't that pricey either way. We are budgeters though, so I like to have a in head number before I check out. A few days later we decided to order a pizza and try it out since a lot of other pizza places don't have the best reviews or your getting it from a chain. We got a standard pepperoni (cause you always have to start with the basics to make sure it's good) and it was awesome. It tasted homemade and the crust is outstanding. I'm so glad it's only five minutes away from our house.

Don't go there if you're in a hurry for lunch. Lose a lot of business during the week due to lack of attention in the wait staff. It's not their fault it's the managements.

If you don't know where to look for this pizza joint, you'd probably drive right past it, but you better hope you don't! Not only does this place have amazing pizza pie, but it also boasts great home made Italian pastries. While we were eating dinner, there was a steady stream of families coming in just to get pastries for dessert. Me? I took home two "elephant ears" to enjoy with my coffee in the morning. A fun side note--free limo service with catering. Don't know how it works, but it will be fun to find out!

I've sampled a wide variety of independent pizza joints in Texas, Oklahoma, and southern Colorado, and this one is in my top 5. Crust was a perfect combination of crispy on the bottom and chewy/bubbly in the middle, excellent toppings, no cheap ingredients. And to top it off they have 8-10 feet worth of display cases full of amazing homemade desserts. The lemoncello cake was the best lemon cake I've ever had in my life. Soooo tasty. The only way this could possibly be better is if they had Maine Root sodas or something similar.

Like most good family owned hole-in-the-wall restaurants, East Coast Pizza is not easy to find and the parking is terrible. Unlike many, the food is marvelous and the service is generally friendly and very pleasant. We've enjoyed them with as many as 14 people which they've accommodated with ease. However, I've noticed the more folks you have the longer it takes to get your food. But the food.... YUM! I've never had anything I didn't like there and the deserts made in the in-house bakery are fantastic.

You won't be disappointed. I stopped in for lunch and got a meatball sub. It was huge (enough for 2). I couldn't resist a canoli. This place is the real deal Italian! Try their ricotta cheese cake.

We went here with 37 people (including 18 kids age 13 and under) after a soccer tournament and they were beyond accommodating! They don't take reservations but they were able to seat us within 20 minutes and our food came out very quickly, even though we ordered a lot! It's a small, locals pizza place that also serves pasta and salad as well as alcohol. It's not fancy and it's not big, but the food was delicious and it was perfect for our group. Other patrons may have been a bit annoyed at our large group as we were up and down from our tables a lot, but we were grateful to the restaurant for setting up our food and beer on a fold out table that they brought out and set up just for us. It made it very easy for all 9(?) of our tables to have our food in one place and made it less chaotic for us. Our waitress did an excellent job of getting food and drinks and cups and played etc to everyone and she did it with a smile on her face even though it was a hard job. It looked like a place where locals come often and it gets quite busy and fills up quickly.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
