If you're too lazy to read this article, I will say the important part loud and proud: Eastside Pizza House, 1734 Northeast 23rd St., is the best pizza in Oklahoma City. Possibly the state.
For those who do stick around for the whole review…thanks.
I was in town last week, with a pizza-sized hole burning in my pocket. I have wanted to try Eastside Pizza House since I heard about it, with musician Jabee at the helm. Though I have a weird relationship with most pizza, I was eager to give this the college try.
Almost immediately, the design of Eastside was remarkably on-point as I walked to the counter. Having an artisanal ebony crust, it was already a life-changing meal, with biographical names given to different pies: the Ellison, the Garden Oaks, the Clara Luper… it seemed like every slice told a story, and every story had to be told.
After placing my order, my mind wandered to the evocative art that clung to the walls; there was a meaningful quote on the wall from Roscoe Dundee: “The price we pay to exist in the state of Oklahoma is too great.”
