We have been here before a few times many years ago. We decided to try it again. We went and it was around 5 pm and the place was packed. We had to wait about 10 min to be seated. All good. We ordered wings...and some pizzas. The wings were crispy and good. Then came the pizzas. The minute the waitress sat down the pizza I smelled that the meat was old and reheated from frozen. I took a bite of it anyway and it was definitely old and had been frozen. I could not eat but two bites. As much business as this place has there is no excuse for freezing anything especially meat. I was very disappointed. I’m a local and I won’t be back. The only reasoning I have for this place to have so much business is because there is not very many places to eat here and they have a bar. Maybe people don’t mind frozen old reheated meat.More

We Love this Pizza! It is a little bit of a drive, so we don't get to eat there often, but when we want a really good Treat- we make the drive to Tryon. Give a try- you'll love it.

We normally love eating at Side street and have been frequenting the restaurant for years. But this last experience with carry out was not up to our expectations. First their phone was off the hook because after several times calling all I got was a...busy signal. So we ordered online, but it was less than customer friendly. First it wouldn’t take my credit card, then it wouldn’t let me choose a pick up time. It froze several times which meant I had to start from scratch. Ugh. Just very annoying. But, to top it all off, we ordered tow bowls of pasta fagioli soup. $5 each, and it was three spoons fills of soup. Didn’t even half way fill up my bowl. It’s was ridiculous. If you don’t have the right container, take it off your website. This just makes people mad.More

I would not return to this place if it wasn't for the good pizza. Upon arriving we find a whole front parking lot restricted to take out orders...no parking for older ladies who didn't want to walk over a railroad bed or walk downhill from...a "back" parking area. Then when we entered we were told to give the girl our phone number so she could call when a table was ready. Then I read a sign that said " help yourself to seating" First come First serve" We find a seat and order our pizza. After 30 minutes...the girl texts to let me know that my 20 minutes until a table was ready, was now ready. Nevermind. If not for the good pizza, I would not have given this spot a three star. Too much confusion and restricted parking. I should be allowed to park like a patron that will walk in , sit down and eat, and will tip your wait staff....More

This pizza restaurant has become the gold standard for a Pizza place/restaurant. The pizza and local beer on tap is just a part of the story that bring a crowd, that means you need to be there early or do takeout. In the bar section,...people come in & eye anxiously the people that are eating leisurely as they feel like it is their duty to rush you along. Hats off for our waitress Paulina that remained cool in spite of the chaos that occasionally came.More

A delightful little restaurant. Arrived about 5:20 in the evening on a weekday, there was already a line. The place is cozy, but they had heaters outside by tables for folks waiting. They said seating could take 15 minutes, but they seated me a little...ahead of schedule. For $11 each, got salad and delicious pasta dish, eggplant Parmesan for me and lasagna for him. Service was in good order, and the food got there reasonably quickly. Very filling and delicious! If you have time to wait a few minutes, or can get there early, highly recommend.More

We stopped here to get pizza one night on vacation. We ended up getting to go pizza and salad. We ordered a large anti pasta salad and it was lackluster at best. The size was enough for one of or family members. It came with...two small pepperoncinis, small ham bits, pepperonis, some cheese. We ordered the heart stopper meat pizza- excellent with generous meat. We also ordered pepperoni pizza and this too was good. They have sacrificed the entire front parking lot for to go orders and if you try to go in the waitstaff will yell at you to go back to your car. I think if we were to go there again we would eat in so the pizza stayed hot.More

Got there late for lunch. There were quiet a few cars there. Had to wait as there were a lot a people inside. Pizza was really tasty and the salad we shared was fresh and the items on the salad were very good quality. I...would recommend this restaurant to everyone.More

My family and I stopped off at this restaurant one Sunday night on the way out of the mountains. What a find! We were told that the wait would be 40 minutes but it ended up being far less. The server was efficient and attentive...and the food was at our table in record time. The Buffalo chicken pizza was the best I have ever had and my family said that their cheese pizza was better than anything they have had in Charlotte. Interestingly, nearly half of the license plates in the parking lot were SC plates. After our meal, we all agreed that we would go out of our way to return to this restaurant!More

Ordered a medium deluxe pizza: sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, black olives, green pepper, and extra cheese. Crisp crust. Not stingy with the toppings. Good taste but a little on the greasy side. Staff very friendly. Like all restaurants at this time, probably short staffed but...pizza came out in reasonable time. Waitress attentive despite having numerous tables. All parking out front is for pickup, must park in back.More

We drove through Tryon looking for an eatery. It was a Saturday afternoon and finding a parking place was difficult. We saw Sidestreet Pizza, and decided to try it. There was some confusion about parking in the front, there were a lot of signs with...directions. We were on the point of leaving until I noticed the drive going behind the restaurant. There is ample parking in the rear. (I also admired the large oak tree at the parking lot's entrance.) Our dining experience was wonderful. We ate the barbeque chicken pizza. It was tasty, tangy, sweet, and not too filling. The hard apple cider was very refreshing. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.More

Front door has a sign asking only one person to come inside, yet they do t wear any masks or have social distancing inside. We left our party outside and o e went in to ask for a table. Six tables outside, but they would...only seat at two, which were taken. When a table opened up inside, I said I have to get the rest of my party from outside...so they sat the family of four that came in behind me. Why is it we follow YOUR rules on the door, but then we get screwed with a table? We decided to order to go and we sat at the table outside that they wouldn’t serve us at. In return, we left all of our trash from the to go items. We used to enjoy eating here, but never again. If you don’t care about social distancing and wearing masks, then this place is for you. If you are still health conscious, stay away.More

BEWARE!!! NO Employees wearing face masks and running at FULL capacity. Me and my husband were very uncomfortable and got up and left. Very inconsiderate and breaking the mask mandate law. First restaurant we've been too that showed they didn't care about their customers health....Pizza has always been our favorite but this was very disappointing.More

A previous review mentioned their disregard for Covid 19 protocol. Unfortunately, I thought this was an exception. It was not. They even have a sign posted stating that masks are optional. I got the feeling that the operation was run with disregard for Covid 19...safety. I will not go back. The pizza was good.More

This is a great place. The food is consistantly spot on, sorry for stealing one of Gordon's lines, but it is true. The wings are always perfect. The pizza is addictive. Don't get me started on the subs, lasagna or the nachos. The staff are...the best, they are efficient and have a glad you are here attitude you do not see much anymore. I hate say this because people may read this and now i may have to wait longer for a seat, but this is a must. If you like great food. Oh yeah Oliver order to go and save a seat for a more positive customer.More
