They offer an entirely separate vegan menu with multiple flavors to choose from, which was so appreciated. I sampled the chocolate vegan ice cream and it was absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It genuinely tasted like premium ice cream, not just a substitute. If you're vegan and visiting the Traverse City area, this is definitely a must-stop dessert spot!

I ordered the birthday cake ice cream, which surprisingly did not have the typical "birthday cake" look with sprinkles or bright colors. They definitely focus on only using natural ingredients and no artificial flavorings, which I appreciate. I didn't really get the "birthday cake" flavor that much, though. The flavor was almost too natural and tasted like straight heavy cream when I took my first bite lol. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but you can never go wrong with ice cream and it was still good.

Best pizza around! They also have many other menu choices; salads, sandwiches, ice cream. I have eaten here many times and always try something new and everything has always been delicious. They have a great welcoming atmosphere, wonderful views of the bay, seating in and out and friendly, helpful staff. They also have an awesome kids playground on the lot that's absolutely free! I would defiantly recommend East Bay Pizza to anyone living or visiting the Traverse City area. read more

East Bay pizza recently opened on the east side of town. I absolutely love this place and eat there at least once a week. Their pizzas are amazing and made fresh. They are not greasy, which is very important to me. They also have great salads and panini's. The best part about East Bay is you can get Moomers Ice Cream for dessert. If you haven't tried East Bay pizza you are missing out. My favorite pizza is the nacho pizza. read more

Staff warned us about the kitchen being backed up because the recently opened rooftop was packed. (It looked like a frat house nightmare up there. We sat in the dining room with families and other mostly sober people.) We ordered the sweer chili cauliflower appetizer just to kill time and match with a beer, but it turned out to be awesome. And I am generally not a fan of cauliflower substitutions for proteins. The veggie pizza wasn't too long of a wait, and it was solid. Lots of artichokes and olives. We took half for leftovers and it worked well as a cold pizza breakfast. Based on reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but I think this place is underrated. We left feeling like we made a good choice.

The place has open seating and the pizza is cooked in a nice looking brick oven. The service was great, very friendly staff While you can be tempted to build your own pie because the topping list is very impressive, we decided to go with the "Booyah Supreme" and that is probably where we went wrong. You see, sometimes "less is more" when it comes to a thin crust, brick oven pizza and while i can't believe i'm saying this, our pizza simply had too much cheese and toppings that it came out undercooked in the middle, and that's no bueno when it comes to any pizza. The sauce was good and the part of the crust that was cooked did have a nice chew to it.

Frontage on Eighth Street, but it feels like a neighborhood joint once you are in there. I apologize to Two Sons Pizza, for not writing a five star review, when the pizza was five stars. I mean, we've got The Filling Station for the real thin but still chewy crust. Excellent. Charles and Reid for Detroit style, which is life altering delicious (and I generally hate thick pizza). And Two Sons completed the power triangle with big New York style slices and pies. But what the F happened? They've always had a little bit of that dismissive hipster kind of vibe, where they try to make you feel like you're not important, or possibly not cool enough to enjoy how amazing their pizza is, or was. But now it's like the one or two employees who are there at a time, don't want to be there at all. And that's what the pizza tastes like now The slices used to be massive, like cutting an extra large pizza into six slices. They were priced accordingly, $7-8+, but well worth it. Delicious. Now the pies are old sitting around for hours, and they don't perk up when reheated like they used to. I don't have a problem with proper New York style slices, being reheated, that's part of the tradition. But the attitude I get is, if they aren't slammed busy, they don't care about having fresh food, and you just get what you get. It seems the employees don't care, they are like robots now, and unhappy robots at that. They've got the NY magic and the special sauce, they just aren't using it anymore. Maybe the chef quit, maybe it got sold, I have no idea. The last slice I had, I threw it in the garbage, and went to Toby's dog house, the hot dog trailer outside. But it was closed on a day it was supposed to be open. The guy behind the bar at Silver Spruce brewing has the same dismissive/dumb attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if all three places closed after summer 2026 ** since they are capable of making a good New York style pie, at least in theory now, just order a whole pizza. That way, it will be fresh. The slice game is dead there. **
