The tranquility of East End Pizza offers a distinct counterpoint to the central hustle and bustle surrounding Gino’s of Long Beach. Gino’s, immensely popular and often crowded due to its convenient, central location directly across from the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station, embodies the lively, high-traffic side of Long Beach dining. East End Pizza, situated further east, provides a more relaxed and neighborhood-focused atmosphere. This difference in setting appeals to distinct customer preferences: those who appreciate the energy and immediate convenience of Gino’s versus those who seek the calmer, family-oriented dining experience and signature sesame seed crust that East End Pizza consistently delivers. I stopped by because I was looking for a change to the ordinary at some restaurants. Blaring TVs all over the walls and loud music that I find difficult to over take in conversations. This place had neither. What East End Pizza has over Ginos is natural lighting coming through large glass windows and booths parked right next to them. **Free unlimited fountain drink fill-up after purchase of their cup.
It wasn’t hard to see their larger food selections at the counter which also looked fresh and tasty.
I of course opted for the Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana. I inhaled that meal it was that good. Outter bread crust followed by a bread doughy center, Chicken Cutlet and Parmigiana cheese.
Bathrooms: were clean and presentable
Parking: is free highlighted in red and yellow (picture enclosed).
By Bus from LIRR: Point Lookout Bus East Park Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue Stop. $2.75. Access to Pizzaria and Beach.
Final thoughts; Yes I would eat there again and I’d bring a chair and umbrella for the beach to boot.

I order from here all the time when I am hanging in the canals!
I will continue to go here because it’s a staple of long beach – but as far as the regular slice I had the other day….it was a little bit on the thin side and it felt like I finished it in 2 bites!! It was delicious, don’t get me wrong but it was almost like grandma slice. Is it foodflation or is their pizza just getting so thin?!?

East End Pizza is the only pizza my kids will eat — it’s that good! The staff is always super friendly, the service is quick, and the food never disappoints. Their Chicken Francese are absolutely bangin! A must-try.

The dishes here are usually really good . The lobster ravioli is excellent. The penne alla vodka is delicious but no prosciutto. The pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage was just ok. The pizza is great. Preferred when they had a restaurant side with a wait staff.

Perfect spot for some pizza, sesame seed crust is magnificent! I got a buffalo slice, grandma slice and Caesar slice for a little under $20. Totally filling and totally worth it.
