Eagle Pizzeria

Family friendly establishment. Great local pizza joint for this neighborhood.

Literally the best pizza place because they are the best people. Ken, the owners, is a legendary pizza guy.

The dining room feels like the pizza parties I grew up with in the city, warm, eclectic and inviting. I’ve always enjoyed the Pizza from here and it’s a bonus that you get to support a local business.

The only ever time I've seen this place busy is when it was flooded with a local baseball team and then it felt more like controlled chaos than anything else. Most of the times, it is quiet, which isn't as bad as it would seem in terms of judging a restaurant. Eagles Pizzeria is by no means the "best slice of pizza" or "best restaurant" you will find, but it is a quaint, modestly family-run establishment that is as good as it's owner. And the guy who runs the place is nothing but a hard worker who obviously loves sports, if the wall decor, tv channels, and time he spends cheering alongside diners is and indication. Can't fault a place like this.

My extended family comes to this reasonably-priced, neighborhood family-style restaurant for birthdays, in particular my uncle who loves pizza and is wheelchair-bound. Eagle Pizzeria has my family sit against the wall on the right with all the photos and mementos. It's easy to roll my uncle in and out and can easily sit 16 of us comfortably at one long table.

We are big eaters. We usually start with double orders of the antipasto salad, garlic bread and for some in my family bowls of minestrone, spaghetti and meatballs to share, and 4 - 5 larges or extra-larges (Eagle Special, Amy "E," Meat Lovers, Hawaiian and the Margherita), with pitchers of root beer.

Eagle's pizza is on the thick crust side with more of a tomato base sauce and not heavy cheese, Toppings are plentiful, but not overly generous. The pizzas are not heavy pies or will reach your table super burning hot. We eat gluten, so have not tried their gluten-free crust. No one is hungry after we eat and usually there is a few slices left for those who want the leftovers.

Service is efficient, but you do have to wait for the pizza. I think the wait is longer for us because of the quantity we order, the size of our party and if the place gets busy with after baseball/kid sport parties. We also start around 5:30 pm to 6 pm on Sunday nights so it's usually less crowded. Parking is also easier too without paying the meter.

Eagle does allow us to bring our own birthday cake and does not add an additional cake cutting fee per person to our final bill. They are also generous by letting us stay and linger to talk after dessert. We usually stay between 2 - 3 hrs for dinner.
