Side Street Pizza & Pasta

It’s in Tryon NC but well worth the trip. About 50 minutes south of Asheville just off I 26.

On our visit to Side Street last night, the people at the next table were from Greenville and come there often for the lasagna ($8.25).

But most people go for the pizza. It IS terrific. Four crust options (normal, thin, Sicilian and “crustless”). Crustless is an interesting option for carb watchers. Sauce options include “white sauce” or “red and white” or “wild mushroom pesto”.

Check out the ten “specialty pizas” or over 20 topping options. But for the traditionalists, italian sausage is exceptional.

As a “starter” don’t miss the “Sidestreet Wings” ($6.75 for a dozen) or the homemade Pasta & Fagioll Soup ($3.35 bowl; $2.35 cup.
