To start, let's talk about the appearance of this place. It honestly feels like as you're sitting there, at any time someone is going to bust in filming a scene for a mobster flick. It's got that old world Italian feel to it, very quiet and personal. They even have these cute personal jukeboxes you can play at your table. My significant other and I were taken aback by the sound choices and how old they were -- and that you could play a whole 'lp'. He has been going here since he was a kid and remarked that all the plates and cups and those jukeboxes had never changed in his entire life. Even the floors and the booths all remained the same. There's something really comforting about that.
Our server was an extremely polite older woman, who was very soft spoken and gentle. We really appreciated this approach over a lot of severs in restaurants we encounter that are very loud and boisterous and push things on you. She let us take all the time we needed and through the whole dinner was constantly attending us and making sure we were okay.
We ordered a small Bacon and Green Pepper pizza, fries for the table and a small tossed salad. The salad was exactly what I'd hoped for, very fresh and simple with very thin sliced onion -- a big bonus in my book. The fries were hot and crisp and absolutely delicious. They had that taste of oil that was heavily used. Not in the way it sounds. Like the oil was reused for everything, and all the flavors seeped in giving them far more flavor than you could find anywhere else.
And last but not least, the pizza. Aside from the bacon not being as we expected (crispy), it was one of the best pizzas I've had to date. If you're in the mood for a robust sauce, a good fresh mozzarella with amazing pull and extremely crispy crust -- this is where you need to be.
We're moving to Middletown soon and won't be near this anymore, but it's one of those places we will make time to come to regardless of distance.
Pro tip though, bring cash. It's all they accept. -

After driving by this place for like 15 years and smelling the pizza on the breeze, decided to stop in for some pie. Inside is old looking but clean, wait staff was nice as well. Ordered garlic bread with cheese, came out hot and was delicious. Ordered the West end special minus the mushrooms. Pizza was really good, came out hot and I enjoyed it very much. Next time I'm gonna ask to have it cut in pie shape, they cut it in squares which is whatever. Location and parking could be better, but that has no bearing on their food but still worth noting. I think your gonna enjoy the pizza here for sure.

One of the worst pizza places I have ever been too. The pizza was dripping with grease and soggy. I ordered it for pick up. when I asked for parm cheese they wanted to charge me for it. I couldn't believe it. Never going there again.

OK, we ordered again tonight from West End Pizza. This time my wife had the chicken parm dinner, I had a meatball grinder. They asked me on the phone if I wanted cheese & peppers on my grinder. I responded by saying, "cheese, but no peppers. No peppers". Not sure how they could screw that up, but there were peppers on my grinder, the peppers were melted into the cheese. Also, the meatball itself was sliced into large flat pieces. I thought meatBALLS should be round ? Not at West End Pizza apparently. The grinder itself was bland & flavorless. I did eat it all because I was starving after coming home from an all day fishing trip. But bottomline, it was pathetic.
Even worse was my wife's meal. The salad was weak -- brown edges on the lettuce, and some of the nastiest dressing she has ever tasted. The chicken parm was a flavorless breaded patty that was covered with bitter & burnt "marinara" sauce and greasy orange cheese. The spaghetti that came with the meal was equally as bad, inedible. Most of her meal ended up in the trash.
Awful and shameful, I really question how this place stays in business serving such lousy food.
