|East Side Cafe: Cheap and Easy|
03:09PM / Saturday, November 10, 2012
378 Newell Street, Pittsfield, Mass.
Pizza, pasta, full bar, takeouts
So, it’s Thursday night and you’re looking to get a pizza and a beer. There are probably more pizza places in the Berkshires than any other kind of restaurant but they’re not all created equal.
Many are pitched as "family restaurants” some are just plain ugly and the pizza is all over the place too.

|A Summer Place|

1575 Pleasant Street, Lee, Mass.
Between Lee and Stockbridge

|Baba Louie's Facebook Special|
11:13PM / Saturday, February 04, 2012
So it's Friday afternoon. Your energy is used up for the week and there's still a dinner to be made or bought or found. You find yourself idly scrolling through Facebook at 4 p.m. When you notice it — Baba Louie's is offering a special deal!
This happened to us last week and it's one of the reasons why it pays to "Like" your favorite restaurants on Facebook.
The Berkshires may not have a Groupon of its own yet but last week Baba Louie's offered a special as good as any you'll find on the major coupon sites. Come in, mention the key words from the Facebook post and you got 50 percent off your dinner tab. Not 50 percent off an entree — 50 percent off the whole bill.

Anyone calling Moulton's Pizza in North Adams got a new message: "Hi, this is Supreme Pizza, formerly Moulton's."
The new salutation — along with new, slimmed-down menu — began earlier this week but the transformation began taking place some two months ago when Antonio's Pizza Group bought out owner Turgut Aydin. Area residents will also be getting the new menu in the mail.
The restaurant is open to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 on Friday and Saturday.
Manager Spencer Leonard said the group was bringing the same sensiblity to North Adams as it has to
