    Solid pizza option in Riverside. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, and the crust was puffy and delicious, but the toppings lacked some flavor. When we ordered at the counter, the employee was professional and politely served us. The restaurant has a somewhat run down feel, with yellow walls and crimson seating. Some of the seats did appear to have some wear and tear. Overall a solid pizza option for those looking to break away from the chain restaurants.

    Pizza is good, ranch is delicious but they charge over $1 for ranch when I think it should be offered before you leave the counter and more should be given when you order a large salad. Place could use some better lighting and staff isn't so friendly.

    The Common Clay of the New West (Makes a Great a Pizza Pie) Mission Report: DeMatteo's Pizza Call in Order Objective: Fuel up before an event at the Parent Navel Orange Tree across the street. The Hardware (Food): The pizza here... well, it's an absolute win. We are talking high-tier specs: fresh ingredients, excellent cheese viscosity, and a crust that holds up under pressure. Visually and tastefully? The kitchen knows exactly what they are doing. USAUSA USA USA USA USA USA usa USA The Software (Atmosphere): You've got to remember the context here. This spot runs on a very specific frequency. It's not a polished corporate chain. It's a dedicated local pizza service. The vibe is "straight-to-business" after you tie up your horse and shake off the dust just let yourself into the swinging doors and meander up to the bar and let their chief ofstaff know you are here to trade currency for your catering order - maybe you grab your own cup, you find a spot, and you listen to the lively commentary while you wait. Because you've got to remember that this pizza fuel everyone, drifters, heros, but most california locals. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know... Riverside County enjoyers xD Verdict: The order took a little very little time to compile (freshness takes rendering time), but the final product was 100% worth the wait. If you want a real Riverside experience with food that slaps; this is the spot. Just buffer your schedule a bit so you can relax and enjoy the local bandwidth.

    They have Parmesan , chili flakes packets.

    Cashier was very nice and explained the lunch specials. We ordered and everything was fresh and delicious. Omg the breadsticks were unreal. We ordered individual pizzas, a sub, mozzarella sticks. The pizzas were perfect and tasty. Couldn't get a pic of the sub because my hubby ate it so fast. He said it was the best. Excellent service, amazing food. Def will be going back & highly recommend.

    Having grown up in the NYC tri-state area where it's actually hard to find a bad Mom and Pop italian restaurant, it's the complete opposite in SoCal to find a great Italian pizza parlor restaurant that's not washed down or fusion crap that's so far from the OG recipe or style. I've been trying different items from this restaurant, Pizza, manicotti, subs and now the calzone. Perfection! perfectly cooked, crispy crust and chew of the dough, marinara sauce is on point with the perfect tang and seasoning. Staff has always been friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place and I'm so glad I was told about this place which is hidden and tucked away in a strip mall. Will remain on my lunch rotation and go to local Pizza parlor.

    Delicious pizza and mozzarella sticks, as always! I had a Dr. Pepper with my meal, and it was perfectly carbonated--not flat at all. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I always recommend DeMatteo's pizza!!

The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed by their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich! Note: street parking or pay in a nearby lot

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.

We also had the Loaded Grilled Cheese which was perfectly toasted and cheesy-gooey as well. 2nd Breakfast was the Peanut Butter Picnic Toast which was divine, my wifes favorite, and perfectly pairs well with the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Iced Coffee. And I had the Pastrami & Pepperjack Breakfast Sandwich which was amazing and best part was the folded egg was still hot at last bite. This was my favorite. My wife had the Orange Blossom Iced Coffee and loved it. Really looking forward to going back with family so they can be in love as well!
