It's such a humble, warm neighborhood place, but the food? Truly a 10/10 comfort food moment. The pizza was so flavorful -- we ordered half pepperoni and half Hawaiian/cheese and every slice was amazing. The wings and potato wedges were delicious too, and I have to mention their house 1000 island, ranch, and even the ketchup... everything tasted so fresh and good. The atmosphere was honestly the cutest. There were regulars hanging out, people jumping up to sing karaoke, and a little arcade inside that made it feel like the perfect casual game-night spot. It's the kind of place where you can grab pizza to go for a movie night at home, or stay, have a few beers, and just enjoy the vibe. They also have 5 beers for $15, which you really can't beat. Elie took such great care of us and made us feel so welcome. He was incredibly friendly and thoughtful and even surprised me with a complimentary homemade brownie, which was another 10/10. Such a sweet touch. Even the DJ running karaoke was super professional, which made the whole night feel extra fun and lively. It's rare to find a place that feels this genuine and welcoming while also serving food that's this good. I'll definitely be back for the pizza again very soon. Highly recommend stopping by -- even if it's just to grab a pizza to go for a cozy movie night at home.

*Takeout Review We recently visited Pizza Twist in Riverside, hoping for a unique and flavorful experience with their Butter Chicken and Shahi Paneer pizzas. The concept was promising--combining the rich, vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine with the comfort of pizza. Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite live up to expectations. Let's start with the positives: the crust on both pizzas was fantastic. It was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of chew and crispiness--a solid foundation for any pizza. The addition of fresh tomatoes was a nice touch, adding a bit of acidity and freshness to the overall flavor profile. However, that's where the positives end. Both pizzas suffered from a significant lack of sauce. The Butter Chicken Pizza, which should have been a creamy and flavorful masterpiece, felt dry and underwhelming. The Shahi Paneer Pizza had similar issues--while the spices were there, they were too faint to make any real impact. The pizzas were also severely under-seasoned, lacking the salt that would have elevated the flavors. In the end, both pizzas had potential, but they fell flat due to the lack of sauce and seasoning. If they had been more generous with these elements, the pizzas could have been exceptional. As it stands, it's hard to recommend these particular options at Pizza Twist. They may be worth a try if you're feeling adventurous, but don't expect a flavor explosion. Check them out if you're curious, but for us, it was more of a miss than a hit. We hope Pizza Twist can make some adjustments, as the concept deserves a better execution. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

Pizza Twist provides a unique fusion of Indian and Italian cuisine, featuring an array of inventive toppings such as curry, tandoori, and tikka masala on their pizzas. The dough is notably crisp, and the flavors are well-balanced without being overly greasy. However, the meat can be a bit on the drier side. The outdoor seating area was a nice quiet area. While the staff were friendly, there was a lapse in communication regarding the wait time, resulting in a little over 30-minute delay before we had went in to double check and were then informed that our pizza had already been ready. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was enjoyable and offers a distinctive twist on traditional pizza. read more

This was a delightful surprise! First, the outdoor seating area was inviting, clean, offered heaters and the restrooms were very clean. Second, the food was fresh and made to order. This is pizza and not fast food, so order ahead if you're taking to go and in a hurry. Finally, what a pleasant flavor profile!! The tandoori chicken pizza was so yummy with fresh cilantro, red onion, ginger, garlic, chicken and our preferred level of spice. if you like Indian food and if you like pizza, you will LOVE Pizza Twist!!!! read more

I got fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, my wife got the mushroom artichoke fettuccine with their marinara. One of us got the italian bread and the other the garlic, so we could try both. Portions were pretty good, not enormous but definitely enough. The sauces were good, and the vegetables and pasta itself were all cooked to perfection. Can't say it was an unforgettable-tasting meal, but was at least as good as other restaurants nearby. Our waitress said she was relatively new, but she was very attentive and we never felt like it was hard to get her help or attention. Wish I had gotten her name to pay her a more formal compliment. It also happened to be one of their spaghetti special days, and $9.99 spaghetti with salad and bread is a great value. When we do come back it'll definitely be on another special day. Can't think of another Italian place nearby with the same portions for that price. My one and only complaint- I felt like the music was a HUGE missed opportunity. We went seeking cozy, and the old style booths provided a bit of that, but they were playing current country music hits the whole time. Would have totally completed the package and checked every box had they played something a little more on-theme. Nothing wrong with country music, but in a small, cozy italian restaurant, it would've been so much more immersive to play something Italian, or at least classical. Don't skip the good food and prices because of that, but hopefully a helpful suggestion to make the place just a little bit cooler!

Slice House is known for…read moretheir by-the-slice pizzas which come quick and hot in 4 different styles (new york, Detroit, Sicilian, and grandma style). The ingredients on all the pizzas I've had so far always taste a step above most other pizza spots. This is certainly the highest quality quick casual pizza place I know for sure. I usually get two slices as I'm a big guy, but honestly just one slice a drink would probably be good enough for most people. My favorite which they have every time is the "Wise Guy" which comes with pepperoni, two types of sausage, chili oil, ricotta dollops, and green onion. The crispy under crust might be the secret to making it a 10/10 pizza in my book. I also got the "traditional" this time which was a pepperoni and sausage Sicilian style pizza on fat square slice of foccocia bread. It's not as good as the wise guy, but the meat and cheese on soft fluffy bread is a killer combination. My friend got the chicken bacon ranch, another New York style slice. I wasn't as big a fan, but I I'm not usually a fan of chicken pizzas as it is so I'm sure others would still love it. He definitely did! The service is always quick and great and the slices cost between $6-9 if I recall correctly, which isn't bad for slices of this size and quality in my opinion. Note, I have been to a location at Universal City Walk which was way more expensive so the prices can change drastically based on location. Overall this place needs to be in your rotation if you like quick, quality pizza. I spread the word whenever I can!
