Pizza was great! Got the halal spicy beef. Ingredients were some premium stuff! Got it spicy and it was that Indian spicy! They also have great fries! Great service too!

Alison And Mike P.

Delish! Been wanting to try this place since I realized what it was (Indian fusion pizza). We got the paneer tikka masala pizza and it was fantastic. We'll definitely be back to try more.

Mia S.

Loved my pizza! Small Vegetation Twist, loads of veggies, creamy white sauce and lots of mozzarella cheese! No skimping here! Service was quick, and a very polite gentleman. Outside eating.

Butter naan, butter chicken, chana masala, and basmati rice!

Saw all of the great reviews and decided to stop by to check them out! Ordered the butter chicken pizza and 2 mega lunch deals with butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and the channa masala with both garlic naan and butter naan. Everything was delicious and fresh! Washed it all down with some creamy mango lassi! Will definitely be back to try their biryani and lamb burgers!

Pizza twist was a spontaneous visit and pleasant surprise. Indian flavors with pizza and breadsticks, wings, samosas and yogurt lassi. Really enjoyed the perfectly toasted crust on the tikka masala flatbread. You can taste the accents of masala and curry, personally I would love more of it. Definitely shareable! It's as big as the pizza box. I could drizzle that mango habanero sauce on everything. Perfectly spicy. Samosas were not fried, baked, crispy, good filling, nice and hot. I do prefer the traditional preparation but this was still enjoyable with the mango habanero sauce. Great customer service, clean interior small space to order food and outdoor seating only. There's heaters outside you may need to request them to be turned on if it's a chilly afternoon. Really wonderful first experience. Will be back for sure.

Butter chicken pasta! Lots of onions and cilantro! Love!

Ordered pizza and pasta that were Indian style! The butter chicken pasta was delicious. The Tikka masala pizza was great too! Will definitely go back to try more pastas and pizzas.

Cookies are my favorite & they had mini pizza of one

One of the Best tasting Pizza restaurants in town. If you haven't tried Indian style pizzas you are in for a big treat. If you love Indian food and the spices that they use, you will love Pizza Twist. I do have to give you a heads up. The prices are high compared to the regular pizza shops but, well worth the price. Also ask them what their specials are for the day. The specials are great. This is the way we usually order now. It saves us a lot of money. The restaurant is small so, most people order their pizzas to go or from a delivery service. The family are very nice who own this Pizza Twist. Try it, you will like it. I am sure. read more

If your looking for a unique pizza experience then this place is a must. It is a Indian cuisine style pizza restaurant filled with explosive flavors and fresh veggies. This place screams freshness. The prices are on the upper side, however, you get what you pay for considering everything is fresh and tasty. I tried the Mediterranean style pizza and im in love!

1. I agree with another person about how HORRIFIC the customer service is. I had an online order and they didn't start making it til I got there and I didn't even get there early. Wasn't acknowledged until I was at the counter and someone finally realized. 2. the music blasting was inappropriate and loud. 3. Maybe I'm being harsh but if you're going to hire people, make sure they're competent enough so that people don't collectively agree that their customer service skills are -10. read more

Wow. I wanted to try something different than the same kind of food everyone always has. This is a unique concept for sure. Definitely hit the spot. An explosion of flavor that'll get your mouth watering. I got the curry chicken & achari chicken pizza and mango lassi drink. Amazing. Perfect blend of spices that all pair well together. The crust itself was also "Goldilocks" not too this, not too that, just right. Perfect. The drink was very refreshing. Service was also awesome. He was very helpful in explaining the menu & sizes.

Tried the pizza for the first time, ordered the 3 idiot pizza. The pizza was just okay. Everyone needed to add hot sauce and ranch to bring a better flavor. Crust is nice and soft though. Probably wouldn't get it again sadly. Very pricey for it to not be that great. Service was good though, the guy on register was really nice.

I was out running errands, got hungry and tried Pizza Twist. Oh my gosh, what a pleasant surprise. The service was great, the young lady that helped me was so courteous and eager to tell me about the menu. In fact, I soon had about 3 people telling me about the menu and they were equally friendly and professional. The best part was when I got my single pizza, which was huge. It was absolutely delicious and the sauce was great. It was so much pizza I even shared with a few teens who sat near me and they also said the pizza was great and couldn't believe the size.

The banana pudding was also really good. I don't think there were actual banana pieces in it, but it still had great flavor. On top of that, the service was excellent. The woman taking my order was very kind and welcoming, and she was more than happy to answer the questions I had about the menu. Overall, a really good experience and I'll definitely be coming back.

And definitely a classier ambiance for a nice dinner out.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Riverside. I've gone here for over a decade and it's about time…read moreI write a review. Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

If I could rate separately for service I would give it a 5…read more This place is not lacking any help in the waiter and waitress department. We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

*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
