This place came highly recommend and it did not disappoint . Lori was our server and she was a ball of energy that made the experience absolutely amazing . Although we did not have the pizza , it looked absolutely amazing and smelled great. The vibe in the building was great. Music playing in the background at the right volume allowed conversations to happen throughout the night. Fried mozzarella is highly recommend. Perfect crips to it and the cheese was gooey . If you're visiting or looking for a place to try, give River Oaks a try. You will not be disappointed . read more

We've been coming here for years, and always enjoyed our meals, whether it was dining in or takeout. Tonight we placed a to go order consisting of a small sausage pizza, a side order of sautéed broccoli rabe, and a side order of sausage. The pizza was terrible. It was dry, with very thinly sliced bits of sausage on it, and was not what we've grown accustomed to. My husband wound up throwing it out. The side order of sausage was sliced too thin and was drowning in red sauce. We didn't ask for it in red sauce, and removed the sauce. That left us with tasteless sausage. We added garlic and oil in an effort to give it some flavor, but the sausage was so dried out. It was like eating jerky. another wasted order since it was tossed in the trash. Whether it's a problem in the kitchen this evening or something ongoing I can't say. I'm hoping to hear from the owners in reply to this review so that we can evaluate whether or not will continue going or will call it quits. read more

Went here on Saturday September 4th 2026 with my dad. We were hungry for some pizza and decided to come here. Parked, walked inside and was greeted by a host who took our order. They didn't sell pizzas by the slice but had a personal pie and it cost $15.00. we got plain pizza as a personal pie. Pizza did seem to take pretty long but then again when one is hungry anything can take long. From what I remember though they did have lots of options regarding pizza just would have to be a pie. We paid via credit card. Took the pizza home and it was small but very good. Was it worth $15? Probably not. Will be back tho for their silician pie and to check out their restaurant! read more

Returned to River Oaks [~19 months or so later] and still a good pizza & pasta spot. Great servers & they were *busy* - working the July 4th weekend crowd. Booth seating for groups of four and movable tables for smaller or larger groups. You definitely should add ROP to your list of places to go when in Myrtle read more

If there was 10 stars I would pick that. One of the best restaurants I have been to. Bartenders are amazing and should train all of Mrtle beach on how it's done. Best pizza in town period. Hight quality food all around. Staff amazing read more

Went with friends and worth the trip from Carolina Shores. Very fine service from Jasmine was a highlight Eggplant parm was very good and the penne was graced with a fine sauce. Ample portions made for enjoyable leftovers. read more

We had dinner there recently. We absolutely enjoyed the meal, service and ambiance. We broke with routine and ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. Our meal was delicious, just too much bacon. I know sacrilege :), but this added too much salt. I also had their signature S'mores Old Fashioned. Quite delicious. Service was excellent. Our waitress Jilliana, was terrific. Ambiance was beautiful especially decked out for Christmas. Great way to end the year. read more

We had a great night! Shout out to the hostesses--they were super friendly and got us checked in with zero hassle. We did end up waiting at the bar for almost an hour, but honestly, the bartenders barely noticed we were there and it took a lot just to get their attention. That part definitely needs work. But as soon as we got to our table, everything changed. Madelyne was incredible! She was on top of everything, super sweet, and made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. The food was awesome as always, and my niece (who's been here a bunch of times) said this was her favorite night thanks to Madelyne. We left happy and will definitely be back--just hoping for better bartenders and more Madelyne next time! read more

I could not believe how fantastic the pizza was! We are from NJ and just bought a house in Myrtle Beach so of course we were concerned that we wouldn't find authentic pizza but this place absolutely changed our mind! They have a wonderful menu which also includes pasta, salads, and great appetizers! We shared the hand cut french fries which came with ketchup, a garlic mayo, and a pesto mayo which were amazing. I had the classic cheese pizza with black olives. My wife had a salad with crunchy breaded chicken. Both were amazing. They have a great cocktail and wine list. We will definitely be back! read more

River Oaks catered our community Christmas party, food was excellent, we will be going there more often. Chicken Marsala was so good, melts in your mouth, read more

The food in this place is average at best and it is overpriced. We had overcooked calamari, overcooked fries and not a great pizza. We were sat at the end of the bar, all the staff congregated there, speaking at the top of their voices. This ruined the evening that my wife and I were having. I will never return there again. read more

River Oaks Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This place only seems to take reservations and not walk-ins, which is frustrating on its own. Even when they do have a spot available, it's usually right by the front door. Nobody wants to sit there trying to enjoy a meal with constant foot traffic coming in and out. The inside is also very small and super loud, which makes it hard to relax or have a conversation. The pizza is decent best the overall dining experience just isn't enjoyable enough for me to want to come back. read more

Just want to update my review because this place deserves it. My initial review was during their first couple weeks open, and I can def say I was quick to judge. We came back a couples times after and their wings and carbonara just hit different. So creamy and flavorful. The wings idk why they taste so good but they do. The pizza does taste better than it originally did, we love the vodka pie. Def worth visiting read more

I thought I placed an order for delivery. My credit card was charged. An hour later they called me and asked if I was going pick up the pizza. Turns out they don't deliver. My mistake. The next day they refunded my credit card. Kudos to the management. read more

First of all? Im a foodie. Also, spent well over twenty years managing restaurants and bars. River Oaks Pizzeria is my favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach. No matter who's at the door? Always a warm welcome. My wife and I usually sit at the bar. It has great ambience and is beautiful. Again. Warm greeting no matter who's working it. Doesn't matter, regular or first time. Known Paige since they opened. A rock star. Simply an amazing and knowledgeable person. Ava is fantastic and always on her game. Justin is always helpful and is a true gentleman. All the best. I've hired hundreds of bartenders. Everyone is top-notch. There knowledgeable about the food which is always perfect. The pizza can't be replicated. Delicious and made with quality ingredients. I've had so many entrees that I enjoy? They have an incredible sauce. Red,white or garlic butter. All scrumptious. Please try it out. read more

Will you pay a little more here? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Food is always good and always fresh. Currently obsessing over the Vodkarita and the Penne alla Vodka Pizza. read more

I don't leave reviews all the time, but when it's a 3.8 on Yelp and a 4.4 on Google, there's something wrong. I read through the reviews and I swear people must think this is supposed to be a Michelin Star restaurant lol. This place is great! Pizza is amazing! If not the best, some of the best around!!! read more

Square pizza is decent, round pizza is so so. They charge full price for half-toppings. My 4 half topping pizza (2 toppings) cost $40.

Super yummy ! We visited for dinner, party of 6, and it was easy and quick service. They give free bread and olive oil and butter. We got the Eggplant Margarita pizza and the White Pizza with tomato- they both were very yummy! The quality of the ingredients were amazing and the flavor was chefs kiss! Overall great! read more

1st week open and it's a Friday night. Busy busy busy. Located in the Publixs parking lot at The Mill Plaza off River Oaks. Now it's 6 pm and they are turning away customers that are trying to place to go orders because the kitchen is so backed up. I was told the kitchen is open till 10 pm and close the doors at Midnight on Friday and Saturday. Wow! Sounds crazy to turn away customers. We had the fried calamari and a large cheese pizza. The calamari was overcooked. Inedible. The pizza on the other hand was delicious. Crispy bottom crust and a wonderful sauce and cheese blend. I'm just confused that this isn't their 1st pizzeria...why the confusion and choas with the flux of incoming customers? It appears to be a fine dining Italian establishment with pizza on the menu. FYI...there is an up charge for using your credit card vs. cash. Best of luck guys. read more

Food was great, service was fast in beginning, but waitress was busy & kind of dropped out.had eggplant chips, delicious!!! Go for it...ambience was bust, perfect set up to make me feel at home in NY read more

Excellent food, a bit pricey. Small quaint place, good friendly service. Will return whenever I want Italian food.

We really have enjoyed this restaurant before,and have had great food and pizza. Unfortunately our last visit may be are very last visit. My meal was average and my wife's chicken parm gluten free went from her favorite anywhere to below average. CHICKEN was tough and the portion was very small compared to our other take out visits. The price was more and quality was not. I will try again. Seems like they have forgotten what made them successfull ! read more

Great service by Megan while visiting the area. I would visit again next time I'm in town.

Stumbled across this place when we were checking out the area and it's was the best pizza I've had in a long time. Megan gave excellent service and I'll definitely be back! read more

Staff was friendly. Ordered a peperonni pizza. Picked up right on time and it looked and tasted like it was hours old. Won't be going back there again, too many other choices. read more

Didn't meet my expectations.. Pizza I ordered toppings were messy on top.. looks like someone just threw them on. Gave the pizza a very messy look. The pizza was so.so.. crust wasn't fully cooked. One of the veg toppings I got was cold. So it pdidn't meet the hype. Also, was very costly for what I got. I won't be returning. read more

So tonight we visited River Oaks Pizza for dinner. We have been here several times in the past and service and food were good. Not great but good, enough for a bite because it is on the way home. Tonight was an eye opener. Service did not start out well female blonde waitress not very personable, it goes down hill from there, hubby's dinner garlic and oil linguine came out and the garlic was burnt, he explained this to the waitress she didn't seem to care tried to say that's how it made he said no I don't want the garlic burnt. Came out with the food seemed like it was the same food just put a little different garlic and picked out some of the burnt. As he was eating the 2nd go around a long blonde hair (waitress had long blonde hair) was in his food. He showed the waitress she said no one in the kitchen has long hair he said it's not mine I have no hair. She didn't apologize, manager too busy tending bar with a bartender who was doing NOTHING manager NEVER CAME OVER to talk to us he was busy. They also raised their prices again. Go elsewhere obviously they don't take any pride in the quality of the food nor do they care about their customers. If we could a zero rating we would. It's just a factory now. read more

Fantastic! Great stopping place off the highway to get fresh, great food! Our server Ty was outstanding! Service, the food was fantastic, bathroom clean- everything was fantastic!!! read more

This place was just ok. We wanted to try it, glad we did, but we won't be back. We had 8 in our party, and it's a very small place. Almost $100 for 3 pizzas and a meatball appetizer which is way overpriced. We had a plain cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza and a buffalo chicken pizza. Others in our party had pasta, the portions looked like a good size. Their online menu shows calzones and cheese rolls, but we were told that was for take out only. The bar area looked nice, we aren't drinkers but I could see how some would enjoy that. The prompt service was good. read more
