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.

The Cali Killer was mostly lettuce and tomato, barely any meat. And there was avocado on one small end of the sandwich but nowhere else. The Philly was just not good. There was barely any meat, and what little it had was obviously not fresh. I think they tried to over grill it to make it seem fresh but that just made it worse. There wasn't much cheese on it either. Overall it was dry and empty. The wings were OK but pretty soggy except for the edges. The ranch and the beer was good.

I just devoured the most mouth-watering Steak & Cheese sandwich at Riverside Crust Deli, and I'm still reeling from the flavor explosion! This unassuming deli in California is a hidden gem, serving up a culinary masterpiece that will leave you craving more. The tender, juicy steak is cooked to perfection and generously portioned, paired with a rich, velvety cheese that melts in your mouth. The crispy, golden-brown crust on the bread adds a satisfying textural element, while the fresh veggies provide a delightful crunch. What truly sets this sandwich apart, however, is the love and care that goes into crafting each bite. You can taste the passion and dedication that Riverside Crust Deli brings to their culinary art. Don't miss out on this gastronomic delight! If you're a steak and cheese aficionado, or just looking for an unforgettable meal, get yourself to Riverside Crust Deli and indulge in this phenomenal sandwich. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

I was drawn to visit this sandwich deli because of some Instagram reels. However, the location was a bit tricky to find as it was situated in a very industrial area. The people there were incredibly hospitable and made me feel very welcome. I decided to try the pastrami sandwich and the BBQ ribeye steak sandwich. Both sandwiches were good, with the pastrami sandwich being particularly massive in size! It was also quite salty, but then again, pastrami sandwiches usually tend to be on the saltier side. The BBQ ribeye steak sandwich was meaty and sweet, and I really enjoyed it. I plan on returning to try out their pizza and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious sandwiches. read more

I made an order through DoorDash while I am at work, I work in a situation where I'm unable to leave during work hours. After an hour or more of endless attempts to contact support I called the restaurant. I explained where I was and that I couldn't leave and they offered to bring it to me. I was so happy, and they quickly delivered. I will definitely return to a RiverCrust Deli in the future and I recommend that everyone else does too! Thank you again! read more

Our server, Savannah, was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions, offered excellent recommendations, and guided us through the menu as we ordered. Outstanding customer service from start to finish. 2. Menu - A The menu was easy to read and well organized. At first, the sandwich prices seemed a little high, but once we saw the size of the sandwiches, it was clear they were a great value. You definitely get your money's worth. 3. Italian Market - A While waiting for our food, we looked around the store and were impressed by the large selection of authentic Italian products. From canned tomatoes to a wide variety of imported pastas and other Italian specialties, there were plenty of quality items available at reasonable prices. If you enjoy cooking Italian food at home, this is a great place to shop. 4. Food - A+ We ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich with both hot and sweet peppers. The sandwich was outstanding, loaded with flavorful Italian beef, and the peppers were delicious. One warning--the hot peppers are very hot! Next time, we'll probably order it with all sweet peppers. We also ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich on focaccia bread, and it was amazing. The chicken was tender, the sauce had excellent flavor, and the focaccia was fresh and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Both sandwiches were generous in size and packed with flavor. Overall First Impression Tommy Salami's exceeded our expectations. Between the exceptional customer service, easy-to-read menu, authentic Italian market, and delicious food, it was an outstanding first experience. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Overall Grade: A+ Food for Thought: If you've never tried a cannoli, this is the place to do it. We decided to give the chocolate-covered cannoli a try, and they were absolutely delicious. They made the perfect ending to a fantastic meal!

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!
