The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Hidden gem in Riverside. Will go again.

Plain and simple,, best Pizza I had to date. Fresh mozzarella and pepperoni yum. The classic red sauce was perfect not too sweet or overly seasoned. Ordered a Philly cheese just to try it out also..... bomb! Quality rib eye steak was tender and juicy, melt cheese and the bread OMG. Cashier was very friendly and I think the owner served me my pizza which was awesome got to connect with the cook which is rare. It's tucked off in a corner of Riverside little quote pizzeria I think needs more Recognition. I definitely will be back the pizza alone was enough to make me a life long customer read more

Rivercrust Deli & Pizzeria is located in riverside off the 215 freeway in a commercial building area. This is definitely a hidden gem as it is tucked away where people would not pass by on their commute! This location features indoor seating only with short tables. It's best to order ahead as this is a popular place for lunch! I came here mainly to try the the Philly cheesesteak because I had heard how amazing it was and WOW, did it deliver !!! It's truly the best cheesesteak I've ever had and I wished I had ordered two. The owner James told me he makes the bread fresh and it truly sets it apart from others ! I also tried the supreme pizza, bread sticks with dipping sauce, turkey club sandwich, smash burger AND a secret menu item : butter cake with fresh berry compote and vanilla ice cream. Everything was tasty!! They also offer catering and I definitely want to use them one day for an event !

Had the pastrami sandwich and the pastrami meat was not fat and grissly as other places that charge alot more for the sandwiches and then found out they have a pastrami pizza. Will definitely go there many more times. read more

Had to try the Philly after seeing it pop up in my social media feed. I'll definitely be back again. Sandwich was on point!

There comes a time is one's life where you have to just say. F- it. This is one of those times. I could NOT. stop. eating. The PIZZZAA!! Omg. BEST pizza I've had in a very long time. 10/10!!! The perfect crisp but soft and chewy crust, the perfect sauce, the CHEEESEEE, the fresh toppingsss!! (I'm screaming as I write this.) seriously. Go. Go now. Also tried the Philly cheesesteak and it's equally delicious. The server was very pleasant and friendly. Got my food to go and was nice and quick. I'll be back because now I have to try everything. Say good bye to my abs. Thanks. read more

This hidden Gem in Riverside is the best secret. The food and service is like a neighborhood restaurant. I have never had a bad meal here from pizza to smash burgers you have to experience the food magic that happens here. I think I've figured out the secret ingredient used it is the chef's love for delivering delicious food. Also I can't forget if you want to watch any sports games go to RiverCrust with those huge TV's you can enjoy watching your favorite team! read more

Our first time visiting RiverCrust Deli. They are now open Saturdays. Ordered a cheese pizza. The crust was perfect not too thick or thin. Sauce was very flavorful, a hint of spiciness. Our new go to place for pizza. read more

TBA sandwich is great, never had Pastrami with cheese before and it was also really good.

This place exceeded my expectations the second time around . I was greeted right away by the cashier . I was quoted an actual time on how long the pizza would take . The pizza even came out sooner than I expected . You can tell that everything is super fresh from the dough , to the pizza sauce, and the cheese . I can tell this place takes a lot of great pride in not only their food but their customer service . If Im in the area I will definitely make it a point to stop by here any chance I get . read more

Came with my boyfriend to this place since there were a lot of raving reviews! our friend behind the counter told us they were known for their Philly cheese and limited time food items and aswell as desserts they carry! Of course it would've been nice to order their best rated items on the menu but we wanted to give the other items on the menu a try! 2 BTA s , cheesy breadsticks, and a margarita pizza with two fountain drinks. Here's the crazy part! Getting our items and eating we found it really pleasantly light! None of the foods were heavy in the stomach or greasy like other chain restaurants which was my favorite part. I appreciate their love for their food and how much they value their customers ‍ TY!! (Here's there most recent hours if your interested in coming!) read more

It's a hidden gem! Loved the sandwiches! only thing was we were there right when they opened so it was slow to get our food but worth the wait! read more

Fresh sandwich very flavorful, potato salad on the sweeter side but still delicious, pairs well with the TBA. Small restaurant with little to no decor or ambience, but the food is worth a working day lunch visit. Employees were welcoming and nice, they take phone orders also, was ready by the estimated time. read more

Really fresh food. Work nearby the restaurant so it's helpful because there's no other restaurants within walking distance. Pizza is very fresh. Can sometime be a long wait so be sure to place order ahead of time. read more

Ordered a small cheesesteak pizza. It was hot and delicious but, for $15 and some change, it would have been nice to have more than a sprinkling of the steak; you could clearly see and taste the mushrooms but the steak was sorely lacking. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside; it was tasty and the chipotle sauce was a nice touch to the pizza. I would buy it again, but I'll ask for them to be a little more generous with the steak topping, because who wants to spend $15 for some bread with cheese on top? read more

Food is amazing. They cook everything fresh to order so expect a wait when ordering inside the restaurant. This is one of the few places where the wait is 100% worth it. Food is fresh, very flavorful and delicious. Everything on the menu is fairly priced and well-portion. I will be recommending this place to friends, family and strangers! read more

Such a solid place to grab Sammies n pizza! I'm coming for the wings n salad next!!! Do not think you can order last min during lunch cause they are super busy and have small staff to accommodate high volume orders. Plan a little bit ahead and support a small biz that serves food with love and flavor! BTW I always wanted to try and followed RCD on instagram...luckily I entered a contest on instagram and was a winner from what's up with Riverside and RCD for a generous gift card!! Thank you RCD https://rivercrustdelipizzeria.toast.site/order AND thank you What's up with Riverside https://www.instagram.com/whatsupwithriverside?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA== read more

I went to Rivercrust Deli this past Tuesday night as a first-time customer excited to try the Italian sub. I got there at 6:45 pm to find the doors locked. There was no indication online nor on the door that their hours had changed for the day. I knocked on the door because I saw an employee inside. I did not receive any acknowledgement, not even the courtesy to tell me they were closing early for the night. I knocked again and the employee went to the back and started texting on his phone. Gotta say I'm disappointed and will not be returning. Bummer because it's close to my house and I love to support small businesses when possible. read more

Great pizza! Ordered an XL supreme and chicken wings for delivery. Wings OK but pizza soooo good. Will go back to try the Philly cheesesteak sandwich! read more

A gem of a place to eat...the owner is always in a great attitude and the food is made with love. The hot pastrami sandwich is amazing and look forward to trying their pizza in the near future read more

Smells delicious the moment you walk in. The service is quick, friendly and efficient. The location is off the 215 in an industrial park and easily accessible with lots of parking. The food was delicious! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Great food with quality ingredients. The pizza sauce is not too sweet, and the toppings are high quality. The crust is really what puts this pizza on the map read more

l was surprised that such a little gem was tucked away in a very unassuming location. Their pizzas, Philly cheesesteak, pastrami sandwich, cheese bread, and fries are phenomenal. read more

It was ok. I got a BLT that was average. Nothings comes with it. My friend got the pomedoro. They loved it. We came back the next day for more pasta but they were no longer serving it. Very obscure location. read more

Always exceptional food and service at RiverCrust! One of my absolute favorites in Riverside/MoVal.

Do yourself a favor and go check this gem out! I decided to try a new pizza place for dinner and came across the RiverCrust Deli on Yelp. When I called the lady on the phone was very friendly and took my order with ease! Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the food because we were just eager to try the pizza but we got a large pizza and some cheese breadsticks. The location of the shop is kinda hidden and I'll admit I got lost when gps said I had arrived. But after driving down just a little more down and there it is tucked in the corner. Inside is very clean with a few tables to sit at while you eat or wait for your order. The food was ready when I arrived and it was so hot that you can feel it through the box! The pizza has such an amazing flavor that made us eager to go back soon and try different topping combos. The breadsticks at first thought looked like they might lack a little flavor but I was wrong! All the cheese on top mixed with dipping it in marinara sauce makes it the perfect side for the pizza. Definitely cannot wait to go back and get some more pizza! read more

I absolutely love this place. I work around the corner and try to come here as often as possible. Their low carb avocado chicken salad is to die for. read more

Hands down one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've ever had!! The meat was tender, the bread was fresh (I think they make it in house) and the chipotle mayo put it over the top!! We also ordered the Cobb salad and that was also delicious. This place knows what they are doing! The owner and all of the staff we interacted with were friendly and treated everyone like they were regulars. read more

Update... Went in for lunch today, and had the fantastic pastrami sandwich. It was delicious! I have been lucky enough to eat at Katz's and Sarge's in NYC, both legendary for their pastrami. This was on that level, and half the price. Pillowy roll that didn't disintegrate while eating, great lean but flavorful meat (and lots of it), and cheese melted over the top as the finishing touch. Pickles and mustard added enough tang to balance things out. Great! read more

Soooo good and great service. Pizza was amazing and delicious would def give them two thumbs up and then some lol read more

Took 30 minutes just to get 1 sandwich with an empty waiting room. Made no sense. They even had a line and no one came to help out.

We had the Philly cheesesteak. Always on point!!! The bread is so soft, the shaved beef, peppers and cheese just melt in your mouth. As greedy as I like to think I am, I can only eat half; however, the other half heats up perfectly in my air fryer. read more

Todays choice was a large pepperoni pizza to go and a Philly cheesesteak for the wait and my good God it was THE BEST CHEESESTEAK EVER HAD THE PIZZA smelled up my car so much we didn't event pullout before opening the box to have a slice. 10/10 read more
