    Small pizza with chicken
    Masyn L.

    My husband and I got two personal pan pizzas and they were delicious! The guy at the register was really chill, but the ambiance was kind of eh. That didn't matter too much though, we just needed a quick bite. Definitely will be back whenever we're in the area again!

    Pizza and it's supposed to have mushrooms but barely any.

    I tried the Philly cheesesteak and the pizza. The cheesesteak wasn't bad but the bell peppers and mushrooms didn't taste very fresh, and there were barely any on the sandwich. The pizza looks great in the pictures, but it had a strange aftertaste, I couldn't tell if it was a crust or the marinara sauce. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the photos and it's not a place I would return to.

    Came here on a recommendation from a friend to try the Philly cheesesteak, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The location is a bit tucked away with not much foot traffic, but when I visited, the place was busy--which is always a good sign. The owner, James, was very friendly and suggested either the pizza or the Philly cheesesteak. I went with the cheesesteak, and it was easily one of the best I've had in California. Great flavor, cooked right, and very satisfying. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by. Solid food and great service.

    Service was really good and fast, very helpful with their menu. Food was served in a timely manner and was very tasty, gives off a nice homemade pizza taste. Much better than an average franchise pizza spot. Owner of the restaurant was very nice and shows how much he cares about his customers and the food he serves

    Great place that's up in the cut ! Lol it's where the old dmv used to be. I love the Philly Cheese ! I'm glad they're open on Saturdays now. Friendly service . Clean and nothing fancy inside but they have big screen tv . You can order online , which is user friendly. I haven't tried the pizza yet but I'm pretty sure it's like the sandwich" Fire" !

    The off the menu Pickle Pizza
    Joel S.

    This pickle pizza is delicious! If you love pickles, u gotta try this pizza out! It's off the menu, created by a fellow local city social media guy on IG, Mark from Riverside. Tucked in a business center but definitely known by many! They have a full menu of pizzas, sandwiches, even their signature Philly Cheese Steak. Everything made fresh and in house here! Love James the owner snd his amazing staff!

    The cheese pull on the pizza! It was so good and the T.B.A. hit the spot. Husband enjoyed his Philly cheese steak. Perfect lunch/dinner for a family of 3. Friendly service from the moment we walked in. Fresh AC. Friends and The Big Bang Theory played on their T.V.

    Food was amazing! We got a cheese curds with hot honey, cilantro aioli and a small pizza with pesto chicken and spinach. James made the pesto from scratch it was delicious. We also got a Philly cheese. Spectacular give me 17 of em! The food was made to order fresh and seems to be made with love and passion for the craft. James also had awesome customer service, friendly and witty. The restaurant was clean and smelled yummy as soon as I walked in. I will definitely be returning!

    Stopped by around 7:10 pm, about twenty minutes before closing, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They had run out of large pizza boxes earlier in the evening, but the person working quickly came up with a solution, which I appreciated. I ordered a large extra-cheese, extra-sauce pepperoni and sausage pizza, and it turned out to be the best pizza I've had so far in Riverside. We recently moved from the Bay and have been on the hunt for great pizza and good value. This spot is tucked away in a quiet warehouse area with a simple interior, but none of that mattered. The food delivered. The pizza came out hot, fresh, cheesy, and full of flavor. Several people came in for pick-ups while I waited, and everyone seemed to know exactly why they were there: the pizza. If you're looking for a solid, well-made pie, this place is worth the stop.

    This hidden gem does not disappoint. My husband and i have been here multiple times and its amazing every time. We tried the philly cheese steak and it was the best we have ever had. The owner is really nice and gave us the recommendation for the sandwich. The pizza was great as well.

    Always reliable service and good sandwiches! Super chill inside and the AC feels great with summer…read morearound the corner - speaking of summer, I hope my next beach trip I remember to pick up sandwiches from here for the perfect beach day! My personal favorite: Pepperoni on Sourdough My boyfriend's favorite: Salami, Avocado, and Sprouts on Whole Wheat with the works

    Found another winner after bookmarking it some 3 years ago. Yeah, I'm as bit slow on my follow-up…read more The big hit was the Chicken Pesto sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread. Two in our party of 6 ordered this, one hot, one cold. Basil pesto, done right, is a fave of mine, and this one was very fresh and flavorful. Loved the roll, requested it be toasted and add a slather of mayo as well. The shredded chicken filling turned out juicy, not dry. The two of us were very impressed. The others had their own ideas. A Philly cheese steak, an Italian classic, a Beef and mushroom, a Chicken Parmesan. Minor grumbling over the two beef sandwiches, the Philly did not have enough cheese (I agreed), the Beef & Mushroom was a bit short on mushrooms. I tasted most of them and as for the Chicken Parm, I simply did not care for the marinara. Bottom line, I definitely will return for anything with pesto. Prices are very reasonable. We each chose the 8" size (medium). They were quite filling, with most of our party bringing one half home. The fries were amazing, a big hit as well. Both kinds, regular shoestring style and thicker beer battered with some skin, were seasoned nicely and deliciously fresh. If I had to choose, the beer batter style was the better. Carbonated drinks are serve-yourself, so yes, refills. There are a respectable number of tables and booths for seating inside, but none outside. After all these years, glad I tried them. We shall return!
