    Pepperoni pizza XL

    XL Pepperoni Pizza 2x Hot Pastrami - BETTER THAN THE HAT Service Amazing Food Amazing Fresh ingredients Can't wait to come back ! ! !

    Philly cheesesteak with potato salad
    Alfonso D.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Philly Cheese Steak Sub, Ultimate Stuffed Avocado Salad, and  SINGLE SMASH BURGER

    Finally got to try their pastrami pizza. Bcuz they make their doughs in house everything here is so fresh and so good. I have no issues digesting their flour dough. Hope it stays this way. Tried their different hot sandwich and this was also melt in your mouth type of goodness! The owner is present at the deli shop and he is so friendly. Spacious, and air conditioned.

    BBQ Rib-Eye Steak Sub and large half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. EXCELLENT!

I've *never* had to wait longer than they originally quoted me, which is pretty rare these days! There's this one time that really sticks out, though. I'd asked for an extra-thin pizza, and when I picked it up, one of the guys there - I lovingly call him Pops - actually took one look at it and decided it wasn't quite "thin" enough by his standards. Before I could even say anything, he had them whip up a brand new one that was perfectly, exquisitely thin. Talk about dedication to perfection! Honestly, the whole team there is just fantastic; super friendly and always going the extra mile. And let's not even get started on the food - it's consistently delicious, and the prices are so fair you almost feel like you're getting away with something. If you're looking for a new go-to, I cannot recommend them highly enough. You won't be disappointed!

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.

    I absolutely love this pizzeria…read more A month or two ago, I reached out to the owner after feeling frustrated with some inconsistency in the quality of pizza following a change in management. The owner got back to me right away and genuinely listened, promising to look into the issues I had experienced with my last four orders. Since then, I've been ordering periodically including Super Bowl Sunday and now Valentine's Day, and I can honestly say the difference shows. Every pizza has been consistently delicious with great flavor, a perfectly cooked crust, and a team that clearly cares about delivering quality pizza and customer service. Even with a new pizzeria opening in town that's backed by a well known chef, Antonio Pizza continues to stand out. The quality they're putting out feels Michelin star worthy. Thank you for serving the Riverside community and for always bringing a smile to my family, especially my three year old who's also a huge fan. Keep up the great work and wishing you continued success

My daughter also complained that every time she orders her pizza over the phone, she doesn't get the pizza on the 15 minute wait time they told her. It happened twice already and they seem to make her order only when she arrives to pick it up. She was really disappointed waiting another 15-20 minutes in the parking lot.
