Good local American food. Great daily specials and happy hours. It's our go to pizza. Our family from Indiana always insists on getting the pizza when they come out. Service is sometimes, ehh, which is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Had some great pasta and pizza from this happening place in Oswego that's always crazy. It has plenty of seating but there's always a wait it seems. Riverside Pizza & Pub is one of the better hangouts for those having good times. A wait is worth it mostly. The prices are okay for the big portions. Coming in here it was a few minutes before getting seats at the bar. It's often a longer wait for getting a table. There's often games people are watching. A great place to come for it. Has plenty of big TVs on the walls. It's about $8 a pint for local beers. That's kind of a lot. A lot of cocktails are cheaper at happy hour. It's about $11 for a martini. These of course go pretty great with Italian food and they're cheaper at the happy hour too. It's about $13 for the Build Your Own Pasta. You choose sauces and toppings. Of course pizza is the main thing to get. There's a lot of great specials Got stuffed eating so much from here. It's got a couple other locations which are pretty much the same things to get really. There's always a crowd especially on weekends. read more

When my wife and I were trying to figure out where to through our daughter a graduation party, we look at a number of places. We became a bit overwhelmed, and decided to just go with Riverside due to it being close to home. After the party we couldn't be happier about our decision. The room was perfect size, the food was good, and possibly even more important, the wait staff was incredible. We were able to enjoy ourselves, mingle with our friends and family, and not once be concerned about the food or beverages. When the party was over we settled up the bill and I was amazed at the amount of food and service we had received for the price. I highly recommend, if you need a place to have a celebration, that you look into Riverside pizza and pub in Oswego. read more

I've had lunch here several times with co-workers & this place is very consistent in terms of food quality. They have one of the best wings in my opinion, crunchy on the outside & tender on the inside. My other go-to is the super juicy, tender & tasty Pot Roast sandwich. Service is pretty quick (this is critical for lunchtime). That have plenty of seating & the environment is lively with a few monitors broadcasting sports. Oh, I forgot to mention their personal pizza is also pretty good. read more

Just had the best bowl of chili on this freezing day. Yum!!! Great service and atmosphere too. read more

Went to visit my friend yesterday for dinner and decided to get Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza from Riverside Pizza & Pub. The pizza took 45 minutes to get ready I ordered half cheese and half jalapeños. Pizza was super thick and tasted fresh! The Pub has a warm and sporty ambiance. read more

Generally the food is pretty good. I like the monthly specials and half-priced days. *but, please train your servers that beverage cans don't go INSIDE the pint glass before serving them and you don't put the check tray in the take home containers. All those things carry so many germs. read more

Our food was good and service was pretty quick and friendly. Hubs and I split the bruschetta chicken sandwich and pot roast sandwich- both very tasty and plenty of food! I liked the chicken one the most. Kids enjoyed their cheeseburger and Mac n cheese- both large portions. We've ordered pizza from them a bunch of times- recommend The Don- we get it without giardiniera or ask for light. read more

Nachos are flavorful, solid pizza. The soda is fire a must. Check it out! Service was slow and tables sorta flow together.

Where do I begin? Their food is awesome. Their drinks are great but tell me why the last few times we've been there. We've sat there for about 15 minutes before anybody came acknowledged us. Everybody else around us was getting served except for us. I finally had to get up and ask what was going on after that we had more people waiting on our table then we knew what to do with, but why should it come to that I noticed a person walked in and sat in the table behind us. The guy had his beer within minutes of sitting down. It's a pretty nice place. Just their service is really bad. I emailed them and they never got back to me about the situation and probably never will. The wife and I frequent that place multiple times a month and every time we go between drinks appetizers and food we spent closer to $200 every time we go. Needless to say we won't be back. But if you go try their nachos, they're the best. read more

i went inside and immediately was treated like the worst person on the planet. the entire staff team were so rude to me i had to leave. worst dining experience ever read more

First time ordering from here. Pizza was just ok. The crust was hard & tough. Not enough flavor. Served cold. The giant pretzel was hard. Not soft & warm as it should be. I was told a different price 3 times. This was on a weeknight, so I don't know what it would be like on a weekend. Won't be going back. read more

The food is great, half price deals 4 days a week. Great place to watch a game or just hang out with friends. Pizza has a choice of five different crusts. I've had two and they were both great. The music could use a little tweak but it won't stop me from going. read more

First the good: The food was outstanding. I had a great Supreme Pizza for lunch. My wife had a huge bowl of salad which she enjoyed. The not so good: Wait service was terrible. It was lunch time and I can understand being busy and wait for the food was long but within tolerance. However, after the meal was delivered, our waitress never came by the table again until the bill. I finished my iced tea and was never offered a refill by her or other wait staff. When she delivered the bill, she said "be right back" and she didn't return. I paid by cash and walked with it to the counter after a wait. I handed it to another waiter who stared at me for a minute before offering to take it. Noise level from so many patrons was very loud. Ceilings are high and I would think some hanging baffles would do wonders for that. In future, any business I do here will be take out. read more

The pizza was ok. It came out quickly and was still hot on a very busy day, which was great. Staff were friendly. The down side was a constant stream of flies landing on our pizza and us. We ended up having them throw out 75% of the pizza. Maybe I'll come back in the winter and hopefully the fly situation will be worked out. read more

So the pizza here is good, but it's just not amongst the best I've ever had. What's nice is that they are generous with the toppings, so you will find that your pizza will be thick due to the quantity of toppings on it. Please familiarize yourself with the specials available on a given night. The night I went rail drinks were available for three dollars. What really pushed this restaurant over the edge for me was the salad. I love salad and I'm picky when it comes to salad dressing. To me salad dressing is everything. Here it is especially good and it tastes homemade. I had a deconstructed wedge salad (possibly because it was chopped as opposed to in a wedge) which I prefer. I had a combination of ranch and blue cheese dressing and I absolutely loved having it in combination. I also asked and was provided with croutons. At some point I will get a pizza again, but I'm looking forward to trying something different like a burger. I also look forward to trying a different dressing like perhaps Cesar. I have been to other locations and the experience is consistent in terms of quality, food, and beverage. read more

We ordered a pizza and it was fantastic! Cooked perfectly and the ingredients were fresh. We have ordered before and this has always been the case. It was a Sunday evening and little wait time. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars--this visit deserves a 10. First off, our server Bethany was incredible as always. She kept our drinks filled and checked in several times, making sure everything was perfect. Then came the star of the night: the Pizza of the Month, Coney Dog Pizza. It's described as beanless beef chili topped with Angus beef franks, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, finished with raw onions and yellow mustard. We asked for the mustard on the side, but honestly, we didn't even need it. The pizza was unbelievably good. The chili was flavorful without being overwhelming, the hot dogs were sliced thin and cooked just right, the cheese blend was spot-on, and the raw onions tied it all together. Absolutely outstanding. read more

Great service and great pizza. Local restaurant with a lot options besides pizza . Kids love this place and so do adults

Coldest day of the year ! Below zero all day.. and no chili.. can't make this shit up. Just unreal

Our server, Katlin was great. The ambience was nice. Nice modern decor. Music in the background, but still able to talk to each other at your table. My burger was great! I had the California burger. Very tasty, juicy and made well. Fries were not over cooked or over salted. This was a place I was going to pass on, but I am so glad I didn't. read more

3 stars. The ambiance is really nice for a bar. It didn't expect from the outside Service was okay nothing really stoodout. I didn't like the margarita pizza the tomato chunks canned and too big and not much flavor. The giant pretzel was really good and huge perfect pub appetizer. The pasta big portions and easily shared it was pretty good had a smoky flavor to it. I noticed they have trivia on some nights but did not catch when. read more

I am super impressed with what they did with the old Scoreboards! The inside is nice, clean, and spacious and the new menu has a ton of delicious looking options. They offer daily specials and happy hours. We went on a Tuesday early evening, which meant 1/2 price pizza and happy hour with $3.25 beers. The place was super busy, but we were still seated right away. Our waitress gave great service, and she made sure to check on us right before happy hour ended at 6 to see if we wanted to put in one more discounted drink. The beer was cold and the food was good. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. My family got a half sausage, half pepperoni and they seemed to like that as well. The cheese blend they used was really good and the sausage side had big pieces of sausages on it. read more

So I am not sure where to start. From the food to the service everything was well below par. The servers had little to no concern about the guest. It was more about trying to get you sat, fed and out. They lacked customer services skills on many levels. The food was a burnt pizza covered in way to much sauce to cover up the burnt im guessing. The energy of the place felt more like a bar then it did a restaurant which is OK but wouldn't recommend it for a place with kids. Over was pretty disappointed. Won't be going back. read more

This is a phenomenal restaurant and if you're from Oswego or the surrounding area then you have no excuse for not stopping in. They have weekly specials that bring in a pretty decent crowd so if you were coming in for dinner, you might want to plan ahead. Pizza nights are the bomb - 1/2 price! Try it - you'll love it! read more

Came for dinner with the family. Great spot! Really enjoyed our food. Pizza is fantastic, kids loved it. We also got the Riverside salad, which was great. As well as the penne pasta with vodka sauce and garlic bread. All were really good. Love the setup, and the service was great too! Seems like a great place to catch a game on Sundays. read more

This place is great! Was staying nearby and ordered a pizza to go (custom) and they were so quick and the pizza was delicious! I loved that they cut it in little squares. If ever I was back in Oswego I'd certainly return. read more

Marissa, Emma, Jensen were amazing we got our food quick and drinks were spot on and we didn't wait long for new drinks

Ordered a pizza to be delivered and paid over the phone. Within 2 hours received 4 fraudulent charges from the bank. I called them and asked to speak with a manager which I told them what happened, and they should be aware they have some criminals working for them. Be very careful using your card here and be aware of any fraudulent charges after you leave/order. read more

The pizza is delicious. The atmosphere in there is typically loud and not with people talking, but music blasting. The management is inexperienced and allows friends to break the law in there. read more

Food is normally great and one of my favorite places to eat but, last few times I have ordered one of my favorites (southwest salad with grilled chicken), it's been about 1/2 to 3/4 size it normally would be. Very disappointing since 2 of the salads cost $39.00 dollars with a free delivery coupon. Pretty pricey salad, especially if you are only getting 1/2 of it. read more

Had high hopes they did not deliver. Got the Chicago style which was extremely dry. Ordered it supreme which had canned olives and mushrooms which I figured would have been fresh. The beer was localish and $8. They charged a "convenience fee" of $1.27 because I used my card. No where was that advertised and the server did not tell me when I paid with my card. Overall it was not worth over $30 I spent. Should have just gotten tacos. read more

The food here was really good. The salads tasted fresh, and the pizzas were yummy. Even though the food was very good, the service wasn't great. Once my group was seated, the restaurant started to get busy. Our server took our order and wasn't seen again until the end or our meal. A different server had to jump in for our server. We waited over 30 minutes for our salads and pizzas. And had to wait awhile for refills. Overall, I think it was a good restaurant, and I am planning to return soon. read more

This place looks like it would be so good. They have big window tables for indoor/outdoor seating and a full bar. Their fryer was down so they had a sign saying expect delays. However, we were seated for over 17 minutes without waters. They didn't provide a kids menu so I'm not sure if this is the best place for kids. Their bathroom is a gender neutral (which is a plus) single stall. The door locked but it opened from the outside with a little push and the other two restrooms were labeled "employee only". I hope they figure the service out soon. I wi try this place again without kids when I can just order from the bar. Check back for updates. read more

The food here is amazing and the girl who took care of us (Morgan L) she was perfect!! Always checking in on us and making sure we had everything. However the reason I don't give it a 5 star is because of the little blonde white girl that stands at the front. When my boyfriend and I walked in, we weren't greeted by her at all. She actually seemed annoyed when we walked in. My boyfriend then proceeded to say hello and said it was two of us and we wanted a table. She ignored us. So when she said hello, I didn't acknowledge her. She then proceeded to get irritated by us ignoring her after she couldn't even do her simple job of greeting properly. Maybe next time don't put the girl with the resting bitch face and attitude at the door. Thank you. read more

Riverside doesn't take reservations; but was able to accommodate our party of (20) for a 1st Communion celebration. That aside, the food is always delicious & generous in portions. We've had ALOT off the menu: pizzas of course, the giant pretzel, meatballs & marinara, the bruschetta & so much more. The salads are HUGE (note they charge .50 cents a pop for extra Ranch; but it's a large amount). I wish I'd thought to take pics to post with this review; but all the food was devoured quite rapidly. Thank you Riverside for doing a great job. read more
