Bar review- yes they have a bar. We entered on the side closest to the pho restaurant which is the entrance to the bar. What called us in was the pool tables. Once speaking with the bartender he told us the insides were just renovated- fresh paint, new booths, new tvs. They have pool tables, virtual golf machine, basketball machine. Pool tables are $2 per game or $5 for 3 games Virtual golf $4 for 18 holes, $1 for 9 holes, or .25 per hole Basketball $1 per game read more

Haven't been in a while since our last experience wasn't great, but this time was much better. Lily was our server and she was very kind and helpful. The menu has changed a bit and one of my favorite items is no longer available. However the kids enjoyed the pizza, I enjoyed my lasagna, and my husband had the meatloaf. All were very good. The place is feeling old and tired but the staff and food make up for it. read more

Very very very good pizza it was amazing the BBQ wings where the best actually everything was delicious read more

Romano's Chicago Pizzeria - Best pizza I've had in a long time also the bbq wings are amazing highly recommend spot - Pizza Near Me - Riverside, California

Our go to pizza place! The sauce is so flavorful in their pizzas. Not sure why this place has a lower than average rating- it's my family's go to when craving pizza and we still go even though it's over 30 minutes away. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Good Evening, I wasn't going to join my friends tonight to watch the NBA playoff game, we had excellent service tonight. Our server Lexi was engaging, very helpful, attentive and kept us entertained as well. She is definitely a hard worker and I must say her Mom has done a great job instilling excellent work-habits. I will bring my wife in for dinner, and visit Romano's more often, and ask for Lexi. read more

The location worked well for its sports bar pizza shop vibe. The server seemed to be attentive and gave us suggestions that were helpful in making decisions on what to order. I was excited to have Chicago deep dish pizza that I have been craving but was sadly disappointed. The pizza had the appearance of a deep dish but lacked the depth of flavor or texture. The crust was doughy like as if it was undercooked and the cheese visually was absent. read more

The deep dish really wasn't great. That little place in Moreno Valley, now that was great Chicago style deep dish.

We live locally but haven't eaten here in a long while. The wife and I came about 3 weeks ago. She got a burger that was fantastic. I got the risotto with chicken and mushrooms. I remembered this dish being awesome at the Romano's in Canyon Crest years back but this time at this location, it was barely OK. Kinda bland and excess butter started puddling up in the bottom of the dish where I had eaten some. That brings me to my more recent meal here a couple days ago. My friend got a gluten free pizza and an anti-pasta salad. He finished both and rated them very good. Me, unfortunately, got another bland meal. I ordered the Chicken Champagne. It's a very similar dish to chicken alfredo I'd say. Problem was, the only real flavor came from the cut up pieces of prosciutto. The sauce had no flavor. There were mushrooms in the dish as well. On the brighter side, the chicken was perfectly cooked and there were 2 decent sizes pieces. Luckily, there was pepper and parm cheese on the table to give the dish some flavor. Once again, excess butter puddled up on the plate. I used a couple napkins to sop it up before taking the leftovers home. The service, although very polite and friendly, was on the slow side just as it was when the wife and I were here before. We'll be back to try other things, but I'm definitely staying away from any of the pasta and risotto dishes that have a butter based sauce. read more

Love their thin crust pizza. The bar area is spacious and hidden in the back. We might plan a private party here

Came here for the deep dish pizza but saw the Cheeseburger being served to the table next to us so had to order it. One of the best burgers I've had in a looonnnggg time!!!! Highly recommend it. Also the Antipasto salad was delicious, love, love the bruschetta wrapped in the cheese on the salad and I love how they roll the Mortadella on the salad. Also ordered deep dish pizza which could've used more sauce but the waiter did give us some sauce to take home with our leftover pizza. Our waiter was great, although busy he was attentive. read more

Romano's has always been my hands down #1 pizza choice in SoCal but 2 of the past 3 times I've visited the Alessandro location they haven't lived up to that rating. They must have changed ingredients because something is just off in the taste and it's disappointing because I've been eating here for 20+ years. It's still good but just not "the best pizza" any longer IMO. read more

Love the staff here, friendly and very polite. Food was awesome!! Thank you for a great time ... read more

We were disappointed the pizzas were made poorly for us. May be short on cheese and fresh ingredients. We ordered a Chicago stuff pizza and we just got a thick crust pizza sauce flavor was good and the items in it . The dough wasn't cooked all the way. Kinda of chewy. The marguerite pizza just has fresh diced tomatoes, tossed on top basil was extremely dried, ( more of an oregano texture ) read more

Worst experience ever. We are dining in and placed our order at 6pm. We wait and wait, 40 mins go by and our pizza has not arrived. I asked the server and they say they will check. Another 10 mins ago by and nothing. Finally server comes back and they say something along the lines that they had an accident or something in the kitchen and that our pizza has not been done. Mean while I see other parties getting their pizzas. Then they tells us that they can make our pizza and it will be another 30 mins. I think they just forgot to enter our order in the system. read more

Long time customer 4+ years me and my family eat here 2-3 times a month. Recently they changed the recipe on the buffalo wing sauce. From what I gathered it seems they got a new chef and he's putting his own twist into the recipes. Please follow the recipes the regulars don't want change, also we understand the cost of doing business has gone up please don't ever sacrifice portion size or quality simply raise your prices we will gladly pay :) read more

I had been craving eggplant Parmesan for a couple of weeks so today 7/27/25 after Church, we went to Romano's on 285 Alessandro blvd in Riverside and was very disappointed! We ordered lasagna a side order of meatballs and eggplant Parmesan with garlic toast. After 45 minutes of waiting for our order we received a very skinny piece of lasagna with the side order of meatballs, eggplant Parmesan with a hamburger patty inside the eggplant and two pieces of cheese bread that we did not order being that they were so busy we took a bite of the cheese bread and it had absolutely no garlic butter flavor to it at all just white cheese. I was so looking forward to my eggplant Parmesan and I was very very disappointed the server was apologetic and said I'm sorry, but we're really busy in the back kitchen. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! When we moved here 5 years ago it was one of the first places we visited and now it's literally a place we go multiple times a month. For a weekday work lunch, family dinners, date nights, happy hours, everything. We love the restaurant side but even the bar side is fun for those adults only hangs. I've had the calzones, sissy pizzas, deep dish pizzas, so many apps, and tons of beers. Some of our favs are: the Chicago Fire (sissy), Fire in the Hole (no longer on the menu but they'll still make it), secret menu Cheese Curds, and even the kids Mac & Cheese is top notch. Staff is always great, sometimes there can be a rush but as long as you're patient you'll get wonderful service! read more

Romano's Chicago Pizzeria - Secret menu Cheese Curds! - Pizza Near Me - Riverside, California

The food is not worth the lack in customer service. We sat for 30 minutes with no acknowledgment by a server. We made eye contact several times with a server working the section we were sitting at, but she was only focused on serving the large party behind us. Not sure if she was going to be our server to begin with but 30 minutes is too long of a wait to be acknowledged by a server in general. We've been dining at this establishment for years so it is extremely disappointing that the service has gotten this unprofessional. read more

Solid four. Was in town and went a few times. Love the bar area and the trivia players. Keeps you coming back for more. Had the personal pan thin crust. Pretty good. Some of the better pizza in area in my opinion. Other meal I had was angel hair pasta with meatballs This is what needs help. You're an Italian place...pasta with no sauce and chucks of tomato's? Meatballs were baseball hard and burnt. I think with a little kitchen improvement this place could be better. Doesn't seem to bother anyone. Packed both times there. Come for the trivia, cold beer, decent bartenders but skip the meatballs and pasta dish's. read more

We traveled from Lancaster ca to bring birthday boy to try something new. He didn't expect to try this delicious deep dish pizza. He said I've had one of those from dominos, Pizza Hut and we laughed. We said just wait and see. You can see the expression on his face. It was super delicious, soft, fresh pizza. Our very fav. We are looking to visit again. This pizza was size large, the breadsticks were a good appetizer it hit the spot before the meal. Really nice atmosphere and cool spot. Restroom are big and clean, the restaurant also had a dope vibe read more

I'm done! I gave this place three chances only out of loyalty. All three times we had a long wait, over 30 minutes, to be seated (even with empty tables available), a long wait to get service, a long wait to be serviced. The kicker was the customer service, inattentive, inconsiderate, and even rude. It sucks. This place used to be great! read more

Great customer service. Pizza was ok, chicken piccata was yummy, but the lobster ravioli was absolutely inedible. It was super fishy tasting. What a waste of $24. Not sure if it was just a bad batch or if it's always like that. Definitely don't waste your money on it like I did. Big Guys pizza, shrimp ravioli, and antipasto salad is way better. read more

Their deep dish was missing crazy amounts of cheese and paid 3.50 for pepperoni which I rarely got any. It was cooked under 30 mins. It sucks saying these things because I madly love pizza. Wings and the ambiance was chill. read more

The food is not very good. It had absolutely no flavor. Kinda sad. I haven't been in a while and it is nothing like it use to be. Maybe different cooks who knows but should have some Italian flavor. It has no flavor. Kinda sad Manicotti is ok. Didn't like it. The stuffed pizza is boring. Everything is dependent on flavor and this food has none. I'm sure it's there sauce. Get some flavor. read more

Great place to watch Football, beers are cold, service is kinda slow, but it's always pretty packed. Enjoyed the brushetta sampler. They do have a lot of small bite options read more

Service is always great. But their pizza and beer are amazing. Don't get me started on the wings and salads too lol

We had the absolute worst experience here. The service was horrible. Eugene the manager has no sense of customer service. Will definitely never eat here again. Also we called in our order for in house dining, we got seated at a table and the manager had the waiter bring our food in to-go boxes even though we had a table inside the restaurant. Very rude and unprofessional staff. read more

The food was delicious. the only thing was that our pizza got to our table and was missing to the toppings that we ordered. They did compensate us for it, which was good. The ambiance of the dining place was great. Onion rings were delicious, and to be honest, maybe the best I've tasted in a long time. read more

First time at Romano's was a great one. We shared a Caesars salad and a small deep dish (30-40 min cook time). Plan ahead as we barely made our movie, but the pizza was worth it. Our server, Lily, was great! She was a great sport about losing a friendly bet. read more

We loved the pizza!!! Fresh ingredients- we be ordered thin pizzas(2) one pepperoni and the other Romano's with sausage, mushrooms, olives, green bell peppers. Pepperoni and ham. Good taste. Crust was excellent: crisp and not burned! The cheese golden and the ingredients were like BAM ! I could taste each one of them. There were tables with families. Other customers enjoying football game. The service was quick and pleasant. We loved the pizza, we will be back for other dishes! read more

Great food and atmosphere, been going there for awhile and it's always a great experience

pizza is fantastic.Their app is a scam though. better to call directly or order through their website otherwise you get a fee that is about double the tax for the privilege of using their app. It's labeled fee but doesn't say what it is but on !96 order it was about $8 plus the $8 tax. That's scammy though In sure it's a "convenience fee" -- the same scam ticket companies do. read more

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about honestly were here mid day on a Tuesday and this place as of moment has hit everything spot on! The food is gas! (Delicious) we had the pasta, we had the deviled eggs, we got the stuff crust pizza all bomb . Com the music also like who ever has the playlist going Tuesday 4/15/25 dope! Put this on repeat haha. The Lady serving us is beyond nice and super accommodating like for real no complaints on this place. read more

ordered for pick up, food looked great! put it in the oven for a few minutes to warm it up a few hours later, tasted below average and the dough was raw. it was chewy, like slimy play-dough. based on my experience, i would not recommend this pizza. who knows, it could of just been a fluke, but this was complete garbage. brodie on the phone gave a refund though. :) read more
