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.

The butter cake wasn't too heavy. It was still fluffy!

This time our lemon pepper wings had close to no seasoning at all and, again, no salt in the seasoning. The pastas we ordered, while still a good taste, now are coming with much less.

This isn't the quality we are used to, and this is unfortunate since our orders are always large and between $80-$120 each order. I'm not sure if or how often we will order here moving forward.

We wanted to try a couple of different things than we normally order so we also got the boneless wings with the special sauce, a California Killer, and a Philly. The Cali Killer was mostly lettuce and tomato, barely any meat. And there was avocado on one small end of the sandwich but nowhere else. The Philly was just not good. There was barely any meat, and what little it had was obviously not fresh. I think they tried to over grill it to make it seem fresh but that just made it worse. There wasn't much cheese on it either. Overall it was dry and empty. The wings were OK but pretty soggy except for the edges. The ranch and the beer was good. The place is chill but the employees could be a bit friendlier.

The 'mini pie' comes with many small slices, almost perfect finger bite-sizes, but more than enough for 1-2 people. I liked the option of having 3 toppings with my pie. The manager was a great help in deciding portions, items, and sides for my preferred taste and amount needed. He was not trying to upsell, just being helpful - which I appreciated. Interior design of the restaurant matched the style they were going for. Layout was great for a nice game day match. HUGE TV's everywhere. Great layout plan. (Bonus mini arcade games and dispensing toys/items towards the backside of the restaurant.) Overall I enjoyed the food at Mountain Mike's Pizza - portions were great, happy hour deals were solid, and food came out tasty and hot with more than usual side items/toppings. Would go back again.

Experience: Walked in, it's just a counter and a kitchen. It seemed pretty clean inside. The service was very friendly (the star is for the service). We ordered a large one topping (pepperoni) for 17 dollars and change with tax. The price is high, but that's okay, we are expecting a homemade pizza that tastes better than Little Caesar's or Dominoes. We came back in 15 minutes and it was ready. Pizza: Crust was thin, but not at all in a "delicious-crispy-pizza-oven-crust-kind-of-way". The dough was dense and extremely rubbery and hard to chew. I think the dough was either old, poorly made with wrong flour to water ratios, or very over-proofed. Sauce: not very much of it, not very flavorful. Hard to taste. Cheese: not much at all. Several pieces seem to have no cheese in the middle or top, just wet dough. Pepperoni: okay tasting, lots of it, very greasy Bake: Very over-baked to the point of blackness. I'm pretty bummed. I want to ask them to remake it and give them another try, but if the dough is the same, I'm not sure it's worth it? I'm sorry to say, but LIttle Caesar's Pizza is way better than this. And that's not saying much.
