    I wanted to take a moment to thank Riverside Pizzeria.!!!! The owner, Amritt, is amazing!! His staff is professional and fabulous! Super nice! The pizza is super tasty and superb. It reminds me of when I was in my childhood, this spot in the bay area, called the pizza box. All that being said, what was even more outstanding, was the customer service they provided to my basketball team and families. We had a great season with youth basketball, and we had our season-ending party here. The kids were super happy, playing video games, eating pizza and cross telling stories, and having and making memories. I am so happy. We have the opportunity to celebrate here. They definitely have earned my business. And I know the families that were there as well. They treated us like royalty if you ever in the area want a slice of great pizza and an ice-cold beer. Please go to Riverside pizzeria.

    I'm a pizza lover had to try this pizza out .This is a small hole in the wall pizzeria with affordable prices . They have so many sizes to choose from the smallest being a 8 inch to the biggest being a 24 called the giant which it does live up to its name it's huge for $46.99 very affordable to feed a large crowd . My kids loved the pepperoni pizza I also got half combination and half Garlic Chicken Supreme the white sauce was delicious. They also offer salads, calzones, deli sandwiches , specialty sandwiches, and appetizers . The appetizers they have to offer are Hot Wings, Pesto or Garlic Chips, Garlic Bread, Italian Cheese Strips ,Bread Sticks, and Quesadillas. They have beers on tap and they also offer wine . The staff was all super friendly and attentive . This place reminded me of a pizza place from the Bay Area called The Box in San Jose they would sell big giant pizzas like the ones they sell here. I have not seen that in a while. That place in the Bay Area does not exist anymore so it was pretty cool to find one here in Roseville that sells giants pizzas . We will definitely be back for some more pizza in the future .

    We decided that we needed to try out this hole in the wall pizza place that we've driven by many times. And we were not disappointed! (Note: It's been here since 1999). Cute interior, two TVs (the workers don't know how to change the channels on them so we were watching something random), and a few fun arcade games to play while you wait. The pizza was so delicious! The crust was a combo of fluffy and buttery, with crunchy edges. I enjoyed every bite of my personal sized olive pizza with white sauce. The sauce wasn't overpowering like it is at some places. I enjoyed my experience here and will be back for more!

    The Riverside Pizzeria is a classic pizza parlor. They offer GIANT pizza. We got a "mini giant" and it was pretty giant. The pizza was extremely filling! We also ordered breadsticks. I would say that the bread sticks need some sauce. We used DoorDash, so maybe they forgot the sauce. Not sure. Some marinara would have been tasty. Great place for a family pizza night. Thank you, Riverside Pizzeria!

    We ordered for pickup (half riverside half Hawaiian) on a Friday evening and it took approximately 40 mins until our one pizza was ready. It was worth the wait, the pizza was good, toppings were loaded, sauce was well balanced, the crust is actually edible and not burnt or rock hard. I can't speak for the ambiance since it was a pickup order. The best part is the cheese pulls, definitely IG worthy for my influencer wife.

    The Atmosphere definitely needs updating, great but small selection of beer. The pizza was tasty, probably due the amount of SALT. But very wet, thin & the toppings slid right off. You had to roll the pizza as you pulled it off the pizza tray. The customer service was adequate. We will give it another try. IN A FEW MONTHS-

    Wanted to try a new local pizzeria and came here on a weekday evening. My husband and I ordered our own personal plus some breadsticks. Young guy at counter had no personality and I wondered if my order would be right because there was not much of a response to anything, just a stare. Not even a smile or thank you as I dropped a dollar in the very empty tip jar. The inside is VERY small and I think they put too many tables and chairs in there. Definitely not ADA compliant. If you are claustrophobic, this is not the place for you. Drinks are not self serve so you have to go to the counter for your refills which are met with the same dullness. My husband disappeared for quite some time and it was because it took forever to get help for a drink refill. Our breadsticks came out within 15 mins. I thought it was tasty, and nice and cheesy. My husband says he could have done without it. Our pizzas took another 20 mins so over 30 mins to get our personal pizzas. Keep in mind that only two other people ahead of us and two people after us who got their pizza before we did. No follow up on our wait or if our pizza was in the oven. It came out looking pretty. I appreciated that the ingredients were fresh. It also passed my flop test of not being soggy in the middle. However the sauce was really bland. Wish it had some more kick. With that being said, it lost a little for me because the first bite was great, but towards the end I was tired of eating it. Never said that about pizza before. Then the lack of friendly informative service and slow process, I will probably not be back. Too many other competitors in the area that do better on both.

    I used to LOVE the pizza, I picked up an order of two medium pizza's off the list, no special requests, and one of the pizzas was totally wrong even though he told me it was the cheeseburger pizza. The crust was worse than a frozen tombstone...even that has more flavor than either of the pizza's I picked up. The pizza used to be so delicious and was looking forward to my Friday night cheat! So sad when one of your favs turns out to be crap

The casual yet cozy atmosphere prompts fun conversation. There's a nice old world ambiance about it. Perusing the menus we first chose a carafe of wine, a Barbera. Having it before here we find it hearty and bold. For the table we shared a house salad which was fresh and well made. There was plenty for four of us. Tasty bread was brought to the table along with oil/vinegar and herbs on a plate. My main course selection was the Maccheroni e Formaggio, spiral pasta (macaroni) with a rich sauce, lots of cheese and breadcrumbs. I got it with meatballs which I highly recommend. The dish was delicious and very filling. For dessert I chose the cannoli which has been my favorite. Unfortunately, this time it tasted dry and the middle of the shell was hard as a rock. The filling was good. Service was very friendly, not rushed and attentive. They always add to an enjoyable meal. I continue to highly recommend this place for a good Italian meal.

I was also charged an extra $2 for the toppings, which I paid, but it would have been nice if that had been communicated to me upfront. Unfortunately, after waiting about 40 minutes, the pizzas were very disappointing. My kids immediately said it tasted like cheese bread, and after trying it myself, I agreed. There was barely any sauce at all, which was surprising since I had asked for extra sauce. My kids wouldn't eat it, and I ended up having to take them somewhere else to get pizza. I was really disappointed after driving so far and having high expectations based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place and will not be returning.

The patio was different bc one side is completely covered, and I noticed a pulldown screen and projector overhead. The menu seemed a bit different this time. No more meatball appetizer unfortunately. Our server was nice and attentive (this time and last). The food: - Spicy Caesar (Romaine, home-made spicy Caesar dressing, home-made croutons, parmesan shavings, cracked black pepper and salami crisps): good stuff. Not really a healthy salad but a tasty one. The croutons are nice and light (not unpleasantly crunchy). The dressing has a nice little kick to it. I'd recommend. - Helena pizza (House-made Italian sausage, salami, pepperoni, San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella, pepperoncini, and Parmesan): the pizza crust here is the best in the greater Sacramento area. Hands down. It's so wonderfully light and chewy. I wish they'd use a bit more sauce on their pizzas as they eat a bit dry. And, I think some extra sauce would balance the saltiness of the toppings as well (and, the pizza does eat a bit too salty for my tastes). - Classic Pepperoni pizza (Pepperoni, San Marzano tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese): similar experience as the Helena: stellar crust, not enough sauce, and a bit too salty. - Beer: they have a half dozen or so local brews on tap as well as a larger selection of cans/bottles, which include both local and macro brews. Thumbs up. Overall, this is a good pizza place that's worth checking out. I'm only knocking a star off bc the balance of sauce and toppings on the pizza was a bit off. But, I'd still go back!
