We're not usually the type to leave negative reviews, but after our experience yesterday, we felt…read moreit was important to share. We first visited on Valentine's Day in February and had an excellent experience. The pizzas were delicious, we were seated without a reservation, and we left excited to come back. Yesterday, we decided to bring a few friends with us because we had spoken so highly of the restaurant. We arrived a little after 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and the restaurant was fairly empty with only a handful of tables occupied. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was friendly throughout the meal. Each couple ordered pizzas along with appetizers and drinks. We ordered the Italian salad but were accidentally brought the Green Goddess instead. It was a harmless mistake, and since we had enjoyed that salad during our previous visit, we happily kept it. Our friends received their pizzas, and we assumed ours would follow shortly. Thirty minutes passed, and by then our friends were nearly finished eating. Meanwhile, we noticed several tables that had arrived after us receiving their food before we did. We asked our waitress to check on our order. She went back to the kitchen and returned, explaining that our pizza had apparently been forgotten and was only then being made. She assured us it would take no more than 10 minutes. Fifteen more minutes passed, and our pizza still hadn't arrived. Since we had a clear view of the kitchen, it didn't appear there was any urgency to get our order out. At that point, after waiting nearly an hour since placing our order, we had to cancel it because we had other plans and couldn't stay any longer. Our waitress apologized and removed the pizza from our bill, but that was the only resolution offered. While we appreciated her kindness, we left the restaurant disappointed and still hungry. Mistakes happen, and forgetting an order is understandable from time to time. What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled. After waiting an hour for a forgotten order, we had hoped for a more meaningful effort to make things right beyond simply removing the item we never received. It's unfortunate because we genuinely loved this restaurant after our first visit and were excited to introduce it to our friends. Thankfully, our friends enjoyed their meals, but this experience left us hesitant to return. Great pizza is important, but great service and how a restaurant responds when things go wrong are what keep customers coming back.

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.

People were rating this as the best pizza for your money... But I'm just not seeing it. After moving to Riverside, I've been on the hunt for the real best pizza and I'm sorry to say this isn't it. I ordered a meat lovers with a cheese bread and everything managed to be completely flavorless. The dough they used was mushy. The only thing that managed to be good was the meat toppings, but how could anyone mess up meat toppings for a meat lover? read more

The 'mini pie' comes with many small slices, almost perfect finger bite-sizes, but more than enough for 1 - 1 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.

I got fettuccine alfredo with broccoli, my wife got the mushroom artichoke fettuccine with their marinara. One of us got the italian bread and the other the garlic, so we could try both. Portions were pretty good, not enormous but definitely enough. The sauces were good, and the vegetables and pasta itself were all cooked to perfection. Can't say it was an unforgettable-tasting meal, but was at least as good as other restaurants nearby. Our waitress said she was relatively new, but she was very attentive and we never felt like it was hard to get her help or attention. Wish I had gotten her name to pay her a more formal compliment. It also happened to be one of their spaghetti special days, and $9.99 spaghetti with salad and bread is a great value. When we do come back it'll definitely be on another special day. Can't think of another Italian place nearby with the same portions for that price. My one and only complaint- I felt like the music was a HUGE missed opportunity. We went seeking cozy, and the old style booths provided a bit of that, but they were playing current country music hits the whole time. Would have totally completed the package and checked every box had they played something a little more on-theme. Nothing wrong with country music, but in a small, cozy italian restaurant, it would've been so much more immersive to play something Italian, or at least classical. Don't skip the good food and prices because of that, but hopefully a helpful suggestion to make the place just a little bit cooler!
