Epic Wings should truly recognize what a wonderful person they have representing their company. His kindness, patience, and customer service made a difference in my day more than he probably realizes. Thank you, Travis, for being such a bright spot on a difficult day.

The bar side is to the left when you walk in and restaurant side is on the right. The menu isn't big and everything seems like it's crafted in a specific way. We've done dessert here and appetizers. The pistachio cream pie was amazing and the crust to pie ratio was my favorite. The dirty fries with cheese sauce and fresh herbs are absolutely divine. Service here is really good, I find them to be friendly and helpful if you ask any menu questions. The downside to here is the price. A lot of the cocktails average 16 dollars so when you are paying almost 20 dollars for a small drink and expensive food, it adds up quick.

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.

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!

We ordered the chicken wings, half chicken tikka/half meat lovers pizza, and a Philly cheesesteak. Chicken Wings - 3/5 The wings themselves were okay, but we asked for two sauces--mango habanero and garlic Parmesan--and unfortunately, they weren't actually sauced. They came pretty plain, which made them a little bland. I think they would've been much better if the sauces had been tossed with the wings. Half Chicken Tikka / Half Meat Lovers Pizza - 4/5 The pizza was pretty good! It had a good amount of toppings and definitely had some flavor. Nothing overly amazing, but it was satisfying and something I'd order again. Philly Cheesesteak - 3.5/5 The bread was actually really good, but the meat itself was just okay and could have had more flavor. Still, it's a decent option if you're in the mood for something more meat-heavy. Overall: A solid neighborhood spot with a good variety of options. Nothing completely blew me away, but the pizza was enjoyable and I'd definitely order it again. The wings would have scored higher if they had actually been tossed in the sauces we requested.
