Spooky's Pizza - First impression upon sitting down. Needless to say I felt very uncomfortable about staying to eat here. The staff was incredibly kind.

Had a great time eating here! The atmosphere was comfy and chill, perfect for catching up with friends or grabbing a quick meal after work. The staff were super friendly and made sure everything was just right. I tried the house salad and it was really tasty--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. Prices were reasonable and the portions definitely filled me up. Overall, the food, service, and vibe all made it easy to relax and enjoy myself. I'll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone nearby looking for a good bite. read more

The Riv has incredible potential, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the setting…read more The building itself is stunning--a beautifully restored historic church with a warm atmosphere, a great soundtrack, and even some of the original pews repurposed as seating. It's a unique space that's worth seeing. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The restaurant appeared significantly understaffed, and most of the menu items we wanted weren't available. Ordering and paying at the counter isn't necessarily a problem, but for a restaurant of this size it creates an inefficient experience and leaves guests without much support once they've ordered. Once the food arrived it 45-minutes later, it was underwhelming and looked like items from a grocery store deli. I hope they're able to address the staffing and kitchen issues, because the venue deserves a dining experience that matches its character. Until then, hesitate to go.

We chose three, including the margarita, three meat, and the special apricot margarita. The three meat was the best of the three, and the only one that had the appropriate amount of toppings in my opinion. The other two needed a smidge more. The chew was great, just the right amount of crispies and chew, but also still foldable as you would expect for a New York slice. My only criticism would be that it should've been heated up longer, (the gal put it in the oven for two minutes), and as stated about a bit more coverage on the toppings. We will definitely go back, but next time we will try a fresh made pie and see how that stacks up against the slices.
