    Value. Half price on Wednesday.
    Craig G.

    Web Wednesday coincided with USA World Cup soccer match! Perfect time to use that 50% off coupon. I ordered three extra large pizzas on the website to enable the use of the coupon. I ordered for delivery at 4:30pm. The match started at 5. 1 supreme with meat and fresh veggies (the best), a pepperoni and sausage and a pepperoni. They arrived steamy hot and 10 minutes early. Kudos to the delivery kid. We did our USA chant before he left. I trust your pizzas so much I didn't need to check each box. By the time my small group showed up and the USA scored 2. The pizzas were devoured and everyone loved the quality of the food! Thanks again for the weekly coupon. It allows us to provide a top notched party food without breaking the bank!

    Pizza is good, ranch is delicious but they charge over $1 for ranch when I think it should be offered before you leave the counter and more should be given when you order a large salad. Place could use some better lighting and staff isn't so friendly.

    The Common Clay of the New West (Makes a Great a Pizza Pie) Mission Report: DeMatteo's Pizza Call in Order Objective: Fuel up before an event at the Parent Navel Orange Tree across the street. The Hardware (Food): The pizza here... well, it's an absolute win. We are talking high-tier specs: fresh ingredients, excellent cheese viscosity, and a crust that holds up under pressure. Visually and tastefully? The kitchen knows exactly what they are doing. USAUSA USA USA USA USA USA usa USA The Software (Atmosphere): You've got to remember the context here. This spot runs on a very specific frequency. It's not a polished corporate chain. It's a dedicated local pizza service. The vibe is "straight-to-business" after you tie up your horse and shake off the dust just let yourself into the swinging doors and meander up to the bar and let their chief ofstaff know you are here to trade currency for your catering order - maybe you grab your own cup, you find a spot, and you listen to the lively commentary while you wait. Because you've got to remember that this pizza fuel everyone, drifters, heros, but most california locals. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know... Riverside County enjoyers xD Verdict: The order took a little very little time to compile (freshness takes rendering time), but the final product was 100% worth the wait. If you want a real Riverside experience with food that slaps; this is the spot. Just buffer your schedule a bit so you can relax and enjoy the local bandwidth.

    They have Parmesan , chili flakes packets.

    Cashier was very nice and explained the lunch specials. We ordered and everything was fresh and delicious. Omg the breadsticks were unreal. We ordered individual pizzas, a sub, mozzarella sticks. The pizzas were perfect and tasty. Couldn't get a pic of the sub because my hubby ate it so fast. He said it was the best. Excellent service, amazing food. Def will be going back & highly recommend.

    Having grown up in the NYC tri-state area where it's actually hard to find a bad Mom and Pop italian restaurant, it's the complete opposite in SoCal to find a great Italian pizza parlor restaurant that's not washed down or fusion crap that's so far from the OG recipe or style. I've been trying different items from this restaurant, Pizza, manicotti, subs and now the calzone. Perfection! perfectly cooked, crispy crust and chew of the dough, marinara sauce is on point with the perfect tang and seasoning. Staff has always been friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place and I'm so glad I was told about this place which is hidden and tucked away in a strip mall. Will remain on my lunch rotation and go to local Pizza parlor.

    Delicious pizza and mozzarella sticks, as always! I had a Dr. Pepper with my meal, and it was perfectly carbonated--not flat at all. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I always recommend DeMatteo's pizza!!

We got a few specials that weren't on the menu: lobster bisque soup and clam pizza, as well as a mushroom risotto dish. All of the dishes were amazing and the highlight was the clam pizza for me. The cheese and clams were perfect and the seasoning was great. The risotto was really good as well, with strong mushrooms and cheese flavor. You also get complimentary bread and butter! The food was really good, the dishes came out to about $30 each which isn't too bad for an upscale Italian restaurant. Service was outstanding throughout! The staff took really good care of us and checked in on us often. Restaurant was clean with a classic Italian feel, nice decor and a good ambiance. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

The interior is totally what one expects an Italian restaurant to look like. Upon arrival, the restaurant is as authentic and traditional as the last time I was here. It was about half full on a Friday night but bustling and busy. Our server was a bit slow throughout our entire meal and even told us they were getting over a cold (not something one wants to hear from the person breathing on and touching our food and drinks). We had the calamari fritti and yellowtail to share. Our table also got the diavola pizza, spaghetti bolognese, a couple orders of the mushroom ravioli that came with a runny egg, and sides of fingerling potatoes and broccolini. The food is as delicious as I remembered. Service was a bit off this particular night, but overall it was a good experience.

    A Riverside Classic That Never Misses!…read more Antone's is one of those rare gems that feels like home the moment you walk in. It's more than just a restaurant -- it's a piece of Riverside's history and heart. The moment you step through the doors, you can feel the nostalgia -- that comforting old-school charm that reminds you of family dinners, laughter, and the best kind of memories. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish tastes like it's been made with care and tradition, from the perfectly seasoned entrees to the warm, buttery rolls that arrive fresh to your table. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in every plate. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. The customer service is second to none. The staff truly make you feel like family -- attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile or a great recommendation. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat every guest. Antone's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Riverside institution. A place where generations have gathered, stories have been shared, and the community has come together over great food and genuine hospitality. If you're looking for a local favorite that still embodies that classic Riverside warmth -- Antone's is it.

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 began with handmade meatballs and a Caprese salad featuring heirloom tomatoes and burrata mozzarella, both appetizers were fresh and full of flavor. For our main courses, I had the lasagna and my friend ordered the spaghetti Bolognese, both were cooked to perfection with rich, comforting flavors. While the food earned a solid 4 out of 5, the service was a bit inconsistent, likely due to the holiday rush, so I would rate it a 3 out of 5. The staff did correct a mix-up and even gave us an extra piece of tiramisu and cappuccinos to go. Afterward, we took them to the park as the fireworks began at Mount Rubidoux. The ambiance of the Mission Inn gave the evening a classic, European feel, so I would give it a 4 out of 5. Overall, it was a memorable evening filled with great food and a wonderful atmosphere.

I remember bringing my own children here when they were young, and now I get to continue that tradition with my grandchildren. No, it's not high-end Italian dining, and it doesn't try to be. What it does offer is a family-friendly atmosphere, comforting food, and a place where kids are genuinely excited to visit. My grandkids love the butter pasta just as much as I do, and it's always a guaranteed win when we dine here. We recently stopped by after their school recital, and they were absolutely thrilled when we were seated in the trolley. Their excitement alone made the visit memorable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, service was prompt, this location tends to be quieter than many family restaurants, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. For me, this place isn't just about the food it's about the memories and the spumoni ice cream . Watching my grandchildren enjoy the same restaurant that my children loved years ago is something I treasure. We'll definitely continue coming back for years to come

Tasting the chicken like that it actually ruined the whole experience. Also, we order meatballs, they were not tender like they are supposed to be. Would I recommend this place? NO! I think there are better places with better food than here. As I was typing this here at the restaurant, my wife just informed me that her lasagna was not good either, the pasta was over cooked and mushy (my wife replace her chicken parm for lasagna). Funny thing is that while we're waiting to get a table an older gentleman told us "this is the shittiest food I ever had" my wife and I looked at each other and laugh because we did not believe him but he was 10000000% right. PS The manager tried to blame me for not liking the chicken, but how can I like something that half was really tender and the other have was not? She said, it all depends on the customer's preference! Really lady? I had two different texture in one piece of chicken. I am 46 years old and I have eaten a lot of chicken in my life so I know when something is not right. Accountability is very important instead of trying to blame the customer.
