OK, publicly I have to apologize to this place. My kids both went to Saint Catherine's and Notre Dame and used to tell me what good pizza this was...never tried it. So in an attempt to avoid the blood thirsty delivery services we ordered from DiMatteo's and they have their OWN delivery staff and the pizza was absolutely phenomenal. The crust was absolutely delicious. We asked for it well done it was well done. The pepperoni was delicious, the salad was great... This will be the only pizza place I order from now on. They have deals on Wednesdays and I'm having a terrible time deciding what pizza we're getting tonight. I'M VERY SORRY DE MATEO'S THAT I NEVER TRIED YOU IN THE 22 YEARS. I'VE BEEN OUT IN THIS AREA. It's very meaningful that you have your own staff delivering and your pizza is terrific. read more

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. read more

Their meat lovers pizza is my favorite along with buffalo wings!! The service is always good and fast . I don't usually eat at their location....its not inviting or appealing , but it's clean, just outdated. read more

Omgosh, amazing pizza! Wednesday you get half price. But the line is pretty long. Order ahead and take your time. They are very busy Wednesdays, and a little chaotic. No nice ambiance. read more

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. read more

Great pizza! This is my favorite pizza place. The pizza is always delicious, hot, and with plenty of toppings.

Ordered online WEBDAY special extra large pepperoni pizza. $15. It might have been just a little phony with the pepperoni, but still the best value in town. Crust, cheese, sauce and slightly fewer pepperonis still top quality in taste and service. read more

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. read more

This place has amazing pizza, cheeses sticks, and their sides! Definitely my place for pizza!

I love this pizza. Never disappointed. Even when I had a bad experience with their customer needs I still will go here and support this business. Although this place is ran by kids they need to be taught better customer service. My daughter got sick there and no one helped us. Other customers were bringing me napkins, baby wipes while workers rolled eyes and laughed at us. Wish I could speak to the owner about this. read more

Discovered DeMatteo's about a year ago. For a while we were ordering every Wednesday for their special Webday discount. The pizza order is always correct, the pizza is always hot and cheesy with deliciously baked crust! YUM! Now I'm craving DeMatteo's. Staff is friendly and quick. This gem is hidden in a corner near Baskin Robins, if you live in the area you have to give it a try. Enjoy! read more

I have gone a couple of times. Few times for the lunch and sometimes evening. I enjoy the lunch pizza specials. Issues: One time it took about an hour to get my order which was way too long in my opinion; I wish they had told me time to expect. I only ordered a mini pizza. It was around 2:30, so shocked it was so busy? One time I went the pizza was undercooked. I didn't notice till I got to my destination. Pros: Crust has good flavor, decent toppings. The garlic breadsticks were yummy one time I got em. Not sure if they are free if you eat at the location? Someone told me you do, but past couple times I've went I didn't receive any. Small place but has a few tables to eat at, cozy. I'll give another try, hoping to find another pizza place I can count on and keep in my rotation. read more

Love their pizza and hot wings I frequent this place at least once a week oh and their fried pickles are theee best.

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. read more

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!! read more

DeMatteo's Pizza - Individual pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Riverside, California

We've been to DeMatteo's Pizza a few times now, and it's consistently good. Today we ordered a medium Italian pizza for takeout--placed and paid for the order online, which was super convenient. When we arrived, everything was ready to go, and the service was just as friendly and efficient as always. The pizza was tasty, as expected! It's great to have a reliable neighborhood spot like this. Giving it 4 stars only because there's always room for that extra "wow" factor, but overall, we're definitely happy and will keep coming back. read more

Good timing, polite employees, great service, and tasty pizza. Ordered 2 pizza's and salad, only took about 15 minutes. The pizza had a great CHEESE PULL, very hot, and tasted amazing. I'm a returning customer and they never disappoint. Highly recommend pepperoni and mushroom pizza, it's my favorite! Love this place. read more

DeMatteo's Pizza - Inside of DeMatteo's - Pizza Near Me - Riverside, California

Again, I don't know who they are hiring as delivery people. We add an extra $10.00 to delivery as a tip. But the laziness of the delivery person has me concerned. We live on a corner lot and our pizza was delivered to our garage wall, not the front door. Mind you a call was made to inform my wife that the pizza was delivered. When we realized where it was delivered it was retrieved. May I say again we give the drivers a $10.00 tip to deliver to the front door not set the box on the wall on another street. I called the manager he tried to defend his employee but once he realized what was done he offered pizza free the next time. Was that enough? Sad to think that I will have to give specific directions for delivery. The pizza is always good even when it's cold. read more

This place continues to make the very best pizza in town. They have great deals on certain nights to keep the costs down.

Pizza average price was high, never brought plates and peppers and cheese had over $120 order. Service was fine, i did not eat there so i have no idea about the ambience. read more

Delicious! I don't like cheap pizza. Dematteos does an incredible job on there pizza's. Especially when I can get 2 large pizza's and breadsticks for $35?!! I have had there place 20+ times and I had to write a review. Family loves it and like I said, prices are great! Sorry I ate the pie before taking a pic read more

This place gives off your local mom and pop secret lunch spot vibes. The inside is pretty small, they have some great online specials and we ordered with less than an hour to close and had no issues with our order or the speed of the service. We got a large 2 topping deal with wings off their website and it did not disappoint. The pizza was delicious but the. Best part was definitely their buffalo wings. The texture and flavor were so good and I would definitely return. read more

Great pizza, great service. Pizza dough itself is fire, always our go-to when we wanna splurge on pizza and wings!

Pizza was average, not worth the price i paid. The ingredients tasted like they were all from a can and the sauce didn't have much flavor. Will not go again. The servers were nice and the place was clean. read more

the breadsticks are superrrr yummy! a tad bit salty but I didn't mind. i was super disappointed in the chicken alfredo pasta-- not a lot of flavor and the chicken was very tiny, and minimal throughout. definitely more noodles than chicken. pizza seems to be the forte here so i'll give it a try one day read more

Honestly it's mediocore pizza, decent buffalo boneless wings, and dining room that has needed a revamp 10 years ago. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, boneless wings and 2 drinks. It came out to $40 dollars, decent price I guess. There was like 8 workers in the back and only one taking orders and she was taking a phone order at the time we got there so it was a little weird seeing everyone in the back standing around as we waited as well. But her service was nice once we were helped. The dining room now, that's where my 3 stars comes from. It was honestly pretty gross. Very old school. Of the 10 or so tables that they have I would say at-least half were dirty so again the 8 people in the back just standing around was weird. Would I eat again? Sure but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it and I los wouldn't eat it there, I would take it to go. read more

Best pizza I have ever had. On Wednesdays is half priced pizza with code WEBDAY when ordering online. I love their crust for its hand tossed and the chef salad. read more

Long overdue review. This is my family's fave pizza place! They have great prices on their specials. I've been gluten free for years and most places that offer a GF crust give you a teeny tiny lil "pizza" but at DeMatteos, you can get a big gf pizza!! Everyone knows the only thing better than fresh hot pizza is leftover pizza the next day. Also I've used dematteos for several large work events and they are able to handle huge orders with ease, including vegan and gluten free options to cover everyone's dietary restrictions! Also, literally every single person who works here is always so sweet and welcoming. read more

Can you please sharpen your pizza cutter.... Or use more muscle cuz how can you make pizza if you can't cut it correctly smh... pizza was burnt as well. Purchased 1/16/26 Friday night. Need to go back to the basics. Had high hopes cuz of tic tok read more

Long on my radar, the appointed time came (because our go-to was already closed), and pizza and salad sounded right. A buddy always said the food is decent here, so that's a good enough referral. We got a medium pizza and large house salad. No frills with the salad, no problem. The dressing was good and it disappeared quickly. The pizza took a while longer than expected, but it was kinda funny because the kid who delivered it to our table apologized for how badly it was sliced. Apparently, it was his first pizza made there. We assured him everything was fine, and it was. In fact, I liked how low sodium it was. The cheese was perfect, not oily, and the pepperoni was a good consistency, too. I'd interested in trying other pastas and pizza options here. The calzones seem like a good choice as well. Stand by, more pictures in the future. read more

Every now and then we try a new pizza place and we have yet to find one that offers the same value and quality as DeMatteo's on WebDay. We've been to both locations and like the Magnolia location because they seem to employ a lot of kids working their first jobs. Sometimes the pizzas are cut a little crooked, and the topping quantities can be variable depending on who's working that night, but it's always good pizza. The pizzas are even better when reheated, so we usually order extras to freeze for future meals. read more

DeMatteo's has a great deal when you order online in Wednesdays. It's 50% off on large pizzas and prompt service, distances itself from other restaurants selling an item that has become so commoditized as doughnuts! Enter WEBDAY as the promo code when ordering to take advantage of this excellent deal. A quirky favorite in the office is a topping of pepperoni and cashews! read more

I'm not understanding how people like their pizza. I ordered a large with Alfredo sauce, sausage, artichoke hearts and mushrooms and a small antipasto salad. The pizza was bland... sorry bland is an understatement... there was ZERO flavor. There was hardly any cheese on it and the crust was doughy. The antipasto was missing the peppers it's supposed to come with and we struggled to find the few bits of meat it had in it. $50 after delivery fee and tip for mediocre food. Should have had domino's. read more

Our dining experience was excellent. Friendly, clean, delicious. Couldn't ask for more. Was treated supremely.

Best pizza in Riverside! I don't have much else to say. I always feel like finding your pizza place in a new town is hard. We tried a few others in the area but DeMatteo's has so far been the best. Also, add the garlic knots. Just trust. read more

The kind, friendly, professional drivers are amazing. The food is good. They manage to deliver it all hot with the coldest soda. That is a win!! read more

I was a little hesitant trying out this pizza place for the first time--pizza spots can be hit or miss, and even with a solid 4-star rating, I've been burned before. But wow, I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. From the very first bite of their supreme pizza, I knew I'd found a gem. It actually lived up to the hype! The ingredients were top-notch--fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced--and the way the pizza was cooked and assembled was absolutely perfect. You can tell they care about quality here. I called in my order, and the young lady who helped me was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I told her it was my first time trying them out, and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. Not only did she help me find a deal, but they also threw in free breadsticks as part of the two-piece package--such a nice touch! This place totally exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back--and recommending it to friends. Great pizza, great people, great service! read more

Mediocre pizza with a price that is outrageous. Go seek other mom and pops that are within a stone's throw. We got for pickup pepperoni, Sicilian, veggie. Crust tasted off and flavorless. read more
