    Solid pizza option in Riverside. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, and the crust was puffy and delicious, but the toppings lacked some flavor. When we ordered at the counter, the employee was professional and politely served us. The restaurant has a somewhat run down feel, with yellow walls and crimson seating. Some of the seats did appear to have some wear and tear. Overall a solid pizza option for those looking to break away from the chain restaurants.

    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!!

The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed by their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich! Note: street parking or pay in a nearby lot

But what really made me fall in love with this place are the drinks. In true stoner fashion, there are excellent drink options. Kool aids, sodas, and lots and lots of iced tea options that are all just begging to be mixed together to make the perfect beverage fit your vibe at that moment. Personally, I chose the Strawberry Dragonfruit tea which was very lightly sweetened, a splash of black tea. I could have been more adventurous and added some sprite or whatever the lemon lime stuff is for the bubbles... but another day.

We could've went to a good full service sit down restaurant for much less (tip included). Will we be back? I'd like to say yes but not at these prices. Also the 40 min drive makes it not worth it.

Once again, I stand by claim that this is the most delicious sandwich there is! Specifically at this location, they have it down right. I tried this sandwich at a different Carrot and Daikon and it just didn't hit the way it does at this Corona location. Maybe I'm crazy, but if you have never tried this spot, try the Pork Belly here. The pork belly crunch followed by the fat that melts in your mouth, complimented with a slightly sweet and mostly savory sauce. Of course the carrot, Daikon, jalapeno and cilantro with the fresh banh mi make this top notch!! Wowza!

    Full disclosure: I'm always suspicious of places that straddle the "fusion" food fence. I find…read more"fusion" usually translates to smothering something in an off-the-shelf international aisle sauce or wrapping it in a tortilla. Now, let me be clear, this restaurant does NOT mention the term fusion - at all. However, their menu whispers, "Hey there..." Crispy pork belly, lomo saltado, spam and egg. And, oh, brothers and sisters, they have gotten as close to paying the proper homage to all fusion cultures as I've seen. SPAM AND EGG: I'm chubby so SPAM is like my kryptonite. I had to have it. This sandwich threw me for a look. I'm used to other places overcooking the spam. NOT so at C&D. The spam was juicy. The fried egg was fluffy. The spicy sauce was genuinly spicy. I loved it so much that I've had it twice in three days. CRISPY PORK: I love the Chinese/Filipino Crispy Pork. The pork was nice and juicy. The skin was crunchy. Really great flavor. The only drawback was my own fault...of eating it cold because I had to eat the Spam and Egg sandwich first. LOMO SALTADO: I've got this sandwich sitting on my counter calling to me, in the queue while I finish my 2nd Spam and Egg Sandwich. I will come back to this review later today to fill in this blank. VIETNAMESE COFFEE (Large): I liked it. Yep. Not as overly sweet as I'm used to at Mr. Bagguette in LA, and that's a great thing. The only drawback is that it has a caffeine KICK. I felt the caffeine flowing through my veins 10 minutes after I took my first sip. Bread: In banh mi, the bread is the make-or-break. Here, the bread is not your typical medium to hard crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bread is on the softer side on the outside. It is a great change in pace for me because I haven't cut the top palette of my mouth like I usually do with harder bread. AND...that means that the sandwich doesn't lose it's character when I ate the sandwich cold later. STAFF: Very friendly! They are there to serve the customer. I've been greeted with a smile and genuine happiness. Great work C&D. You have a customer!
