We had a wonderful experience with Papa Joe's Pizza in Riverside! We recently hosted a party for 85 people and ordered a variety of their combination, pepperoni, and cheese pizzas, and everything was a hit. Our guests absolutely loved the pizza! The slices are a great size, the pizza was delicious, and the pricing was very fair, especially for such a large order. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The owner is amazing and made the entire ordering experience easy and pleasant. Great food, great value, and excellent customer service. We will definitely be ordering from Papa Joe's again for future parties and events. Highly recommend! read more

One star is generous. No lunch specials, not a way to help out us folks needing a little snack while we wait hours for out pets next door to be groomed. A chicken salad was over $15 w tax . Pointless n cheap iceberg lettuce...the chicken was NOT grilled fresh. I was sitting there. It was already cooked and "warmed" in a microwave or something. the chicken was not edible. the artichoke heart slices were really the only thing that had a good texture and flavor. I ate 5 bites and threw the salad away. Don't come here for a grilled chicken salad. What a waste on my time and money. read more

Absolutely love their pizza and their pasta dishes are just as good. Their cheese bread is yummy. Great service and friendly

The pizza was fresh and hot, but 2 of the 3 pizzas I ordered were wrong. Super disapointing but too far to drive back. read more

Hands down best wings and pizza shout out to the owner for everything best wishes this place deserves more attention come out & try them ! Highly recommend read more

This was our second time trying pizza from this place and once again we enjoyed it! The location is small, not spotless but not dirty either, and really hot. I don't know if they have AC, but if they do it wasn't working. When we arrived this time, we had every intention of eating there, but it was hot!!! The guy who took our order didn't even charge us for the soda cups and told us it was on them. That was super nice of him! While we sat to wait for our pizza to be ready, a guy started working on the ice machine. He even brought out a ladder and was doing maintenance at that very moment. When the pizza came out, we decided to take it home. Their crust is delicious and doesn't fall apart when biting. We love that! Their calzone was starting to get soggy from just the 7min drive in the car from the restaurant to the house so we tried to finish that one first. It was good, but also a little too moist. We'll probably just try their sister shop next time so we can eat there! read more

This is my go to pizza spot I love the food, I like the we make pizza attitude, and the pastas and wings hit too. The vibe is awesome, the crew is approachable, service caters to the customers wants and the ambiance is what I would expect out of a traditional pizza spot that focuses on pizza, pasta and wings. read more

Man, how do people not know what is good pizza? We tried this place from a Nextdoor recommendation, and wow, was it bad. We got mozzarella sticks, which were frozen and undercooked. We tried their pizza, nothing special, and a Stromboli that was raw inside, slightly overcooked on the outside, and the veggies were not cooked at all. read more

Accidentally ordered Papa Joe's instead of Papa John's for dinner one night and was not disappointed. The pizza was stacked with toppings! Even the plain cheese pizza was delicious. There was a good sauce to cheese ratio that was generous enough to satisfy and not too much to cause the crust to get soggy on the bottom. The crispy-ness was on point. Wings were bomb too; they were huge compared to your average boneless wings and sauced up well. That buffalo flavor was just damn...maybe I should have gotten a bigger size. The ranch cups were a good size too; not stingy like other restaurants. I don't think many people order outside of the usual pizza chains unless they know the place or have a friend recommend it to them, but this place is worth it! UPDATE: this has been the go-to pizza spot since I've discovered it! They are quick with pick-up and delivery orders plus the quality of their pizza stays on point. The calzones are delicious too. Always look forward to eating Papa Joe's! Love this place! read more

Everything we've had from here has been soooooooo good!! We eat dinner late so we've not been able to eat here as often as we'd like since they close at 8pm. We'll definitely be back again and again and again!!! SOOOOOOOO GOOD AND THEY'RE SUPER NICE!!!! read more

Very good food wings are thee best the pasta is outstanding really love this place. Service is also awesome this is indeed a hidden gem

We've been meaning to try this pizza joint for years! With it being 100*+ it's just too hot to cook. So Papa Joe's it is!

No complaints here...this pizza joint has been my bf & I's go-to place for the past 3-4 years and its only 5 min from our house!! I always order online on their website (papajoesfreshpizza) and have no issues with picking up, around 30 min on weekend. Their Hawaiian pizza and garlic shrimp pasta are heavenly. Those 2 are the staples and we will try another pizza or pasta, none have disappointed and are never salty. Give your local pizza chain (pizza hut, papa john, etc.) a skip and try this restaurant, you may be surprised by the result :D. read more

I love coming here! They have really good pizza and the staff is super sweet! We order their giant pizza and it feeds about 7 kids and 5 adults. The last time I went to pickup and the employee was insistent on helping me get it out and safely in the car. He was very polite and helpful. This pizza is not your average size! It's gotta go in the trunk and ours is relatively small so I had to ride shotgun with it on the dash up to my face hahaha! Whatever it takes to get it home to eat! This enormous pizza is only $25.99! It's quite a deal! Give em a try! read more
