My family and I had this place for the first time tonight. I called about 15 minutes before they were supposed to close and they were still jazzed to take my order. My husband went to pick it up and said they were all very nice people. The food was amazing. The Philly was delicious, so yummy. Their pizza was great. I missed a special one they have right now and I might have to return soon to try it. Also, they do have desserts, but you have to ask. Iykyk. We will be a returning customer! read more

River Crust is definitely a solid sandwich shop for anyone working in the surrounding industrial area who doesn't want to fight traffic across town just to grab lunch. My first impression walking in was a little off-putting. The space is pretty bland and seems geared primarily toward takeout, so it isn't especially warm or welcoming. My sandwich was good, though. Next time, I'll just phone in a to-go order and pick it up. Overall, it didn't blow me away, but I'm not gonna lie, the sandwich was pretty damn good. read more

RiverCrust Deli - T.B.A. - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Super small hole in the wall with exceptional flavor. Food was freshly prepared and very well done. Meat lovers pizza was phenomenal. French fries was a Huge portion and fresh made lemonade was amazing and refreshing. Restaurant is super clean and air conditioner was at perfect setting. Gentleman was alone for a bit and absolutely dominated. Served 5 families while communication was open and free. Definitely coming back for this one again. Apparently he's known for the ribeye options. See you soon. Thank you ! read more

Came here on a recommendation from a friend to try the Philly cheesesteak, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The location is a bit tucked away with not much foot traffic, but when I visited, the place was busy--which is always a good sign. The owner, James, was very friendly and suggested either the pizza or the Philly cheesesteak. I went with the cheesesteak, and it was easily one of the best I've had in California. Great flavor, cooked right, and very satisfying. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by. Solid food and great service. read more

I tried the Philly cheesesteak and the pizza. The cheesesteak wasn't bad but the bell peppers and mushrooms didn't taste very fresh, and there were barely any on the sandwich. The pizza looks great in the pictures, but it had a strange aftertaste, I couldn't tell if it was a crust or the marinara sauce. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the photos and it's not a place I would return to. read more

Alright, this place has been hyped up for their Philly cheesesteak, so I had to check it out. If you're a Philly cheesesteak fan, you already know it's not easy finding a legit spot. Took my wife with me and we ordered the Philly cheesesteak and the smashed burger. I'd give both a solid 4 stars. The cheesesteak definitely brings the flavor. No complaints there. My only thing is the extra heavy cheese and the overall presentation. I get it, some people love that overloaded look, but for me, it just didn't look that appetizing. Still a good sandwich though, no doubt. You can't please everyone. The smashed burger was decent. Nothing crazy, but it gets the job done. Now let's talk about the location. This place is tucked deep in an industrial area, and it's not exactly convenient unless you're already nearby. Deep in an industrial zone, tucked inside what basically feels like a warehouse. Not exactly screaming "let's dine here." Also, the wait time... yeah. Our food took a while, and we weren't the only ones noticing. Another customer was waiting on a pizza and was clearly frustrated. End of the day, the food is good and worth trying at least once, especially for the cheesesteak. Just be ready for the mission to get there and a bit of a wait. read more

Stopped by around 7:10 pm, about twenty minutes before closing, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They had run out of large pizza boxes earlier in the evening, but the person working quickly came up with a solution, which I appreciated. I ordered a large extra-cheese, extra-sauce pepperoni and sausage pizza, and it turned out to be the best pizza I've had so far in Riverside. We recently moved from the Bay and have been on the hunt for great pizza and good value. This spot is tucked away in a quiet warehouse area with a simple interior, but none of that mattered. The food delivered. The pizza came out hot, fresh, cheesy, and full of flavor. Several people came in for pick-ups while I waited, and everyone seemed to know exactly why they were there: the pizza. If you're looking for a solid, well-made pie, this place is worth the stop. read more

Finally got to try their pastrami pizza. Bcuz they make their doughs in house everything here is so fresh and so good. I have no issues digesting their flour dough. Hope it stays this way. Tried their different hot sandwich and this was also melt in your mouth type of goodness! The owner is present at the deli shop and he is so friendly. Spacious, and air conditioned. read more

This place is so, so, so good. Tucked in a business park, it's unsuspecting to find such an amazing place with such great service. We ordered the cheesesteak sandwich and a large half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. We were greeted by the owner who also makes the food, and he is so nice and outgoing. We really appreciated his great personality and welcoming demeanor. The decor is nice and inviting. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and all the flavors complimented each other - the soft, fresh bread they make there in the restaurant, the chipotle mayo, the white cheese, the handmade sliced ribeye meat... just epic. The pizza crust is nice and chewy with a slight crisp, the sauce is delicious and rich. We loved it. The owner informed us that they have secret menu items that they post on their Instagram just about daily, so make sure to follow them on Instagram too so you can see the special secret stuff that they make. We were very lucky to partake in their rotational desert menu because we had some of the best cheesecake we've ever had.. we ordered the banana cheesecake and the plain cheesecake with berries on top and both of them were excellent. It was a tough pick, but we would say the banana barely edged out the berry. We can't wait to go back and try the pastrami sandwich and something off the secret menu. If you want an excellent sandwich and pizza shop along with some great conversation with the owner, this is the place that you need to go to. read more

Finally got to try this place, and I was blown away by the food and the service! Got to chat with the owner and he was very friendly and funny. I was also helped by the girl in the front with the glasses and she answered all my questions and recommended for me to try the philly cheesesteak which turned out to be amazing! The steak on it is cooked perfectly and the bread is so pillowy, I've never had better. Will definitely be back! read more

Ok, don't get me wrong the pastrami sandwich was good, but not $16 good. I say it's a perfect $11 with tax. The pastrami was very tasty and the bread was nice and soft, yet fresh. But small portion for the amount I paid. Ambiance, well it's just a hole in the wall commercial deli and it did take a long time to prepare the order. Could just hear the staff BS in the kitchen. Nice to have them get along but don't forget there are customers waiting in the front counter. read more

Long time coming for a review after many visits, but we're here now. Rivercrust Deli is worth the visit if you live in the area or don't, it's a must to make a visit. Everyone raves about the Philly because it is phenomenal & different with a great twist to the point where every visit I get one no matter what. BUT the burgers, wings, pizzas, pastrami, fries (loaded or regular), cold sandwiches, are all worth a try--because honestly, everything is pretty damn good here. A small business I will continue to support! ALSO, now open Saturdays 11AM-7:30PM! Get it while the gettin' is good! Thanks for sharing your culinary greatness with the community James! read more

My review is based on my first visit, ordering the Philly Cheesesteak. I'm all about different variations of a Cheesesteak, so if you are looking for an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, this is not the place. The Cheesesteak comes on a large puffy almost dinner roll type of bread which was okay but could have been a bit more crusty on the outside to give it more texture. I think the sandwich would have been good had it not been overcooked (scorched) which caused the thin ribeye to have a hard hamburger like texture. The burnt taste made the meat, onion and mushroom indistinguishable from each other. Luckily the chipotle mayo made the sandwich edible. Please train your cook how to properly make this sandwich, because it's probably really good. I'll try this place again, hopefully having a better experience. One last note, the staff was very nice and polite, 5 Stars for you! read more

So a while back, I picked up and order (DoorDash) from this small hidden gem (unbeknownst to me at that time) the order smelled so good, so I told myself, I gotta try this place, I finally had the pleasure to try it, I called in my order, the 10" supreme, was my order, but my concern was if the dough was going to hold well with all the toppings, which is what I asked the friendly young lady when she took my order and she said "yes, it will hold up well". So I order the 10" supreme combo (w/ chips & a coke). After my second slice, I realized she was absolutely correct. Great dough and the pizza tasted great. Will definitely be going back. And for those of you that can't decide on where to get your pizza fix from? Well, I highly recommend this location. It's a must try. Great customer services as well. Pardon the attached image, I was devouring it while writing this review....(I typically save the crust for last) read more

Pizza is fantastic. Sandwiches are fantastic. The bread is so freaking good! I have yet to find something here I don't like. Wish they were open on the weekends but I understand, there would be no foot traffic since it is in an industrial park. Service has always been nice as well. read more

I've been here a few times and the food has always been good. My wife was in the mood for a sandwich place for our lunch date so we came here. This time around I wanted a cold sandwich so I went the Italian sub and my wife went with the Philly cheese steak which she said was good. I also ordered the secret menu Philly Cheese steak fries which was pretty good. I hate to say it, but I didn't care for their Italian sub. Yes, the bread is super soft but it didn't do anything for this sandwich. I only ended up eating half, but ate the other half later on at night but i made my own additions. I added a slice of swiss, mayo and mustard and the sandwich turned out really good. This doesn't take away from the place because they have very good food in general, the service is great and the place is clean. Must try! read more
