Philly cheesesteak with potato salad
Alfonso D.

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.

Great place that's up in the cut ! Lol it's where the old dmv used to be. I love the Philly Cheese ! I'm glad they're open on Saturdays now. Friendly service . Clean and nothing fancy inside but they have big screen tv . You can order online , which is user friendly. I haven't tried the pizza yet but I'm pretty sure it's like the sandwich" Fire" !

The off the menu Pickle Pizza
Joel S.

This pickle pizza is delicious! If you love pickles, u gotta try this pizza out! It's off the menu, created by a fellow local city social media guy on IG, Mark from Riverside. Tucked in a business center but definitely known by many! They have a full menu of pizzas, sandwiches, even their signature Philly Cheese Steak. Everything made fresh and in house here! Love James the owner snd his amazing staff!

Food was amazing! We got a cheese curds with hot honey, cilantro aioli and a small pizza with pesto chicken and spinach. James made the pesto from scratch it was delicious. We also got a Philly cheese. Spectacular give me 17 of em! The food was made to order fresh and seems to be made with love and passion for the craft. James also had awesome customer service, friendly and witty. The restaurant was clean and smelled yummy as soon as I walked in. I will definitely be returning!

This hidden gem does not disappoint. My husband and i have been here multiple times and its amazing every time. We tried the philly cheese steak and it was the best we have ever had. The owner is really nice and gave us the recommendation for the sandwich. The pizza was great as well.

The cheese pull on the pizza! It was so good and the T.B.A. hit the spot. Husband enjoyed his Philly cheese steak. Perfect lunch/dinner for a family of 3. Friendly service from the moment we walked in. Fresh AC. Friends and The Big Bang Theory played on their T.V.

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.

Philly Cheese Steak Sub, Ultimate Stuffed Avocado Salad, and  SINGLE SMASH BURGER
Sung J.

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.

BBQ Rib-Eye Steak Sub and large half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. EXCELLENT!
Tim B.

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.

10" supreme pizza
Joe F.

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)

This was my first time visiting D'Elias, which is actually a childhood favorite of my wife's. I…read morelove a good sandwich shop, so I was excited to try it. The first small disappointment was finding out they don't offer mushrooms. As a big mushroom fan, especially on a hot sandwich, that was a bit of a letdown -- but not a deal breaker. I ordered the D'Loaded Cheese Steak, which honestly would've been perfect with mushrooms. When I opened it up, it looked absolutely delicious. The flavor definitely delivered -- I won't deny that at all. It was very tasty. My main issue was the texture and structure of the sandwich. It came out extremely hot and very wet. The bottom of the bread was completely soaked, which made it difficult to pick up without it falling apart. I just wish the bread had held up better so I could've enjoyed it without the mess. Overall, the flavor was great, but I hope they can improve the sandwich structure a bit. I'd be willing to give it another try.

First time here. Placed look clean. Asked if they had combos, was told they do not everything is…read moreseparate. Ordered 2 half sandwiches 2 sides and 2 med. drinks. $48 dollars. Good lawd! (Was lobster on these sandwiches) Pros - Food was good. Fresh ingredients Potato salad was very good. Place was clean. Employees were friendly. Cons - Too expensive for what we got. 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. I understand good food is not cheap but I'll stick to closer/cheaper sandwiche shops near me (Green Shack/Saverinos)
