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" !

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!

Harleen Q.

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.

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!

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.

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)

I wish I had all of the information prior to writing my earlier negative review. The owner notified me to let me know that the Deli has been closed since October, though they will be opening up this week. I truly appreciate his courteousness in making me aware of this and regret my hastiness! So sorry, Rivercrust, I can't wait to sample items from your incredible menu and look forward to doing just that very soon! read more

I stop in for coffee regularly because it is close to my work. I can't rate the food because I've never gotten any, as there is not many gluten free options other than salad, however my colleagues get it frequently and it always looks appealing. The coffee is pretty standard so if you want lattes and macchiatos this isn't the place but if you want a quick caffeine fix or bite to eat, I would recommend. Staff always friendly and they make an effort to treat you like a person not a number. It's always a nice break in my day to stop by. Thanks Rivercrust. read more

He replied with a sincere apology and offered me a free lunch. I went in today and he was a man of his word. Not only that, he gave me a coupon for another free meal. James really cared that i was not happy and he went above and beyond to make sure i would be pleased. The customer service he offered was extraordinary.

The wings and potato wedges were delicious too, and I have to mention their house 1000 island, ranch, and even the ketchup... everything tasted so fresh and good. The atmosphere was honestly the cutest. There were regulars hanging out, people jumping up to sing karaoke, and a little arcade inside that made it feel like the perfect casual game-night spot. It's the kind of place where you can grab pizza to go for a movie night at home, or stay, have a few beers, and just enjoy the vibe. They also have 5 beers for $15, which you really can't beat. Elie took such great care of us and made us feel so welcome. He was incredibly friendly and thoughtful and even surprised me with a complimentary homemade brownie, which was another 10/10. Such a sweet touch. Even the DJ running karaoke was super professional, which made the whole night feel extra fun and lively. It's rare to find a place that feels this genuine and welcoming while also serving food that's this good. I'll definitely be back for the pizza again very soon.

The owner got back to me right away and genuinely listened, promising to look into the issues I had experienced with my last four orders. Since then, I've been ordering periodically including Super Bowl Sunday and now Valentine's Day, and I can honestly say the difference shows. Every pizza has been consistently delicious with great flavor, a perfectly cooked crust, and a team that clearly cares about delivering quality pizza and customer service. Even with a new pizzeria opening in town that's backed by a well known chef, Antonio Pizza continues to stand out. The quality they're putting out feels Michelin star worthy. Thank you for serving the Riverside community and for always bringing a smile to my family, especially my three year old who's also a huge fan. Keep up the great work and wishing you continued success

We recently ordered Bella's again. While the pizza was awesome, things have definitely changed here…read moreover the past two months, and not for the better. This time our lemon pepper wings had close to no seasoning at all and, again, no salt in the seasoning. The pastas we ordered, while still a good taste, now are coming with much less. The breadsticks, which are usually buttery and delicious, were now full of dry seasoning with little to no butter. This isn't the quality we are used to, and this is unfortunate since our orders are always large and between $80-$120 each order. I'm not sure if or how often we will order here moving forward.

I just devoured the most mouth-watering Steak & Cheese sandwich at Riverside Crust Deli, and I'm still reeling from the flavor explosion! This unassuming deli in California is a hidden gem, serving up a culinary masterpiece that will leave you craving more. The tender, juicy steak is cooked to perfection and generously portioned, paired with a rich, velvety cheese that melts in your mouth. The crispy, golden-brown crust on the bread adds a satisfying textural element, while the fresh veggies provide a delightful crunch. What truly sets this sandwich apart, however, is the love and care that goes into crafting each bite. You can taste the passion and dedication that Riverside Crust Deli brings to their culinary art. Don't miss out on this gastronomic delight! If you're a steak and cheese aficionado, or just looking for an unforgettable meal, get yourself to Riverside Crust Deli and indulge in this phenomenal sandwich. Your taste buds will thank you! read more

I was drawn to visit this sandwich deli because of some Instagram reels. However, the location was a bit tricky to find as it was situated in a very industrial area. The people there were incredibly hospitable and made me feel very welcome. I decided to try the pastrami sandwich and the BBQ ribeye steak sandwich. Both sandwiches were good, with the pastrami sandwich being particularly massive in size! It was also quite salty, but then again, pastrami sandwiches usually tend to be on the saltier side. The BBQ ribeye steak sandwich was meaty and sweet, and I really enjoyed it. I plan on returning to try out their pizza and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious sandwiches. read more

I had the best customer service today. I just want to say Thank You to the Staff! I made an order through DoorDash while I am at work, I work in a situation where I'm unable to leave during work hours. After an hour or more of endless attempts to contact support I called the restaurant. I explained where I was and that I couldn't leave and they offered to bring it to me. I was so happy, and they quickly delivered. I will definitely return to a RiverCrust Deli in the future and I recommend that everyone else does too! Thank you again! read more

I loved RiverCrust Deli! The food was delicious. I tried the Philly Cheese Steak and a pizza, and both were amazing, made with super fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly and quick. The place is clean, calm, and has a great atmosphere for a relaxed lunch. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you're in Riverside! read more
