Rivermont never seems to disappoint. One of the top 2 pizza places in Lynchburg in my wife and I's opinion. Good for takeaway or for eating in (though expect a louder atmosphere if you plan to eat in). Service is always quick and friendly as well! Have also heard they have trivia nights and other fun events if that entices you but we have never been in on one of those nights... yet! read more

Casual fun local college bar & restaurant. Local families at the tables and students at the bar. I sat at the bar. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. It was my first time and they took the time to answer my questions even though this place gets insanely busy. I just moved a couple of miles away so I'll come on the slower days and times. Food was fresh and excellent. I'm a picky pizza person and I thought they were excellent wood fired pizzas. I also had several roasted veggie dishes. Everything was well portioned as I took half home. They made excellent cocktails. Very social place and eclectic in types of people. I came on a Monday and it was busy so it's an establish beloved location. Prices were fair. Definably satisfying. read more

Super cute fun location. Service was great. Grabbed food to go. Chicken chili is amazing, not quite as expected, but blew my mind. Strawberry arugula salad was amazing too, great combinations of flavors! Pizza was amazing too! Chewy and crunchy! Only complaint was gf crust. It tasted fine, just nothing special. We got 2 toppings and skimped a little on pineapple. Top of crust was extremely burnt but bottom was fine. read more

Rivermont Pizza - Hot honey pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Delicious food, Great service, and a vibe that was fun, comfortable, and energetic all at once. Really had a great time relaxing with my family in this unique, well run establishment. Highly recommended! read more

Only one server when we arrived and it took her a while to take our food order because there were 4 other tables there. Surprisingly tasty pizza. Drink menu chalkboard not current and the server knew it, said the paper menu is most current (then strike out or erase things as they run out???!). Restaurant was a cool temperature during the hot summer when we visited. read more

I arrived at 11:30pm and the bar closed at 12am. Never did I think I would be tempted to order a slice at such an hour, but after one Devils Backbone VA draft brew, I knew I needed some other form of gluten. The result? I ordered one slice of pepperoni pizza at 11:55pm. Patiently, I waited for my slice to come out of the oven. It was, unfortunately, burnt to a crisp: the last slice. GONE. I was devastated. Then, I met Ken and Tyler. They said letting me leave without the slice I ordered would be unfair. They said I needed the slice I ordered, and that even though they were closed, they would make me--not just a slice--but a whole pizza for my troubles. Tyler and Ken got to work in the kitchen. My troubles were gone when Tyler and Ken delivered the pizza. My group of friends hooped and hollered and rejoiced. We toasted and feasted. Best. Pizza. Ever. Thanks Ken and Tyler read more

Rivermont Pizza - The best pizza ever in question - Pizza Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Best spinach artichoke dip I've ever consumed. Tables are sticky sometimes. Waitstaff and bartenders are kind and courteous. Bathroom has awkward stall shapes. read more

Good prices and delicious pizza!!!! We really enjoyed the dry cider to go with our pizza. The ambiance was also super fun and family friendly. The waiters were very nice and gave us good service. I would highly recommend!! They have trivia nights on mondays at 8pm. We are here on a Friday, but that seems like it would be a good time. read more

Nothing upsetting or wrong per say. We simply were visiting, ordered take out pizza and were not fans at all. Crust is very thin and floppy. Little greasy. Not a pleasing overall flavor profile for us. read more

Overall, the experience was nice. We were here for graduation weekend. We wanted to order the wings but they only offer them during football season. The nachos were a highlight with fresh jalapeños. We ordered the bibby pizza which was ok but the crush was burned not in a good way. But I also ordered a arugula salad with pistachio dust and a white balsamic dressing which was pretty legit. read more

The service was absolutely horrendous. The waiter sat us down and didn't acknowledge us for the whole time we were sitting there while serving other tables happily. WE WAITED FOR AN HOUR AND THE FOOD STILL DID NOT COME OUT!!!! STAY AWAY DONT COME UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME. OH and the food is ass! save your money!!!! read more

Whenever my fiancé and I go on a date, it is always Rivermont Pizza. Super friendly staff, amazing vibe and even better pizza! Pistachio Pesto is my personal go to, my fiancé loves the Ricky! The majority of their pizza's are incredible exactly how they come! The only pizza I would warn against is the Thurman Thomas. In theory, a chicken wing style pizza works great, however, the raw veggies mixed with roasted chicken, cheddar cheese and buffalo sauce did not work for my taste preferences. Overall, amazing dining option, I will recommend over and over! read more

Food was great as well as the environment. Very mellow and it didn't feel like there was too much going on. I got the margarita pizza and it was sooo good! The crust was really good as well! And I love me some crust! The service was also really good, my waitress was very sweet and fast. I enjoyed this visit! And will come here again :) read more

I will never get pizza anywhere else. This was the closest to NY pizza that Lynchburg will ever get and it's the best. I almost ate an entire pizza by myself (typically I'm a 1-2 slices type of person). read more

Best pizza in town, hands-down. And it's not even close. This place is a nice hole in the wall restaurant with the best food and service you'll ever find. read more

All except for the beer selection which leans towards the fruit side of flavor, food is great. Fast service, and eager to assist. The cellar environment is just what it is and if it bothers you then there is always takeout read more

Please excuse my last review. I've had a lot of personal trauma which used to cause occasional fits of anger that were also inappropriately humorous at times. That said, I order from here occasionally because they have non-alcoholic beer and gluten free pizza. I think it's probably a cool little joint, where you can hang out and have local beers and listen to good music, although parking might be limited (I have parking anxiety). The arugula salad was especially good--sorry I don't have a picture but I ate it in a post-fasting frenzy. They have an appetizer called "The Bull Branch." That used to be a local bar and I have a lot of (also inappropriate) stories about frequenting there in my twenties but that's another type of website post. But I will add that I ordered that appetizer all the time and if it's anything like that one, I recommend it. I'm vying to eat every specialty pie there and try a couple other things. Go on and try it, hipster or middle-aged, traumatized, inappropriate-humor person. read more

Went here for dinner. We were seated right away and brought our drinks, then the wait began..... and it went on......and on......and on....... You get the point. After an hour of waiting we were finally told they had so many to go orders that they had to do those first!! Super disappointed to hear that. Finally got our food and ate; the pizza was really good as well as the kombucha beer I had, but the sweet tea was old. All in all I would try it again, but if the wait was the same I'd probably not return. It's good enough to give another try next time I'm in town. They did comp our appetizer and tea's. read more

The food is delicious. The service is great. Ambience is also pretty cool. I've had a couple of servers that take their sweet time to even bring you water or utensils but aside from that, overall great experience! read more

My favorite local gluten free pizza. What a great spot - good service, amazing beer selection.

Food was terrible. No flavor. Spinach dip was all cream cheese. Pizza had no flavor. Was soggy out of the oven. Beer was warm. Thought it may be one type so we tried another. Nope. Both Luke warm. Service was mediocre. read more

Rivermont Pizza was amazing! We were looking for places that were open late, and it was perfect! The food was so delicious and servers very friendly. The pizzas were very unique and had a lot of different flavors in them! read more

I'm a huge fan of quality pizza. This was very good pizza. My only complaint was I wish they had a bigger pizza. Highly recommend if you want a local eatery instead of normal restaurants that are everywhere. read more

Good golly! Dive bar atmosphere, pizza is great for a good price. Yeehaw! Yum yum yum.

The food is great! For a relatively hidden hole in the wall place I found the pizza was terrific. I like a little ambience but I know it's not big enough for that maybe. But overall the food is very good and I enjoyed eating there with my daughter. read more

Yum! Cool, dark atmosphere, solid menu with unique or classic choices. Fast service for a decent price.

Pros: -They have a great variety of beers and pizzas. -The place is open late compared to everything else in Lynchburg. -The pizzas are above average but nothing spectacular. Cons: -Service has never failed to be slow. -One visit they put ice in my beer.. how can you do this and not even ask me if I want that. -The place was full (not packed) on a friend's birthday. They would not let our group of four in even though it was the dudes birthday and had ID to prove it. The fact that people were leaving and they still would not let us in just didn't make logical sense being that they were the only bar around open. -Rivermont screams unsanitary being in a damp, dirty, and dark basement. -Also from what I have seen there is no happy hour specials. I recommended going to waterstone if you are feeling pizza. read more

The wild mushroom pizza. The wild mushroom pizza. I think the lemon-garlic aioli makes it a stand-out among other mushroom-topped pizzas. Highly recommended. Kids loved the cheesy bread. We tried the Connie Hall pizza, too, but it didn't wow us as the wild mushroom did. Make sure to try the fire-roasted vegetables as a side order. Check out the weekly specials online. read more

Easily one of my favorite spots in Lynchburg every pizza has its own unique flair, and they come out nice and crispy every time. The Molokai is one of my personal faves, as well as the spinach artichoke dip--you CANT not get it! I've also had the white chicken chili nachos in several occasions, and they're delicious. They also have a few sandwiches on the menu that I've never tried but always look intriguing. The place has a really old, divey vibe but it works. It can feel dingy if you look hard enough for it, but the food and staff make the place a Lynchburg staple. It's a great place to come late for appetizers and drinks (they sell pizza by the slice after a certain time) and it's great for parties too. Sometimes it does feel like you get lost in the shuffle since it's such a busy place (waiters and waitresses are always working hard btw), but that comes with going somewhere so popular. All in all, if you visit LYH and don't visit Rivermont, you've just given yourself another reason to come back! read more

What can I say, an awesome place with even awesomer food and service. Let's start with ambience which is just short for Instagram possibilities. Seeing as we are older than 30, don't care about that. The food is solid and consistent, have yet to get anything less than fantastic. The venue is cool, basement bar with some natural light plus a bar some booths and great movies on a vcr tvcombo. These servers, bartenders, and back of house cooks are all kicking some serious butt. While everyone is really good, Katt is our go to. Knowledgeable, fun, smart, and accommodating, she made us feel welcome on our first week in the area and gave us some amazing insight to the area and food. Now whenever we visit, we ask or wait for Katt because she is so awesome. This place has some of the best food, engaging staff, amazing bartenders, and impressive cooks, all in a beautiful area. read more

Best pizza around at the best price. We checked out about 10 pizza places in the area. This pizza had the best cheese and best crust. And it was a couple bucks cheaper than Jojos and Monte Carlo pizza. read more

Don't like this place at all. What kind I have a pizza place needs a bouncer? This is just a front for a nightclub. Went here for the first time to get pizza and the bouncer would not let me in. He was rude to me and when I went back the second time there was hardly anyone in the restaurant and I wanted to order a pizza and he told me that I was not welcome there. Then he proceeded to knock my cell phone out of my hand when I tried to take a picture of the inside of the Decour for this review. I never got to try the pizza but even the people standing outside, who were also not allowed to go in, said that it was ridiculous. Won't try a third time. Here is a pic of the wonderful bouncer. read more

We were here on a Saturday night and Cat was our server. She is very friendly and attentive and gave us some good tips about Lynchburg (we're from out of town). My husband and sons got the Nightshift pizza, I got the dé Argentine pizza. They were all really good. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because my husband and older son said the crust was too thin. I got the gluten free crust and it was great! read more

Great pizza, creative selection, good service and a funky atmosphere! Heartily recommended!

Aka "The Ole Dirty Hippie Pizza Place". Great all around experience for the Just what you needed kinda outing. Food is good and the staff is even better. Perfect for after work get away! Beer selection is substantial. read more

I enjoyed my Rivermont pizza well enough! We tried four different pizzas and I enjoyed the different flavors. I do wish that the toppings reached up higher on the pizza as they all had a lot of crust. It is a thin soft crust pizza with flour on the top so your hands will come out powdery. The pizzas are 12" personal size. We tried one with sweet potato and Italian sausage and that was my favorite! The mushroom was ok but a little boring. The Ricky pizza was my second favorite. It had sundried tomato and artichokes. Don't expect super cheesy pizzas here, they definitely taste more fresh than your typical pizza. We tried the arugula salad as well and it was super tasty and fresh. I do wish they had a Caesar salad, I feel like that should be a basic at all pizza places with salads. We got to go and I didn't go inside but it is in the basement of a building and has a big bar vibe. A lot of people go just for the bar and not the pizza. read more

Excellent pizzas. The crust, cheese, the sauce... it's ALL terrific. The service is hit or miss but the draught beers are worth the wait. Their house ranch is amazing and they offer great subs and unique salads too. Try it! read more

Hands down the best pizza in Lynchburg. These guys actually chop the wood outside and put it into the oven -- no gas oven here like another pizza joint downtown. The flavors are outside of the box, but there is something for everyone there. Let's talk about my favorites. For appetizers, I love the spinach dip, it's super cheesy, and I'd recommend dousing it with red pepper flakes. I also love the roasted vegetables. For salads, the wilted spinach salad with sweet potatoes, bacon, and Gorgonzola is out of this world. I honestly have never gotten a sandwich here. If I'm going to RP, I'm getting pizza. Speaking of pizza, my favorites are the pistachio pesto pizza, which has goat cheese, chicken, tomatoes, and a pistachio pesto drizzled on it; I also love the Q, which has spinach, ricotta, carmelized onions, sometimes roasted peppers, and on the menu it comes with ground beef, but I get that subbed for pepperoni -- delicious! Now let's talk beer. You should not be going to RP for anything but beer. They have 20 beers on draft and the list is always changing. This isn't Bud Light and Coors, these are some of the best craft beers around. Ask your waiter for a list! They also do lots of events. I've read a lot of bad reviews on here about it being loud. Listen, the bands play late at night. If you don't want to come, don't come. Or ask your hostess before you get seated if there will be a band. I've also seen lots of people complain about it being a hipster joint. Yes, there may be a few rat tails, thick-rimmed glasses, and jean shorts up the place, but, it does not take away from the food. The hipsters know how to make food -- quit judging them. I've seen lots of families and older people in the restaurant who enjoy it just as much as the college crowd. After 10 pm on the weekends, it does become a 21 and up crowd, so be prepared. They also have great lunch specials and a late night menu featuring pizza by-the-slice. Let's not forget to mention trivia night on Mondays at 9 pm and date night on Wednesday night which offers an appetizer, pizza, dessert, and bottle of wine all for $30 -- a great bargain! read more

My new favorite pizza! All of the ingredients were super fresh and the crust was perfect.
