Two large pizzas were ordered. Pizzas were delivered warm, made to order. Toppings were skimpy, cheese good - needed more sauce (too dry for our taste - maybe that costs as an extra topping). Crust was also a little thick - good flavor but too thick. Not a three star experience for us. I have 30 pizza reviews and my first two full time jobs were working in NE Pizza shops. read more

I said I'd never go back and I did. Wings not seasoned with what I asked for, just plain, no xtra blue cheese and pizza sucked. Lesson finally learned :( read more

Riverside Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Thompson, Connecticut

An average pizza. Not quite thick crust, but thicker than most. Lacked sauce, and was a little soggy. Fast, friendly service, and the inside seating is on the small side. Outdoor seating is available. Fee charged on cards, although I didn't see a sign to alert people. One of those places that's probably worth another shot, as the potential is there for a good pie. read more

I wasn't sure if I should eat the pizza or the box it came in. It was delivered cold and it wasn't what we ordered.

Food is great, doesn't make you feel terribly full. Employees were kind, clean, not very greasy either.

I just picked up a perfectly cooked bacon onion pizza. The chef here understands that there must be some crisp and browning on the surface of the pie. Well done! read more

Keep seeing ppl complaining about the pizza, take my word the pizza is very good not sure where that's coming from it's really good and all the food is good. The customer service is always nice and welcoming this has been my go to place for about 8 years now. Done listen to the other reviews give it a shot read more

We were visiting the area and needed a quick dinner. Pizza was the choice and Yelp took us to Riverside Pizza. There is a huge menu when you get there - bigger than the online menu. If you go in the restaurant, they have Greek gyros, fried seafood platters and a variety of desserts like caramel Snickers pie and baklava. We pre-ordered pizza at about 7:15 and it was ready by 7:40. Pizza was piping hot, cheesy with the right proportion of sauce and a nice thin crust. It was not greasy (although I like a little grease on a thin crust pizza!) and tasted great! I also got the caramel Snickers pie (all desserts are $3.50) and it was the perfect size for that price point. There are about 5 booths for seating, including a large booth for larger parties, but it looks primarily like a take-out or delivery place. The pizza was perfect for our needs but this place is so much more! The staff was really warm and friendly, but clearly very busy with orders. The lady on the phone was short and to the point but when we came to pick up, she was sweet and friendly, so I suspect her phone demeanor was because of all the phone orders. Pay attention to the order number they give you because that is what you use for pick up (not your name). I forgot the number (I was 1 number off) but I think that happens often there. read more

Riverside Pizza - Sign outside - Pizza Near Me - Thompson, Connecticut

They are always busy! That's not good if you don't want to wait. However, it tells me that the locals like the restaurant and the food is consistently good. Staff are always friendly even though look extremely busy. I'm not a pizza fan so can't say it's amazing pizza but it's consistent and decent. Subs are always on fresh bread with fresh vegetables (I hate browned lettuce). Fish and chips are good. read more

Good food. Good customer service. They need to clarify the menu, bacon bits and bacon are different. Pickle spears and pickle chips are different. Also as busy as it is, they hire nobody to clean. The dining room is kinda dirty. The napkin dispensers needed to be dusted. The floors like pretty dirty. The fire place looks like it hasn't been washed in years. They also only have a woman's room, kinda weird. read more

Huge variety of menu options. Delicious, savory pizza and their meatball grinders are fabulous! Great customer service who are always aiming to please their customers! read more

Got the Gyro. It was a definite no! Pita was old. Meat was like rubber and it wasn't a good sauce. Pizza is pretty good tho. Only reason it has 3 stars. read more

I landed on this place by happenstance and soooooo glad I did! They are only closed 3 days a year...Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. Other then that it's all culinary goodness! I mean to tell you, your delight is all their intent. I've had pizza, wings, salad, baklava, burger, mozz sticks, fries, chicken gyro and on and on and on. Never had a bad bite! I do get the vibe that this is more of a grab and go joint, rather then dine in. Although they have an extensive dine in area. I would put the baklava here up against east side pockets all day. They have American traditional down, but offer a middle-eastern, Mediterranean flair that is slickety-slammin! Bring your card or cash, get the stash and make a dash! Cheers!! read more

Riverside Pizza - Absolutely delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Thompson, Connecticut

Best pizza around us, since we moved here we have tried every place around ! Service is always pleasant and fast.

Pizza was greasy; and even though I asked them to make sure to put plenty of sauce on, I received very little. I do not recommend this place. read more

Absolutely disgusting. I paid $37 for a medium size pizza and it was gross would never ever go back there again. The crust is like a cracker. The sauce has no taste and they put way too many pepperoncini's and that's all you can taste. Definitely not New York style pizza and I've had frozen pizza that was better read more

Grinders are good, pizza is ok and extremely greasy. Orders are correct majority of the time. The reason for two stars is that any pizza take outs don't have the cardboard circle plate, so the grease goes directly to the bottom of the box. I found this out by accident. I placed the box on the floor of the passenger side. After a 8 minute ride home, I take the box out and notice a shine on my rubber floor mat. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't put the box on the seat. Hey Riverside: honestly, how much does a cardboard plate for the boxes cost? Five cents? Sorry, you lost a customer for being cheap! read more

Having been a fan of Riverside for the past few years, their food is good and is a nice break from the other local restaurants. I may have a change of heart for this place, and not in the good way. Recently I ordered a 5-cheese pizza with meatballs, the food was right, but the price was not right. The cost of the food was $13.24 including the sales tax but the bill was $18.90 before the tip. When we called and complained, we were told that there was no delivery fee. We were charged 5.66 MORE than what was advertised and for no reason. If you order from here, check your receipt and ask for the total before ordering. read more

Food is 3-4 stars consistently. However the general demeanor of everyone who works here is like you are causing a huge inconvenience by placing an order. Absolutely zero courtesy. Because Thompson CT is essentially a food desert when it comes to take out, your choices are limited. There have been nights where I've opened a suspicious can of creamed corn or had a bowl of cereal with questionable milk instead of dealing with the lack of personality and courtesy. read more

Ordered chicken bbq pizza and a salad. Pizza was ok. Salad was good. May have to try again.

My son and I absolutely love this place it's quick cheap and the food is fantastic the owner is very polite responsible and warm to the customer this is our go to so I don't want to sound biased by giving a 5-star review but I will say that the pizza is great it's an easy-going place you can sit watch TV enjoy yourself and the price is right we enjoyed it very much read more

10 dollars bought fish and chips. Had one SMALL piece of fish and one decent sized piece of fish along with a small portion of soggy greasy fries. read more

This may seem surprising but i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich 4.5/5 very delicious and garden salad 5/5. Love this place. Friendly staff and easy / fast pick up. Thank you for feeding us read more

Have gone there 4 times in the past month and a half. Their times are not updated online so they close earlier than what they say. Most of the workers are rude. Just went there tonight floor was loaded with water from the leaking toilet. Didn't have a sign on the door staying takeout only nor a wet floor sign. Puddle so deep you'll get your shoes wet. Stood there trying to find a way how to get in after most of us got into the building they decided to tell us it was takeout only. Why were they still open ? That is disgusting. The ONLY reason we continue to go there is the owner. Super sweet awesome guy! But honestly wouldn't even recommend it anymore read more

Riverside Pizza is hands down one of the best in the area. Always friendly, good pricing, and fast delivery. My family eats here about once a week and they deliver in snow storms!! read more

Where do I start! The food is horrendous! Fish n chips always comes in a puddle of grease and the wings are always burnt beyond recognition! Even got one wing that was completely raw inside but some how burnt! I don't know where you people get off saying they use "fresh" ingredients cause that's far from the truth. Wouldn't surprise me if they paid you! Just terrible terrible terrible! I'd rather eat my dogs shit than anything from this place. You'd have better luck in the dumpsters at the school! Very lazy, unprofessional "restaurant". I could go on all day about this place but it's not worth the time. Please stay away! This place deserves a permanent closed sign. read more

got a small pizza mozz stix and chicken tenders and the mozz stix were gross but that's not my issue the small pizza was barely cut and had no sauce and o tried to cut it and take a slice and the pizza fell apart and this was bullshit cuz I can eat anything im a local fatty and when I called to tell them after picking it up at 9:30 getting home about 9:50-9;55pm he told me I would have to come back that night and spend more on gas then the pizza was worth i threw it away. smh read more

You can tell this place is different from the other local pizza/grinder shops. They use fresher ingredients with a little more care and preparation. Super friendly and quick as well, plus their prices are reasonable. They make a bomb BLT, chicken fajita wrap, and wings. read more

The grinders are good and so are the wings. Be prepared for the spicy aftereffects though.

Really great food terrible delivery service. I've gotten the wrong pizza twice from these guys, the last time I drove the pizza back and asked them if they wouldn't mind driving the correct pie back to my house so I wouldn't have to wait there, my house is less than three miles away. So the first delivery took like forty minutes the replacement took over an hour. When the replacement showed up the delivery guy tried to charge me for it even though I already paid for the original pie... The guy then stood there looking at me while other peoples pizzas went cold and would not give me the pizza until I called and had his boss tell him to release it to me all of this occurred on a Wednesday and my dinner need up being three hours late, there are other good pizza places around and I don't want to go through that again so I don't usually get their food. read more

This is good Greek style pizza, and the sandwiches are real good. I like the Gyro plate.

So we were out on this cold beautiful Friday afternoon. We wanted pizza, so I told my husband, lets try Riverside Pizza. They have been there awhile. Wow!!!! First, Clean place Very nicely decorated, fireplace a nice TV. Second , the pizza was awesome!!! For large pizza price was great. To compare to another popular local pizza place, this will be my new go to. My husband is very picky.......he loved it!!! read more

I haven't had the pizza in a while but when I did it was really good. I go for the honey mustard chicken wraps. Absolutely love the food and the staff is super friendly every time. Great selection of food and drink too read more

Been looking for a new pizza place to get pizza from. All the others I seem to receive food poisoning or the pizza is just awful. Not the case here. Pizza did not give me food poisoning. Pizza was perfect. Not to greasy. Delivery person was nice. I look forward to my next dining experience with Riverside Pizza. I will recommend you to everyone I know. read more

Best pizza in town. Well, in several towns, actually. Good spinach pies and grinders too. That is all we have tried.

The BEST pizza in Thompson, as of the time of my writing this. Delivery and cook times are usually pretty damn quick and the food is delicious The staff is pretty friendly too read more

Really great pizza and even better service! We ordered 2 party pizzas earlier in the day for 8 pm and they were ready for us right on time even though it was busy. You can see the staff working so hard to get everything out the door while you wait. read more

Great pizza place! Had honey mustard chicken wrap and I thought I was in heaven!!! Great people very friendly. Always go there every time Im in town visiting! Piece of advice: GPS will tell you to go other side of the street, dont listen to it, follow the yelp map! read more

Excellent food. Everything is fresh and always consistent. The Customer service is always as it should be. The second you walk in the door you are kindly greeted and made to feel at home. The indoor seating is comfortable and the fire place is perfect, especially for the colder months. They also have outdoor seating for the warmer months with a great sized deck. They also allow us to bring our dog to sit out there while we eat in the summer. We have had delivery multiple times and it was always on time, the drivers are so polite, and the food is always hot and delicious. They do fish n chips on fridays, highly recommended! read more
