Been coming here for 30+ years...pizza is different than any other I have ever had...always fresh, light crust, delic! They have a secret they will never tell. Those of us that love this place REALLY LOVE it for it's unpretentious atmosphere, fast service, low prices and DELIC pizza! read more

We recently went to Riverview and not being there for several years and it is amazing that it is still delicious! The atmosphere and waitstaff remind you of being back in a time where people were nice and friendly, and never in a hurry to shoo you out the door. read more

One thing. One size and they do it the best. Truly a family place. read more

yummy cheap pizzas. cheap beers or coolers. a jukebox. what can be better than that? i love how it hasn't been updated since like 1980 and how if you go at 5:00 dinner, its full of old people and babies. it's pretty much in a random area with nothing else cool around it in a residentail part of ipswich, but i think the out-of-the-way-ness of adds to the riverview experience. read more

We grab pizza from Riverview at least twice a month. The individual pies are the perfect size and the crust is simple and thin. It's cash only and the ONLY thing they serve is pizza. Don't expect much more than just really delicious / cheap pizza....it's a cozy local joint.....and we love it!! read more

SOO FLIPPIN GOOD!!!! I just had bad pizza in Connecticut and wish I was home so that I could of gotten a Riverview pizza..... Its awesome!

Great place to go if you're looking for inexpensive, but tasty, pizza and beer. They serve individual pizzas with a very thin crust that are quite delicious. It is a very casual atmosphere, and everything is quite affordable. They have a great reputation, so they are always quite busy making it so the service isn't always fantastic, but the food is great, and if you bring good friends/family with you, you're in for a good time! read more

As far as a good pizza for a good price, Riverview is where its at. Great for those on a budget, but want a good pizza.

We. Love. Riverview. It sets the bar (heh) for a fun night out: good pizza, good beer, cheap. Cash only, but we don't mind. Pizza hits the spot (this is bar pizza, not fancy pizza), beer is cheap enough. Add more beers on draught and you get an easy five stars (good thing I love Bass). read more

We have been going to the riverview for years and we enjoy it very much the pizza is great and the staff is also great. Have always had good service. and there is a nice juke box with some good tunes that you can listen to while having a nice pizza. read more

A friend of ours from work has been trying to get us to try the Riverview for a good year now. Well, we finally went. It was a Tues night around 6 so it wasn't that busy. We are really glad we went. The pizza was fantastic ! As we were told, the pizzas were not that big, one pizza per person is just right. I had the meatball and kielbasa. My wife had the pepperoni. Both were great ! The beers are cheap and ice cold. The place is small but that didn't matter. The service is very attentive and the staff is very pleasant. We will be returning !! read more

The Riverview is a true classic townie joint. Nothing has been touch here and it is it sparkling clean. You can go in with $10 to get a pizza and drink. The paper thin and sweet bar pie over priced between $6 and 10. no drinks over $4 and they are stong and cheap. A beer is the same price of a soda elsewhere. As for the service it is take it or leave no frills but fun. This place is a must visit to experience a local dive. Just a warning Cash only and no plates. just pizza. read more

Been going here for many years ! Had my return to Riverview last night (Drs orders). Still the best damn pizza in the area. Delicious and delicious toppings and sauce. Can't beat prices. Waitresses are the best and very dedicated to their customers. Can't wait to return, and we shall return soon. read more

Exactly what a pizza house used to be around 1981, and once you walk in you realize the place hasn't changed a wink. Good beer selection, nice bar, and good pizza. INEXPENSIVE. Go where the locals go. It's like a time warp that you'll love being lost in. read more

Excellent and cheap thin crust pizza. Great atmosphere, good food, great prices.

Great pizza, some of the best around in all the North Shore. I've been known to put down 2 pizzas in one setting. It's must try and you can take that to the bank since it's coming from Bill B. read more

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! :) so good and so cheap! Nothing compares to this pizza, our favorites are meatball, chicken and broccoli with no sauce, and the combo with kielbasa. YUM! read more

Pizza was really good. Everything was tasty and would enjoy having again. Soda was cold and sweet. The menu is limited, since it really is solely a pizza place. If you were hoping to get anything but pizza, look elsewhere. The only downside of this place is the space itself. The interior is super dark! They don't have any windows, so it was a little intimidating to go in at first, and once our group was in, it felt like we were in a cave. The parking lot is also small and tight, so be careful as you maneuver around. The staff and diners seemed like locals, but were all friendly enough. I thought this place was worth a cheap and tasty bite, if you are in the mood for some pizza. It's not a destination in itself. Seat yourself when you enter, and try a pie. read more

Best pizza around!!! Small dive that is cash only but very worth it! Reminds me of the great places, family owned, in East Boston in the 70's!! read more

Inexpensive and great! Traditional, hasn't changed in years.

The personal pizzas are alright. The prices for food and drinks are exceptional. The atmosphere is outdated and unclean. I'd go again, but never take a date there. read more

A true New England hidden Gem! If you're looking for a great pizza you'll find it in the quaint town of Ipswich! This pizza is no joke- a whole pie is to be ordered per individual, kiddos can share, of course, but you won't want to share it at all! Parking is a bit of a tricky endeavor, but half the fun! read more

Great Pizza - very well designed & run restaurant. We left the beach and called in for take out. Upon arrival there was a line out the door. Best pizza ever! Look forward to returning soon. read more

I have been coming to Ipswich for these pizza since I was little...almost 25 years! This is the hands down best pizza I have ever had. My whole family would agree and I have discussed the merits of their pizza with complete strangers. The thin crust, the perfect sauce and the cheese is just perfect. They don't sell anything but pizza and you cannot complain about it once you've been there. The hours are funny, parking can be difficult (go early!!) but its worth it! So they have plastic utensils and parchment paper for plates it's part of the experience! You'll want to get your own pizza too, not for sharing and you'll be lucky if you have left overs because you won't be able to do anything but pig out. A classic local spot that is one of my very favorite places on earth! read more

We stopped at this place on our way to Newburyport . We were amazed! The pizza is one of the bests I've ever had. The crust was thin and crispy. It is also very inexpensive too. The beer is 3.50!!!! I highly recommend this place. Just remember to bring enough cash. They just accept cash! read more

If you are on a journey for solely pizza, Riverview will treat you well. If you want an appetizer that contrasts to your main course or simply aren't in the mood for a cheesy pie; you will be let down. This restaurant is definitely different than your average pizza place. They have beer, drinks, and pizza. For what they lack in meal choice disparity, they make up for with their pizza. There are a few definitive quirks to Riverview, including: they open at 4:00 PM, are cash-only, and are closed on Mondays. For some reason whenever I want their pizza, it's always Monday... I've heard much complaining about their service, and truth be told while most waiters and waitresses I've had at Riverview weren't out of their way unfriendly, they definitely weren't warm and welcoming. Personally I do not go to a restaurant for the service, I go for the food. There are many staff members at Riverview that I absolutely love talking to, but I do see and experience what other reviewers are writing about. If you can look past this, you will get mediocre service and excellent food, and at a reasonable price. Their pizza is a more "personal-sized" pizza, and if you typically have a small appetite you may bring home a few slices in a to-go box. I typically buy an extra plain cheese pizza to bring home for later. If you are looking for pizza in Ipswich, and enjoy an old school restaurant environment go to Riverview any night but Monday. This pizza is my personal favorite on the North Shore. They are the "Nicks" of roast beef, but for pizza. If you are a local you will know what I mean. read more

Love the Riverview! The pizza is great, and also the only thing on the menu, one size and cheap. One beer on tap, Bass. The juke box has the same songs in it as it did when we went there in high school. This place is just amazing. I live 30 miles away and still try to get there like 3 times a month. This is an Ipswich institution. read more

As a local, I can say Riverview Pizza has set my standards for thin crust pizza way too high. However, if you're looking for a quick meal, it's best to call you pizza in ahead of time and carry out. But if you want to step into the past, there's nothing like having a beer, playing some arcade games, and putting a few songs on the jukebox while you want for your pizza. read more

If you have not been here, and you love pizza, you HAVE to go!! Hands down the best pizza on the North Shore and VERY affordable! You can choose from their pizzas or make your own - everything I've gotten has been out of this world. I don't know what they put in their dough and sauce, but it is incredible!! The restaurant is very simple, with old school booths, a casual atmosphere and friendly staff! My husband and I currently live in Ipswich, so Riverview is our go-to for pizza - and they do take out too!! read more

Heard nothing but good things about this place, so I took the family out for dinner and decided to go get pizza. We got lucky with parking right out front but parking can be a concern as their parking lot was full and the street was full of parked cars which seems to be a regular occurrence. The place is a pizza establishment so don't expect a formal dining room. We got right away seating and the service was great as the waitress come over to us immediately. She was very helpful and attentive. The pizza was excellent. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in a very long time. Def recommend the place to others and we will def be going back very soon. Excellent. Keep up the great job. I know its just pizza but its comfort food that was delicious. read more

This has always been my favorite pizza and my parents just surprised us with a few for dinner. The pizza is light and crispy, not greasy at all, and amazingly affordable. My only wish is I could get an XXL pizza with how addicting it is. So worth the trip! read more

Effing TREMENDOUS.... Whether you eat it there or take it home, you'll be happy... Might be the best pizza around. Get the garlic pizza, it's beyond spectacular... read more

If you are in Ipswich and want some good pizza in a cozy and fun atmosphere, this is the place for you! I love the little booths with the red 'leather' and the drinks and beer they serve are nice too. The pizza itself is wonderful, and I heard they use cheddar cheese! I didn't notice too much of a difference in taste, but it's definitely a great place to eat at with friends or family. read more

Been coming here for many years and it has not changed a bit (a good thing!) "old school" decor and atmosphere and you can always expect the same great tasting pizza! The pizza has a thin buttery crust style pizza and the sauce on the sweet side. Normally we get "take out" but sometimes we eat in as it is very kid friendly, my kids enjoy playing songs on the jukebox, service is always quick, no frills (wax paper for plates) love it here! read more

Best Pizza hands down. Thin crust personal pies and thats it. No salads no burgers no fries just pizza but when you make the best you dont need the rest. Prices are low quality is high. I recommend everything. read more

Good price. Meat toppings arent the best quality.

Fabulous "personal size pizzas (only one size). Certifiably the best pizza I have ever had. Funky atmosphere. Parking by streetside or rear lot can be challenging during busiest times. Highly recommend. read more

Eh, was told by Ipswich locals that this is the best pizza around. I disagree. The sauce is far too sweet for my taste. The establishment is a bit dark and gloomy. Service was fine. Would not necessarily return. read more

Ok, so first time I ordered there, I got a pepperoni pizza. Got it home, bit into an onion that was underneath the cheese, which I'm sure was a mistake. It ruined the experience, none the less, due to problems I have with certain foods, onions being one of them, so I just threw it away in fear of biting into another hidden onion. Second time I tried this place, SAME EXACT THING. So, since I'm a "third time's the charm" kind of guy, I tried yet again. This time I mentioned the previous two experiences with the onion issue to the order taker and they assured me it would be fine this time. Guess what.....same experience as the first two. Never again. I have warned others of their carelessness and disregard and apparently they don't keep their toppings clear enough from one another, which is shameful if you come to think of people's food allergies or reactions. Definitely a "locals only" kind of place. That is the only reason I can think of to enjoy the cold pizza when served, overly thick and too sweet sauce, very little cheese, greasy, and clumpy/uneven thickness of too thin crust....is the nostalgia of probably going there as a kid and growing up with it. They only take cash, which I find odd for a bar and that's really inconvenient for some of us that don't like to carry cash. They don't have paper plates to give you. The hours aren't that great if you want it for lunch (open at 4pm??). Pizza slices very uneven every time. To sum up, 3 experiences, all 3 terrible. I wouldn't take a free pizza from them. I'd rather cook up a $1 Totino's from Walmart. read more

You cannot beat this place. I remember as a kid when it was my birthday (and youngest of 7) we had the option to choose our cake...this was always mine! 56 years old and proud read more
