    Med 1/2 pepperoni & sausage & Hawaiian
    yvette s.

    Placed a to go order Pick up was fast and easy Upon arrival I was greeted right away Order was ready to go FYI they don't offer paper plates Ranch is $1 plus extra Also they did have a deal going on 8.99 for a charge I wish I would have been advised of this special upon placing order as I spent almost $30 in total I could of gotten a bigger pizza for a better price but anyways I know for next time My husband rates this a 9 /10 Don't skip out on the garlic knots they are amazing deliciousness smothered in butter and garlic

    Tropical Delight / Subbed Ham for Pepperoni
    Jonpaul V.

    Moved to the area about a year ago and hadn't found a GOOD go to pizza place. We tried A BUNCH OF PLACES (won't name them and trash them) and they just didn't hit. Came to Scratch on a whim and glad we did. We ordered the Tropical Delight and subbed out the Ham for Pepperoni. The undercarriage on this pizza was perfect. No flop, perfect crunch and the flavor of the dough shined through. I would recommend this place to anyone looking. The Salad was really good as well, just a simple house salad with ranch but idk what it is about a pizza parlor and their salads. Always Blanca helped us throughout our meal and checked in on us regularly as another lady did. Made us feel right at home while stuffing our faces . Little small inside and wouldn't say it's a sit down and eat place buuut we did and with two TVs and some bottled beer, it worked out perfect. Can't wait to order here again, especially after Blanca gave us a coupon for our next order. IF YOU HAVENT TRIED THIS PLACE, TRY IT NOW

    The classic scratch (substitute olives and peppers for basil and extra pepperoni)

    I've been a few times and I must say, there is a reason why I go back. My son loves there pepperoni poppers. For a picky 2yr old, he will eat the heck out of these. I don't care what anyone else has to say, but there pizza is GOODT!!!! we have tried a few different types of pizza and they both were good. We always finish the leftovers (which is rare for us). The staff is nice and they will make your pizza the way you want. Many options to choose from too.

    We're walking out, on our way to enjoy dinner, Scratch pizza, Yummy!!!

    When Richard and I long for pizza outside of Rome, Scratch Pizza never disappoints. Every creation bursts with freshness, crafted from ingredients that speak for themselves. Today we savored their cauliflower crust pizza, and it exceeded every expectation--light, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. Their rotating specials and thoughtful combos add variety to each visit, while the attentive service makes the experience complete. Do greet Blanca when you stop by; her warmth adds a personal touch to the charm of this place.

    Great pizza and great customer service. I would recommend friends and family any day. I most definitely coming back.

    This place was real good before covid after covid went nose down badly now service ok bout the pizza is real bad don't taste the same cheap ingredients in sloppy made no pride in the making of the food is cheap pizza bout is not worthy!

    Attended a meeting yesterday and we had Scratch Pizza delivered. Although our pizzas were delivered hot, and freshly made, they were just meh. Not good, not bad, just ok. The salads we got too were fine, but the dressing tasted weird. If it was just me ordering pizza when in the Riverside area, I probably wouldn't order from Scratch Pizza again. You can get way better pizza, with way better quality ingredients from Costco. Probably cheaper too...

    $14.99 advertised price right in the middle of their home page.
    Josh R.

    As you can see, the "Ultimate Pep and Chz" pizza is advertised for $14.99. Fine print states this is for an XL pizza and for Carryout only. I try to place the order online and the price is $24.99. I called the Riverside location and the guy tells me there's nothing he can do and there's no manager on duty that can direct him. I call the Norco location and that guy tells me he's there by himself and doesn't have the authority to override the price. How do these places function with no manager onsite and employees who can't override prices, or at least contact a manger to get some direction? Needless to say I didn't place an order because a $10 jump in price for something that's advertised on your home page is ridiculous.

    Lemon pepper Chicken Wings
    Justine R.

    Had been wanting to try this place, and glad we finally did. The pizza was made perfectly! The wings were okay, not sure if I'd get them again. The garlic knots were made fresh and were crunchy but soft, sooo good ! We also tried their Alfredo mushroom pasta with chicken, sooo good. They actually surprised me with that one! Would definitely recommend. We were greeted by arissa I think her name was, she was friendly and patient with us, being that it was our first time there. Very nice place to sit and eat with the family.

    Cheese Sticks (Regular)

    We LOVE Scratch pizza! They're cheese sticks are amazing. The house made ranch makes it even better. Go try.

    Lunch Special 2 topping medium Pizza
    Angel S.

    A great value for lunch $9.16 for a Medium 2 topping of choice pizza it's fresh you're not getting no better quality at this price you just get $5 Processed Junk Pizza Definitely a Weekly stop by they definitely need more people to check them out help them get some more staff in there make the whole atmosphere better give it a try oh and the ranch is a must usually not a fan but this made it great well worth a lunch date or stop

I've *never* had to wait longer than they originally quoted me, which is pretty rare these days! There's this one time that really sticks out, though. I'd asked for an extra-thin pizza, and when I picked it up, one of the guys there - I lovingly call him Pops - actually took one look at it and decided it wasn't quite "thin" enough by his standards. Before I could even say anything, he had them whip up a brand new one that was perfectly, exquisitely thin. Talk about dedication to perfection! Honestly, the whole team there is just fantastic; super friendly and always going the extra mile. And let's not even get started on the food - it's consistently delicious, and the prices are so fair you almost feel like you're getting away with something.

It's such a humble, warm neighborhood place, but the food? Truly a 10/10 comfort food moment.

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.
