I did end up coming back here. We ordered the margarita pizza, the truffle pizza, Caesar salad, the charcuterie board and a couple of other things. It was delicious. Everything was made in house. You can taste the quality. The food takes a little time so just make sure you grab a glass of wine. The place is clean and nice. Adam and Michael were very nice and helpful.
Second visit and it's still bussin a solid 5 . Walked in on a Thursday around 5:40 ish, it was pretty busy, not too bad but after sitting for a few minutes it kept getting busier. So remember this when going as they shut down at 9pm. I felt super bad for the young lady rockin the hostess, waitress and server all in one job. I'm so sorry I wish I got your name. Michael also was awesome with service. I enjoyed a glass of Banshee Cabernet and my husband had Pizza Port Chronic Ale. We ordered the staple fried olives, outpost ceaser salad and the pepperoni and Calabrese pizza. The vibe inside is a cozy/boho. The only downside is no TVs but the phone worked just fine to watch the WC Softball World Series. Thanks Outpost for being a solid!
Came here with my mom for lunch and had such a great experience! The restaurant was clean, bright, and airy. Our waitress was super friendly, and so was the pizza chef. We split a salad and the avocado pizza, and both were absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back
Stopped in for the infamous pizzas, an we got the spicy pizza with chili crisp and truffle pizza. We also tried the burrata and olives which were a MUST TRY! I think the appetizers were better than the pizza. Furthermore, service was amazing throughout the entire night, checking up on us, providing recommendations, making conversation. It's a higher end atmosphere but casual enough to stop in after work.
We came here specifically for the salads they looked amazing on the Yelp pictures. When we ordered them I could taste that they are a day old and I wasn't impressed. We also ordered a pizza should have stick to what I know and ordered the pepperoni. My boyfriend is easily pleased so he enjoyed it. As far as for the ambience it was very clean and super chic. And by far the best part of this place was the customer service. Our server was Adam he was very attentive and it's hard for me to write such a bad review when we had such a good attentive service. I will not be coming back but I really enjoyed how friendly the service was makes up for the food!
I went to outpost for the first time around 6pm we got seated right away and it was already busy with a large party coming in later. The food was really good we got a sausage and pepper pizza and chopped ensalada. The service was pretty good for being so busy you could tell that the waiters were doing their best going all around. It was a really cute place I would definitely recommend but make a reservation just in case.
I thought that this might be one of my top fav restaurants here in Riverside....but upon going my 2nd time, I thought it was just ok. I'll still round this up to 4 stars since I want to give this another try, perhaps for lunch to try their other specials. First time I went, the truffle pizza and fried olives + almonds were amazing & addictive. Lavender lemonade was refreshing and perfect. Service was top notch, not overbearing or lacking. We regretted not ordering more in fact. Fast forward to more recently, food was okay this time. Service was a bit much....checked on us a lot. Ordered the outpost caesar salad, strawberry shortcake and diavola forte pizza (spicy sausage wasn't very spicy which I liked). Added the crispy chicken to the salad which was extra. It all tasted ok, but not amazing like our last experience. The chicken was sadly dry, not so crispy & on the saltier side. The standout for the salad was the avocado, which broke the monotony of the salad. Got the pepperoni calabrese to go. Pizza was really salty, not great. Could be better....I do like their crusts though. Wish they had pasta too, but focusing on the salads and pizza do make them better than other spots that rather do too much food options. Quite pricey also. I had to be careful with my nut allergies here, but I haven't had any issues so far with letting them know. I really like the styling of this place, aesthetics are quite nice with the common industrial factor. Natural, earthy tones and the green.
We came here for Mother's Day for the first time and it was amazing. We ordered the Veggie & Sausage & Peppers pizzas and they were so yummy! The staff here are very welcoming. The ambience is warm and relaxing. We enjoyed the oldies they were playing. We will definitely be coming again for wine and pizza!
We lived down the street and didn't even know about this till recently husband I wanted something different and we really enjoyed it each order a glass of wine. They do offer a $15 corkage charge. If you want to bring your own bottle. We split a salad and split a pizza both were delicious. I can't rave, enough about the fried olives something different I've never had before. I would come again. My only complaint is they don't take cash (my reason for the four star) and usually I only pay with cash to support small businesses. I did read reviews that it can be chilly inside so I brought a sweater and I'm glad I did.
Overall for a newer place it wasn't bad but there are some kinks that still need adjusting. We tried an array of dishes to see what flavors were offered. The decor is very simple and could use some more enhancements throughout the restaurant to give us a better ambiance. Focaccia: 1/5 just pass on this, was not good Bruschetta: 5/5 so fresh and loaded with flavor Fried Olives: 3/5 take or leave Pepperoni Pizza: 4/5 very good flavor some burnt spots on the underside Marg Pizza: 2/5 some burnt spots and lacked toppings, felt messy / rushed Chocolate cake: 3/5 is a crumble style cake would be fit from dense shavings on top to be layered inside for the added texture crunch Beverages: 3/5 lavender lemonade was good, the sour was good, the soda was water/flat. Server: 5/5 Isabelle was very kind and attentive throughout the experience even with the wait being longer than usual Wait time: 1/5 we waited 30mins for apps, which didn't come out all together- the pizza was an hour and 10min wait and didn't come out to ether as well... note we ordered the our entire meal at once Overall we will give this place another shot as it seemed to just be an off night. I do wish they offered cocktails in addition to wine and beer. Hoping to have a better experience next time.
I've never been here and it took me a moment to find the place. Walked in and was seated at the table for two. Please consider adding hooks for purses. The table was so small and there was no way to hang out bags off the chairs. And maybe some bigger glasses for water. The food itself is delicious. We had the fried olives (which is really why I wanted to come here lol) and the sausages and pepper pizza. Everything was great and served still hot. I also had a glass of wine which was delicious. I think maybe I our waiter was still somewhat new because he seemed a little nervous. Overall it was a beautiful and clean restaurant and the food was great! We'll be back again.
Friendly staff. Proper pizza oven. Cloth napkins. Hard chairs. Open space. World music - some in Italian. No ice in water. No salt and pepper on tables. Green goddess is not green goddess-like but is SWEET. Cesar is very mild. Ranch is good but is watery. Their Cesar has tomatoes that are begging for salt and pepper. As are the croutons. They need flavor- maybe oil and to be seasoned. Pizza was good but does have an odd taste to the bottom crust so I ate it turned over. They are new and the menu has changed since opening so maybe they'll figure it out.
Very flavorful. Came it with friends and shared fried olives, salad and pizza. It was enough food for us 3 ladies. The service was great.

My 3rd time to The Outpost in Riverside and wow, it's exactly what we've been needing around here. My wife and I are so thankful something this fresh and special finally showed up! We've been to plenty of places in town, but this one actually feels but still right here in Riverside. The food is seriously good. Their artisan pizzas have that perfect charred crust, the salads are super fresh, and the beer/wine list pairs nicely with everything. But let's be real -- my wife and I are total suckers for the Diavola Forte. That spicy salami with the chili oil we end up ordering it every single time. We'll be sharing slices, grinning at each other, and talking about when we can come back before we've even finished the last piece. It's that good. What I love most is how it feels elevated -- like high-quality everything -- but zero pretension. No one cares what you're wearing, the service is friendly and chill, and it works perfectly whether it's date night, a casual hang, or bringing the family. It's rare to find a spot that nails both the fancy details and the laid-back welcome. Thank you, The Outpost, for bringing this little gem to Riverside. You've got two new regulars who can't wait to be back (Diavola Forte, here we come again!). Highly recommend!!!! read more

One thing for sure is, their customer service is top tier. They are friendly, as soon as you enter you are greeted, you are made feel seen and welcomed. The music is nice jazzy vibes, super nice and chill vibe. Now the most important, the FOOD is PHENOMENAL. I ordered the truffle pizza with gf crust. I can only imagine how it tastes with regular crust. I will say the honey on that was an amazing touch. I thought I was in Italy again. Lastly, that Cesar salad was also 10/10. Very well seasoned with lots of parmesan cheese. read more

Walking in, the service was on point. Our server was very attentive. Now let's get to the food. We read about the Fries Olives, & DAMN it did not disappoint. 10 out of 10! We got the pepperoni pizza, it was so good. Side Caesar Salad was the perfect portion for 2 ppl. Also exactly what I wanted from the salad, light, refreshing, & flavorrrrr!! Next time I'm sitting at the bar, loved the vibe & set up. read more

Outpost Pizza (next to Condron Coffee) is a total gem. The food is farm-to-table fresh and absolutely delicious. We had the truffle pizza -- handmade and out of this world -- and the Outpost Caesar salad, which might be the best salad I've ever had. The lavender lemonade was incredible, and the desserts were amazing. Huge shoutout to Joe, the executive chef, for creating such an unforgettable menu, and to Samantha, our server, who was warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. We're already planning to come back every week. A must-visit! read more

A lovely surprise. Ended up here by accident because the place I had originally gone to was closed. Was a bit concerned at first because there was a pretty heinous odor coming from the restroom permeating the air of the entire restaurant. Smelled like maybe a backup. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Ordered the pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The salad was massive. Got the dessert flight and the desserts were over the top good. I would definitely come back even for just dessert. Please though, get that restroom stink sorted out. It almost interfered with my ability to enjoy the food. Would give it 5 stars but for that restroom smell. read more

The Outpost's ambience and seating is reminiscent of a European cafe-casual and relaxed. Service was great, we were checked on several times and our water was always topped off. The Outpost Caesar was delicious with the avocado and our group was a fan of the house made croutons. The Burrata Plate was also a hit and beautifully plated. For pizza, we got the Pepperoni Calabrese and Classic Margherita. The flavor was great with both of them and the crust was nice and fluffy. However, the bottom of the pizza did taste a little more burnt than we'd expect as if the pizza stone wasn't cleaned between pizzas. I would like to see them offer larger water glasses or a carafe at the table since we needed several refills of our small glasses. Overall we enjoyed our meal and look forward to trying more menu items! read more
