Friendly and fun atmosphere. Great pizza and drink opinions. Pizza's are on the small side and a little bit on the expensive side. Service was also on the slow side. ( Sat at the bar with my wife for a while with an empty glass and it was hard to even get noticed. This was on a Thursday so not an overly busy time.)That's probably my only critiques. Nice outdoor seating options also. Recommend Rivers Eatery overall. read more

First off, this wood fired pizza is perfect. The marinara sauce for dipping was so flavorful it blew our mind. The pizza combinations to choose from are not only fun to read but the taste combinations are perfection. The size of the pizza is spot on . I didn't think the 10" cut into 4 slices would be enough however three slices of this perfectly balanced pizza and I was pleasantly full. Side note we have eaten here 4 times and never received a negative result. read more

Fantastic wood fired pizza. Lots ingredient choices too. Get in line, order your custom pizza and a drink, grab a table and enjoy your dinner. Good vibes and food with a friendly staff. read more

We saw the hardest working staff in the Northwoods! Pizzas are individual size, so we mix and matched and shared.Flavors were amazing & unique. It was very busy (which shows they are popular!! Probably because it is Yummy Yummy Pizza) It's a lot of moving parts to watch and take in. Watching "dinner theatre" with the pizza making, the staff was rocking it! Keep up the good work!! read more

Good pizza. Not my favorite style of crust, but imaginative use of local ingredients. And it was a good, tasty crust (I prefer a thin, almost cracker crust with a good wood-burning char). Nice selection of beers. Pleasant atmosphere. We were a large group (20 people including infants) and they never batted an eye. Love the bookstore in front and the pie shop near the grassy outdoor seating. Their ordering method is odd, but it seems to work well for them. I loved the art on display. read more

The best eats in cable, pizzas are incredible and homemade bread with marinara dip is mus get appetizer

Drove up to Cable after LWC and glad we made the drive! This pizza was so much better than what Hayward has to offer (sorry, Coops). It was a bit smaller than I was hoping but enough to be satisfied. The crust is more of a soft, pillowy texture than the chewier crust I personally like. The topping selection is somewhat limited if you're in the mood for anything specific, but otherwise if you're just looking for something that feels good to eat and won't leave you feeling gross, this is a good choice. The outdoor dining area is nice too, though it can get cool on a summer evening. Plenty of ski jerseys adorn the wall, though my friend said hers isn't up there anymore! read more

The Rivers Eatery - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Cable, Wisconsin

Our family loved dining at The Rivers Eatery! We ordered an assortment of pizzas and salads and everyone loved the food. Highly recommend getting the Tilly's Cheesy Garlic Bread w/ pesto & marinara sauce (it was SO TASTY) and Tilly's Pie is right next store so you can grab a loaf and a slice of pie afterwards as well. The service was awesome and the ambiance of the restaurant was very cool (a lot of cool bikes with some super cool backstories). We will be returning next year when we visit! read more

I'm not sure what the fuss is about. The place was so loud we could barely talk. The gluten free pizza crust is basically just a tortilla with less flavor. The cheese looked and tasted like a generic 3 cheese blend. I ordered a cranberry chicken pizza that came with 4 cranberries and 8 pieces of dry chicken. The plain cheese and garlic pizza tasted like someone made a bad quesadilla. I asked for olives and they put 5 whole olives on it. And it took about 40 min to bring our food out. The root beer was good but that's about all I can say. I spent the rest of the night with stomach cramps trying to digest it. Do not recommend. read more

This is really great pizza by any town's standard. We have been here twice this year and enjoyed both experiences. Just a no-pretention, comfortable, people friendly darn good place to eat. We would recommend to anyone coming to the area. Wish they had one in NEMpls (hint, hint). The simplest pizza - pepperoni, was DELICIOUS. Eat here. Support this place. read more

Heard a whole lot of hype about Rivers Eatery pizza. All overblown from my experience. Went there with a friend. Menu sounded great....creative approaches to pizza. Ordered the "St. Croix" 10" personal pizza plus a draft beer. $22 & change. Meal was subpar. Artichokes were AWOL or MIA. Basil was so bland I thought it was spinach. Truly the blandest basil I ever tasted. No actual pesto whatsoever; none. Feta cheese was just a tease; sprinkles were miniscule. Crust was ok - B plus. But if I'd just wanted bread, I'd have gone to a real Italian restaurant and gotten starter bread free before the actual meal! At a real restaurant, a bruschetta appetizer would have provided a more filling and satisfying meal than this 10" "pizza". Asked the waitress for ice water; she declined and sent me to a self serve "water station"; no ice. No one ever asked how our food was. Arrogant staff. To really "top off" the negative experience (in a way the pizza wasn't properly topped off"), when I got home I got hit with an acid reflux attack that snarled my stomach quite severely. Had to take antacids, H2 blockers and a PPI. Bad indigestion, like the kind only extremely spicy or seasoned foods with peppers & onions produce. Never had such bad indigestion from such a bland meal. Won't return. Does not remotely live up to the hype. read more

Great Pizzas. Lots of items you won't see anywhere else so be adventurous and try something new. I had barbecued chicken and sauerkraut pizza. They have normal pizzas also. read more

New owners and we love the changes they have made. Pizza is great. New salads but we have yet to try them. Great wine and beer selection.

We eat here often enough to where I should have already left a review. The food is consistently amazing, the staff is friendly, kind and efficient... and the ambience is comfortable & cozy and offers much versatility with outdoor seating. I probably would have missed another opportunity for a review this place but my 11 year old, picky eater, said it was "immaculately good" pizza. And those words are worthy of noting. You won't regret a trip to this place! read more

Recommended from a friend - glad I checked it out. You order at the counter with crayons. Plenty of seating and a very cool atmosphere. The salad and pizza were great. I'd defiantly recommend it and it's attached to a lovely bookstore. read more

Fun ambience. Pizza was excellent always enjoy the quality of the food! Can't wait to go back!

Great pizza and cool vibe, in the back of a book store. Good wine and beer options also.

How this charming pizza place came to be in teeny-tiny Cable, WI I'll never know but I'm a big fan. First, there's really not a sign or any indication at all where Rivers Eatery is. Hint - its in the back of the Ideal Market and open for dinner only. Days/hours vary by season so check beforehand. The space is amazing - high ceilings, local art and a whole wall of numbers from various races both local & worldwide. You grab an order sheet, fill it out, order & pay at the counter and they'll bring your pizza when it's done. The options range from basic to super creative and they're all cooked in a wood burning oven. Beer and wine (really good selections too) are available. Pizzas are personal size and run about $10 each. Between Rivers Eatery and the Brick House, you're in for some seriously delicious eats in what appears to be an unassuming small town. Go here! read more

I've been to this neat little place tucked in the back of a bookstore and market a few times now. I've never been disappointed. The pizza is made with fresh ingredients and homemade dough right in front of your eyes in a wood fired stone oven. They also have great salads and a wide variety of beer and wine by the glass and bottle. Most times I've eaten here, there has also been live music ranging from one man and a guitar to string quartet. It's a very light atmosphere and a perfect family treat. read more

Awesome addition to this little town. The pizza was very delicious and same with the drinks. Servers were very nice too. No complaints here! Love to see a wood fire pizza place anywhere I go! read more

they leave their website up to take orders and take your money but in reality the place was closed. website showed them open and took online orders. read more

Wow, this place is amazing! The food is sensational, the customer service is top-notch, and the ambiance is really neat. We were driving through Cable on our way back from Bayfield and decided to hit up Rivers Eatery for a little wood-fired pizza and a beer. We immediately fell in love with the place, as everyone working there was so friendly and accommodating. We ordered a pizza -- the White -- along with the River Rocks (a vegetarian meatball made from walnuts and cranberry bread and served with cranberry bbq sauce) and the woodfired smore. This is easily one of the best meals I've have in a long time. The pizza was really creative and full of flavor. And the crust was perfect...a little softer, but just crispy enough. The beer selection was plentiful, with many Wisconsin brewed beers. The River Rocks are one of the best things on their menu. We were raving about them and easily could have eaten several orders. If you've ever had the pleasure of eating the famous Trempeleau Hotel Walnut Burger, these River Rocks strongly resemble the burger, but are even better. And let's talk about the woodfired smore! It was the perfect way to top off a delicious meal -- sweet, gooey, and leaves you grinning. The prices are reasonable...quite inexpensive for what you get, actually. We will definitely be stopping here anytime we pass through Cable. I HIGHLY recommend Rivers Eatery if you're in the area. read more

One of the gems of the Cable/Hayward/Chequamegon area! This is a casual pizza restaurant with a fantastic wood fired oven that produces a chewy crust with just enough char to give make it clear that these pizzas would be great even without any of the elaborate toppings and combinations that are available. Add to the pizza the cold beers and craft sodas that are on draft and you have a truly satisfying meal after a day of skiing or biking in the woods. I have to mention that I am a meat eater - I don't think I have ever passed up a nice piece of meat, but on a local recommendation I tried the "River Rocks," a walnut based vegetarian meatball with a BBQ sauce for dipping. Not only were they excellent, but my 16-yr old son actually thought that they were meat until I told him halfway through his second one. This is my favorite restaurant in the area and if it wasn't for the 7 hour drive, I would go there every week. Don't forget to stop by Tilly's pie shop in the back for some of the best anywhere. read more

These people know how to make pizza! I am hooked! Whenever we are in the area in the future, we will stop by. I had wanted to try their pizza for a few years. Those were wasted years. Go as soon as you can. It's worth making a visit for pizza a top priority! read more

Cool little restaurant in a great space (shared with The Ideal Market and Redbery books). The pizzas are each made to order (you can watch them) and the crusts and ingredients are first rate. Very nice draft and bottled beer selection and a decent by the bottle offering (retail price with a $5 corkage fee). The by the glass offering could be improved but for being up North, it will do. read more

This place really is amazing. It has a great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and top notch pizza. The pizza is a personal size, or it could be shared if you aren't very hungry. There is a gluten free crust available which is made on site by hand. The options for pizza are very creative and are very satisfying. They are baked in a wood fired pizza oven. The owner is a great guy who will personally wait on you and strike up nice conversation. He really puts love into the business and it makes a difference. I have always been impressed after eating here. When you are done you can get some dessert at The Rivers or you can go into the grocery store that is in the front of the building and get treats. They have a great waffle cone at a great price. I am so glad that this establishment is in Cable. read more

Went here to carbo load the day before the Birkie. Best idea ever! I had a yummy pizza with cheese, ham, oranges and pepperonci. Delish. I also started with walnut veggie balls and they were super yummy. And their beer selection was fabulous. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

The Rivers Eatery - Awesomeness - Pizza Near Me - Cable, Wisconsin

The pizza is great, but don't ask for anything special or the owner will fly off the handle. He has been rude to me every time I have spoken to him. Everyone else is great. We have been eating here for eight years, have tipped generously, and have even paid for an extra pizza that they got wrong. Once in the winter I saw a mouse run through their kitchen and I never said a word. But today was the last straw. No customer loyalty means no restaurant loyalty. I don't care if you couldn't do my special request, just be nice to your customers. read more

Great place to meet up with friends after an afternoon of enjoying all the greater Cable area has to offer. Great people, food and atmosphere! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food! I wish we would have found this place years ago. The pizza was delicious. Atmosphere was great. Good beer selection. Key lime dessert was really good as well. My only complaint was that it was difficult to find. It is relatively unmarked--HINT, it's behind the bookstore/ Ideal market. We drove all the way down Kavanaugh St looking for it. Put up a bigger sign! This place was great. read more

Stone fire oven pizza was tasty and a very nice selection of microbrews. Very nice outdoor seating in summer. Welcoming staff. One of the best places to eat in Cable. read more

Stopped in last summer. Service was great. Food was excellent. When I'm in the area this place is my first thought for great bar food.

Awesome wood-fired pizza and great beer selection. This is a definite must visit if you're in the Cable area.

My new favorite pizza place! The food and atmosphere is amazing! And where else can you eat and see a gold medal winning bicycle? Can't wait to go back! read more

Always great food! Not a large menu, but the staff and energy of the place more than make up any desire for more. Fun pizzas, cold beer and specialty sodas along with a few unique tummy pleasers will fill the hunger needs of your whole crowd. Stop in and see CEOs, locals, DNR wardens, Tour de France veterans and World Cup skiers, there's even a pizza named after a local Olympian. Check the hours before you go and you won't be disappointed, there might even be some live music for your enjoyment. read more
