Staff is super sweet, kind and helpful. Ambiance is family owned and welcoming and such cute Italian vibes inside. Food is incredible everything on the menu. Best wings ever especially the garlic parm ones, my mommas favorite and they all beat Wing-stop/buffalo wild wings - pro wing places don't sleep on t! Pizza is the best you can get and all homemade. Can order it thin crust or to your liking. Dough freshly made in house daily and you don't feel bloated after eating pizza/ carb which is so nice. Ranch is amazing and homemade for my ranch lovers. Caruso and Alfredo pastas and sauce for them are unmatched! Overall best pizza and pasta mom n pop shop in riverside. Hands down read more

Cliff, the owner. I just wanna point out that I never got aggressive, nor raised my voice. There was actually another patron that walked in prior to my leaving and being told that too bad my cinnamon knots weren't cooked tough luck. I would just have to wait. I guess it's OK that your employees used words like fuck very loudly and talked about having sexual relations with one of their friends mothers All the while just making my food when I got there which was 20 minutes after I ordered it had to wait an additional 20 minutes so a total of 40 minutes and did not receive my full order even though I paid for it she asked if I wanted a refund and I said no keep it and please Let the owner know that the workers should be doing a better job. If that is aggressive, my apologies. It is never my intention to make someone cry. However, you state you've acknowledged my situation and I don't believe you have it seems that you condone this type of verbiage in your place of business and I can assure you it will affect your business long-term been in business myself for 26 years and I have never treated a customer or client the way I was treated that day Good luck to you read more

I ordered a medium pizza with half pepperoni and sausage and the other half mushrooms and sausage. There was a ton of pepperoni but maybe one or two mushrooms and sausage per slice on the other half. I don't get it. Why not actually put the toppings on the pizza that the person ordered. This is not the first time this has happened here. It's been a year since I've been here but I won't be coming back. read more

I visited this pizza establishment quite a long time ago when it was at a different location just up the block and we parted ways because of the service. We came back to try it again and the service is good, the discounts are good, you can find a $10 coupon on social media everyday of the week, but what's not great it is the pizza. I know a lot of people love thin crust pizza but put some toppings on it and use some sauce for once. I know the owners think they're doing an amazing job with their Pizza but it's not that good. If you guys pride yourself on making great pizzas then make them great. I really don't care what you do cuz I'm not coming back. You seem to have a following and I really don't know why. read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating. I placed an order Saturday evening and the girl working the front seemed completely uninterested in helping customers. She was on her phone sitting down almost the entire time I had waited, and looked like she had no idea what was going on when she finally got up. It felt like getting help was an inconvenience to her. Meanwhile, everyone in the back looked like they were working twice as hard, staying busy and actually keeping things running. The contrast was hard to ignore. The front of the restaurant is the first impression customers get, and unfortunately it reflected poorly on the business to have someone like that managing the customers. I hope management addresses this because customers deserve attentive service. I hate to leave a negative review when the food came out great. The kitchen does a great job with my order every time and usually the service is good with the workers at the counter. read more

We have been ordering here for many years but have noticed many issues lately. Tonight was another disappointment. I ordered online for pickup. When I arrived I was told 5 to 10 minutes. After another 20 minutes I asked about my order as many people had come and gone while I was still waiting. The person ended up being rude when I asked for dressing for my large salad because I hadn't specifically added it to my online order. The pizza wasnt good, slices were all dough with little cheese or barely any sauce, the wings were burnt and the salad was wilting. I am not sure if they were mad because I asked about my order and the timing or if this is just how all orders are now. read more

I've been meaning to try out this place since its original location and finally had the chance to in this new location, replacing what had been a Mediterranean place that I was fond of. The interior is still pretty much the same, which is to say cute but simple vaguely ethnic decor. The food and service were both good although I feel like the portions for the lasagna were way too small. The Brussels sprouts was a decent amount but way too overfried and heavy. Pizza was solid with the fancy pepperoni. read more

Food is very good but sometimes the wait is ridiculous. Was told 35 minutes when I ordered my food, got there and waited another 40 minutes til my order was ready. The girl at the counter said she would see if they could give me a discount for the wait but that never happened. read more

This has been a horrible experience. Last time I ordered from them my whole meal was messed up. The pizza was wet on the bottom of it and still doughy to the bite. they were great and brought me out more food and it was still wrong. The pizza was actually burnt this time on the crust and the bottom. They did the right thing which I wasn't expecting credited my money back. Tonight I try again. I don't know how a small pizza has become a personal size pizza. That's basically four tiny half slices of pizza if that. It was very tasty but the picture looks nothing like what you actually get toppings were about half of the amount as the picture, and I don't see how maybe barely two slices could cost $14??. I ordered a meatball sub. With light marinara and the rest on the side so the, bread on the sandwich would stay nice. Crispy crunchy softness and I could get the rest on the side. I ended up with zero sauce on my meatball sub and none on the side. Then I contacted them after purchasing it online, which I left notes to that effect. Then I followed up with a quick phone call. Just to verify that the notes had came through, and the girl even offered to speak with the cook making it clear again, I guess., It was Definitely clear. Which I appreciated. And was very kind and respectful to her. She was a sweet girl. Food got delivered. No Way! Again messed up! I get things happen... through this. I was completely understanding. Then I call back, spoke with a very sweet girl and then I guess the owner/manager/cook gets on the phone., I made your sandwich and there's a light pink on the bread. I told him that I had written everything down as far as the sandwich went. He said he made it exactly what the form said. I ask him to read it to me and he says he doesn't have it. So I read it to him. He still claims he did nothing wrong. I asked him then. Where's my marinara sauce? No reply This has barely any cheese and just a few meatballs on dry bread, and was actually barely heated up.. But after it's happened again and again. And, as always, I'm still trying to give our community business. and he's telling me that none of what I'm telling him is true. That's where I had to be finished and said your full of ...... Which I'm not proud of. But after being overly nice, patient and understanding and to be treated like none of what I was saying was true. I will not be using this place ever again. Third time was the failing charm. Also, I got a little laugh out of the cook/ manager/owner sounded like a 19 to 23-year-old kid. It was more obvious, by his attitude, complete unprofessionalism and rudeness. I wasn't even asking for my money back. But I definitely did. After speaking to him I wanted that sandwich credited. Which I also offered. They could come pick it up if they wanted to. Money is so tight these days and it's supposed to be a enjoyable pleasure to be able to eat out once in awhile when it gets all twisted like this. I'm sure a lot of you have had great experiences and I don't want to ruin that for anyone else but this was the straw that broke the camels back as they say. Not going to be treated like this by anyone, let alone a young kid. So incredibly disrespectful. read more

Sorry everyone, no pictures of food, we ate it all .....first time visiting tonight. We ordered for pickup and we were going by an older menu apparently and one of the things we ordered didn't exist anymore. However, instead of saying no or "we don't do that anymore" the cashier spoke to the manager without me even having to ask, and they made us the discontinued item, which I have to say, you need to bring it back lol. Compared to their counterpart down the street, much more impressed with Vianos customer care and quality. This place will definitely be added to our takeout rotation and I recommend that it should be added to yours read more

Just ordered from here and it was our first time. I was really looking forward to my Italian sandwich and I thought it was gonna be full of meat but it felt a little skimpy, it also didn't come with the peperoncinis like other pictures. Pizza was good too but I've had better. Not sure what I was expecting maybe because it was delivery and not dine-in read more

We really needed a caterer for our baby shower and wanted some Italian food and thankfully vianos pizza was able to accommodate the large amount of guests we had! We wanted 3 different large platters of pasta, a family size salad and a sandwich platter. They not only made some delicious pastas but gave us some additional servings as well, we had more than enough for everyone to have a couple good servings. The lasagna was delicious! The shrimp scampi was my favorite, it was very well seasoned and had a very authentic flavor to it! The sandwiches had everyone coming back though, they were so good! Thank you so much everyone at vianos pizza, cliff and Steven the owners were really great to work with and I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a good spot to sit down and eat at or looking for something to take home to the family! read more

Wanted one of my favorite, cheap pasta places that I used to go to back in college. Back in the day (last year), the prices here were unbeatable, 11$ for pasta and only a couple more to add a protein. A true staple for a broke college student. Upon coming back, I was surprised to see the restaurant empty and after getting settled, I saw one of my worst nightmares... inflation. I don't blame them but ordering a meal that used to be 22$ in total becoming 34$ was slightly disappointing. Thankfully, the taste of this gem didn't change and I was served a hearty portion of chicken parm while my friend ordered a meatball sub. I was very satisfied with the presentation of the meal and I was even hesitant to eat it because of how nice it looked. Nevertheless, I ate the chicken parm passionately as I savored each and every bite. I enjoyed reminiscing the good times in this establishment and I hope to come back soon if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Tried Viano's based on a recommendation, but unfortunately, it was a miss. My Caesar salad was brown--like, clearly-seen-it's-better-days brown. Someone saw it, packed it, and still thought it was okay to serve. I called just to give them a heads-up, and the response? "We can't control the lettuce--and if you don't like it, don't eat here." So... I guess I won't. Service matters, and this place made it clear they're not interested in fixing the small stuff--which usually means bigger problems down the line. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars. We have ordered here many times and every time we order for delivery there has always been some type of error. We understand that mistakes happen and people are human so that's why we continued to give this place a chance. Saturday we ordered a pizza expecting the hour wait..not a problem. Got our pizza delivered and it had anchovies all over it. This is not what we ordered and the pizza smelled like fish it wasn't an easy just take the anchovies off and eat them type of fix, it was gross. I called and spoke to a girl who told me that it was her fault she pressed the wrong button and mistakenly ordered our pizza with anchovies. I said okay well now it's been an hour and a half we can't leave the house at this point and now we don't have a pizza we can eat. The girl on the phone said it was gross and she wouldn't eat it either. She promised me a new pizza and a refund for the pizza. Ten minutes later we receive a call and we were told that we couldn't get a refund and the pizza so we had to choose one so we said fine just send us back the right pizza. At this point we were stuck and our options were limited. I called back and asked to speak to the manger Steve who I was told was busy and could not speak to me. Steve finally got on the phone initially raising his voice at me and being completely rude to me for no reason. I then asked him why he was raising his voice at me when I wasn't raising mine nor was I cursing at him nor was I being rude. He then said he wasn't cursing at me I said but you're raising your voice at me and I'm calmly letting you know what happened. He then asked me why I had him on the phone for 30 minutes (they called us back) he said you're getting your pizza. I said well we were also told we would get a refund and we received a call back saying we had do choose one. It's now heading into 2 hours and the mistake was not ours. He said you're getting both and hung up on me. The driver gets here and has no idea about the refund just brings us the pizza. I had to call back again and ask what happened to the refund they said they would return it to our card (we paid cash). After more confusion on their part they said they would send me a Zelle. On this last call I heard Steve screaming at the employee I was speaking to "hang up the F'ing phone" . This behavior is unacceptable in front of customers and it's unacceptable and illegal to make someone's work environment hostile. The girl I was on the phone with nervously laughed and then became rude with saying I had to hang up to receive the zelle. I'm not an idiot I know how Zelle works. She would not let me stay on the phone to make sure I received because she was getting yelled and cursed at in the background. I have two adult children who have worked since high school and I've never heard of such disgusting behavior towards employees like I did today. Nobody should be treated or spoken to like that. I saw Cliffs Instagram video about people making mistakes and deserving grace. Cliff you're a hypocrite to ask for respect when your co owner yells at customers who are calm and not yelling and yells and curses at their employees. I didn't deserve to be yelled at for asking to make things right I was calm and not raising my voice at anybody yet I was yelled at for no reason. I didn't make the mistake, you guys did I was just asking you to make it right and we still went back after previous mistakes. Word of caution if your child works here. They are getting yelled at and cursed at. Nobody deserves to work in a hostile work environment and it's disgusting behavior and illegal! Loyal customers who are being respectful do not deserve to be spoken to rudely and yelled at when they are offering respect and courtesy. We will never return I am so disappointed in the way I was treated today and what I heard. read more

I would rate Vianos a 3.5 star pizza restaurant. We ordered delivery, it arrived in about 50 minutes, and was about 4 miles away from our location. We ordered 1 large pizza and an 8 pack of buffalo wings. The pizza was good. I would not say great. They went very light with all of the toppings. It was mostly just cheese. But it still tasted good despite being soggy. There were also jalapeños missing on the pizza that I requested. We added bacon, but there was so little amount that we thought they forgot that as well. They also do not include napkins, plates, or red pepper flakes/parm cheese with your order. The wings were very good, it was high quality chicken. Probably the best I've had in a really long time. I would recommend asking for more buffalo sauce because there was only enough sauce to gently coat the wings, I personally don't mind that but I know some people would. They are not messy wings. Overall, for $60, I would not return. read more

I called to order an antipasta salad and was told "Sorry, we don't have any lettuce today".

We usually order a pizza and wings every month. Their site does not have a easy to use app order so I have been calling orders in. Tonight I called and too much noise so evvy got the order on pizza wrong. It is too far to drive back, too much traffic but we are so unhappy.i will be looking for a new pizza place with a good order app. Pizza was not very good but because she did not hear the order, it was wrong. I know it is just a bad night but so disappointed. read more

Víano's was recommended by my best friend. First order I got burned dry lasagna but calzone was absolutely delicious. So I called they gave me credit for the burnt lasagna. Second order I was craving calzone so ordered same calzone very disappointed dry too doughy practically empty inside, lasagna much better, medium cheese pizza with half pepperoni half bacon (didn't see any bacon) dry & no flavor. I really wanted to remain a customer but I'm not sure I'll go back. Maybe I need to order and eat there instead of take out read more

Well, it was a nice run. As you can see from the date of our first review, we have been coming here for years. Just recently they hired a new "chef" and he has effectively ruined the menu and raised the prices. I am entirely unsure of why the owners felt there was need for change but I hope it goes well for them. Unfortunately for us, we want the old vianos and recipes back. We are even semi ok with the higher prices but the change in recipes was not an improvement so we won't be going back. read more

Pizza was excellent. I'm from NY so I'm super picky whem it comes down to choosing a pizza spot. I thoroughly enjoyed Viano's Pizza! It was delicious!

Will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! I use them often for parties at my house, this last one I had a tray of their lasagna, plus salad and bread sticks. Feeds at least 20 people and everything was delicious.! Thank you all read more

Best pizza in Riverside! The ingredients are fresh & good quality. The sauce & dough is delicious and it is always cooked perfectly. Not greasy, like all the other pizza places around. I love the Mama's special pizza & my husband loves the Everything But Anchovies pizza. Also we are addicted to the lasagna! The employees are always polite, professional & friendly. We usually order it for pick up or delivery, but the inside of the restaurant is clean and inviting. I hope people keep supporting this place, I know we will! read more

Today was the last day I will ever step foot in that place. The prices went up significantly. I wouldn't have a problem paying it, if the pizza was amazing. A few times we have gotten the garlic knots and they were still doughy, not even cooked thoroughly. We have placed orders for pick up and almost every time they fail to add some items to my order. When we tell them they forgot to add said item they tell me it will be a 15 minute wait, after I already had my pizza. read more

My family and I just visited Viano's yesterday after our baseball game. For appetizers we ordered the mozzarella sticks (so good) and the bread sticks. The bread was soft, warm and chewy and came with a garlic alfredo sauce and a side of marinara sauce. My hubby and son each ordered a calzone, it was a big portion, they could have easily shared one. My daughter loves spaghetti so she ordered that and said it was yummy. I ordered the Spicy Caruso rigatoni and it was delicious!!!! I had everyone take a bite and they all loved it. I will definitely be back for this plate! All in all, this is a great new little spot for Italian food. read more

We had been looking for a new place for pizza and recently ran into Vianos pizza in Woodcrest. When arriving, the restaurant was pretty full and a bit confusing on whether to sit or go order, either way, the pizza and salad was the amazing!! The pizza came out sizzling hot which I appreciated, and the salad was fresh and tasty. The servers were quick and attentive. They have several television that make it great to watch a game. The people made it fun and we will return to try the pasta and lasagna. read more
