Papa Joe's Pizza - Riverside

Fire. You can really tell when a pizza is made with care, and that was definitely the case today. This pizza isn't the fluffy kind, which I appreciate. The sauce is perfectly balanced—not too much, not too little. I ordered sausage and bacon, and you can tell they were properly cooked rather than just zapped in the microwave. There's a noticeable difference between this place and the usual chains like Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, and Little Caesars. The service is quick, but the parking lot is small, so you might want to reconsider bringing your big red truck. I also got wings, which come with celery and carrot sticks.

I've passed by this pizza place several times, and finally decided to stop in. I ordered two large pizzas, wings, and cheese bread, and wow! The pizza is excellent; the taste is indescribable! The wings are also amazing—big, flavorful, and truly impressive. The cheese bread is fantastic as well. I won't be buying pizza from big-chain companies anymore. These guys have really perfected it! A definite must-try!!!

My favorite was the Meat Signature Pizza, loaded with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, salami, and the highlight—crispy, well-cooked bacon. Unlike other places where you might get soggy bacon, this was perfect. My second favorite was the BBQ Chicken Pizza; if you love barbecue sauce, you’ll really enjoy this one. My third choice was the Tuscan Pizza, and while the Santa Fe Chicken Pizza was also very good, it would be my fourth choice personally. I highly recommend this place!

My favorite was the Meat Signature Pizza, which includes pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, salami, and the standout ingredient: perfectly cooked bacon—not like the soggy, undercooked bacon you find elsewhere. My second favorite was the BBQ Chicken Pizza; if you enjoy barbecue sauce, you’ll love this one. Third place goes to the Tuscan Pizza, and while my fourth choice, the Santa Fe Chicken Pizza, was also very good, it didn’t quite match up to the others. I highly recommend this place!

I absolutely love this pizza place and always enjoy my visits. It's conveniently located near my home, and the pizza is incredibly delicious. They offer a wide variety of pizzas, and there's also a great selection of side dishes to choose from. Plus, they deliver right to your door. There's a huge following for this place in Riverside, and the locals really appreciate it.
