Papa Joe's Pizza

Great food, everything was hot and super good, great crispy potato wedges and a meat lovers.

/hey make this "FLYING SAUCER" (giant) pizza. So good and feeds a small army. It literally feed 5 adults and 2 teenagers!

The so called manager was a joke. He does not have any organization skills. There was empty group of tables that were not cleaned for an hour after the people left. The pizza I saw looked worse then a store brand frozen pizza that had been microwaved. The prices were too high for what you were getting....

Pizza and Calzones are my go-to. Service outstanding. The owner and crew are flat out nice folks who go out of their way to please. Nice gem away from the hustle and bustle. There's also a little bar and game room.

We decided to get in the car and drive away from the hotel we were staying out for some local pizza. While there was plenty Downtown we opted for just a little farther out and found Papa Joe’s. It had some pretty good reviews and looked like a little shop we’d love. The parking lot is pretty busy and we drove past the pizza shop itself at first because the signage and lighting was so dark. We turned around in the lot and drove again where we saw some of the window signage. We were greeted instantly and looked over the menu for a moment. There is a smaller seating area with an arcade area as well. I even saw some signs they offer birthday party options, how fun! It was pretty busy when we arrived so we picked one of the last tables. We chose the meat lover pizza, wings, some beer on tap and soda. Service was great. The man helping us was funny, friendly, answered all of our questions and brought our food over once ready. While I don’t typically care for baked wings these were phenomenal. They were crispy on the outside, the kick was good with a hint of smoke flavor. The chicken wasn’t dry and wings good size. Best part no huge sauce mess. I don’t mind sauced sings; I love them actually, but these were the best I’ve had. The pizza came out soon after. It looked good, perfect size and flavor good. I’d of preferred a crispier crust, but every thing else was on point. The place itself looked like they were short a little help and some of the tables were piling up with glasses, plates and such, but as soon as they had a chance someone was picking up. Great stop at a local Riverside joint.

I just moved to Riverside just before Covid and couldn't find the perfect pizza place until my wife found this place. Now I'm coming here all the time for pizza.
