Pizza 45

The best pizza in riverside/​corona area… The bomb they have great pasta and wings as well !!!

Amazing calzones! Pricing is inexpensive, customer service is awesome! I would recommend Pizza 45 to anyone in the area.

Being the pizza fanatic that I am, I was super excited to see a new pizza place open up in town. I came in and ordered a veggie pizza to go without any cheese. Now, I’ll begin with the pros. The toppings were super plentiful!!! There is nothing more agonizing than ordering a pizza and getting a few measly olives and some tomato slices draped over the top. I got a beautiful amount of toppings, which completely enhanced the flavor!
Now, onto the cons. Keep in mind that I’m full blooded Italian and I’m an extremely harsh critic when it comes to my pizza. I always judge a pizza by the crust and tomato sauce. Unfortunately, the crust on this pizza was very mediocre and run of the mill. Sadly, the tomato sauce was in the same position. If the crust was thinner/​had a more doughy inside (as opposed to bready), and if the sauce had more flavor, this place would be an easy 5. I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to coming back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

New to Corona it’s hard to find good food but Pizza 45 is the spot for some fresh great pizza.

I have been looking for a good pizza place in Corona and I finally have a favorite. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. Great cheese and good crust!

Ate here tonight. Arrived at 8:20, no line. Ordered a salad, and the boyfriend ordered a small Hawaiian and a side of cheese bread. My salad was the perfect size, I actually didn’t finish it because I was still full from my snack earlier but it would have been perfect if I didn’t eat prior. The veggies were fresh and crisp. My boyfriend said the pizza was not soggy, it was the right amount of crispy and they didn’t skimp on the toppings. It was pretty full! The dipping sauce for the breadsticks– was AMAZING. If that’s what they serve with the spaghetti… Oh damn, I’ll be back for that. That sauce was superb. The highlight of the night was Michael! Super attentive, came by about 4 times to make sure we were okay. Loved the customer service! By the time we left, about 8:55– the place was poppin. Almost all the seats were taken.

Good pizza, fresh salads and very nice staff. Not the cheapest so minus 1 star. But that’s probably why their food is good so no shame in that. Next door to Yogurtland too.

I love pizza and I’m always down to try new pizza parlors. I found out about this place driving by and tonight I finally tried it. Many reviews compare this place to Pieology but it’s not the same. Pizza 45 also has the option of creating your own pizza but not in the style of Pieology. It’s just like any other pizza parlor, but limited to 3 toppings. I came on a Sunday night and it was slow. Plenty of seating and it was swifty clean. I think there was a patio space but it was too dark for me to notice. Ithad a lititle bit of an old pizza parlor kinda feeling — I like this place. The crew was super nice, all smiles! They were efficient too — when they weren’t doing anything they cleaned the countertops. I ordered a personal pizza from their menu, I got the Chicken Pesto. The guy who cooked my pizza gave it to me with a smile. He also gave me a bag of parmesan and peppers. I had to wait til I got home to devour. WOW! Instant foodgasm. It was really good. The dough. The sauce. The cheese. The toppings. Yea everything. Everything kept falling off but pizza is messy right?! And that’s what fingers are for! My only thing was there should be more chicken, it was still delish! I’m thinking about coming back tomorrow and try something else from their menu. Maybe another pizza, the Buffalo one? Or one of their pastas? We will see. I think they should have a punch card, like after 10 personal pizzas get a free one? Hehe
I’ll be back!
And I did come back and got the BBQ Chicken… and came back another time and tried the Spicy Buffalo.
Ranking
1. Chicken Pesto
2. BBQ Chicken
3. Spicy Buffalo

Been here three times and had pasta dishes each time and they have all been very good. There are plenty of pizza places in corona but not many good Italian places so this is my new favorite. Having pizza tonight, I’m sure it’s going to be great.

When I’m stressed out, I want carbs. Also when I’m stressed, I don’t have the friendliest face. And I have no patience.
Today I went in for my fix and I got a friendly hello with a smile, and a promise to have my pizza ready in 10 minutes. I left to get coffee nearby (where the service was horrible) and came back in exactly 10 minutes. My pizza was ready, as promised. I got more smiles and friendliness. THANK YOU Pizza 45, for your awesome employees and DELICIOUS pizza. You make my day better.

LOVE this, came on my lunch break and they were not busy at all! Ordered a personal pizza and they had a special going on for $ 6.99 for 3 toppings I was super excited! I was even able to chose Alfredo sauce versus marinara! My fave!!! Will definitely be coming back!!! Staff is super friendly and quick! The inside is very clean and in my opinion was better Han mountain mikes and pieology!

We have been going to Pizza 45 from time to time since it opened about 6 months ago. In an age of pizzerias with a ‘make your own pie’ model like Pieology and the not-​so-​good Pizza Rev in South Corona, Pizza 45 is somewhat of an anomaly. On the one hand, you can create your own individual pizza with a list of available toppings, but without the Chipotle-​style assembly line. That doesn’t mean the end result is not excellent, however. The cooks make the pizzas carefully and do a good job getting the order right. In addition, you can choose from several existing configurations and even order from a broader menu of items including pastas, salads, and sandwiches.
The Good
— High quality food
— Courteous and helpful staff
— Something on the menu for everyone
The Bad
— Can’t think of anything

Really Really enjoyed my pizza!

We stopped in to give this place a try and we were glad we did. We had the Angel Hair Pasta. Yum.
Staff was friendly and attentive and the place was clean. Seating is available outside too.

I dig this place. I’ve eaten here many times. Love the All Meat pizza and BBQ Chicken. I tried the 3 meatballs w/​o cheese tonight. Pretty tasty. I’ll be back fo sho!

If you want some gourmet pizza in corona this is the place to go! When I first walked in I noticed the place wasn’t all that big yet they had a nice design, the ambiance was family friendly and the staff was very nice.
I wasn’t sure what to get at first but the staff recommended I try the brick oven fire grilled pizza. I order the BBQ chicken and let me tell you, wow! I also ordered some hand tossed wings that where cooked to perfection. Crispy yet flavorful!
Overall this place is great! I really enjoyed my dining experience and I will most definitely be dining here again. But next time I’m going to bring my family because I can’t just enjoy this alone.
Thank you Pizza 45!

It was very clean in there, which is nice so star for that but… I were hoping for pizza and beer date with my fiancé… we never been here thinking pizza place, ok so they SHOULD have beer… uh nope… the pizza was only one size and when I took the first bite the whole pizza fell apart and it was way doughy!!!
I do give you props on the bacon too was great but not star worthy…
Sorry guys [I’d rather eat little cesar… AND I HATE LITTLE CESER]

AMAZING!!!
Okay so if you read through my reviews you will see that I’m a pretty judgmental person and very critical when it comes to my food. So for me to say a place is amazing that means that the food is exceptional, and you should begin to grab your purse, keys, children if applicable, iPad/​whatever personal belongs you need, and head out the door to Pizza 45.
Now the inside is not very big, so I suggest getting it to go and the seating is limited and not super comfy. The staff are all wonderful, very friendly, patient, and helpful if you require help in personalizing your custom pizza. This place is designed like a pizza buffet, so you can tailor your pizza to exactly what your taste buds are craving that day! How awesome is that?! Or if you lack creativity like me, you can order off the regular pizza menu lol
So I went with the Quatro Chesse pizza (but no Gorgonzola cheese and added feta instead). And duuude it was PERFECT! I am very picky when it comes to pizza, especially white pies, and this exceeded my expectations by far! Very impressed with this place!!!
My only gripe about this place is the prices. You’re basically gonna spend $ 10 for a personal sized pizza. So if you have big eaters, they will most likely be able to handle a while pizza themselves. And you could end up spending $ 40 easily if you have 4 people in your party. And that’s just for a small pizza for each person, no drinks or appetizers. So price is a little bit steep, but I believe it is a necessary splurge if you want bomb pizza.

A new create your own pizza place in town, I had to try it out!
Having been in the space before when it was a burger place, it was nice to see they did a good job in turning it into a pizza place, nice atmosphere and décor, super clean and well maintained.
The staff was very nice and already had worked out all the kinks and made us a great meal.
$ 8 for 3 toppings of your choice is what keeps me from giving them 5 stars as most other places offer unlimited toppings for that price.
Also did not love that they used to offer 5 toppings for that price and simply crossed it out and wrote 3.
Either way, I went with the veggie pizza which was tasty and did have quite a bit of toppings on it.
The pizzas are a bit smaller then the ones you find at other create your own chains, but the dough is a bit thicker and better quality. A floury Italian style crust, baked perfectly.
My husband had the bacon and egg and my son created his own and we all enjoyed them.
The salads are great as well, I had a house salad and my husband the antipasti which was loaded with meat and generous in size.
Good dressings, good pesto, great addition to the area and I wish them all the best!

We decided to try something different and noticed they recently had their grand opening. My fiancéé and I were in the mood for pizza so we decided to give Pizza 45 a try… We are glad we did!
The girl at the register greeted us with a smile and was very patient in waiting for us to decide what to order. I decided to go with the Spicy Buffalo Chicken With Ranch pizza, and she went with the BBQ Chicken pizza, WOW! THEY WERE DELICIOUS!
The cheese was hot and melting, the toppings and chicken were meaty, thick and fresh. The portions are HUGE! (This is coming from a 6“2 Big Guy) I couldn’t finish the last 3 slices so we packed it for leftovers. We were so impressed we ordered a Chicken Alfredo’s pasta to go for tomorrow for our lunch! The nice girl even threw in the chicken for free after a little mistake. This spoke volumes to us in a good way. We are telling our friends about this place and this is definitely our go to pizza spot now. Go try it now, you won’t be disappointed!
