Tower of Pizza

Dave is a sweetheart. He makes top-​notch, oldschool pizza pies and really appreciates your business. Tower is the kind of place where you want to spend your money. First-​choice pizza in Downtown Riverside.

I don’t ever leave Unilocal reviews, but this place was too good not to. Found this place randomly online and decided to check it out. Some of the best pizza I have ever had! And the owner is so nice also. Definitely coming back!

This is an amazingly great find. Loved all the food and the service was great! I am coming back soon

This guy is a nice old guy :-) he does it all himself and the pizza is really good. We ordered medium pepperoni pizza, salad and 10 pieces of wings. Everything was great, I requested the pizza to be well done and it was also a lot of cheese on it. We really enjoyed our food. It’s might be a little pricey but it’s worth the money because the owner used all fresh ingredients.

Fast and friendly customer service was one of the best parts of the experience and the food was good also. I ordered a medium pizza with pepperoni, onions, and sausage. I ordered extra cheese and pepperoni on it as well. I got the 15 piece chicken wings as well. This came out to $ 32. A little pricey. I will say that you can tell they use fresh ingredients on their pizzas which makes a difference. The pizza was good but the wings were BOMB, although I wish they were a bit more meatier. Overall, good place and I would eat their again.

The wife and I wanted to try something new. Read the reviews and decided to try it. Pizza was amazing! Fresh ingredients and the crust was perfect. Owner makes each pizza himself and takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend this place.

This place looks nice inside, and it smelled soooo good! However, we ordered our pizza when it was about to close. When we got home the pizza was RAW! The crust were burnt! We decided to go ahead and put the pizza in the oven, it was still raw! We couldn’t finish a slice. It made us feel sick to our stomach. Don’t get me started on the antipasto salad! They used iceberg lettuces and the ham they use is cheap sandwich ham. We paid $ 27.10 for a good meal… it was a waste of our money. :(we were super disappointed. Maybe he was in a hurry to make our food, but every costumer deserves great food not raw! We are never going to this place again.

I walked in and said «Mmmm, it smells good in here. „. Dave was quick to reply,“ I know I made it!» We both laughed and he introduced himself. I ordered an extra large double pepperoni and man did they deliver! I’m used to always ordering and paying for extra pepperoni but when I open that pizza box I am always disappointed. Well not at tower! There was pepperoni on ever inch of that pizza! I was very pleasantly surprised! This is a small place but there have a few tables and chairs if you want to sit and eat. My pizza was less than 20 bucks. It was really delicious! This is my new pizza place when I visit my brother who lives walking distance from here. Sadly they don’t deliver.

Took a 20 minute trip to try this place from the Unilocal reviews and the website says open at 11. Sooo not open at 11, lucky to be open by noon with the crickets inside. It’s almost noon now, no sign of life so this place sucks.

Opens at 11:00 my a$$. Sat in front of this place til 11:55 and gave up. I don’t know if the pizza is good or not. I wish I did.

One of the top 3 pizza places in Riverside if not the best. One thing that is the best is the owner, he genuinely thanks me every time I’m in to pick up my pies. Never had a bad pizza yet from this place, order from here today and often, this place deserves to be busier. See you again soon Dave !!!

Dave whips up a mean pie at this hard to see location. He has been there a really long time and built up a loyal following over the years.
I usually call ahead, but sometimes I walk over and have a beer and watch whatever game is on while I wait. It’s a small interior, it would be great if more people came and hung out.
The proximity to the bus station and a liquor store are the only downside. I still think the pizza is worth the price compared to the slightly doughy crust at nearby establishments.
I need to diversify and try the hot and cold sandwiches sometime.

Good pizza for the price. Friendly service. Rather quick with the wait. A little more sauce and cheese and it would be perfect. All in all, it was pretty good.

kann man einfach nur empfelen ein bissel herruntergekommen aber gutes preis leistungs verhältnis.

Its good. Got a personal pepperoni with extra cheese for 6.8 $. Good flavor and crust. Its small little place. No drawbacks and i will go back.

Not great, or even good.
Not «bad» either. Just OK.
Expected it to be great, or at least good, based on the reviews.
$ 16 for one large OK doesn’t work for me.

The pizza here is amazing. We do not like big chain– greasy pizza. The crust is crispy and toppings are fresh. Not much more to it. Also, as far as we can tell there is only one guy running the place and cooking the food. His name is Dave and he is cool.

Dang!!! This is some seriously good pizza and I’m a pizza snob. Small place. The owner (Dave) takes his time. He doesn’t skimp on the toppings that’s for sure. May be one of the best pizzas I ever had. Will go back or sure. Only thing that would make it better is sometimes the crust is a little floppy. I like a little more chew in my crust.

I stopped in here for a pizza on a whim whilst finding myself hungry in Riverside the other day. Frankly, I was not expecting much, given that this place was in a bit of a dodgy strip mall (there was literally a gang unit busting up a party in the parking lot next door when I was there), and at dinner time it was staffed by exactly one individual (the owner). A basketball game was showing on a tiny, dusty, ancient TV in the corner.
However– while waiting for my pizza, sitting in the small dining room, watching the game, I began to get intrigued.
For one thing, this guy has a SERIOUS collection of old beer marketing signs, lights, posters and gimmicks that span a few decades. If the local distributor offered it, he got it. And if he got it, he put it up. And if he put it up, it’s still on the wall! Wow– what fun to look at all this stuff and reminisce about old beer marketing campaigns! Anyway, it became clear to me that he’s not new at the business of making pizza!
When I got my pie, he seemed genuinely pleased to have me as a customer, shook my hand and thanked me.
I took the box with the pizza away… when I opened it up a mile or so away, I was immediately pleasantly surprised! He had been very generous with the toppings, there was a fair amount of cheese on it, and it actually looked good! Then, I tasted it. Well, hello new favorite Riverside pizza joint!!! The crust was just about perfect, the sauce was just right, as was the cheese. I wound up refusing to share the pie with anyone, and eating it for dinner, midnight snack, and for breakfast the next morning. I’ll most certainly go back for more next time I find myself near R’side!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I’ve been going to this place for the past 10 years! I love their pizza it’s soooooo yummy! My family always gets the «party pizza» it’s so big for such a good price! I recommend this to place to everyone! I love the owner and his son! They are always so friendly and helpful when I need help carrying the party pizza because it’s so big!

If you’re in the area and haven’t had their pizza you’re missing out! Generous toppings and delicious crust! The owner is a very nice & humble man. This place has been in business for 27 years.
