50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Riverside

“My family and I were traveling through and were looking for a place to eat. Such a great find! The food was incredibly fresh, large portions and delicious!!! The staff were so kind and accommodating. Will definitely stop again when I’m the area!“

“Food is number one but engaged and present owners set the tone in this buzzing north stamford market/deli. Fresh, generous, creative sandwiches, cool specials and the secret weapon is top notch pizza. The cha cha cha breakfast burrito might just be the morning winner too. Keep it up guys and we will remain regulars!“

“Excellent! Been a while since I’ve been here and been a while since I’ve been in the northeast, so it tastes even better after being out west for so long.“

“Fantastic pizza! Super-friendly staff. Only complaint, music way too loud.“

“Wow. Just wow. Sergio's has one of the best pizzas my husband and I have ever had (and we know pizza!). The crust was light, had just enough crunch and was topped with all kinds of cheesy and topping deliciousness. I didn't rate the atmosphere because if you didn't know there was a pizza and calzone heaven inside, you'd drive right by. DON'T LET THE APPEARANCE FOOL YOU. It was absolutely phenomenal. It was worth eating in the car (because we were driving back to NY and there was no table service - only take-out). SO WORTH IT!“

“I’m Italian from Tuscany, not a pizza expert as a Neapolitan but i still can understand if a pizza is good or not, I moved in US a couple of decades ago and this place is in my top ten list, sadly is far from where I live but I will stop again in my next trip in the area.
Grazie, Fabio“

“I don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel like i have to let everyone know there’s an extremely cute pizza delivery driver working here. The pizza was hot, but not as hot as him. Honestly, I tipped extra just for existing that good-looking. He handed me the pizza and I swear I forgot how to speak English for a second. The man could deliver me an empty box and I’d still say “thank you so much, best pizza ever.” 10/10 will continue to order from this place!!!“

“Amazing food, drink and service“

“Just like Stamford's own Cheers. Where everyone knows your name. Great people and excellent food.“

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.“

“Picked up a nice pep pie and garlic knots today and wasn't disappointed!“

“Awesome little find in Stamford’s historic South End.“

“Food is delicious. Loved it!“

“The meal was truly amazing, showcasing a delightful array of flavors and textures. The staff members were incredibly welcoming, providing attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. The atmosphere created a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for a memorable dining experience. This combination of factors resulted in a truly wonderful evening.“

“We found this hidden gem coming back from the jersey shore on route 1 in Rye NY. Tony was so pleasant he even let my daughter in the kitchen to make her own pizza and food was fantastic Thanks Tony!!“

“I've been seeing the really good food posted on Social Media and finally made the 5 minute trek. I have to say the calzones and pizza were excellent! The calzones are enormous. Where looking forward to trying something different next time, and next time will be soon! ��“

“Stamford Hospital crew orders from here all the time and food is always great. Today besides sending amazing food these guys helped with our tiny budget and feed ICU staff. THANK YOU Arcuris and Jammie for stepping up in such a difficult time for all of us ❤❤❤“

“the atmosphere was amazing, the staff was pleasant and very personable, the food was delicious and desert the chocolate bomb I believe that's the name was the perfect ending to a wonderful service also the waitress helped me pick out a non-alcoholic drink cucumber something I'm horrible with names that's why I haven't mentioned theirs because they definitely gave it I'm just horrible with remembering anyway....if you're in Stamford area go there you'll meet them tell them Emma sent you you won't regret it I live in New Jersey and will go back“

“This is my favorite spot on Planet Earth to get a Meatball Parm Sub and they know this. I have been going here for about 30 years and love the fact that it is a family owned business, so Michael Jr. is there and delivers my meatball parm sub up the street to the Cardinal Club. And the tomato and mozzarella is awesome as well. I would gladly eat ANY of the dishes from Michaels. Now I want some!“

“fast and friendly service“

“Stopped in there with 8 wild kids and the staff was so gracious and kind and helpful to all of us. The pizza came out fast and let me tell you that was one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. Kids were armwrestling for the last slice. We will go back soon even though we don't live close. Go there or order out, you won't be disappointed

Kid-friendliness: We took up every chair in the restaurant, we were even offered to put all tables together. Our kids were loud and annoying, whiny and hungry and yet the staff was so nice!“

“Try the meatball parm wedge with vodka sauce and bacon! It is Amazing!!“

“Got a half NY cheese and half Margherita. Margherita was the best I've ever had, NY cheese was up there too but wouldn't call it best ever. You're gonna have a great pizza if you order from here. I also like the simple atmosphere for sit down - it's a shared seeting area with a few other restaurants and the pizza was served on the cooking tray with paper plates. Bare basics and awesome pizza“

“Great pizza spot in Norwalk“

“Highly recommend this long time family run deli establishment! They do an incredible job using quality ingredients and the service is top notch. Their online ordering system is so easy and convenient to use and I even signed up for email offers and their loyalty program. The owner takes alot of pride in his work and it shows....great job!“

“This isn't fine dining, this is your local hole in the wall, smash-n-grab-pizza joint. It's superb. They have different pizza toppings to offer every time I visit in addition to the staples. The slices are large and the price is fair, it's a great place to carb load. 5/5 - I go quite frequently.“

“Great food. Great prices.“

“The food is great! Tony and his crew are always there to make sure you get top notch service and a delicious meal.“

“Su personal es Muy amable la pizza 🍕 es deliciosa!!!“

“Just plain awesome in every way“

“Greatest pizza by far in the Stamford region! I see A lot of complaints about rudeness! closest thing to NY Pizza and service! great food great people. Miss the cute Pizza Girl though she always made me smile! once again Good Food the margarita pizza my fav and the chicken salad LOVE IT!“

“We were absolutely blown away by the incredible generosity of the owner and the amazing pizza. The flavors were out of this world - fresh, delicious And every bite was crafted with love and pride. Thank you for such a thoughtful gesture and for making our day at workplace so special. The entire store was buzzing with happiness after tasting it. We will be definitely coming back for more.“

“Riko’s Pizza is a must-visit!
I’m celiac and finding amazing pizza that’s safe and delicious isn’t easy — but Riko’s nailed it. The crust is perfectly thin and crisp, and the flavors are incredible. They offer so many gluten-free and gluten-alternative options, and I felt totally taken care of. Their wings are also gluten free! It’s rare to find a spot that gets it right on both taste and dietary needs.

Can’t wait to come back!“

“First time to try Papa G's and very pleased. Great pepperoni pizza (crust not too thick or too thin) and cheese sticks (excellent cheese!) We'll be back when we're in the area. 😎“

“Excelent pizza..... I'll highly recommend their salads too“

“Simply put, Joe’s has the best pizza outside of New Haven and he certainly rivals even the best places in New Haven as well. We all know there’s two things that make a good pizza, dough and sauce, and Joe’s has both nailed down tight! My other big favorite is grandma‘s meatballs, they have an extraordinary flavor. It’s obvious that they take an unmatched pride in their work. The staff is always kind and attentive. I actually like it when I’ve got a few minutes to wait when I’m picking up on a busy Friday, watching the crew is interesting as they run like a finally tuned machine and do their best to get everybody taken care of in a timely manner. Highly highly recommend I would give them 10 stars if I could.“

“Great pizza, very clean place. Dawn the bartender is very efficient, and always smiling. Also the young man Nikko who is the manger is always very friendly and on top of everything going on in the restaurant making sure everyone is happy with there meals. highly recommend going there.“

“We love 1234 Pizza and order from them on a weekly basis. Our favorites are the beef pepperoni pizza, the garlic knots, and the zeppolis! We always get delivery through them. The food always arrives quickly, and it’s fresh and hot. I also feel like they are more reasonably priced compared to some of the competition. Highly recommend!“

“I would recommend chicken scarpiello spaghetti al dente with tomato sauce pizza is the best.You can’t go wrong eating at Sorrento Restaurant and the owners are very very nice 👍“

“Amazing steak sandwiches. Fantastic salad with marinated chicken and their handmade taziki (so?) sauce. John's s as good as it gets. Great service. Reasonable prices. Cafeteria ambience and restricted parking and the only two downsides. I don't downgrade for that, but it's not the most romantic first date. I will go back to Johns every time I come to Stamford! You should too!“

“The best pizza I’ve ever had! The employees and the owner are really nice, respectful and humble. In all my years living in Stamford I’ve never had a pizza so tasty and delicious.I highly recommend it! 100/10!“

“Service was great, server was very friendy. Food was tasty. And the chef knows how to cook a rare burger!“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“Used to go for lunch at least twice a week when I worked in Stamford… for 15 years straight! Since I moved out of the area, literally ANY time I pass through Stamford (or even a half hour from it!) I stop for that incredible salad of theirs. There’s nothing like it, covered in feta, Gorgonzola and onions, with that perfect house dressing. It’s simply the best and remains my favorite salad ever!“

“Went there for the first time today with my family for Father’s Day. The food and service was excellent! Would definitely go again!“

“Everything and more! This is a solid go to place 👏👏👏“

“Constantino’s makes the perfect pizza. The ingredients are so fresh and the customer service experience is the cherry on top. We went for the soft opening a few weeks back and the atmosphere was so family oriented and welcoming. Some of the best pizza I have had! They have a bunch of different kinds but the grandma pizza and the plain pizza are out of this world! You have to try this place. Mike the owner is absolutely wonderful and knows what really good pizza is.“

“Pizza is always delicious“

“Nice friendly atmosphere, the pizza and prices are good. My 2nd visit and will continue. No problem with parking.“

“Always great:) If you grew up here, it’s part of you:)“
