Quintessential off the beaten path Wisconsin pizza joint! Also one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had consistently visit after visit. The food is amazing, the staff always friendly and quick. Highly recommend the homemade thin pizzas, you can’t go wrong. I make sure to go here every time I visit Saukville from my home state of NC.
On Wednesday we ordered a Christmas tree pizza and a chicken Parmesan pizza. They were both sooooooo good! In fact they were so good that we ordered two of each of them tonight. Plus, we ordered their hand rolled mozzarella sticks and cheesy garlic bread (which is free for every two pizzas you order on Friday nights). By the way, both the mozzarella sticks and garlic bread are homemade. If it was possible everything was even better tonight. If you haven’t eaten at Riverview Inn, run don’t walk to this sleeper of a restaurant. I would give them 100 stars ⭐ on this review if I could. Both times I was greeted very warmly and despite the fact they were super busy both times I didn’t have to wait long to get my orders. I can’t say enough to how good their food is. I would eat here every night if I could. Thank you so much Riverview Inn for the delicious pizza, mozzarella sticks, and cheesy bread. We will definitely be back again in the future!
Truly the most quaint dining experience I’ve had in ozaukee county! This hidden gem is nestled back on a country road, just waiting for you to come and discover it. The warm and inviting inside decor reminds you of being inside a cozy log cabin. Not only is the garlic bread made from thick slices of their very own home made white bread loaves, the pizza is Devine! Come and taste for yourself and you could very well become the very next famous pizza named after you!! (See photo)
Great pizza, salads and mozzarella sticks. Very friendly staff.
First time customer. I can see why some would not leave a review as to keep this a hidden secret. But obviously a secret not kept well as this has been around for 50 plus years. From the décor, genuine service and greetings from the owner, it does not fall short of truly caring of it's customers. If you're looking for lengthy menu options, look elsewhere. Simple and just enough to tantalize the palette. Had to try the ARTY chips accompanied by two 14in pizza's; one thin and one medium for the family....just enough and darn close to a wood fire bottom crust. Previous reviews have got it right. A quaint quasi mini version of Cheers (no Norm to be found) ambiance on a country road open just long enough 5 days a week where if I was to be a regular, I may consider reserving a stool at the bar or any seat for that matter in the Riverside pizza house . Sure, it's easy to order the $10 Costco or $5 Aldi pizza and feed the family, but if you're going to go out and treat yourself, homemade crust will always win with. If I want deep dish, I'll travel 90 miles south. I just want to know where the Christmas will fit?
A great find for delicious pizza in a throwback setting. We had the thin crust Christmas Tree pie - perfect crust and well-topped. It actually stayed piping hot for 8-10 minutes - magic! Genial owner - also try their garlic bread and consider taking home a loaf of that bread - wonderful crumb. Open Monday - Friday evenings only and absolutely a must try!
Love it. It does not look like much from the outside but it is awesome on the inside. Very clean and the service is great. They use good quality ingredients, you can taste the difference. Very family freindly.
Really cool pizza restaurant.looks like a log cabin inside. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is family oriented. If you're in the saukville area come check them out.
