We tried this on the first night we moved here from out of state, and we instantly fell in love! Â We made our own veggie pizza and it was delicious. Â
The second time we got pizza I called for carry out and they helped me order the pizzas in a different way so that I could save money. We got the taco supreme pizza (which came with a container of lettuce, salsa, and sour cream) and the chicken garlic pizza. Â They were both extremely delicious fresh and days after.
This is a good local place that we will be going back to many times.
Let me make short and to the point. Â I have eaten pizza in the Spokane area for the last 35 years with great reservation since I was stationed just north of Chicago while I was in the Navy. Â I ate some of the best pizza ever made while visiting Chicago and Milwaukee. Â So when I came home from the Navy my taste for pizza had changed. Â The only time I ate pizza is when the rest of my family wanted to eat it.
Last fall we moved out to Otis Orchards, WA and went to have dinner at the local grill across the street from River City Pizza. Â We were not aware that they had just implemented new winter hours and were closed when we arrived. Â It had been a long day with painting the new house and we were hungry. Â My wife suggested that we try River City Pizza. Â I was hungry and agreed.
I will summarize my experience that this pizza parlor is family owned and operated. Â Someone taught them how to make real pizza! Â Without question, they have the best crust I have eaten in 35 years. Â There toppings are plentiful and flavorful. Â It brought back old memories of days long gone.
Last but not least, if something is not right then the family makes it right. Â It's that simple. Â River City Pizza hands down has the best pizza in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Â Now we eat there at least a couple of times per month. Â More often when we can.
It blows my mind that this place does not have a review on Yelp! Then again, maybe not. RCP does reside in Spokane County, not known for the high literacy rate of it's brain dead residents.
But if you are one of the literate ones and stumbled upon this place via Yelp, do yourself a favor and go get a pizza! Or two. Or three. And some garlic bread sticks!
My wife and I arrived today from our new home on Maui, a 3000 mile pilgrimage to visit ungrateful family and re-visit the shame of living in Spokane for several years. What is the first thing we did when we got into town? Called RCP and ordered a 10" double pepperoni, green pepper and onion pizza on a garlic crust with a side order of garlic bread sticks. It was a painful, mouth watering drive back to the hotel as the anticipation of that pie nearly drove us into a frenzy. It was as wonderful as we remembered it. A perfect crust, ample cheese and toppings and a great tangy sauce. The sticks were soft and garlic infused... everything was still hot and so, so delicious. And the topper? It was less than $15!!! It is as if they gave it to us for FREE.
There are a lot of pizza shops trying to go gourmet in Spokane. They suck. If you want a quality pie and don't want to break the bank run to RCP. It's pizza. Not rocket science. And it's damn good. So good that my wife said that if she ever gets caught for some future crime that puts her in the ol' electric chair, her last meal would be an RCP pie. And this is from a girl who has been enjoying the five star offerings on Maui.
GO EAT THERE.
