I got another chance to try their pizza, i was contacted a few days after my first review and the owner felt really bad that i has a bad experience with the pizza and wanted me to try it again.
My roomie and i trekked over there after tennis one night and our slices were on the hoose!
My slice was definitely better the second time around, i wouldnt say its my fave pizza ever but i love that there is a place in dt naper that offers pizza by the slice!
if you're out in naperville hitting the bars and you're craving some pizza, walk on over to riverwalk pizza and try a slice!
or be a fatty and order a pizza and eat it all yourself. i wont judge you.
I read yelp reviews as I was waiting for my pie to come out of the oven and I got so excited! I had a few different people rave about it, and it did not disappoint! I got a slice fresh out of the oven, and it was so so so good. whatever he puts on that cheese is delicious. PERFECT crust. Like, this pizza is no joke. He should win every pizza award out there. Also, the restaurant was so cute! I've lived in south Naperville for 17 years and so I never really thought of it as a "college town" but it was so charming how he had decorated with NCC stuff. There are two tables, and the whole place seats six. It was quiet, but as we were leaving he was breaking out the speakers to probably play some tunes. Definitely going back
Review Source:Call me crazy but I would take pizza hut over this. The atmosphere was great! The guy at the counter treated us as royalty and the cheesy breadsticks were delicious but honestly, the pizza wasn't my taste style. If you like the "heavy" pizza taste and style, I think you might like it. I will certainly give it another try because I think overall it was good!
Review Source:Where the hell do you go for a slice of pizza these days? Â Seems like most places either serve a whole pie or you have to sit down, get waited on, and possibly pay a delivery charge or tip. Â I like this pace for a couple of reasons and I have some suggestive comments as well. Â It's locally owned and nice to see places like this.
Anyways, the guys running it were nice and the food we ordered was a great value for the money. Â We had 2 slices of pizza (one cheese, one pepperoni), an Italian beef with cheese, cheese bread, and a couple of sodas. Â The total bill was somewhere around $16, which probably is around $6 cheaper than a fast food meal somewhere else using equivelant quantities. Â It took perhaps 15 minutes for our food to be made, but it was hot and fresh, and I would guess that it would have been faster at midnight when the bars start to let out when the pizza rotisserie is likely to be spinning full. Â We were there around 6:30pm on a Saturday.
Now, for the suggestions. Â Pizza was not as memorable as I would have liked it to be, if this is their core competency. Â Not bad by any means, but it does not leave me with the desire to have it again right away. Â You know that feeling when you have had the best meal in your life? Â That was not the case. Â But look at my first line in this review -- where else do you go to get a slice these days? Â Perhaps a crispier crust, experiment with a thinner crust version, or add some light seasoning to the top. Â The slices here are thick and you can eat with a knife and fork and served in a paper to-go slice box. Â The pizza had a lot of cheese, but it's the type of slice where if you ate it while walking, the cheese might slide off and slap onto your face leaving you with bread and sauce. Â This is my personal preference - Sbarro pizza slices are big but you can run with them.
I like Italian Beef a lot, and although I consider Portillo's to be the benchmark, I do like a homemade sandwich from places like this and they usually taste about the same as each other. Â It was a great tasting sandwich, maybe a little dry, but overall up to my expectations. Â A little side of gravy probably would have done the trick - I don't recall seeing it on the menu, nor did I ask for any, so I can't fault them for this! Â This sandwich tastes the same as the one at Traverso's in Naperville, and it costs much more there.
The cheese bread was great, one of the better I have ever had. Â Would not change a thing about this one.
So, I will likely try again, perhaps when I am in downtown Naperville again in the future.
I think this place will go over well for the after-bar crowd. Â It's also just down the street from North Central, so it's a quick and easy way to grab a meal.
pizza by the slice in downtown naperville after 2 am was much needed the owner is always around and is a great guy really wants to get to know the customers in the area i haave been there a few times and every time the pizza is awesome have not worked my way thru the menu yet but just from the customer service makes me want o come back and the fact that the pizza is good i will come back repeatedly
Review Source:This place is the bomb! Â I am a Chicago pizza 'snob' and I have to say this place has it done right! Â The menu selections are plentiful and I cannot get enough of their root beer floats! Â The calzones are HUGE and everything is reasonably priced given they are near the college and the hospital. Â Super convenient, open late (post bar closing, hurrah!) and the owner Mike is the nicest man you will ever want to meet. Â He 'gets pizza' through and through and the sauce is his own secret recipe - it's awesome! Â I strongly recommend this place to singles, families, college kids - anyone from age 5 to 500--check it out!
