When Richard and I crave pizza and we are not in Rome, Scratch Pizza is our family favorite. Fresh ingredients ignite flavor in every bite, and today’s cauliflower crust pizza proved to be our new obsession. Their daily specials and combos elevate the experience, delivering value without sacrificing taste. The service is warm and memorable—make sure to say hello to Blanca when you visit.

This pizza place was good. They made our order pretty quickly from scratch. The garlic knots were good. Price was good. The only thing that sucked was it was hot in there and they only had one table to accompany anyone eating in. I’d def order again but maybe take it to go.

I went there for the Mexican food spot next-door but I have to tell you I am very impressed with the quality and service of food at this pizza place so good

Just came here for the first time. I will definitely be back. Good lunch specials. My personal pizza (which was bigger than most I've seen) was fresh and very tasty. Came with a salad and drink. Clean, nice atmosphere and very personable and accommodating employees. I recommend that you give it a try.

First time ordering from here because of an ad I saw on IG. Let me tell you - this place was deeeee-lish-us!!! Ordered the ultimate pepperoni and cheese pizza, garlic and parmesan bone in wings, and cannoli. Great tasting wings, cooked to a crisp. Pizza is perfectly prepared, not greasy, and great cheese to sauce to crust to pepperoni ratio. Soft but flavorful. I will totally be back. Great find. We ordered via UberEats and the food was still warm, even reheated it was amazing.

Pizza isn't about reinventing the wheel, it's about a relatively cheap dinner that tastes good. To that end, this is a nicer pizza than I usually get, and it feels like I'm treating myself. The pizza is high quality and not too expensive. 10/10

Wow! Took the kids, and family friends to pizza after 2 hours at sky zone. What a great place to sit and have pizza. The pizza was amazing. The Tuscany Pizza was off the charts! The grandbaby (2yr old) liked looking through the window watching the girls make the pizza. For 9 people the price was perfect! The staff was vary nice. We had a great experience. I wish I lived close by. Next time I'm in riverside I will definitely be coming back to get a pizza. Thank you so much Scratch Pizza for a great evening and a full belly of good, good food

I’ve had scratch pizza a few times. They’re pretty good. At first I thought it was a chain moving into the area because they have a very professional look about them. Logos, custom boxes, fancy signs and website with online ordering. But they’re not. They’re a mom and pop trio of 3 restaurants(for now). If you have followed my other reviews, you’ll see a trend. I review pepperoni pizzas. It’s my favorite topping, and if you can’t get this right, you should quit making pizza. The one pictured is actually triple pepperoni with basil and garlic butter crust. Why triple pep with basil? Cause they have a 4 topping special! Anyway, it’s a good pizza. A little bit of a flop (keeps it out of the 7s) but great flavor. A little on the doughy side, but NOT and I repeat NOT the California “load it up with cheese” mess that many California pizza places do. The crust on the handle side has a nice crunch to it. If you ask for it well-done it will take a lot of the flop out. Really good sauce and they used over-sized pepperonis. Not quite deli counter sized, but about twice as big around as a regular hormel slice. The basil and garlic butter though are great add ons. Bonus review: they’re one of the few places in the region that has PEPPERONI ROLLS. I love pepperoni rolls. Scratch Pepperoni Rolls are really good. The best I’ve had outside of western Pennsylvania/west Virginia. But there’s a trick to ordering them. The plain pepperoni rolls I’d give the same as the pizza, 6.8. But ask for them to be brushed with garlic butter. Trust me. Garlic butter on these pepperoni rolls = 8.7. I haven’t had pizza from their other two locations, but the pics I’ve seen indicate they maintain quality across all 3 spots, and with only 3 spots in fairly close geographical area, that should be easy to do. Basically, if you want a decent pizza that’s a little heavier than a traditional NY pie, head over to get a pizza, handmade, from Scratch.

Pizza is delicious but the wings are not good at all. Don’t waste your money on the wings. They were cold.

First and foremost, the cauliflower crust pizza did in fact taste good! However, it was a "personal" sized pizza as that's all they offer in the cauliflower crust style pizza. It was $10 with 2 toppings, I felt like they are over charging for such a small sized "personal" pizza at $10. Needless to say, I added extra toppings. Additional toppings are $2.00. I also ordered the Mediterranean salad, and it too was great tasting. The salad was a large sized salad, I was able to split that with 2 additional people, and two of us served ourselves seconds of the salad. The salad was $9, and I felt like they were generous for that price. And finally, I ordered the Garlic Knots, which were great tasting, and a decent size for the price of $5, but they were stingy with the marinara sauce, I had to ask for extra marinara sauce in order to have sufficient sauce the garlic knots. The service was okay, nothing special. They forgot to provide us with utensils. I had to get up and ask about forks for the salad. The cash register worker was nice, smiling, and thorough, so no complaints there. All in all the food was good tasting. But I believe they are being a bit too pricey for what you get in return. A bit more customer service would help. And if they either lower their prices, or provide you with more quantity/items for the price, then I would rate them above a 3 star rating. I can't say I would go back voluntarily. If someone was to desire visiting this place then ok yes, I would go because of their request, but I would not go as a voluntary decision of my own. Do I recommend it? Sure, give it a try, you can't knock it until you try it. 😁

The Tuesday night deal makes no since and requires more transparency. You get an XL pizza that is actual they're L size. The other option is the Detroit style which I made the critical error of ordering. The size is not list for either of these items on the website. The Detroit style pizza is smaller than an individual pizza and the "XL" is a L. They are both the same price. Pizza great and sometimes a cheap option but this was misleading soured our experience.

I had seen this place on TikTok and tried it. The food was mediocre, I liked the chicken wings better than the pizza. The pizza didn't have enough cheese and the pizza was too thick and too much veggies. If I go back I'll try just the pepperoni and cheese. They were super friendly and had a cozy atmosphere.

I placed an online order for 3 pizzas. One of which was ordered to be thin crust which this company charges for.... When I got there and they opened the box to show you your pizza, I asked "Thats thin crust?" She looked me in my face and said "yes". That is either a lie because my other 2 pizzas had the same size crust or every pizza they make is thin crust. I have added my photo to better show my explanation. For $50+ I expected better pizza and absolutely no lying. Sad to say I won't be going here again. :(

Tried for the third time after commenting on a Facebook post, wishing the pizza I bought looked like the picture, Scratch Pizza replied to try it again, well here are the pictures. I count 8 pepperoni, and look at the sasuage, this should have had two different sasuages, the other picture is a side shot, the pictures they had on Facebook showed the toppings falling over the edge! Well, not mine!!
