University Pizza Company (UPC) 1201 University Avenue, Riverside, CA 92507

"I went here with my coworkers for the first time and was blown away by the fair prices, excellent service, and delicious pizza. One of my coworkers is vegan and they had an abundance of vegan options that I haven't seen anywhere else. At one point one of the pizzas was delayed, and the gentleman working there went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. He treated everyone who walked in like they were family. I will definitely be coming back here and highly recommend it to anyone in the area."

"This pizza place is just wonderful! Not pricey, absolutely pleasant service and most important for me, vegan options. The dine in is great. I really enjoyed the fantastic sense of humor in the wall decor and posters. Food is delicious! Located at University Village, it's a comfortable ten minute walk from UCR. Great place to stop for a delicious pizza and take in some shopping nearby! Highly recommend University Pizza Company!"

"I'm a 1st timer at this UPC location. I ordered 2 mediums by phone. When I arrived, there was no greeting or smile. I told him I had 2 mediums for a pick-up. He grabbed the pizzas and charged me. There was no thank you or goodbye. The pizza was just okay. They are skimpy on the toppings and the price is about $14.00 each for a 2 topping pizza. Lil Caesars have better prices & pizza."

"The really dope thing about having some local pizza spots is that it makes them highly competitive and that's very much shown in the ingredient quality, the cook, the sauce, and the actual assembly of the pizza components. While this isn't my favorite style of savory pie (thin crust reigns Supreme here), it's a wonderful example of a business being REALLY good at something simple. The Extreme Pepperoni Pizza is absolutely a choice for folks who don't have a palate that experiences flavor fatigue quickly. There are at least 3-4 pepperoni per bite, and it is a great quality pep that they've used here. It's not too greasy, not too spicy, easy to bite, quite flavorful, and easy to chew through. While not bad, the Sausage Bombs fell a little short for me. They do come with an accompanying sauce, but the meat inside could do with a strong pinch of salt. The dough and the amount of bread to meat and cheese ratio is almost perfect. Just a LITTLE bit more seasoning would take this to the top for me."
