I came here after a model UN conference and it was awful. granted they were serving a basketball team, but even after that, I had waited a solid hour and a half for my order. my friend got their order quick and got served undercooked potato wedges, not even bothering to eat them. after being just actually lied to (the waiter claimed they called my number and came out 4 times, I was sitting out in the wide open with my party and table number), and gritting my teeth because I was starving, I finally got my food. even if it was directly from the kitchen of god himself I would've been sour, but it wasn't. hell, I was served the most mediocre plate of fries, topped with a tiny slag of cheese and pepperoni, and dubbed "pizza fries". my other friend got fried mushrooms, and they came out grossly wet and unsettling to chew. not only that, but 21 dollars for this? to say nothing of not even offering free refills, it was an exercise in patience and just an overall completely underperformance. the guy at the register was nice though!

Ruben, at the pay counter was awesome. Very helpful, friendly, service oriented. He made our trip well worth it & we will come back again because of his great service. There was a long brown hair in my antipasto salad, oh well, hopefully not next

Love this spot but they really need to post current hours or if there is an event at least post it on the door to know why it's closed. States it closes at 10pm went at 9pm and doors were locked. Was really hoping to get a bite.

Love this place. Just moved to the area, and Gateway has quickly become one of my favorite places to watch a game and eat great pizza.

The owner is very friendly. When me and my friend went here, we didn't know what to expect. The owner is a great conversationist, he greeted us, and helped us out with drinks. 100% gonna come back here for some more drinks and food. They also have a small area for pool/ 8ball.

The cool thing about this place is that they can accommodate large groups for lunch and atmosphere is great you can talk really loud and no one's going to be bothered because the music loud already and you can have all ages come and the food is good and the same guy's been running a joint forever and he's super nice and I love the variety of the menu also. Chicken pizza is delish and I really enjoyed my tuna sandwich, great portions.

Went here for breakfast and was attracted due to great reviews... so happy we went here! EXCEPTIONAL experience. The owner was the hostess and due to the wait we were given blood mary's to sip on while waiting. Staff, food, experience was beyond amazing. Highly recommend. Location was also adorable in a little wooded area.

The food is great. The atmosphere depends on the students from UCR. It can be very quiet and calm or very crowded and loud.

Honestly one of the best places in Riverside for food. Their Pizza is amazing their buffalo chicken I loved. I tried a new one today called Irma's Pizza it had jalapeno pineapple, pepperoni,cheese white sauce, and garlic. I was a little skeptical on it but let me tell you it was one of the best pizza I've ever had.Wasn't able to snap a full picture of it because it was gone before I even knew it.Definitely a good place to eat and relax.
