A PIZZERIA worth visiting



Riverside Pizzeria is a favorite gathering place to meet friends and family. Family reunions, class reunions, and other special events—it's always the place to meet. Great food, fun nostalgic atmosphere, and good friends. That's what Riverside Pizzeria is all about.

Since 1946 Riverside Pizzeria has been greeting guests in Iron River Michigan. Riverside has been serving the same great pizza for over 75 years. The same way, at the same location—Now that's TRADITION!


A PIZZA Half baked


Half Baked Pizza from Riverside Pizzeria

Now you can stock up on your favorite Riverside pizzas. We will make your favorite pizzas, par-bake them, let them cool, put the cheese on and then freeze them for you. Take them home, and when the craving strikes, finish baking them. It's that easy. Sorry. We cannot ship pizzas.

The half baked pizzas are really popular (probably because they are sooooo good). But, it is hard to keep up with demand. So, half baked orders need to be placed 2 days prior to pickup day. For example, If you order on Monday they can be picked up after 3pm on Wednesday.

Then, take them home and finish baking. This is how:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  • Bake 10 - 15 minutes
  • Watch closely until done (oven temps vary)
  • Works great with a pizza stone
  • Enjoy with friends or family (or don't share—we won't tell)
