If you are looking for a normal pizza joint, this is not the place for you. What they offer here is more rustic and almost gourmet. With that said, I can’t say enough about our waitress. She was amazing and very attentive. The menu is very basic mainly salad, salads, and pizza with a few appetizers. Nothing wrong with that. The pizza we ordered was delicious (see photos), Even though they forgot the marinated artichoke hearts. The taste was still the rustic pizza I came here for. They added balsamic glaze which made the flavors pop. Our desserts were very flavorful (see photos). The atmosphere here is understated and comfortable. We will definitely be back and I will definitely bring others to try this quaint little place. They have a lunch menu. They also offer beer and wine. You can also pop next-door for a great cup of coffee afterwards. You’ll see from the photos that the restaurant does not have a sign up so don’t get confused and if you can’t find parking in front, there’s parking and back. I think you will Enjoy this interesting twist on a pizza place.

Loved everything about this place. We got there and it was a tiny wait because it’s is a bit on the smaller side even though the building itself if very spacious, but the wait was maybe 15min…not too long at all before they sat us down. I’m not even sure how I didn’t get a picture of the pizza but it was amazing. We got one pepperoni and one sausage pesto both were so delicious but I think the pepperoni definitely wins. The salad also had so much flavor and a great balance of ingredients. For appetizer we had the fried olives which might sound odd at first but honestly was surprised with how much we liked them. It comes with a garlic aioli which had a bit of a mayo flavor…probably the only thing I wasn’t crazy about but still yummy, I’d recommend the dill ranch with the fried olives instead. You can tell everyone here genuinely cares about the food and service they provide, a must try! Oh and they have craft beers too!

We were excited to try this new location after seeing the great photos online. The restaurant itself is beautiful, very modern and clean and the truffle pizza was absolutely delicious.
Unfortunately, the overall experience wasn’t great. We ordered two pizzas and waited over 45 minutes for the first to arrive, then another 10 minutes for the second. The restaurant was nearly empty, when we first arrived so the long wait was surprising. We asked about our order and were told the kitchen was backed up, but it would have been nice if the staff had been more proactive in communicating that, especially since we had two children under two with us. Even a small gesture like a quick update or offering drinks while we waited would have gone a long way.
The biggest issue was finding a bristle from the cleaning brush baked into our second pizza. At first we thought it was a hair, but the waitress confirmed it was from the oven brush. No offer to replace the pizza though. That was disappointing, and honestly concerning.
Overall, the space is nice and the truffle pizza stood out, but the long wait times, lack of communication, and especially the food safety issue made this a 2-star experience for us.

Pizza and the fried olives were delicious. The Caesar Salad dressing is excellent. Parking is not easy and the location does not fit the restaurant. The prices were reasonable. I would recommend trying this place.

I used to live here but travel out here quite a few times a year and it’s always fun trying new things I see pop open. This place is amazing! The people are real kind and attentive (not in an annoying way). The wine and pizza I had were amazing. My husband also had the charcuterie and a beer and both were phenomenal. The atmosphere was very peaceful and the music playlist made sense for it (a mix of old and new). I sat by the window and the waitress was very nice and scooted another small table for us. The restrooms were clean. All in all I’d wait an hour for my
food and be ok because I just liked being there and eating their amazing food. Best pizza I’ve ever had hands down.

Great lunch at The Outpost in Riverside. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The service was friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. It’s a great local spot to sit and enjoy a good meal.

Food was good! Loved the Caesar Outpost Salad. Highly recommend their house made ranch!! The crusted parm topper is so good! We also ordered the Margherita Pizza. Super yum and flavorful. Also has a nice little spice kick that adds to the flavor service was also very attentive and looked out to make sure we has a great experience. All the plates clean

Found this place on Google yesterday after work and was happy to find a new Italian place open up locally in Riverside. Definitely a nice place to eat after work or go out for date night. Appreciate that they have a pastry chef who makes fresh desserts everyday. The pizzas were so good (especially the crust). Got the Margarita and Truffle Pizza with Honey which were both bomb. Also enjoyed our server who was helping in making our food/wine/dessert selections and was checking in on us the whole time. Would definitely come here again. ❤️

This was our first time trying the Outost and we will definetly be back. We started with the bruschetta. The baguette was lightly toasted and perfectly seasoned. The bruschetta tasted so light and fresh. That was my son’s favorite item. The salad dressing on the salad also tasted delicious. The wood fired pizza had an amazing sauce. We got the dessert flight and liked the peanut butter one the best.

We stumbled upon this spot by accident — and let me tell you, it’s truly a hidden gem. The space is vibrant, spotless, and beautifully decorated, creating such a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for pizza and wine, this is absolutely the place to go.
I originally walked in just to check it out, but there was no way I was leaving without trying a pizza. Although we didn’t dine in this time, we ordered the Casa Tra I Rami pizza to go — and wow! It completely exceeded expectations.
I also had a brief conversation with the chef, and it was such a genuine interaction. You can truly see the passion and drive she puts into creating what I’d call edible art.
We’ll definitely be back soon to enjoy the full dine-in experience!
