What customers say?

“ In town from Arizona with a friend and we saw this Horror themed pizza parlor on instagram and had to stop in! The pizzas were delicious they had run out of jalapeños but did banana peppers instead which was good I feel it with the hot honey was too sweet but still incredible! And would love to try it how it normally comes or instead add goat cheese as we had the other pizza with goat cheese too and that was amazing! I’m a sucker for goat cheese! The sweet chili wings delicious with a hint of spice! I think with a little more spice they’d be even better! But would 100% come again! The staff was friendly, and made excellent recommendations! ”

“ Really well decorated and on theme! Everywhere you look, there was something to see. Multiple screens playing different horror movies. It's a super cool place! The service was great. First time being there and they offered to help with any questions. Everyone was very friendly. Unfortunately it is SMALL and pretty warm inside. The pizza was pretty good, but over cooked for my preference. Good amount of toppings though. The buffalo wings had good flavor with the perfect amount of spice. And the garlic Knotts were pretty tasty as well! Overall I would definitely return. ”

“ This was my first time coming here & this is probably the best pizza in Riverside. The gentleman that helped me out was super kind! He made sure I was able to get my personal pizza in a hurry. The pepperoni is soo good. I enjoyed everything about the pizza and the atmosphere. 10/10 customer service! Will be back soon. ”

“ Slasher Pizza is hands down one of the best pizza spots in Riverside and easily a standout in the Inland Empire. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is fun, edgy, and memorable — it’s not your typical cookie-cutter pizza shop. The horror-themed aesthetic gives it personality, but the real star is the food. The pizza is phenomenal. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and you can tell everything is made fresh. The toppings are generous and high quality, not skimpy like a lot of places. Every slice is packed with flavor. Whether you go classic or try one of their specialty pies, you really can’t miss. Service is just as impressive. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and clearly take pride in what they’re making. Orders come out fast and hot, and the whole place has a great local, community feel. If you’re in Riverside and love pizza, Slasher Pizza is a must-visit. Unique atmosphere, amazing flavors, and consistently great quality — this place absolutely kills it (in the best way). Highly recommend! ”

“ This is my favorite pizza of all time! The dough is absolute perfection! I even eat the crust! The ranch is bomb! I dip everything in it! We tried the new Five nights at freddys pizzas, the chorizo one and the brisket pizza were so good! I also highly recommend the chicken tiki masala! And the customer service is too tier! All of the servers were great! They smiled! Checked in on us! shout out to ISABELLA idk how she is able to be as up beat, positive and sweet! I was there for an hour and i could over hear her greeting all the costumers with the same awesome personality! All of the staff was awesome though! Koty made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal! And if you didnt know this is a horror themed pizza shop with so much memorabilia! ”

“ Came to this place as I love all things spooky and this place did not disappoint! The atmosphere was great; walls had a lot of horror movie memorabilia which was so cool to look at. It is a small restaurant but personally, I liked that although it might be hard to find seating inside during busy hours. They also had a claw machine which I’m a suck for. The place was super cool and the food was good too. We ordered two 10’ pizzas which were perfect sizes for personal pizzas. We tried the Beetlejuice Margarita pizza and the Supreme Scream! 10/10! Both of them were extremely delicious and hot! The veggies on the supreme scream tasted fresh too. We even got a complimentary order of buffalo wings that were just as good as the pizza (which was cool as it was our first time checking the place out and were scared to order the wings in case we got too full from the pizza). Overall, this place was great ”

“ I read the reviews and gave this place a chance. So i got the personalized pepperoni pizza. It tasted pretty good. The girl who helped me was really nice. I'd say 8/10. A little thin on crust but not disappointed. ”
