Pizza Oven - Riverdale

Pizza Oven is exceptional. This place has been in business in this location since 1957 and when you walk in the store you will see it is true. Amazing pizza, awesome service!

Pizza and subs at an historic joint. Very friendly service.

What an adorable hidden gem on our drive from Richmond, VA to New Jersey. We had our kids and needed to get lunch and stretch our legs, took the first exit we could after bad traffic, and came across Pizza Oven. Unassuming, this place is like stepping back in time with its decor. The owner was so kind and had us sign the guest book and gave us a free calendar about DC. Pizza was good too! Cash only and our change included a $2 bill and a half dollar coin! We will save

Food time travel. Once upon a time, when I was a child, the best pizza was at Pizza Oven. When I married and moved into a home of my own, the local delicious pizza was at the nearby Pizza Oven. Now all those Pizza Ovens are gone and only one remains. It is as I remember, wonderful and timeless.

This has always been my favorite pizza on Earth, and the subs are the bomb too.There was a mini-chain of this restaurant in my home Richmond VA in the 60's and 70's. I worked in one as a kid. Some friends and I would make a 100+ miles-each-way road trip to this one in later years because we craved them so much. It was well worth it. Those thin-crust, rectangular large plain cheese pizzas are just the best I have ever had.
