My wife and I went about a week ago, towards 930pm, to get a pizza and some beers after work. When we got near the entrance we noticed a man sitting on a stool, taking to another man in a nice dress shirt. Their conversation wasn't too appropriate but I could get past it since it was late. Any way, we were asked to show our IDs, something we never had to do here. While we were showing our IDs we could hear loud music from inside, almost like we were entering a nightclub. Strange, thought we were going to a restaurant. When we did get in, the sign said to seat yourself which was fine since there was a DJ playing loud/awful music, while dancing like an idiot. After we found a seat in the dinning area, which was 75% full already, a waitress came over and RUDELY said "this section is closed!" and walked away. How was this possible when the dinning area was nearly full and the sign said to seat yourself? The bar area was full too. Both my wife and I were furious and walked out. The man whom was dressed nice, assuming the manager, just looked at us while we left and said nothing. NOBODY CARED!!!! We used to come here at least once or more a week and now we really don't want to go back. I had two growlers that I used to get filled with their beers too, but on how badly we were treated I think I'll use those growlers at Giant Eagle.

We first tried Rivertowne beer at the Taste of Two Towns at the Oakmont library. It was enough to make us try the restaurant. Very cool neighborhood joint. Nonsmoking dives are great. Late 20 -mid 30's yuppies intermix with native yinzers. Alcohol prices are spot on - several cider (gluten free) options. Rivertowne deals are the best (obviously). Happy hour is spot on, with discount apps and beers. Food is stellar pub grub. Coconut shrimp and artichoke dip is our favorite. We asked for tortilla chips instead of pita for the dip - just a smile and no upcharge. Lots of TV's, but they're not invasive. I typically hate sitting at the bar, but this one is comfy and expansive. My only gripe is it's not nearly as clean as it could be. Carnivores is much cleaner - but the food is better here. Also, there's no heater above the entrance, so sitting in the first seating area is an exercise in futility for 6 months out of the year.

Medium Piranna Pizza was perfect for a very hungry adult. The pumpkin beer on tap was better than most seasonals I've tried.

Jalapeño bites are amazing.... Been coming for years... Never been let down!! Good neighborhood bar... Good food... Decent prices... Occasionally old ladies hitting on dudes twenty years younger than them and looking a mess... But entertaining. Good Friday night pick

Great food and Amazing drinks! They changed around their menu again and took away the specialty mixed drinks : ( But they cab still make them. The fishbowl is fantastic and u cannot beat their long islands!!! Also the pizza selections are unique, peirogy and bbq are the best! The spinach artichoke dip with flat bread is my personal favorite.

The rivertowne in Verona is a pretty decent place. The bar setup is a bit awkward and the beer selection is primarily their own beers, which is ok by me. The food is very good though. Great pizza and some interesting selections not sonomous with bar food. Had a really tasty appetizer of jambalaya balls. Really tasty with just enough heat. Also had the southern grits and shrimp. The grits were very tasty for bar food and the blackened shrimp was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The only knock was the sausage in the dish. It was really a store bought ekrich farms kielbasa, or at least that is what it tasted like. Really could have used a fresh andouille instead. Would have really elevated the dish. They also have one of the only authentic scotch eggs in the city, second only to Pipers Pub.

The original Rivertowne location. Smaller than the others, but the same outstanding food and beers. A local neighborhood bar atmosphere, where other RT locations are more chain-like.

Like the previous reviewer stated this place is a total dive but the food is great! The place isn't the cleanest, the seats on the booths are cracking and the bathroom isn't the cleanest or most private either. There is a toilet and two urinals in the men's room but no walls. The urinals are right by the door so I suggest locking it before you pee or anyone who walks in will see your entire manhood. Service was fairly good. The drinks are great as well. We had the bacon cheddar ranch fries and Piranha Pizza. It has pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, salami, and cappicola. It's just as good as any pizza at Mineo's. They also have a ton of different beers, burgers, salads, soups, seafood, wings, wraps, subs, sandwiches, pasta, steaks and much much more. If you can get past their lack of cleanliness you will really like this place! Check out their website: myrivertowne.com

Rivertowne Inn has the best wings in Western PA. I'm not exaggerating. They are huge wings that are very juicy and delicious. Make sure you order the wings when you go. I also like the Western Burger, it's tasty and succulent. The waitress was attentive, enthusiastic, and helpful.

I have two words for you... Scotch Eggs. Hard boiled eggs, wrapped in ground sausage, and then deep-fried. Order these with any of the numerous beer selections and prepare for a delicious treat.

This is a good local bar. It's a bit of a dive, but it's got a good jukebox and the food is surprisingly good. The pizza is great and the other bar food is good. They have a great beer selection. I think over 200 beers. The crowd are all pretty much locals. Most are pretty welcoming. They try really hard here with some of the extra stuff they do; poker tournaments, djs, bands, etc. The rivertowne pour house in monroeville is the sister restaurant and it's good too, a little bit nicer. The bartenders for the most part are very good. This place gets really busy sometimes on the weekends. However, I tend to only go on Sundays and weekdays

New to the area. Have not been disappointed with the food yet. Pizza is great! Love the grilled chicken salads! My family raves about the steamed muscles. The prices are good and the waitresses are friendly. I won't hesitate to go back.....maybe even check out the DJ on Friday nights.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
