Pizza
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.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

For all the hours I spent shopping in this mall, I was stunned when I realized just how deep the restaurant actually went. And, to this day, despite living within comfortable shopping distance to Concord for 17 of my 24 years, I can only say I've been in that back section 2-3 times. I'm probably not the best person to talk to about that back area, but it's almost embarrassing how much I can tell you about the front area. I've probably tried about 8 different types of slices from Riviera, and have yet to be disappointed by a one. The California White and white with tomato and spinach are two favorites of my family, but I'll be honest, most of the time, I just pop in for a quick slice of plain or pepperoni. And, with those giant slices heated up in their massive ovens, served by some of the nicest folks in Wilmington, loaded up with crushed reds, oregano, and parm, I always leave smiling. The seating area at the front isn't too large, maybe enough space for 9-10 people total, but they have some seats out in the actual bulk of the mall, and you could always be an on-the-move muncher if you're continuing to shop (or window shop) while you eat. Sometimes, the pepperoni can be a little greasier than I like, but it's always crisp, with just the right thickness of crust (thin to normal). I just recently grabbed a jumbo pie to go for the family, and was shocked how it fed all 5 of us. That's value, as we normally have to nab a few between us all. Keep an eye out for specials. If you're fairly brave when it comes to germs, try some of the antipasto salad that's always sitting on the front counter while you wait to order your slice. Seriously, it's worth the potential flu you could get from someone else's fork. Just cross your fingers and hope no one double-dipped their fork.

Best kept secret. This place looks like a pizza shop but in the back is a full fledge Italian Restaurant. The food is amazing and well priced, the wine is awesome and not expensive either. Prime Rib! Yes, in a mall, and yes you must go!

Stopped in for a late lunch yesterday... The pizza was really good, although a little greasy so we had to blot it off... Also tried the bruschetta which was also good. Probably one of the better places to eat at the Concord Mall.

Best pizza in the Wilm, hands down.

Delish! I am a huge fan of there pizza(sausage) and they have a very friendly staff as well as live music on weekends. Love it!

Surprisingly good food given it's location (inside of a mall). Take out is available in the front; the dining room is nuzzled in the back. We were taken to our table and greeted promptly by our server. She seemed to be the only person on the floor that evening and did an amazing job keeping everyone's drinks full, taking orders and delivering them. I ordered my usual -- chicken parm. OMG nom nom nom nom. It was good. I finished the whole thing. It was served with a side of pasta. The kids in our party got pizza (of course) and loved it. Someone else got wings and pizza and loved it. Pricing for seven people was around $80 (including the ice teas and sodas we got), so ... not too shabby.

I am not one to hold a grudge. Yes, I have been back to this location a couple of times. My favorite texter no longer works there. I have experienced great customer service my last couple of visits. The pizza is very good. I love the vegetarian pizza.

Not sure what the deal is me an my friend ordered the steamed crabs (take-out) this summer were very small an not worth the price, they should have been FREE. But the cheesesteaks,hoagies,pizza an homemade soups are always DELICIOUS an the service is ok , me an several others frequent the café an nobody has ever been RUDE.SOooo give them a try just NO CRABS!

Great place to eat at the mall. Friendly staff. Been going there for 27 years! Love it. Nice bar in the back.

My family & I have been loyal patrons of Cafe Riviera since the early 90s. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Menu is wonderful, prices are reasonable and service is always great. I always order the same dish and in the 20+ years we've been coming to Cafe Riviera, the recipe hasn't changed. Delicious every time!

What a hidden gem... We not only love the pizza, salads , clams and spaghetti here. I wish I had known of the crabs and spaghetti deliverd to our home before what could be the last night. I was so surprised to get my dozen crabs ( there was more then 12) and almost 2 lbs of spags companied with an amazing salad with all the toppings including gardinara, chick peas, cucumbers and dressing. Then they added different flat bread and bread sticks..... I was expecting a small meal for one basically paying for the crabs. The crabs are not huge maybe med female but I will tell you they were so meaty and so sweet, the rest of the meal was amazing too. Not only is everyone so pleasant there when we go to lunch there.... That is how I found out about the crabs dinner..... There was so much food feeding our family of four for under $30 again delivered quickly to our door. I wish they had this special all summer long. I have posted on my fb about this and many people didn't know this special existed. I hope there is an email or something I can get on and spread the word of these amazing specials. Thanks again for an amazing meal tonight crabs and spaghetti I can't rave enough about!!!!

I went here with a couple co-workers one day. My friend picked it because it supposedly had the highest rating of any local restaurant on Trip Advisor.com . I found it to be fine, but nothing special. It's sort of a kitchy place with a family owned feel. But i don't really care about those sorts of things. "Was the food good?" That's what I care about. I got the fettucini alfredo, and my friends got the salmon and chicken parm, respectively. All three of us thought the food at Champps next door was better. My fettucini was a huge portion, but it tasted just like any ole fettucini alfredo in a jar you buy at the market. It wasn't bad, but I didn't understand why the great rating.

The pizza at this busy mall location pizzeria is okay if you're on the go and craving a slice; but the serious pizza connoisseur may want to keep searching. The service is friendly and prompt and when you realize the dining room is huge and runs deep from the front of the shop, you know it's a popular place with mall shoppers. The pizza itself however leaves much to be desired. I had two cheese slices for a late lunch; the pizza was just out of the over and there was no crowd keeping the staff preoccupied, so I doubt the quality, or lack thereof was a result of the kitchen being slammed. Pizza was hard to pull apart. I HATE to use the "it tasted like cardboard" cliche here but in this case, it applies. The pizza really had the consistency of greasy cardboard. Each slice had little pools of oil which I typically ignore, but even sopping it up with napkins and sprinkling a quarter inch of parmesan on top didn't seem to help. If you're in the mall and REALLY needed a slice of pizza, stop in but don't expect too much. If you really, REALLY want great pizza, I suggest you keep going and would point you in the direction of the pizza joint in Trolley Square, (see previous reviews).

I have eaten here a few times and it is generally a disaster. I ate there yesterday and received a double barrel of horrible service and bad food. I ordered the wedding soup. Not only was it room temperature, but it was ONLY broth and greens. No meatball, no pasta, nothing but broth and greens.......of course it took an act of god to get the waitress to return. She looked perplexed, and returned a minute later to say 'it has the other stuff but i just didnt mix it up before i poured your cup. do you want me to get you a new one?' Um, no. So my daughters ordered ravioli and meatball, and I had to cut the meatballs for them. Well, the centers were ice cold (and the exterior wasnt so hot either). All this combined with a waitress who never had her act together and was no where to be found. .....so I realize that I am eating in a shopping mall. The bar is set pretty low. But delivering the actual food you ordered at an appropriate temperature shouldn't be a problem. It was a problem, and the lethargic server didnt help.

First time there, was served partially cooked chicken franchaise that was pink and raw in the middle. Told waitress, said she would take it off the bill. Bill came, the entree was removed, but they tried to bill me separately for the salad when it was included in the entree. Would have been a two star review but the attempt at cheapness cost them another. Go to Enzo's down the road, better food for a few more dollars. And it is not in the mall.

Cafe Riviera makes, hands down, my favorite plain cheese pizza in the WORLD. My mom and I both swear by it, my dad thinks it's mediocre. Go figure. I don't think I have ever ordered anything except pizza here, because it is SO GOOD. When I have ordered toppings on it, it kinda throws off the flavor and the proportions of cheese:sauce, but for plain cheese pizza, Cafe Riviera CAN NOT BE BEAT. YEAH!

(This is a 4.5 star review.) Oh, The Riv. I want all of the haters to come out of the woodwork, and tell me better, BUT, and I will say this after hundreds of slices under my belt, THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA IN WILMINGTON. Please, message me and tell me a place that is better, because I have not found it. The Riv, does it right. New York style house made crust, fresh toppings, tomato pie, excellent staff, the shit. The only other places I've been to in Northern Delaware that can touch this place on a good day are Ciao in Trolley Square, or Margarita's in Newark. I have so much love for Riviera, because its my go to joint, and if I am not wolfing down a Chick-Fil-A sandwich while I am in Concord Mall, you know I am inhaling a few slabs of pie from the Riv. Maybe both? It's been done before. I love that this place has stood the stand of time. If you look back through the annals of history of the Concord Mall, many places have come and gone. Woolworths, adios. Jamesway (bet you didn't think I remembered that one), gone. Friendly's, moved on out. But the Riv, has stayed. And that is because it is delicious. This is a family run restaurant, and they are always running specials. I know they run movie nights for kids, and there is always some sort of Sunday brunch. I've had salads and sandwiches here and they are extremely tasty, but I always come back to the pizza, or the tomato pie (sometimes the one with big slices of moz on it). Crust on the pizza is almost always right on, and I especially love a reheated extra crispy slice. Sounds kind of wrong, but is totally right. When I roll on up to the counter, and I see that they have put out the sauteed red onions with peppers that have been drowned in olive oil, and parmesan to use as free toppings, suddenly my day becomes so much brighter. Damn, I am getting hungry. That's the only problem with these Yelp reviews, I should never write them if I haven't just had food. Anyway, go to the Riv, you'll be happy. I always am.

I know what you're going to say - and yes, it's in a mall. But this place makes some darn fine pasta! I can't say I've sampled the majority of the menu - it's huge. Of what I've tried, though, there are two dishes I will order again and again: the pasta alla vodka with italian sausage (I went with spaghetti), and the pasta alla broccoli, which is a garlicky, buttery, delicious sauce full of slivers of garlic - and of course broccoli (I usually get the cappellini with that). The pasta meals come with soup/salad and a delicious bread basket - try the pizzettes! And you can't beat the Monday night half-priced pasta deal! I'll let others comment on the pizza - for me, this is a delicious, comfortable, laid-back place where I know I can get delicious pasta quickly.

Cafe Riviera is an Italian restaurant in the Concord Mall that has both a lunch counter and booth seating. The food at the counter is very good (try the counter sandwiches). The Italian dishes vary, but are mostly pretty good. Service at the counter is pretty fast and efficient. While service in the sit-down area is usually good, it can be mixed.
