Saying they have "beer and wine" is a bit understated.  Great selection...

I love me some Carmines!

I absolutely love Carmine's! It's a great place to get a slice or a whole pie. I really don't think you can get a better piece of pizza in the greater Riverside area.

I suppose it depends on taste.  For the record, I've only eaten at Carmine's 3 times (since Thursday    ), but I also love me some Moon River - they're two totally different pies.

And when it comes to delivery - 5-Star, without exception - and again - it's a different pie than the others.

I don't think I've ever had the pizza at Kosta's, but I hear good things from there, too.  Pele's, the restaurant, just hasn't impressed me yet, but I do like the pizzas he serves at RAM.

Moral of the story, you can't have enough variety.  Even with the 5 different pizza places named, they all are different.  It's also why I'm excited for MM to be opening.

Moon River is pretty good. I (obviously) prefer Carmine's. MM was forgettable to me, but that doesn't mean I won't give it another shot someday.

Once upon a time, Al's had a nice thin crust cheese pizza, but those days are gone. Pizza Palace was good before it opened up the location in 5 pts.

As someone who occasionally does copy-editing work, the "creative" spelling on the Carmine's staff T-shirts is like sand in my eye. The food is good, at least.

What's up with that? Why are the RAM pies 1000x better?

In the spirit of full disclosure, I haven't eaten at the restaurant since shortly after they opened (see the Pele's thread), so it may have gotten better.  But the reason(s) that I was given was that they still hadn't worked out the kinks in their ovens - too hot in some places, too cold in others, uneven cooking in general, etc...

He's had that trailer for a while and knows how to work it.
