La Riva Kosher Pizza & Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Branch

You have to know what to order here. The regular cheese pizza is slightly above average—too sweet in the cheese, too flat in the sauce. A 6.2/10: not something I’d seek out, but serviceable as a leftover. The marinara spaghetti is undersauced and forgettable.

The Ditalini Roma pasta, however, was a pleasant surprise. The sauce, with tomato bits, garlic, and a bright mix of spices, had a freshness and depth that felt almost out of place here. Not destination-worthy, but genuinely enjoyable.

Exactly how you lose customers and fail in the...

This place is TOP. The pizza was amazing, the fries were amazing and great options for moms not indulging in pizza! The salads were fresh (extremely rare in a pizza place) with great variety of toppings!

We also love the gnocchi pesto and the penne vodka. Portions were perfect and we leave super satisfied every time.

My kids could eat here...
