Super creative and delicious food - Edit
We had a hard time deciding but got the Good Foot pizza and the Whittier salad! Both were so good! Even my bf enjoyed the salad and he is not a salad fan normally. It had sweet potatoes and potatoes…which was different but amazing! The pizza was yummy but pretty garlicky…so you better be ok with that. Luckily the weather was nice so sitting outside wasn’t bad…but it would be nice if they had a indoor dining room otherwise.

SO good! - Edit
Just fantastic food! Loved everything I tried. Easily one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. The salad was delicious, and the dressing had me second guessing that they are even 100% vegan. Get the Herbivorous Butcher Korean BBQ Rib with the Riot Salad - you won’t regret it! 😋
Read morePros: 100% Vegan, Great quality food, Really delicious options
Cons: Take-out only

Delicious food, thoughtful staff - Edit
My boyfriend and I were both happy with our meal and the service we received here. I had a Sunflower while he had some Asian fusion tacos. Everything was delicious and satisfying. The staff were so helpful and efficient. This place is currently mobile order and pick-up only, but they set a table up for us outside when they saw us looking at the menu.

Best vegan pizza in NorCal - Edit
I have eaten here so many times in the last year of living here and I have never been disappointed. Let me start by saying that quality ingredients ALWAYS matter and you need to be okay with paying extra for that. This ain’t Little Caesars… This is a locally owned and operated pizzeria using organic, non gmo ingredients. Many of their meat substitutes are house made and their crust is 👌🏽. My personal favorites are the Shaka and the Korean Cholo, but I’ve never disliked anything from here. The cheesy pesto breadsticks are a game changer and if you’re feeling like treating yourself even more, try their non pizza menu items, including their desserts. ALL VEGAN! All amazing, all delicious.

Pros: Locally owned, Quality matters with organic, non-GMO ingredients, Melty cheese and fantastic flavor
Cons: Curbside pickup only, One size pizza option, Wish they offered more veggie packed pies

Amazing creative vegan pizza - Edit
Best pizza anywhere on the west coast! The sunflower is an incredible creation, a novelty in between a pizza and a calzone. That would be an attraction at any pizza restaurant, but the fact that pizza riot is 100% vegan makes this restaurant a wonderful find. The family who runs the place are also some of the most personable and kind restauranteurs I’ve ever met, and they went out of their way to make a genuine human connection with us. During a road trip, we drove significantly out of our way to Chico to eat here, and I am very glad we made that decision!
Read morePros: Very friendly personable owners, Fresh and healthy ingredients , Large menu selection

The BEST Vegan Pizza EVER - Edit
Pizza Riot really does have the best vegan pizza ever. nothing I've ever tried has beat it. they have amazing options, and even the more unconventional ones are still delicious, like their mac and cheese pizza!
Read moreThe owners are super sweet and I am so happy they took the chance of opening a restaurant at the very start of the pandemic to bring delicious vegan pizza to our Chico Vegan community. They are a bit on the expensive side, but ill do anything to support a local vegan business.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, creative options
Cons: expensive

Creative and Delicious! - Edit
We ordered spicy drumsticks and the Dirty Burger Sunflower pizza. It sure didn’t smell like a pizza (it smelled like a burger, HA!) I love trying unusual, creative things and this is one of them for sure! I only wish there were more sauce in the points of the “flower”, which were stuffed with ricotta (vegan, of course).
Read moreI can’t wait to try their Zapata!
They also had their first-ever vegan Special Sunday Brunch which we came back for: waffles with bacon, potatoes with gravy, waffles with berries, Aqua Fresca and Elotes!!! OMG! The line was loony and they made it into a mini-festival with booths various vendors and even a DJ! It was hot and they had some outdoor seating and the misters were pumpin! Everyone was in a great and eager mood and the staff again was wonderful! A one-person show! YEA PIZZA RIOT!!! Just make some much thicker, richer marinara and I’m there every night!
Pros: Awesome staff, super-creative pizzas, Special Sunday Brunch!
Cons: Wish Marinara was much thicker & richer!

All Vegan Pizzeria 👌👌👌👏 - Edit
Pleasantly surprised on how good their house made vegan cheeze is! Mostly everything is made from organic ingredients and if not, it’s at least non-gmo.
Read moreDecently priced considering other pizza places and good friendly service. Overall, this will be my main place for pizza whenever I’m in the area again.
Pros: All vegan menu , Mostly organic, if not the non-gmo
Cons: Could have more option for sizes of pizza , More options for veggie toppings

Wonderful Neapolitan-style all-vegan Pizza joint in Chico!!! - Edit
First all vegan restaurant in Chico, enough said. Their Neapolitan-style pizza cooked inside a self-built wood-fire oven is literally otherworldy. Plus they offer amazing calzones and sunflowers, a pizza/calzone hybrid. Best restaurant in Chico, period!
Read morePros: Wood-fired oven, Friendly staff, great value for the quality!
Cons: None
