"We had (what I thought) was a complicated order- we needed pizza for 5 people, one person had 3 allergies & one person had 1 allergy. The employee on the phone didn't make it seem complicated at all- they had alternatives for everything & knew where their allergens were exactly. It was slightly more expensive than where we typically get pizza but it was worth it.
The service was speedy & friendly- only 25 minutes on a Saturday night.
Will definitely be ordering again!"

We’re disappointed to share that several of our planters throughout Olde Riverside have been stolen.
This isn’t the first time, and unfortunately, it’s something we’ve dealt with across multiple seasons.
Our planters are more than just flowers. They play a big role in making our district feel welcoming, cared for, and vibrant for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.
A lot of time, effort, and resources go into maintaining them, and it truly shows.
If you happen to notice any suspicious activity around our planters, please consider reporting it to Windsor Police non-emergency at 519-258-6111.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to send us a DM or email us at info@olderiversidebia.com
