I wanted to send a shout out to the owner of Riviera Pizza on Wyandotte Street East, Peter.

My 7 year-old daughter and I stopped in for a small take-out snack last night. While we were waiting she was asking me questions about how chef's make pizza - particularly how they throw the dough in the air.

Peter must of overheard her curiosity and invited her into the kitchen as he was about to make himself a pizza for dinner.

I watched from the bar with a smile on my face as he showed her the process from start to finish. He let her touch the dough, taste the cheese, and even feel the heat of the oven from a distance.

We live in LaSalle and were in Riverside for baseball, so we had never been to this establishment before but I must say, if this is how Peter treats his customers then he deserves recognition and community support.

You made my daughter's night and she couldn't wait to share the experience with her older brothers. She practically bounded out of your restaurant with happiness.

So, thank you Peter and Riviera pizza! We won't be able to order often but we will order whenever we can. Kudos to you!
