Riva's Margherita pizzas and tiramisu

How are these at Riva on Wilshire and 3rd, near the promenade?

Tried their pizza last week, a margherita and a Nizza (anchovy, caper etc.) and wished that they were better. It is more bready than I would like. The sauce tasted a bit too much like tomato paste for my palate. I greatly prefer Mozza and Antica. This place is closer to me but I don't expect to be going back. Service is uber-pretentious.

I didn't mind the crust myself, but the red sauce wasn't my favorite either. As to service I've only been once, but I didn't encounter any pretentious service - uber or otherwise.

I've had both. The Margherita pizza is indeed very good with a tangy sauce and a crispy crust, but you must also try the potato/rosemary pizza. The tiramisu was just OK. I've heard good things about the fritters so you might want to try those instead.

Someone else in our group wanted to try the potato rosemary pizza - I wasn't keen on the idea, but I ended up really enjoying it - good rec.
