🍕🎬 WE’RE CLOSING EARLY TONIGHT! 🎬🍕

Every once in a while, you’ve gotta trade the pizza ovens for the BIG SCREEN. 😎

Tonight, Upriver Pizza & Upriver Food Truck will be closing at 8pm- so we can take our crew out for a little staff fun at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In! ❤️🍕

And when they’re playing TOP GUN + TOP GUN: MAVERICK back-to-back… well, we feel like this is basically mandatory staff training. 😂✈️🔥
Our crew works their tails off all summer, & we couldn’t think of a better excuse to shut the ovens down a little early, and enjoy a Northern Michigan summer night at the Cherry Bowl Drive In!!!
Then we’re officially OFF TO THE DANGER ZONE!!

Pizza early. Top Gun later.
Sounds like a pretty perfect Saturday night to us. 🍕✈️🎬

Andddddd if you’re going & purchased a ticket already -go ahead and show one of our ladies upfront and will give you a discount on your food today. See you there!!!

🎸🍕 LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT AT UPRIVER PIZZA! 🍕🎸

We know… judging by the new album cover, you’d think we were about to drop the hottest record of 2026 😂
But don’t be fooled.
We don’t play music.
We just make the pies. 🍕🤘
Luckily, we know people who actually have musical talent.

Tonight, 1 of our absolute favorites — The Simple Machines Band — is back for A Slice of Music!

🎶 THE SIMPLE MACHINES BAND
🕡 6:30–8:30 PM
🍺 $2 PBR Drafts
🍕 Pizza • Drinks • Live Music • Good People

Come grab a pie, pull up a seat, and let Simple Machines handle the music while we stick to what we do best.
Making dough. Slinging pies. Pretending we’re in a band. 🤘🍕🎸

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Upriver Pizza for partnering with the St. Clair Butterfly Foundation for a Give Back Day in June!

🥬 A little behind-the-scenes from Upriver Pizza!

You may have seen recent news about lettuce, so we wanted to show you something that’s been part of our routine ALL along. Every heart of romaine that comes through our kitchen is thoroughly washed before it’s used on our salads, sandwiches, and burgers.

We DO NOT buy pre-shredded OR bagged lettuce—we start with fresh whole hearts and take the time to clean them properly Every. Single. Day.

This isn’t a new practice; it’s simply how we’ve always done things. 💚💚

Your family’s health & safety are incredibly important to us, and we’re committed to serving fresh, delicious food with the care and attention it deserves.

Thanks for trusting us, and we’ll see you soon! ❤️🍕

Heyyy FRIENDS & FAMILY 🍕🍕🙌🏽🙌🏽

The extreme heat & smoky air have pushed our A/C beyond its limits. Our dining room is warmer than we’d like, so we recommend takeout tonight (and possibly tomorrow). 🔥🥵🍳

We’re working to have everything ice-cold and comfortable again by Friday (service day 😎)!!!!

Thanks for your patience and support! 🍕❤️

🪩🪩We will update further if we are planning on postponing live music this evening. 🪩🪩
