Reviews
The service was excellent from start to finish. Our server explained how the Brazilian all-you-can-eat pizza concept worked, and they were attentive throughout the meal, asked if we were celebrating anything special and incorporated it into our visit, as well as always making sure we had what we needed.
We started with fresh bread, crisp Caesar salad, and cold water served in a carafe, which was a nice touch. The salad was simple but fresh with crunchy croutons and plenty of parmesan.
Then came the star of the show – the endless pizzas! They rotate through with different trays and offer you a slice right at the table. The variety was incredible: from traditional flavors like pepperoni, cheese, Hawaiian, and margherita, to more unique options like broccoli and corn, nachos pizza, and even loaded meat combinations. It was so fun to try things I normally wouldn’t think to order, and the quality was consistently good. The crust was baked perfectly, the toppings were fresh, and the flavors were bold.
Just when we thought we were too full, the dessert pizzas came out – and wow. The Nutella Com Morango, Banoffee (which has Brazilian dulce de leche), and Brigadeiro pizzas were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It’s not every day you get dessert on pizza, and it was surprisingly delicious.
Overall, Pizza-Rio is a must-visit in Pigeon Forge if you’re looking for something different from the usual. It’s all-you-can-eat, but with a classy and fun twist, and you truly get to try flavors you can’t find anywhere else. Between the excellent service, clean and modern atmosphere, and amazing food, I’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!
The appetizers were fantastic! I’m not a big wing fan, but gladly accepted them since they are offered. Best wings ever! I could’ve ate a whole plate full. Perfectly crisp skin, tender chicken, and amazingly flavorful sauce! Meatballs were great. Breads were fresh and delicious, though the flatbread was more like a cracker, it was so good! Salads were made with very fresh lettuces and greens, simply dressed and a great start to the meal.
Then we get to the pizza! Holy moly! Every single slice was delicious! Even the simple cheese was over-the-top good! Flavorful, creamy cheese, fresh toppings, quality meats, all fantastic. Loved the Portuguesa which had hard boiled eggs on it, very unusual, but it was actually ones of my favorites! There was also one with finely sliced chunks of ham that was delicious! The dessert pizzas were good, especially the banana. The others were alright, but didn’t wow us like the banana. I personally think the dessert pizzas could use a little improvement and more variety, but it’s certainly not going to stop me from returning!
Everything was timed well, and we felt we were given enough time to enjoy each offering before bringing out the next one.
My only real “complaint” is that the waitress (who took our order) wasn’t exceptionally friendly or attentive, but the rest of the waitstaff was very friendly and cheerful. Our drinks sat empty a couple times before being noticed by other members of the waitstaff. We werent really clear on how the waitstaff worked…If we were supposed to have just one or if they all worked together, because honestly, the lady who took our order didn’t really do much otherwise. Again, nothing that would prevent me from returning, I’d just hope for more attentive service as far as drink refills next time.
Overall, totally worthy of five stars!
