From walking into the restaurant to leaving, it was a most excellent dining experience. We've never had pizza prepared this way and the rodizio style dine-in experience was phenomenal! 🔥 The location feels like it could be used for a nice reception venue or something. The flavor of pizza and salads were on point. You will not be disappointed and if you leave hungry, that's on you! 10/10

I was looking for a local restaurant with quality food in Pigeon Forge but it was impossible to find one until Pizza-Rio popped up. Based on the reviews, we decided to try and I was extremely surprised. The atmosphere and music are great, perfect for families and date nights. The food is delicious and authentic. The menu is pretty much a full-course dining experience. You get some appetizers, try all kids of pizza, and have sweet pizza for desert. The strawberry and Nutella one would blow your mind! My main concerned was being a vegetarian, but after I mentioned to the staff about my dietary restriction, they kindly brought me so many vegetarian options. The service is one of the best I’ve ever had and all the waiters made sure that we were happy and satisfied. I highly recommend Pizza-Rio if you’re around Pigeon Forge.

Been wanting to try this place. In essence it’s an all you can eat. However more like the Brazilian steak houses but with pizza, wings and other things. They offer a wide variety of pizzas. The only downside is if you have picky kids like mine cheese don’t com around as much as you’d like. Be sure and save some room for dessert pizza. They have some with Nutella, banana pudding, coconut and some others.
