Cafe Rio Pizza

If you love thin crispy crust pizza this is the place to go. It’s probably the best pizza in southern New Mexico

Great pizza. Not just great for a tourist town, but great for anywhere. Nice crust. Great Cheeto sauce ratio. It’s a must stop every time I’m in Ruidoso.

Did ever keep up with a season of "American Idol"*?

One Bite everyone knows the rules. This place is the place to be good vibes, good tunes, very awesome customer service, and most importantly their Margherita Pizza was delicious one of the best I’ve had so far! I Highly recommend this place to El Presidente DAVID PORTNOY COME TO RUIDOSO!!!!!

The Prez MUST make the trip to Ruidoso for the official score. I’m confident he will agree. I last scored over 5 years ago and the quality is NYC level and touching New Haven level. Had a Beer across the street at The Lost Hiker and enjoyed a Gold Medal Slice. Check it out! You will not be disappointed!

Getting better. First time I tried this pizza I left a 7.5, but that was years ago and now I got to teybit fresh out of the oven. With out a doubt some of the best pizza I've ever had. 7-6-24

This is the best slice in Ruidoso. Good football pizza. A good 20 yard kick return to set up a scoring drive.

Crust ✔️ Cheese✔️ Sauce✔️

Great crust, great sauce. Not too oily. Fantastic pie.

No flop. There’s a reason there’s a line outside all the time. Great flavor. Green Chile and Pepperoni was awesome.

Sooo good! Nice crunch to the crust. Sauce had amazing flavor and you can tell they use quality ingredients. This place was packed and I can see why. I’ll be thinking about this pie for a while.

Great crust. Excellent sauce!

What a surprise in Ruidoso, NM. Drove by this place 6 times this weekend and there was a line out the door every time. Now I know why! The atmosphere is that of East Coast Pizza. Everyone was busy making pizzas and calzones. Flop was barely there, crust was crisp and flavorful. The sauce and cheese ratio was just right. Great Slice. Go see for yourself!

Excellent pizza. Crunchy despise the floppy look in the photo, not greasy. The cheese is spectacular and the sauce is homemade. The only thing keeping it from an 8 is that there isn’t enough sauce. Seems to be drizzled on top. Amazing pizza none the less. We will certainly be back. Highly recommend!
