When I used to live in S El Monte I loved going to this place, pizza feels so premium and the cheese is good. It's a chill spot but heads up go with some $$$ it's a small business that needs to survive. Especially here in California where a lot of them end up closing shop. Ordered online takeout and my order was ready as soon I walked in. Definitely want to try and come to watch a football game !! read more

Rio’s Pizza - So tasty I forgot to take a picture of the whole pie - Chicken Wings Near Me - South El Monte, California

Love getting Rio's. Been a fan of rio's when it was just the Montebello location. Definitely like that this location is so close to me so that I don't have to drive too to get my favorite pizza. I haven't sat inside in a while so not sure how the service is to dine in. Will update review when I do that again. read more

Rio’s Pizza - What's left of the family special Xl pizza - Chicken Wings Near Me - South El Monte, California

Pretty basic pizza. Solid choice to feed the entire family. We placed order online to pickup 30 minutes later. Got the medium for total-total (after fee's) of 24 bucks. Decent size actually, looks like pizza hut large. Heavy, so you'll fill up. They give a lot of pepperoni. Cheese is good amount, it's cooked a bit more than my liking. Bread is a little too doughy and too baked for my liking. I use extra marinara at home to dip. The hubby enjoyed the whole thing though. read more

Rio’s Pizza - Chicken Wings Near Me - South El Monte, California

When football season starts, there is only place to visit for great food and service, it's Rio's Pizza in South El Monte. We came in back on September 21st around 2pm to get that amazing pizza. It is the best pizza hands down how good it is. Our server was Sammuel V and he is always taking excellent care of us and providing great service. It can definitely fill up quick with tables watching the game so be advised. Plenty of tv's around and great energy. We ordered the XL pizza with pepperoni, mushroom and sausage and it is awesome everytime. Looking forward to returning back. read more

Rio's pizza, wings & salad always solid! Great customer service usually . Only down fall they close this location early. I believe 10pm. I've been a here a few times and the customer service has been A1. But not this time. The dude at the counter made us feel like he didn't want us to order. But we couldn't pass up the food. Place is always clean and spacious. Rio's always hits. read more

Rio's 's pizza is off the hook. This is the cheesiest bad ass bomb pizza in the neighborhood got awesome, hot wings and bomb spaghetti.& I Highly suggest. read more

This spot is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in the energy is always on point with great vibes, friendly staff, and owners who truly care about their guests. The pizza here is phenomenal. Perfectly crisp on the outside, chewy in the middle, and loaded with flavor in every bite. Easily some of the best I have had anywhere. What really sets this place apart are the wings. Their lemon pepper hot buffalo wings are without a doubt the best wings I have ever tasted in my life. They are addictive with the perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and savory with that lemon pepper kick that keeps you coming back for more. This is not just a place to eat, it is a place you look forward to visiting because you know the food will be top tier and the atmosphere welcoming. Every visit is consistently excellent. If you are craving pizza and wings done right, this place is a must. read more

Rios Pizza has quickly become one of my go-to spots, mainly because of their wings. They taste like they're baked instead of fried, so you still get that great flavor without all the extra grease, and the texture is on point. Either way, these are honestly some of the best wings I've had in a long time. The staff is very helpful and friendly every time I go in, which makes the experience even better. The place has a couple of big tvs to watch the games and they also have a small spot with arcade games for the kids. If you're a wing lover, Rios Pizza is definitely worth checking out. read more

This place has good pizza! What I didn't love was that I paid $35 for 1 large pizza with 3 toppings. I will definitely visit again but hopefully they have specials next time. read more

This place has the best pizza in the area. We got a small pepperoni and sausage, and it was crispy, cheesy, and flavorful without being greasy. The crust was soft on the inside, and the sausage actually had some spice to it. Super friendly service too. Definitely our new go-to spot. read more

Rio’s Pizza - Small pepperoni and sausage - Chicken Wings Near Me - South El Monte, California

Wow. Hidden gem in South El Monte. Please do not buy costco pizza. Just try this one and you will never go back. Crust edge is crispy and inside of it is juicy. Made it just perfect. Well, I am sold and I am a foodie. Service was great as they even apologized for food coming out late (but it wasnt). Clean and big place. I would come back here to watch a game or two with beer. Highly recommended. Please don't miss out. read more

The pizza sizes are huge! With that said, the food isn't the tastiest. I come here with my team to celebrate after our games. The chicken wings were kind of dry. Derives have always been great. Friendly staff. Good sports restaurant! Parking is on the smaller side with all the stores sharing parking. read more

My second time ordering Rio's Pizza for take out. The restaurant itself looks clean and spacious. The online ordering is super simple and the pizza is always hot and ready and on time. You can tell quality ingredients have been used. The crust is chewy with a good crisp. I usually skip the crust but I find myself eating Rio's Pizza crust ....so good! The cheese is super cheesy and tasty and the toppings are very generous! Honestly what made me want to write this review is how delicious the wings were! Cooked perfectly, meaty witha bit crisp. Today we got the BBQ and mango habanero. So GOOD! Can't wait to try the other flavors of wings,also want to try one of their specialty pizza next time. I do not live in the area, but when I find myself in S. El Monte I am sure to pick up Rio's! read more

Awesome pizza awesome service.. I couldn't ask for more! Every time I go I'm greeted with a smile.

My family and I love this pizzeria, they have amazing Hawaiian & supreme pizza. Never actually dined in as we always get it to go to watch the games but so far every time I order the quality is superb. read more

They have the best pizza and wings. Great play area for kids and the owner and staff are so nice!

One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time! This says a lot, I work for a pizza wholesale; we get free pizza from our customers all the time so I am a pizza connoisseur. The crust was thick but crunchy the sauce had a good taste and the cheese pulled nicely! This is by far better than the other Rio locations! Very nice staff, clean restrooms, plenty of parking. Will definitely be back again since we are just down the street off Rush. read more

Excellent Pizza .....Delicious food all around...potato wedges crisp & hot... enjoyable environment.

I really enjoyed the pizza here. Crust was great! They played pretty good music and were showing the Dodger's game on the big screen. The staff was really nice but we did feel a little rushed to leave. read more

We love Rios Pizza! We actually live closer to a certain Pizza Company in Hacienda Heights but would rather order pick up at Rio's in El Monte. The pizza crust is thick (not too thick) and crispy and soft. The cheese and sauce ratio is perfect. My husband really likes the toppings, he says they're really hearty. We love the wings too! They also have "happy hour" weekday specials from 4-7. We always order take-out and haven't had a chance to try it, but hopefully soon. Shout out to Sam, who is super friendly. You guys are doing a great job. We highly recommend Rio's! read more

The food is absolutely the best here, pizza and the lemon pepper wing are amazing, also must try is the potato wedges. The atmosphere is relaxed and people and service are great. They have most sports games during the seasons. read more

So glad they opened this spot in our little city. Have needed a pizza parlor like this one. They pizza is delicious and they offer all the favorite toppings us pizza lovers ask for. Besides having soda they have pitchers of beer at a reasonable price. The seating area is a nice size and can accommodate the couple who wants a quick bite, and up to a team size event for our local sports teams. Staff was friendly and quick to get us our food and drinks. Will be back. read more

Bomb pizza bomb wings. All the workers are very helpful and fast. Ambiance is good sports games and dj' on the weekend.

It takes me a lot to write a review!! I'm kinda disappointed in the customer service when it comes to this place, I've been coking here for many years and since moving I started the el monte rios but I've been to all 3. word of advice don't forget to check your pizza before leaving! especially during closing time. we called as soon as we realized we were charged for 4 toppings and only got one and they were closed, since we had to wait until the next day the girl said well, I'm sorry but a new pizza and we will put free toppings! we aren't positive you guys didn't eat the pizza! what were we supposed to do? I couldn't believe it! that hard up? given my ci them being closed we were starving? they should've just made us a new pizza! nope we had to buy a new pizza! what if we didn't have extra money to eat out two times in a week? we will not be going back it's to Pico Rivera TWO SALS on Beverly blvd from here on out. plus their pizza is just as good prob even a lil better and cheaper. you guys list a customer read more

It's not often that I come across good wings. Rio's Pizza has one of the best wings I've ever had. The buffalo and mango habanero had the perfect amount of sauce and the chicken were perfectly cooked. It was still yummy the day after! The meat lovers pizza also had a good ratio of meat, cheese, bread and crust. Even though the place was getting super busy while we were waiting for the order, the employees were very communicative and made sure everyone knew that their orders were on the way. I would definitely return to get more pizza and wings next time. read more

Delivery service is always on point! During Covid and the fires they call us as a courtesy which is super nice. The staff is super friendly and courteous I've never had a bad experience even when they are busy pre-Covid I never had a bad experience. Now let's get to the food. XL pepperoni pizza I'm a simple gal with simple toppings and the crust is crispy the way it should be yet fluffy. The texture is on point. The perfect amount of sauce to cheese ratio to where it's not overly greasy, which I like. They know how to make pizza. I'm not one to usually eat crust, but this pizza I will because it's that good! Wings are on point. They bring me back to the way wings should be made. Meaty and flavorful. I can't complain at all. Pizza and wings combo is a winner every Friday night in our house! This pizza definitely brings back memories of pizza from my childhood with every bite. They don't make pizza like this anymore. It's a community staple and it's a must. Highly recommended! If you get a chance tip $1 extra for each individual worker in there and they will be so happy you thought of them during this pandemic. read more

This is my first time coming to this location. I've been to the Montebello location numerous times so I'd thought to give it a try. The Pizza came out flaming HOT! The cheese was melting off the pizza along with the toppings. It was messy to eat, but good in a way. The crust was crunchy so that was good. The wings were a good size, Meaty. Service was ok. Dining room was loud and rowdy. read more
