It's a bit thinner of a dough, more crunch then fluffy on the dough, but it is a delicious pie in it's own right. The crust was worth eating. That's saying something. The cheese on this perticular pizza, "the Royal Gorge" was really great. The flavor and texture with the meat is a great combo. The peppers weren't cut too thick either. A very good specialty pizza! This place is worth a visit. I will be a returning customer for sure. Thanks guys! A+ pizza!!

Drinks were great -- we tried both ciders and a mango margarita, and everything was well made. The only downside was the service. It was lunchtime and very busy, so some delay is understandable. However, it took about 20 minutes before we were acknowledged after being seated, which felt a bit long. Our drinks did run empty once, though the waiter was apologetic. We had heard great things about the meatballs from several locals and were disappointed they aren't available year-round. Instead, we ordered the tortellini pasta salad We sat on the balcony, which overlooks the river

It wasn't overly crowded but they had several pickup orders during our visit. We got a couple beers and a Greek salad and the 16" super pizza. Palisade peach beer was great. There was only one lady working the front of house by herself and she was efficient but a little frazzled. The salad was delicious! Crisp and tasty and the dressing was great! I was surprised, though, by how dirty the place was and to see the plastic Covid wall separators still in place between booths, but it stops pesky kids from staring at you over the neighboring backside. LOL! The shakers of salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese were greasy and covered in fingerprints. The napkin holder was gross. The floors could be cleaned better too. I guess off season means relaxed standards? Our pizza wasn't cooked enough in my opinion. The cheese was not fully melted and the bottom of the pie was soft and doughy and a little soggy. We asked for extra cheese and extra sausage but Kelsey only heard xtra sauce. It wasn't bad and the ingredients were good but it could have been better. The place appears to need a facelift and deep cleaning. Lots of wear and tear is obvious. This place needs some love.

If you've never had a Colorado "mountain pie," it's worth trying. The crust is thick around the edge and they actually make the dough with honey instead of sugar, which gives it a slightly sweet flavor. When you finish the pizza, you drizzle honey on the crust and eat it almost like a dessert -- something I had never seen before but it was really good. Food quality was great and the staff were friendly and quick. I'm vegetarian and had no issues ordering -- plenty of options and they're happy to accommodate meat-free orders. Overall just a really fun stop in Idaho Springs. Good food, a unique local pizza style, and a cool place to sit for a bit if you're passing through the mountains

If I can walk away without my anxiety being triggered or my allergies triggered, we have found a gem to return to. Driving from Colorado Springs through Salida, Co to the Sand Dunes, we decided to stop for a later lunch. We stopped by The Boathouse and was rather loud along with no four top outside. The host referred us to Pizza Rio and said they had outdoor seating and it's usually quieter. Heading up the stairs, customers coming down said it's worth it. The host showed us the tables outside and indeed was very quiet and had a beautiful view of the river. When we sat down, the heaters were still on but the server turned them off for us and opened the shade screen. My husband got the Greek salad with a slice of pepperoni pizza. My son got the vodka penne pasta, my mom got the meatball grinder and I got the Greek salad with arugula and spinach and the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything on the menu said it was made in house including the dressings. And WOW!!!! The flavor these dishes had was top notch Italian and dishes were decent/big sized. Cost wasn't as high as we thought, and the server was extremely accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through. Great job to the cooks, amazing!!! Great service by Connor L, we appreciate all you did with my accommodations and that you were attentive even though you were the only server. We did not feel forgotten about

The place was pretty busy, and they weren't ready for us despite us having made a reservation over 2 weeks ago. We waited about another 15 minutes for a table. A few of us tried their mocktails, which were actually very tasty. I recommend the apple flavored one. The pizza in calzones here are the standout. Nice crust on them and plenty of filling. Be aware of the calzone is pretty substantially sized so unless you eat big you could probably split that between two people with maybe a salad or app to supplement it. I love lasagna, and it is my acid test for any Italian restaurant. The lasagna here was very tasty, with a nice sweet sausage inside. But it was awesome very mushy. It could do with another way or to a pasta between the feelings and definitely more cheese on the inside instead of just on top. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was not a standout. I've actually enjoyed Costco frozen lasagna more.
