Okay, this place could use a lesson in New York efficiency if its going to call itself New York…read morestyle pizzeria. I waited in line for 20 minutes with just 5 people in front of me. Maybe its a Brazilian thing?Not sure, but there was no hustle in the staff. Partly to blame is the layout of the joint and how you order. You pay first before ordering your slices which is a little atypical, but then the cashier is in the middle of the joint instead of being up front where the line is. After paying you go back to where the line is and point out your slices. Confusion and chaos. This place is in the middle of a hipster bar area, Im sure it gets slammed at closing time. On to the pizza, Ill give props where they are due. The sause and toppings were okay- not bad. The crust on the other hand needs some work. It was soft and mushy instead of light and airy. Maybe they should hire a New York pizza consultant to give them some tips on running the place? I guess maybe they don't need to with the lack of competition in the area?

We were looking for a good place and not expensive to eat pizza. Vezpa is a small and simple place…read morebut very good pizza, and the price is fair. You can enjoy different kinds of pizza there

this restaurant is located at the food court of the mall BARRA SHOPPING in Rio de Janeiro this spot…read morehas a payment style that is different than the usual American style of paying for dining. parking for this restaurant is the parking for the mall that is a paid parking and they do not validate parking so if you come here you will pay to park your car at the mall, however with the exchange from dollar it is a pretty cheap parking deal. when you get here you will receive a little card that you will take to your table, this place is a flat fee of 50 reals to eat all you can and drink all you want. once you sit at your table you may give your drink orders and then they server will provide you with a plate, you can walk to the buffet and eat all and any items that are available. there is plenty to choose from, from salads and hot meals all the way to sushi. While you eat your buffet items, servers will come by with over 40 different flavors of pizza at a rodizio style. some of the pizza flavors are: - Portuguese -chicken and catupiry -shrimp -Canadian bacon, scallions and catupiry -4 cheeses -kit kat - coconut kisses -pineapple -brownie -pepperoni - plan cheese, and many other flavors. the best part of this rodizio is the fact that the pizzas are of super thin crust so you can nearly feel the crust and all the flavor come from the toppings, in my opinion this is the perfect pizza, you can taste the toppings all flavors and spices come alive and the crust does not spoil any of it. as you drink and eat servers will keep your drinks flowing and the pizzas coming. once you get a little full and stop eating the savory pizzas the sweet desert pizzas come out and eventually they ask you if you have any requests for flavors. once you are done you can just walk out to the register at the door of the restaurant to pay and you can go your merry way. tips are not required in Brazil as usually the tip is included on the price of the meal, however I do leave a tip anyhow since I worked at the hospitality industry for a long time and appreciate the good service that this spot has to offer. I will for sure talk about this spot and will visit again on my next trip to Rio.
