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

It's always incredible service. And the vibe is so laid back but clean and inviting. You must eat here if you come through Salida.

Plenty of toppings, right amount of sauce and perfect crunch on the crust. We also shared a bowl of potato soup, soup of the day. Which came out pipping hot. Very clean and friendly staff.

We tried it for both brunch and dinner, and had a great experience for both. Service was good during both visits. Dinner had about a 40-minute wait, while brunch had no wait at all. Since it's located in a mountain town, the dress code is definitely casual--but I'd say this is one of those places where you could easily dress it up a little if you wanted to. The atmosphere is fun, modern, and relaxed, with a great location. Definitely worth checking out if you're in town!

I didn't even get to take a photo of the pretzel because I completely annihilated it. It was phenomenal. I came to my senses enough go photograph the sandwich, it was also amazingly good. I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general.
