So tasty I forgot to take a picture of the whole pie
Angel V.

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 !!

What's left of the family special Xl pizza

Came in today to celebrate my birthday here service and pizza was top flight bomb not stingy on the toppings my family enjoyed the family special which included pizza wedges and a 2l . Got a side order of wings top flight. The bald homie with the chain gave more than excellent service to me and my family assured that everything was great give that man a raise .

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.

Small pepperoni and sausage
Cynthia V.

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.

Pepperoni Pizza!!

Best Pizza in the San Gabriel Valley! This is an update on my previous post. I finally went in today to Rio's Pizza South El Monte and let me tell you it did not disappoint! Pamela was so nice it was a pleasure meeting her and her daughter Paloma! Mozzarella sticks were bomb! Pizza was DELICIOUS!!! Let me tell you they are generous on the toppings the crust was delicious too! My kid pulled a slices off and said "Mom it looks like the commercials with the cheese!" We had the pepperoni pizza two slices in and we were stuffed!! Skip Domino's and instead order from Rio's! They even have a DJ on Sunday afternoons.! Don't sleep on this place go and try it. Oh and Pamela you were right! No heartburn! I'm sold!

I had tried "The Godfather" before and didn't care for it because it is kind of dry compare with other, so I was certain about what I ordered. The guy who answered the phone sounded aggressive, not friendly, but I placed my order anyway. I wish I had checked the box before leaving. When I finally got home, I discovered I had been given "The Godfather." When I called, the same guy immediately insisted I had ordered it. Being blamed without feeling heard made an already exhausting day more frustrating. I explained that I lived about 30 minutes away and simply didn't have the energy for another 30 minutes of driving. He repeatedly said he would replace the pizza only if I brought it back. I wasn't asking for a free meal. I hoped for a little patience and understanding from a business I had enjoyed supporting. Just being heard and receiving a sincere apology would have meant a lot. He eventually offered a quick "I'm sorry" before I hung up, but by then, I felt dismissed. Their pizza is good, which makes this disappointing. I understand that mistakes happen, but a little kindness goes a long way, specially when someone is worn out and just trying to bring dinner home. Sadly, this experience has made me decide to take my business elsewhere.

Adam was approachable and exceptionally polite. Hands down a one of a kind business. Highly recommend! Ample street parking and atm friendly.

It was the massive wood-fired brick oven sitting inside what looked like a taco trailer. I actually had to do a double take. It felt like someone had folded an authentic Italian pizzeria into a food trailer using some sort of pizza wizardry. I visited on one of those 99°F days when the pavement feels personally offended by your existence. Watching Adam work next to that blazing oven made me sweat out of pure sympathy. Whoever is making those pizzas deserves a standing ovation... and probably unlimited lemonade. I ordered one of their best sellers, the **Debby's**, loaded with tomato sauce, fresh basil, mozzarella, sausage, and mushrooms. Then came the first bite. You know those moments when your brain quietly whispers, *"Yep... this is the one."* That happened. The crust was everything I want in a wood-fired pizza. Crisp on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, with just enough stretch to make every slice fight back before letting go. That's the kind of resistance I'm happy to deal with. The tomato sauce tasted bright and fresh, with that lively acidity that says, "I met a tomato recently," instead of, "I've been living in a can since 2001." The mozzarella melted into every bite without stealing the spotlight. The mushrooms were juicy, the sausage had just the right amount of seasoning, and the basil tied everything together like the final note in a great song. What surprised me most wasn't that the pizza was good. It was *where* I found it. I never expected to discover pizza that reminded me of a great New York pizzeria right here in Hacienda Heights. For the longest time, I figured I'd have to drive to Los Angeles or Pasadena whenever a serious pizza craving hit. Looks like my gas tank just got a well-deserved break. Adamz Pizza Stop has officially earned a permanent spot on my pizza rotation. Sometimes the best slices aren't hiding in fancy restaurants. Sometimes they're coming out of a giant brick oven tucked inside a humble trailer, quietly making some of the best pizza in town.

We arrived when they opened at 5p and sat in one of their communal tables. It was a hot day and the AC wasn't up to the challenge. With the oven, the crowd and weather, it was rather warm inside. However, I guess it replicated an authentic dining experience in Italy. The restaurant became packed shortly afterwards and the conversations and laughter echoed vibrantly. It felt like we were in Italy. Our server, Alfred, was a pro and a delight. He took care of us without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. We tried many pizzas, salads and pastas. Everything was delish. What really caught my eye was the ribeye steak, which we didn't try. It's a monster ribeye at a very reasonable price. It looked amazing. I have no doubt I will be scarfing down one of those in the near future. I highly recommend a visit if you haven't been. Go hungry and know the portions are generous.
