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!

After a long workday and a tiring 45 minutes commute from Burbank to South El Monte, I was looking…read moreforward to getting home and enjoying "The Works," my usual order from Big Brother Pizza. 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.

What a great find in the 626, especially when the closest restaurant that serves this style of…read moreVietnamese seafood is in Orange County, like OC Lau. This was a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese pub. It is a good and fun place for friends to catch up. It is also a good place for big groups. Menu items are not as much as OC Lau, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. We ordered the Grilled Bloody Clam w/ Green Onions, Scorched Rice Topped with Pork Floss, Thai Seafood Hot, and Grilled Garlic Butter/Pepper Escargot. The escargot and the blood clams were fun to eat. They both come out on sizzling plates. The escargots were chewy and garlicky, while the blood clams were juicy. Both were flavorful on their own, without the sauces. The Scorched Rice Topped with Pork Floss was crispy and crunchy. I loved the texture of it. There were also additional toppings on the rice, like Chinese sausages. The Thai seafood hotpot is not like the Vietnamese sour soup with catfish and tamarind, by the way. But it was still flavorful and perfect for a cold night. The staff were very hospitable and nice. They can provide recommendations of what to order if it is your first time. It was not on the menu, but they also offer soju.

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon around 5:00 and the businesses in the lot were mostly closed. There's elevator and stair below the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is reminiscent of karaoke bar with colorful lights and a stage. See below for our order and all items were nicely made aesthetically and tasted fulfilling. Our favorite was lemongrass clams, the onion/peanut scallops and grilled squid. Really reminded me of the Vietnamese phrase "an choi" which translates directly to "fun eating"...I imagined myself eating with my friends...slowly, enjoying each other's company and having several drinks while we eat and sing karaoke! Service was amazing and owner was very nice and accommodating. My only con of this place is the bathroom needs some TLC and some washing/cleaning. Aside from that we would not hesitate to visit again when we are in the area craving some Vietnamese seafood. #3 duck balut #10 garlic butter/pepper escargot #13 grilled scallops with green onions # 16 steamed baby clams with lemongrass #23 grilled squid #34 fried noodles with beef #55 chicken porridge

I will continue to sing the praises for Veggie Life!…read more Not often do you find a Vietnamese vegetarian place that feeds like you're visiting your grandma! Every time I come I leave feeling STUFFED. The amount you get for the price you pay is honestly so worth it. The quality of the food is also amazing! Took my future father in law (FFIL for short) here with my fiancé for lunch and they were so sweet to us. Made sure we sat in front of the AC as outside was over 100+ degrees! We tried to sit off to the side but was advised to sit in the middle where the AC was. I felt how hot the window was by the sides so I do appreciate them asking us to sit elsewhere! I decided to switch up what I normally get and tried something different. I got their lemongrass chicken rice which came with a side soup! omg. The amount of food I got was just too much. I barely made a dent and had to bring it home! But the food was 10/10! My fiancé got their vermicelli dish (needed in this hot weather!) and my FFIL got their pho. We also got a side order of their bi cuon, so good! Everyone was happy with they got! Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and the food is delicious! If you're in the area, come check it out!

My friends and I came here on a whim. We originally wanted to go to a cafe in the same plaza but…read moredecided to eat first and my friend point out this place. It's located in a small plaza so parking is limited. I thought it was takeout only so I was surprised that we were directed to sit down. The man who took our order was... quick and efficient. I say that because he'll just point at you and ask what you want and not go in a particular order. He didn't write down our order and repeated what we want before we finished talking. Hey, as long as the food is right, I'm not going to get mad at how the order was taken. The food didn't take long at all. I ordered curry and we were given a plate of veggies to add to our soups. I'm not a big fan of Vietnamese food but I absolutely loved the food here. The soups came in large bowls so it's something that's definitely shareable. I tried a bit of my friend's food and they were all so good. Especially the fish! It's probably the best fish I've ever had. At the end, we were given mung bean soup for dessert. It's not my favorite thing but it was tasty. I will be coming back for the fish!
