I been dying to come here forever as i love pizza rodizio, in Brazil pizza rodizio is the way to go. when i found out they had one, i was super excited and needed to come.
we called the spot and the rodizio starts at 6pm and lasts all the way till 10pm, that is too perfect, sadly they only have it going on twice a week, but i guess that is a start.
we made reservations for 7pm, i figured by then the pizza would already be going around and we would not have to wait too long, as i am a firm fan of come in and eat right away, i not a big fan of a la carte life.
the area where this restaurant is located can be very challenging for parking, we looked for a solid 30 minutes so when you come be prepared to be looking for parking for a little while.
this review will be a tale of a lot of love and bit of hate, so make sure to read the whole thing as the positives and the negatives will all be listed so everyone can be prepared for all of the possibilities when coming here.
we got in and noticed that the spot is a cozy and a rather small traditional looking pizzeria, not one of those larger restaurants with plenty of tables, keep in mind as this spot gets more popular there might be a bit of difficulty to find reservations as the location is small, i would tell u to be on the safe side and always make a reservation.
we took a sit and this very polite and cool lady came to greet us, she seemed to be the owner as she came to us and pointed out how all the rodizio worked and the BYOB option, even pointing us to the next door deli if we wanted to get some liquor, another great thing and very common in Brazil that they do here is the selling of 2L sodas for the table, and i though that was really neat. My first impression of her was pretty great.
the great thing about the rodizio here is the option on how you can go about it, i you never been before they will just make all pies and make sure you have them, if you been here before and already know what you like, they actually encourage you to just ask for the ones you rather taste, and i loved that option for my next visit and that is exactly what i will do next time i come here.
the HUGE negative for me was the fact that we got there already 7:30 and didn't get the first pizza on our plate until almost 8pm, and i was starving. to me that was the worse if the rodizio starts at 6... there should be no reason why there was not a single pie coming out. They explained that the restaurant likes to make the pizza very fresh so they usually try to wait for the groups to arrive and make sure to make the pizzas fresh for them, in my opinion i didn't mind to have a ok not so hot pizza as long as i got the thing going right away, but that is me. i am not a fan of waiting, but if to you waiting for a fresher pizza is not a big deal, then to you this situation would not be a problem as it was to me.
After the pizzas started to come out then life changed to me, the pizzas were great, the flavors were almost like the ones in Brazil, and the service was pretty amazing. they made sure to make all pies and made sure we had all flavors provided in the rodizio. we were pretty happy with the outcome. they even have some desert pizzas just like back home, they are a definite must!
the best flavors i my opinion were the 4 cheeses and the coconut beijinho pizza, i was not very big on the carne seca and the frango com catupiry (i think the cheese used was not very flavor rich), this is a great experience to have, so come on down and have some pizza!
overall, besides the initial rick-up with the delay on the pizza rodizio to start i could definitely overlook that, the pizzas were great, the price was amazing, the music was dancey, the people that comes to eat here are happy, the overall vibe was great. i will definitely come back not only for more pizza but i heard they have a friday pasta rodizio, so.... friday here i come!
