Our signature thin crust pizza that has become a legend among Rio Pizza Temple loyalists. Featuring a crispy, perfectly baked thin crust topped with savory ham, zesty pepperoni, creamy feta cheese, and spicy jalapeños. This off-menu favorite delivers the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors that keeps customers coming back for more.
The Rio Special is the pizza that put us on the map. Created as an off-menu item for our most loyal customers, word spread quickly about this unique combination of flavors. We start with our signature homemade thin crust dough, rolled to crispy perfection and topped with our fresh homemade sauce. Then comes the magic: quality ham, zesty pepperoni, creamy crumbled feta cheese, and sliced jalapeños for that perfect kick of heat.
What makes The Rio Special truly special is the balance of flavors. The saltiness of the ham and pepperoni pairs perfectly with the tangy feta, while the jalapeños add just the right amount of heat without overpowering the other ingredients. All this sits on our thin, crispy crust that provides the perfect crunch with every bite.
