Cafe Rio Pizza in Beautiful Downtown Ruidoso<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You might think that a beautiful town whose very name translates from Spanish to “noisy” would be boisterous and braggadocious abut all there is to see and do in that town.\u00a0 Not so according to writer Tania Casselle<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Penning a piece for New Mexico Magazine<\/strong> <\/a>Tania contends that “Ruidoso flies under a lot of people\u2019s radar, even though regular vacationers are intensely loyal\u2014and probably don\u2019t want too many people to know about it<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether or not it truly it truly flies under a lot of people’s radar, Ruidoso is indeed an idyllic location, an enchanted mountain oasis of incomparable beauty.\u00a0 It’s an year-round mountain playground in which deer, elk, turkey, quail, bear and lots of Texans roam the golf courses and streets.\u00a0 Those are the qualities for which Ruidoso is known…at least by vacationers who probably don’t want too many people to know about it.\u00a0 What Ruidoso hasn’t been widely known for–at least until rather recently–is its culinary scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tzatziki with Fresh Foccacia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Denizens of the Land of Enchantment know the best green chile cheeseburgers in the universe can only be found within our state\u2019s borders. We esteem our green chile cheeseburgers with such high regard that our state\u2019s Department of Tourism promotes a trail<\/strong><\/a> listing purveyors who prepare them best. Most of us couldn\u2019t fathom of a burger without green chile, but the rest of the fruited plain isn\u2019t quite as lucky. For much of the country, bacon is the burger additive of choice.\u00a0 In 2018, Delish evaluated Yelp reviews and published a list of the \u201cBest Bacon Burger in Every State<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d New Mexico\u2019s best bacon burger, the \u201cSouthwest Burger\u201d comes from Hall of Flame Burgers<\/strong><\/a> in Ruidoso.\u00a0 Hall of Flame Burgers is on the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail so you\u2019ll certainly be able to improve the state\u2019s best bacon burger with the addition of our sacrosanct green chile.\u00a0 We tried to visit Hall of Flame, but arrived fifteen minutes after its 7PM closing time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Far & Wide contends that \u201ceven bad pizza is pretty good, but there are some pizzas that are much better than \u201cstill pretty good\u201d \u2013 they\u2019re out-of-this-world amazing<\/em>.\u201d Using TripAdvisor data of all the pizza joints for which reviewers were giving top marks\u2014accounting for overall ratings and the quality and quantity of reviews\u2013Far & Wide compiled a list of the best pizza in every state<\/strong><\/a>. The very best pizza in the Land of Enchantment, according to Far & Wide, comes from Caf\u00e9 Rio in Ruidoso. \u201cReviewers love: Watching the chefs toss the pizzas \u2014 and devouring the aptly named Kitchen Sink pizza, featuring pepperoni, Canadian bacon, salami, mushrooms, bell peppers, red onions, black olives, green olives, fresh jalapenos, green chile, Italian sausage, chopped beef brisket, andouille sausage, pineapple and anchovies<\/em>.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The “Meat” with Green Chile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though we missed out on enjoying the Southwest Burger at Hall of Flame, we were determined not to miss out on a pizza from Cafe Rio even if the Covid crisis changed the way we would experience it.\u00a0\u00a0 We called our order in at 1PM and were instructed to pick it up at 3PM.\u00a0 From what we’d heard and read, even under “old normal” circumstances, finding a seat would have been a challenge.\u00a0 Cafe Rio is a Lilliputian lair with sparse seating.\u00a0 Long waits for one of the few tables is pretty standard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cafe Rio is an institution in midtown Ruidoso where its deep Navy blue exterior has been a beacon for more than a quarter century.\u00a0 Its operating philosophy<\/strong><\/a> speaks volumes as to the reasons for its lightning growth.\u00a0 It’s a customer-centric philosophy which proudly declares: “We believe that you are our greatest asset and aim to provide the absolute best experience every time you visit. We pride ourselves on our excellent reputation among our followers and push ourselves to always meet and exceed those standards which you all have set for us over these last two-and-a-half decades<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Two Slices of “Meat”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Considering the diminutive dwelling in which Cafe Rio plies its pizza, you might be surprised to find a rather expansive menu: four starters, four items on the soup and salad menu and four sandwiches.\u00a0 Peruse those quickly.\u00a0 It’s the pizza menu that warrants your rapt attention.\u00a0 Avian appetites will be happy to see you can still get a single slice with as many as two toppings, but most of us will gravitate toward the specialty combinations (white or red), preferably in the “jumbo” sized option.\u00a0 The aforementioned “Kitchen Sink” is a best seller, but less adventurous diners might strip out anchovies and (or) pineapple.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Cafe Rio’s website, the restaurant serves “East Coast-style pizza,” a rather broad term which generally means fresh-made daily, from scratch crust that’s relatively thin and crispy with just a slight cornicione (an Italian term for the \u201clip\u201d or puffy outer edge of the pizza) and just a few high quality ingredients.\u00a0 Just as with burgers, there’s a finite number of ingredients with which you can top a pizza before it becomes a jumble of indiscernible flavors.\u00a0 Irrespective of that number, green chile still makes that pizza better.\u00a0 The Meat<\/strong><\/em> (pepperoni, Canadian bacon, salami, beef brisket, andouille sausage, and Italian sausage) with green chile is an amazing pizza even though it may defy the “East coast-style” template because of its sheer number of ingredients.\u00a0\u00a0 This carnivore’s delight certainly belongs in any conversation about New Mexico’s best pizza (though my money is still on Forghedaboudit<\/strong><\/a>).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

We weren’t quite as crazy about our starter as we were about the pizza.\u00a0 There were two strikes against the otherwise aptly named Tzatziki<\/strong><\/em> (cucumber, Greek yogurts and fresh chopped garlic served with fresh focaccia).\u00a0 First, it showcased cucumbers with large slices of the thickly cut fresh, crunchy vine plant instead of making them a complementary ingredient and vehicle for the yogurt and other seasonings.\u00a0 Cucumbers have very little flavor and typically need a lot of help.\u00a0 Second, the “fresh” focaccia had a day-old texture, perhaps by design.\u00a0 Soft focaccia wouldn’t have held up as well as the cucumbers, but would have had the tzatziki been more sauce- or dip-like. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

If indeed Ruidoso residents and vacationers would like to keep this enchanted paradise their own well-kept secret, visitors to Cafe Rio might just blow it for them. This is a pizza joint so good you’ll want to shout it from the rooftops.<\/span><\/p>\n
