Favorite Pizza Rodizio

Posted by Rachel No Comments
Aug 5 2009

Churrascarias (steakhouses) are very popular in Brazil, especially rodízios, which are all you can eat, when the waiters bring all kinds of different cuts of meat. But not as many people know that there are other types of rodízio restaurants, including Chinese food, sushi, appetizers, beer, crepes, and pizza.

So for today’s interactive feature, the question is: What’s your favorite pizza rodízio in Brazil? [or Brazilian-style pizza rodízio in another country]

My favorite is Deck, a somewhat non-descript restaurant overlooking the water in Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro. They have fast, excellent service, and absolutely delicious pizza with interesting toppings, like shrimp, hot dogs, Strogonoff, and bacon. They also have great dessert pizzas, including strawberries and chocolate, white chocolate, caramelized bananas, and brigadeiro.
