I like the pizza
Wow did this place bring back memories. I used to live down the street and this was our go to pizza place, then we moved in 1994 to AZ. I was in town visiting and happened to see it was still open. Later that night I picked up two pizzas to share and you know when you remember the taste of something but then you have it - and realize you hyped it up? This was definitely not the case - this pizza is so damn good. Thin, crispy in the right areas, cheesy and just delish. Now I have my BG family turned on to this gem. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Great place
Love their pizza, their crust and dough is delicious!
If your new around the city of bell this is the spot for the pizza and submarine and all the rest of the food which include there salads and root beer soda.
It is the best pizza I have ever eaten! 3 generations have eaten at this place, and it is FABULOUS!

Love it here... been coming here since I was a kid in the 80s. After Sunday church I would go get a slice and a drink. Grew up on this delicious family owned pizza spot. Love the crew... they know me as the big guy who orders a large extra extra cheese pizza lol

Been coming here since 1996. Still good pizza. But the quality and taist of the just keeps getting more and more bland throughout the years.
Wish they brought the old recipe back prior to skimpflation.

If you ask anyone in my personal life what my favorite food is, they'll say Pizza.
With the exception of fish, It doesn't really matter the toppings. When it comes to pizza I don't discriminate.
I was in the area and I asked my friend to point us in the direction of any local pizza shops worth visiting and he brought up Rico's. He began to hype it up and dropped an interesting little tidbit regarding the Hawaiian pizza...
I'll get to that shortly.
We called in for pickup. The owner(?) picked up the phone and took our order. He told us the order would be ready in 45 minutes and gave us our total. $100,000. The price was outrageous. He was clearly joking and while I appreciate humor, Pizza is serious business and it should be treated as such.
45 minutes pass and we get the faithful call. Our food is ready. We jet to Ricco's and now it's time to feast. We got two pizzas. We got Ricco's Special and the Hawaiian special.
Ricco's Special:
It was topped with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Onions & Bell Peppers. We had the option to add Jalapeños and as much as I wanted to, I was the only one who wanted spicy so we opted out.
This was pretty good. It's exactly what you'd expect when you these toppings on any pizza. I approve and this would probably be my go-to if I lived closer. I'd get it with jalapeños next time.
The Hawaiian:
This had Ham, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple & Cherries.
You read that right. This pizza was topped with cherries.
This was the interesting tidbit I was talking about. In all of my pizza-eating career, l've never... EVER heard of cherries on a pizza but damnit, Ricco's did it.
Was it good? Of course it was.
If you're in the pineapples don't belong on pizza camp, you probably won't like this, but if your pallet is as refined as mine and you enjoy the sweet and the saltiness that comes with pineapple on a pizza, you'll enjoy what cherries bring to the table. They'll compliment the sweetness from the pineapple but it brings its own zing to the party. It's subtle enough that it isn't distracting but it'll definitely let you know it's there to play.
I give this pizza a solid 11/10 stars. I wish this was an option on a wider scale.
Overall I'd say my visit to Ricco's was a success. The staff was nice, the food was great and although I'm not a local, I'm willing to make the trip back soon.

Riccos pizza was different than other pizzas. Why change the same great pizza Bell residents have known for years. Bring back the original pizza we all knew.

Seemed like they have good customer fan fare. People kept coming and coming. The price was a bit pricey for me but it made up with the taste. Tastes more natural.
