I'm really hoping this was just bad luck and timing. The Sicilian Pizza we just ordered tasted like a stale, dirty oven caked in grease. We couldn't even get past the first bite. It was that bad! The cheese wasn't melted, yet the pizza must have been hot at some point in time because the crust was cooked. But the pizza was barely warm when it arrived. The only reason this didn't get a single star was because the wings were good. I'm kinda shocked given other reviews. Sorry Rico's, that was perhaps the worst pizza I've ever had. For over $70 after tip for 1 salad, 1 order of wings and a Pizza, we hoped for better. I'll consider changing the review or removing it if there's a way for you to change our mind.

I liked the pizza. The menu lacks vegetarian calzones, but the pizza itself is delicious.

Rico’s has the best pizza in town, and the best prices in St. Armand’s circle.

Great authentic pizza located at St. Armands Circle. Right near Lido beach, so we stopped here after the day of beach fun to grab a pizza, and we weren't disappointed! Friendly folks work here. They do have outdoor seating, to go and restrooms on site.

Such a gem of a place on St. Armand’s! We went for a quick bite after a shop owner a few doors down recommended it. So glad we went! Has a cute local vibe inside and the person making pizzas was clearly from the NY/NJ area who knows his pizza. It was amazing! My husband had a Stromboli that was equally amazing. Definitely give them a try!

We went during a less busy time. The pizza was remarkably good, beautifully prepared and on par with the best gourmet pizzas I've ever had at much more expensive places. The lunch special is a great deal, the pizza twirling is fun to watch, and the workers smiled and we chatted pleasantly. It's not big but the atmosphere is great. Would definitely recommend

Stopped in here for a quick bite while walking around the circle. We had a regular cheese slice, Sicilian slice and Buffalo chicken slice. It was some of the best pizza I’ve had around Sarasota. Definitely reminded me of pizza back home in New York. I’m surprised their ratings aren’t higher. I would definitely return here!

Awful service and horrible food. Salad was filled with wilted and brown lettuce. Manager told me that it was fresh lettuce and that’s how lettuce should be - brown and red. The manager told me his name was “Sal” and was very rude. I’m quite positive his name is not Sal. Very sad that customer service has come to this.
