Rico's white with ricotta, spinach, and tomato is phenomenal. Highly recommend. The Works is also delicious, more earthy and meaty. The service is fast and friendly, and the vibe is chill. 5 stars.

As a recent employee if I could give this place a 0 I would. Was let go for complaining about dishes not being done. I worked as a driver but also did the dishes as well. When I came into work @ 4:00p.m the dishes were rarely started or completed from the previous shift. Owner didn't even have a dishwashing machine. No dishwasher on any shift. This on my opinion was a sanitation issue. Short staffed as well..Will never go back to this place. Owner not supportive as well.

This is the greatest pizza I have had since living in Florida and that’s coming from a die hard New Yorker. Bravo! I will definitely be back. Spinach tomato pie was to die for.

Sauntered out to the key outside Sarasota looking for a bite —- lots of pretty sophisticated restaurants around but found this absolutely fabulous pizza and Italian dishes. Felt like New York, great folks and down to earth atmosphere…..Got the full ‘Rico experience’ !

This place is tiny, but don't let that fool you. I had the meat lovers pizza and my wife had the white veggie pizza. Both were fantastic! The crust, flavor and slice size were all spot on. We ordered by the slice, which were $5 each. The pricing was on par for a tourist area. When we are back in the area, we will be back here for more!Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza
Super bomb pizza and calzones. (Don't forget the cookies.)

Absolutely disappointing place that stands out like a sore thumb at St. Armands for bad service. To manage expectations, you will stand in line for about 20 minutes while the cashier takes phone orders nonstop while you, a live customer, are standing there, in front of her. Then, once she gets a break, she will ask the person who came in after you what they would like to order. The staff is sarcastic and rude. Also, a woman near me had ordered food, was waiting for 30 minutes and they messed up her order somehow. Go to Venezia (or practically anywhere else) instead.

We’ve been to Florida for years, up and down the Gulf Coast. This is the BEST pizza we’ve had! Perfect sauce, perfect crust. The spinach dip was incredible too. Every thing appears to be made from scratch and it tastes like it. So damn good!
