Rico's was so delicious! I came here with my family on a vacation and heard through word of mouth that it's the best pizza in town. And let me tell you—they were right! Not only was the food delicious, but the service was impeccable. Grace F. was our server and she went above and beyond while we were dining in. She gave us so many helpful recommendations for our vacation and made sure we had everything we needed. She checked on us several times and just made our experience...

I didn’t order pizza.

The second that Vesuvius hit the table, the room started vibrating like a subwoofer possessed by joy itself. Crust so crisp it could file taxes, yet so tender it could apologize for existing. Sauce that tastes like someone bottled the golden hour in Naples and spiked it with pure euphoria. Pepperoni curls...

My son advised me that he and his mom ate here Friday around 7:30. He ordered a chicken bbq pizza, but was given the chicken buffalo instead. It was replaced correctly, but then they were charged for a specialty pizza. It seems after messing up their order, that they should have provided a discount, not overcharged for their mistake.
