Used to be 5 stars!! This was our absolute favorite pizza ? in Sarasota for YEARS! Mark and Ben are the best! We've known them a long time. Really great crust, sauce and cheese. But oh how things change. On our last visit, neither Mark nor Ben were there, we ordered a large cheese pizza, ate a couple slices before leaving with takeout and hubby had a beer. We think it was cooked twice...really. We also thought maybe it sat out to be used as slices for sale, and then cooked again when we ordered? No idea, but It was so dried out and hard we could hardly eat it. Really that bad. Almost $30 down the drain . Sad to say we probably won't be going there on our next visit to Sarasota. Total bummer. I miss the old Rico's!

I enjoyed my beer and mission impossible on FX. The pizza was thin and floppy.

Not authentic Rico’s. Just somehow copies the name, however the food is different and you can tell the quality difference. I love most GG restaurants but this one isn’t like the others.

We go there every Monday for a large pepperoni pizza and a couple of specialty root beers. Always a good meal and a good time. And for a treat, the owner Mark makes some delicious homemade cheese cakes. We also get their calzone and their pasta Alfredo penna with either shrimp or chicken, also a hit.

I was looking forward to trying the garlic knots and the white pizza (by the slice). The garlic knots were dripping in grease and the texture reminded me of donuts, and the white pizza was as hard as plywood. I also got the toasted ravioli and a slice of Sicilian pizza and they were good. I spent @ $25 and tipped (your staff is great!) and threw away the knots and white cardboard. I won’t be back.

"Mom, you’ve got to get Rico’s Pizza!" When I asked my teen what she wanted to eat, she texted me that she wanted pizza from Rico’s. Great reviews indicated their pizza was fantastic, and I can confirm that the reviews were spot on. The pizza was very delicious! I waited a while for it due to high demand, but it was worth it. A bit pricey for pizza, but definitely worth it! We definitely paid for quality.
Great pizza and service by Goose. so would definitely recommend. Riley’s cheesecake was incredible too!

Ordered a large pizza with ricotta ham meatball. Looked like who ever made it never slapped a pie before. All the meat was piled directly in the center of the pie and it was lop sided. A bit disappointed. Then I called and the girl that answered the phone was not helpful. 3/22/22 10:30pm
6/4/24 10pm. In addition. Just received this tonight. Couldn’t finish it is so greasy.
