I've been to Uncle Rico's a few times now, and the pizza is consistently delicious. The crust is perfect, and they're generous with the toppings. I especially love the pepperoni! The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. My only real complaint is the lack of seating. It's a small place, which is fine, but it would be great to have a few more tables to enjoy the food right there instead of having to take it to go every time. Definitely a go-to spot for takeout, though.

Uncle Rico’s is our favorite pizza in the area. Their food is consistently great, and their delivery times usually are faster than their prediction (unless you request a specific time). Their wings are meaty and huge, their pizza has snappy dough/crust (I’m a downstater and am pretty specific about how I like my pizza lol), and the ratio of ingredients is always perfect. We love this place!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve ordered from Uncle Rico’s before and the food has always been pretty good. But tonight’s delivery experience was a major letdown and honestly made me question whether we will order from them again. We placed an order using our usual account, which already has our correct address saved. Over an hour passed with no delivery, so I called to check in. The person who answered was polite and said the driver had been trying to reach us because he could not find our address or that no one was answering the door. I checked our saved address in the app and it was absolutely correct. Shortly after that, the delivery driver arrived. I asked if the food was still warm and he said it was. Then as he turned to leave, I heard him mutter under his breath that the address had been wrong. I told him that it was not, and he immediately shoved the receipt in my face and demanded that I look at it. Sure enough, the printed address on his copy was incorrect. He continued to be rude, and I will admit I lost my cool. I later sent him a screenshot of my correct address from the app to make the point. There were a couple missed calls on my phone but no voicemail. If the address really was wrong, better communication on his part would have made a huge difference. This was a frustrating experience that could have been handled much more professionally. I am not sure if the issue came from the restaurant or the delivery system, but blaming the customer when we have ordered before and clearly have the right address in the system is not acceptable. If you are planning to order from Uncle Rico’s, I strongly recommend calling to confirm your address just in case. Or better yet, stick with pickup. That has always gone smoothly for us. But I will not be using delivery from them again after this.

Nice slice joint 🍕🍕
They've got a grab and go menu with premade cold sammies for those in a hurry. Not that the 2 minutes it took for them to heat my slice was a long time, it wasn't. Friendly staff.
Grabbed a slice of margarita. Price was a bit steep. Whoever spun the pie did a great job making the dough really thin. Lots of sauce, not stingy with the fresh moz. Good portion on the slice too. Flavor was the only thing, just didn't hit home. Nothing wrong with the slice, just personal preference.
They've got a slammin $5 for a small pizza deal. Catch is that it's from 1-4pm. Next time 🤤

Very unsanitary worker...Gentleman behind the counter was making food with his long hair and grey beard without a hat or net.

Vegan pizza on their website versus the vegan pizza we paid $15.65 for. Truly disappointed at the few piece of cheese we received, felt more like a tomato pizza.

As a person who dislikes pizza crust, this place is my dream. There’s a small amount of crust with a lot of cheese and the right amount of sauce. Good flavor and very thin dough. I’ve never been disappointed with my order from here.

Delicious pizza. Saw the sign for a small 10" pie for $5. It was enough for a light lunch for my wife and I.

Uncle Rico's has the best pizza and wings around. Pizza is delicious NY Style that we love. The wings are amazing with their lightly breaded outside and really moist inside. The sauce is also just perfect.
This pizza literally saved our dogs life when she was fighting through the awful Dog Virus that was going around. She wouldn't eat a thing, even freshly cooked chicken breast while she was fighting for her life. Things were looking very grim last New Years. We decided to order out because we were occupied treating our dog and trying to get her to eat basically anything. We picked up a Large Pizza from Uncle Rico's, and our girl Lily Mae took her first full bite of food in 2 days. She picked at the pizza crust after refusing absolutely everything else. She slowly started eating more and more and made a full recovery.
Thanks Uncle Rico's for your amazing food and for giving our dog many extra years in her life.
