Description

We are the original Rico's in Sarasota, Fl (the Rico's that Rico built) and we love making pizza! We are located just south of Stickney Pt. Rd. (South bridge to Siesta Key) we have a small dining room, we offer our full menu for take out and delivery. We make our own dough, grate and blend our own mozzarella cheeses. We use Roma foods out of Piscataway, New Jersey. Roma is an Italian and pizza exclusive high quality food provider. We are solely owned by me, Mark Riley and my kids Brandon, Madeline, Michael & Robert Riley. My youngest son Robert and I are there almost everyday. I do have a great staff that does allow us a day off on occasion. I have a manager Ben who has been working with us for over 15 years. We have a full money back guarantee. If we fail you we want to remake your food immediately or give you a credit for next time. We do mess up like every 75th order or so and if you want we even offer you your money back.

Best pizza in Sarasota.

I am always amazed at how fresh and delicious their pizzas are. I have yet to have any better in Sarasota. The restaurant is small so I always carry out my pizza.

Great Italian

Servings were huge. Medium pizza looked like large. Wonderful chicken cacciatore. Took half home. Reasonably priced. Good variety of house specials plus usual items. Would definitely return. Just pulled in on a whim because the places near the beach were all crowded. Prompt friendly service.

Thank KayWangen

Thieves

The staff attempted to steal my change. I gave the staff a $50. For my meal. They acted as if there was no change due. I had to call them out on it to get the change. I won't be back.More

Thank johncouch1

Totally my fault! I was the waiter, the cook and the cashier. We are not usually that busy on Mondays and I did not schedule accordingly. I finally asked my delivery driver to cash you out and he did not have access to "table service"...More
