Rico's Pizzeria

I’ve been craving an antipasto and meatballs and the place I usually go to was closed for vacation. I searched and searched for a place nearby and came upon Ricos. When I called I was pleased to discover that they had both boy am I happy. I will not go back to the place that I have been going since I moved to Florida this is my new Italian restaurant hands down. Every single thing in that salad was fresh and authentic unlike the other “authentic Sicilian restaurant” I always go to. Fresh mozzarella beautiful mortadella - the olives perfection… The onions or sweet nothing bitter. The dressing wonderful. The meatballs were amazing nothing overdone. And the bread no comparison. I’ll never go back. Thank you so much for your wonderful menu the food is bar none. I can’t wait to try your cauliflower crust pizza. If I could fit it in my stomach tonight I’d order some :-)
Might I mention your prices are wonderful thank you so much and the gal that helped me and the cook were wonderful as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Nice quiet little pizza polar.

New Jersey style pizza by the slice lunch deal under 8 bucks drink included.

Best pizza in Bradenton without a doubt!
As someone from up north (NJ/NY), it is very hard to find good pizza down in this area. So glad they are here! I have had their plain, pepperoni, white, and the works pizza. All great. Cant wait to try some more items!

I decided to trust my better judgment after reading a negative review that was left by a person that seems to give negative reviews about every place they have ever visited and decided to give this place a try.
I went in and was promptly greeted by their top notch staff.
The staff reviewed their menu with me and after ordering I decided to sick around and wait for my carry out order.
The wait was about a whole 10 minutes and I got to see the pizza be tossed, topped and then put into the oven.
Very clean and inviting place with wonderful food that’s reasonably priced.
After brining my food home I was very impressed with the pizza and the quality. I’ve been searching for good pizza in this area for over 3 years and I can say I finally found my “go to” place.
I highly recommend anyone that’s considering getting food from here to just do it.
You won’t regret it.
Even if you’re lactose intolerant, it’s worth it.
