If you are looking for THE BEST spaghetti carbonara, Rico’s is your place! A delicious experience and very flavorful because of the pancetta! Simply the best we ever had! The side salad that comes with this meal is very flavorful and the dressing matches perfectly. The mozzarella caprese has fresh ripe tomatoes and the mozzarella melts in your mouth!!Everything is delicious at Rico’s but this is our favorite meal !! Bon appétit

I don’t even know what to say but first time ordering here and from reviews thought it’d be ok.. I don’t know how honest these reviewers really are but to say it’s the best Umm IDTS in my opinion..the marinara/tomato sauce very bland & distasteful, the pasta bland & distasteful and not to my liking & chicken rubbery & not diced into the pasta.. the dough was decent. ham not diced in calzone but layered and did not taste good and spent good amount of money on all the food just to throw it away.. not sure if they had a bad cook that night but not worth it.. I’ll stick to my usual places that have flavor and pay attention to details . But if this is what the locals enjoy then to each their own just not my preference and only my experience and my opinion ..

Based on a recent article in the local newspaper about Rico's pizzeria we decided to give it a try last Sunday night (SR70 & Loraine Rd). I ordered carry out and didn't look at or realize the pizza was wrong until I got home. I called and was abruptly told that they couldn't do anything unless I brought the pizza back and they could physically see the mistake (although I'm sure they got a call from the person who got the pizza I ordered). So I went the 5 miles back and was told they would make a new one but I declined the additional wait and told them I'd just like my money back. I also told them I think a better way to handle the situation might be give the customer the benefit of doubt and say we'll put the correct one in the oven so it's ready when you return... not to mention an apology which was not once offered! I was refunded but realized the next day when the refund processed I received a return of $19.26 when I paid $23.54. REALLY!

Ordered 2 pizzas for take out and tasted so satisfying, that I went back the next day to try the hot meatball sub and hot Buffalo chicken sub which were even better!!! 5 stars & friendly ✔️????

Visited this place twice. They make the cauliflower gluten free pizza taste amazing! Can barely tell that it's made from cauliflower. (Sauce could use a hint more spice)

Super fast delivery! Delicious food exceeded our expectations! Fried ravioli highly recommended! Will definitely order again!

Best gluten free pizza I've had in a really long time. An absolute MUST. And their white pizza is amazing.

Family owned, great service, great salad, homemade chicken parmigiana.

Their Pizza has absolutely no flavor whatsoever it's just tomato no garlic no seasoning nothing it was the worst pizza I've ever had
