Rico's Pizzeria, Sarasota FL

Best on the Beach! Arrived last minute. Staff was so generous and Friendly! No one else can compare to this place!

TERRIBLE service. We were still eating our pizza when they started putting chairs up on the tables making as much noise as possible to annoy us and make us leave (it was not even closing time). Pizza was terrible too, nothing like Jersey or NY, and it was burnt! Avoid coming to this place if you want to have good pizza or decent service, because you are not gonna have any of that.

Small place but with the possibility of eating outside, pizza of excellent flavor and fast. Somewhat expensive but its location and quality are worth it.

Came here a few days ago after wanting pizza and reading a sign in the window advertising that they have the best pizza south of jersey. This really intrigued me being born and raised in jersey myself. I learned that the owners were from jersey which I’m like wow ok the pizza should be great. Ordered one cheese slice to go. Got my slice it was hot and looked good thin and great size. Unfortunately dont let the looks fool you. It literally was the saddest pizza I’ve ever had. I didn’t taste any tomato sauce whatsoever. I’ve only noticed some towards the crust. I think they must have took a cooking brush and dipped it into the sauce then brushed it lightly on the crust and then covered it with cheese so that all you taste was cheese. I don’t know how they can claim to be the best pizza south of jersey when that’s the biggest lie known to man. I literally grew up eating the best pizza in the country. The sauce to cheese ratio is always on point between bites. I also didn’t like how the workers there were not super welcoming and seemed like they hated their lives or something. The guy who’s heating the slices is the only one with great personality. I would never go back here again and i definitely don’t recommend it. Oh and nearly$5 for a cheese slice is a huge rip off!

I am shocked that this place is a 4.3! We absolutely loved this place. That Chef Special was phenomenal. If you are looking for amazing pizza you don’t have to look no further. The staff in this place deserves recognition. They know how to treat their Customers. We will be back for sure. 555555555555555 stars from the wife & i & our kids.

We went for lunch and everything we got tasted terrific. Staff was friendly and provided great service. Calzone was the best.

Pretty good food and reasonably priced. I am from Chicago and will tell you good pizza in Florida is hard to find. My family visits Lido beach a couple times per year and this is the best local spot we have found.

The restaurant is fine, nothing fancy, but the pizzas are great and super fresh! The service is excellent, from the chef to the cashier and waiters. Everyone’s super nice. I really recommend it!

I work in the area so I’ve ordered there couple times my experience has been horrible for the simple reason that they are not very nice establishment when it comes to wanting your food done a certain way so because apparently I have complained to much they decided not to serve me anymore like wow I work hard for my money and if order I expect to be happy with what I ordered. Not to mention there customer service is very rude!

We stayed on lido beach and had pizza Mac and cheese and salad delivered. They brought it up to the 3rd floor of the condo that we were staying at. The delivery driver brought our food in and was very nice. The pizza was over the top. We had that for lunch the next 2 days along with the Mac and cheese, needless to say we are ordering again tonight. Lido beach residents and vacationers should be thankful that they have your food available!

Food was amazing and very friendly service hands down 10 out of 10 I had the buffalo chicken mac an cheese wife had egg plant all amazing

Ordered a pepperoni pizza, they brought out a cheese but they were so busy we decided to not correct them. Was still really good though

My wife and I make sure to come here everytime we are in town. Great white sauce pizza and Buffalo chicken slices.

Empty pizza box. Yes, that damn good. I would like to call myself a meatball connoisseur. Rico makes a great meatball pizza! Get some. (ps. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo!)

Rico’s Pizzeria has amazing food. The workers are really nice to the customers. There is barley any wait before getting your food, and the food is amazing. The atmosphere is nice and the place is well cared for and clean.

Horrible customer service. Very rude. When asked if they could offer any recommendations to us they did not respond.
