Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 am–10 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Sarasota is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

I’ve been coming to Rico’s Pizza for a while now, and it’s always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the white pizza is hands down the best I’ve had. Every time I come in, a kind Mexican lady helps me, and she’s always so welcoming and friendly. She reminds me of family and makes every visit feel special. Great food, great service, and a place that always makes me want to come back. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a local staple in Sarasota that consistently delivers on flavor, Rico’s Pizza is a must-visit. It’s the kind of spot where you can take a group of people with completely different cravings and everyone walks away happy. Why It’s Worth the Visit The Pizza Variety: They don't just stick to the classics. Whether you’re a fan of a traditional thin-crust pepperoni or you want something loaded with unique toppings, they nail the execution every time. The crust has that perfect chew, and the ingredients always taste fresh. Beyond the Slice: What really sets Rico’s apart is that they aren't a "one-trick pony." Their menu is packed with side dishes and main entrees—from pasta to subs—that are just as high-quality as the pizza itself. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order. Wallet-Friendly: In a town where dining out can get pricey fast, the pricing here remains very fair. You get generous portions without feeling like you’re overpaying for the "Sarasota zip code

As someone born and raised up north, finding an authentic Italian pizza restaurant that truly hits the mark can be a challenge—but Rico’s exceeds all expectations! We’ve been loyal customers for years, and I can’t recommend it enough, whether you’re dining in or taking out. What truly sets Rico’s apart is their premium plant-based/vegan options, which are absolutely delicious. With so many people transitioning to plant-based lifestyles, restaurants like this are a breath of fresh air. More and more of us are becoming aware of the unimaginable horrors of the meat, dairy, and egg industries and realizing how they don’t align with our morals or ethics. Rico’s not only offers incredible food but also provides a wide variety of mouthwatering, healthy, and environmentally friendly dishes that make every visit a celebration of compassion and flavor. My all-time favorite is their Vegetable Pizza with Vegan Cheese—it’s perfection! Their golden cauliflower is a must-try appetizer, and I also love their Margherita Pizza and Eggplant Sandwich, both made with vegan cheese. Every dish is crafted with care and packed with flavor, making Rico’s a standout in every way. All of their pasta dishes
