Riko's Pizza Expands to Naples, Florida
Riko's Pizza, a well-recognized brand specializing in tavern-style pizza, has recently opened its doors in Naples, Florida, marking its second establishment in the state and the eleventh across the nation. Located at 8710 Addison Place Drive, this new venue showcases the company’s commitment to bringing its unique dining experience to Southwest Florida. Known for its incredibly thin crust pizzas, or 'bar pies', Riko's has cultivated a loyal customer base back in Connecticut, and it’s eager to create that same connection in Naples.
Founded in 2011, Riko's Pizza has made a name for itself by focusing on a casual dining experience that blends great food with a welcoming atmosphere. The new location boasts a spacious 3,500-square-foot interior designed with a rustic-urban aesthetic that pays homage to the vibrant local coastal style, ensuring that both locals and visitors feel right at home.
Facilities and Offerings
The restaurant features a comprehensive menu that extends beyond its signature bar pies. Patrons can enjoy oven-roasted wings, customizable salads served in various styles, and a range of delightful desserts. The full-service bar, which can accommodate 20 patrons, offers an extensive selection of craft beers, fine wines, and specialty cocktails, making it a quintessential spot for social gatherings.
Multiple high-definition TVs are strategically placed throughout the establishment, ensuring that sports enthusiasts have the perfect viewing experience whether they are enjoying a meal inside or relaxing on the outdoor patio, ideal for Naples' year-round pleasant weather.
With a seating capacity of over 120, the new Riko's Pizza location is poised to become a favorite destination for family dinners, casual meet-ups, and community events, melding a casual atmosphere with exceptional culinary offerings. Riko Imbrogno, the Founder and CEO, emphasized that this expansion is a significant milestone in their mission to create not just a restaurant, but a community hub where people can gather, unwind, and enjoy their favorite comfort foods together.
Grand Opening Celebration
To celebrate the launch in Naples, a grand opening event took place on November 10. This festive occasion featured speeches from prominent local figures including City Councilmember Beth Petrunoff, as well as remarks from Riko and other company leaders. The event highlighted not only the excitement surrounding Riko's entry into Naples but also strengthened its ties to the local community.
Looking Ahead
The company’s expansion is part of a larger plan to increase its footprint along the East Coast, with multiple locations on the horizon. As Riko's continues to grow, it remains committed to high-quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere that defines its brand. Each new restaurant aims to capture the local essence while maintaining the consistent quality Riko's Pizza is known for.
As this beloved pizza brand reaches new heights, it invites Naples residents and visitors alike to join them in the celebration of good food, good company, and great memories. The Naples location is just the beginning of Riko's growing presence in Florida and beyond, as it works to redefine the way people think about pizza.
