Why Choose Riko’s Pizza?

Owning a Riko’s franchise is an excellent way to create a consistent revenue stream while being a part of a fast-growing brand that caters to everyone.

We are a full-service, Italian American-inspired, casual restaurant and bar franchise operating on a modernized model that becomes a true staple of every community where we open. Our mission is to save America from the weak pizza imitations they’ve been forced to accept. This mission is fueled by our relentless dedication to product quality, customer satisfaction, and franchisee success.

What Our Franchisees Say?
William Medina
Riko’s is the best hot oil pizza hands down. What I love about Riko’s is that it is run by a family. Once you are part of Riko’s, you are part of not only a business but also part of their family, which is ready to support you and grow together.
Mike Christie
I was originally drawn to owning a Riko’s franchise after years of eating at their locations in Connecticut and loving their unique style of pizza. When I decided to open a location of my own, I was very impressed with their knowledge, experience, and understanding of all aspects of the industry from pizza making and running a full-service restaurant to marketing and analytics. Since opening my store, Rico and Luigi have been every bit as supportive and helpful in the process as I could have hoped for in a franchisor. They are true professionals and are committed to quality, consistency and success in all their locations, and will help in any way they can.
Jay FitzGerald
The Riko's corporation has successfully built a system of production that focuses on consistency and quality across the entire menu. I have visited franchises in every state that Riko's operates in and the pizza is fantastically consistent across the country.
Frank Sciremammano
I knew after my first bite of Riko's Hot Oil pizza while driving through Stamford that I would one day become a franchisee! I had never tried anything like it.
