We are incredibly grateful and humbled by the wonderful article Dailywise recently wrote about Riccardo’s.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our amazing community, loyal customers, friends, family, and staff who have supported us throughout the years. What began as my father Salvatore Russo’s dream in 1974 has grown into something truly special because of all of you.

Your support allows three generations of our family to continue doing what we love every single day.

Thank you for believing in us, supporting local business, and making Riccardo’s a part of your lives. We are beyond grateful.

Much love and respect,

Vito Russo & The Russo Family

Happy Father’s Day to the man who started it all.

In 1974, my father, Salvatore Russo, opened the doors to Riccardo’s with a dream, a work ethic second to none, and a commitment to family that still guides us today.

Growing up, he didn’t just teach me how to make pizza. He taught me the value of hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and treating people the right way.

Every dough I stretch, every pie I make, and every customer I serve carries a little piece of what he taught me.

For over 50 years, his passion has been the foundation of our family business, and I am grateful every day to carry on what he started.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Thank you for the lessons, the memories, and the example you’ve set for our family and our community.

Much love and respect,

Vito Russo

🌿 Meet Bella! 🌿

Bella stopped by Riccardo’s and fell in love with our fresh, homegrown Italian basil growing right here on the property. So of course, we couldn’t let her leave empty-handed!

Today, we sent Bella home with her very own basil plant so she can enjoy the same fresh aroma and flavor in her own kitchen. 🇮🇹🍅🌿

Every year we grow fresh basil the old-fashioned way, and we love sharing a little piece of it with our friends, customers, and community. Whether you’re making homemade sauce, topping a pizza, or creating a fresh summer salad, nothing beats the taste of fresh basil picked right from the plant.

Thanks for stopping by, Bella! We hope you enjoy it and think of us every time you pick a few leaves. ❤️

🔥 VITO’S SWEET & SOURDOUGH GARLIC BREAD 🔥

This isn’t your average garlic bread…

We start with our signature sourdough dough, slowly fermented for 4 full days to develop incredible flavor, texture, and that perfect crispy bite.

Then we layer it with:
🧀 Homemade mozzarella
🧀 A touch of white cheddar
🍅 Imported San Marzano tomatoes
🧀 Parmigiano Reggiano
🧀 Pecorino Romano

Baked until golden brown, bubbly, and irresistible…

Then finished with our signature Sweet & Spicy Honey Drizzle that takes this creation completely over the top!

Sweet. Savory. Crispy. Cheesy. Spicy.

One bite and you’ll understand why people keep coming back for more.

🍷 BYOB
🔥 Indoor & Outdoor Dining Available
