Riko’s Pizza Opens 11th Location in Naples With Bar Pie Menu

Riko's Pizza opened its first Naples location at 8710 Addison Place Drive on Oct. 29. This is the 11th location for the Stamford, Connecticut-based tavern-style pizza brand. 

The new restaurant is 3,500 square feet and seats around 120 guests. Twenty barstools line the counter, while the patio holds another 20 to 30 seats. Large-screen TVs broadcast sports games, and a full bar serves drinks.

A dedicated takeout area handles carryout customers. The shop follows the brand's full-service model with a bar program featuring specialty cocktails and draft beers.

"We're redefining what pizza is to people and how families can enjoy it," Bachmann said, according to Business Debut. "We're focused on creating a fun environment where parents and kids can enjoy a meal together."

The menu focuses on thin, crispy "bar pie" pizza made with proprietary dough, sauce, and cheese. "It's light, no flop, and high quality," said Bachmann. "You can eat a lot and not feel heavy."

The menu also features baked wings and salad pizzas, including chicken Caesar, Mediterranean, and barbecue chicken ranch. Nashville hot chicken, cheeseburger, and meatball sliders are also available.

Enrico "Rico" Imbrogno founded the chain and serves as the majority owner. The executive team includes Bachmann as president and chief operating officer, Luigi Cardillo as chief financial and technology officer, Robert Furnari as chief administrative officer, and Dawn Imbrogno, who oversees accounts receivable, payroll, and administrative operations.

The company plans to launch more Florida shops in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood and a second Naples location next year. 

The restaurant will be open seven days a week. Hours run 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
