About Ricks Pizzeria e Ristorante

Rick’s Pizzeria e Ristorante serves proper old-school Italian pizzas with thick, fluffy dough bases piled high with generous toppings. Across The Hills, regulars know to bypass standard takeaway chains for Nonna’s Special loaded with salami, olives, and anchovies—or the vegetarian Don layered with eggplant and artichokes. Owner Rick anchors the dining room with genuine warmth, dropping by tables and sending out unprompted garlic bread or size upgrades. Creamy plates of carbonara and chicken pollo pastas round out hearty family spreads, followed by house tiramisu or Bailey's crème brûlée.

  • Old-School Fluffy Crusts: Thick, soft pizza crusts baked generously with meats and vegetables rather than sparse thin bases.
  • Owner-Led Hospitality: Rick frequently works the floor, personally checking tables and surprising guests with complimentary garlic bread.
  • Generous Pastas: Hearty bowls of carbonara and pesto chicken pollo serve easy group dinners and weeknight takeaways.
