Beloved Restaurant Concept to Open Two Locations in First Quarter, with Two Florida Restaurants Opening Q4
Stamford, CT (Restaurant News Release) Riko’s Thin Crust Pizza, a beloved, New England-based restaurant renowned for its crispy, thin-crust pizza, oven-baked wings, fresh salads, and craveable iconic Hot Oil Pizza, today announced its continued expansion across the east coast, with four locations opening soon.
Building on the success of its just-opened Fairfield, Connecticut location, fans in and around Darien, Connecticut, along with Merrick, Long Island, Miami Beach and Pompano Beach, Florida, can soon look forward to a taste of Riko’s famous pizzas.
Located at 934 Boston Post Road, Riko’s in Darien will be corporate-owned, situated a few miles from the company’s existing Stamford location. The Merrick, Long Island restaurant, located at 68 Merrick, will be owned and operated by existing franchisee Ken Gibbons and his business partners.
“We’re thrilled to open our second Riko’s, located in Merrick,” said Gibbons. “We were immediately embraced by the community in Levittown, where our other Riko’s is, and we can’t wait to open in our backyard here in Merrick, in such a vibrant downtown-type area with so many other great restaurants and retailers.”
In Q4, Miami Beach locals and visitors can look forward to getting a taste of Riko’s when the restaurant opens at 900 Collins Ave, and those in and around Pompano Beach can look forward their Riko’s at 14 N Federal Highway.
Says Riko’s Chief Operating Officer, Luigi Cardillo Jr, “We’re tremendously excited to continue expanding with wonderful franchise partners, bringing the food and atmosphere which have made us a community favorite for decades to new cities across the country. We hope both longtime customers who have visited us, and community members that haven’t yet tried Riko’s, will visit us for the best pizza they’ve ever had.”
Crafted with a proprietary baking process that delivers the ultimate thin-crust crunch, each of Riko’s pizzas use the highest-quality ingredients, including spicy homemade hot oil for the company’s famous Hot Oil Pizza. Additionally, each order of Oven Baked Wings is accompanied by one of Riko’s signature Wing Sauces. For those looking for something lighter, the company’s thin crust makes the perfect base for its Salad Pizzas, which feature any number of fresh salads atop Riko’s baked pizza crusts.
Along with thin crust pizzas, wings and salads, each Riko’s across the country features desserts, including Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie and Lemon Mascarpone Cake, and a robust bar area with signature cocktails, perfect for those looking to enjoy a drink while watching any number of the restaurant’s TVs.
