Ricks Pizzeria e Ristorante — Restaurant in Sydney

I can't tell you how nice it is to finally have a good local pizza store near by! I've tried so many and they've all been so disappointing. But your pizza and pasta... It's out of this world. We loved everything we ordered and couldn't stop talking about how good it was when we were eating it. Our order was:

The Nonna's Special $19.00 BBQ Chicken $19.00 Garlic Pizza $14.00 Sicilian $22.00 Aurick Add: Blue Vein Cheese $24.00

Everything was fantastic, but I think the pasta was perhaps a little pricey (but boy was that combination amazing - you should make that the "Marks Special" pasta after my dad who ordered it with the blue cheese! 😉). Also, the garlic pizza could have used a little more garlic, and more evenly spread, as well as with mixed herbs (or better yet, feta!!) instead of parsley as we couldn't really taste it.

Other than that, absolutely faultless. It was all so flavoursome and perfectly cooked. Your pizza base is amazing! So light and fluffy.

Also, I would love to see a pizza just like the BBQ chicken one but with satay sauce instead. I know it's not exactly traditionally Italian but satay chicken pizza is awesome. Give it a go!

Thank you, Ricks. Keep up the quality and consistency of our first order and we will be loyal customers for years to come....

Horrible Experience – Below average Food – Missed Elements from Main Dishes We are surprised buy the good reviews for this pace because our experience wasn’t very good at all.

We had pre-booked a table for 6.30pm on a Saturday night but when we arrived it wasn’t ready…? We know stuff happens so we ignored this and waited for 15 minutes to be seated.

We ordered two pizzas, a pasta dish and two seafood baskets. Service from the kitchen was appalling, one pasta dish arrived 45 minutes after we ordered, two pizzas 10 minutes later and the reaming dishes 10 minutes after that.

The Pizzas were soggy, drenched in oil and basically unpleasant to eat, the pasta was acceptable but they didn’t include all of the elements on the seafood baskets so that was a fail as well….?

Throughout this awful experience, we were half expecting the owner or manager to come up to apologise but that never happened even though he knew they failed on almost every front – Lots of good restaurants around, no need to...

I've been to this local restaurant and done quite many takeaways. The food never disappoints me. So this time my girlfriends and I came here for dinner around 6ish. The place is still empty. So we just walk in and get a table for 3. We ordered 1 large pizza, 1 traditional pasta (carbonara), 1 gourmet pasta (chicken polo), 2 dessert (tiramisu & Bailey's creme brulle). The best pizza dough I've ever eaten. I never like the pizza crust, but this one is exceptional. The dough is so soft, and the toppings are generous. Pasta is also very good, especially the chicken polo. Love the pesto sauce, so creamy. The tiramisu was alright, Bailey's creme brulle is the winner for me. I can taste the Baileys. The praline is perfect. It got a little bit bitterness, which is a good pair for the sweetness of the custard. After 6, the place slowly got busy for dine in and takeaway. Staff is so friendly and very attentive. Overall, we had a nice dinner. I'm so glad there's a nice local restaurant...
