Ricco's Pizza — Restaurant in Bell

If you ask anyone in my personal life what my favorite food is, they'll say Pizza. With the exception of fish, It doesn't really matter the toppings. When it comes to pizza I don't discriminate.

I was in the area and I asked my friend to point us in the direction of any local pizza shops worth visiting and he brought up Rico's. He began to hype it up and dropped an interesting little tidbit regarding the Hawaiian pizza... I'll get to that shortly.

We called in for pickup. The owner(?) picked up the phone and took our order. He told us the order would be ready in 45 minutes and gave us our total. $100,000. The price was outrageous. He was clearly joking and while I appreciate humor, Pizza is serious business and it should be treated as such.

45 minutes pass and we get the faithful call. Our food is ready. We jet to Ricco's and now it's time to feast. We got two pizzas. We got Ricco's Special and the Hawaiian special.

Ricco's Special: It was topped with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Onions & Bell Peppers. We had the option to add Jalapeños and as much as I wanted to, I was the only one who wanted spicy so we opted out. This was pretty good. It's exactly what you'd expect when you these toppings on any pizza. I approve and this would probably be my go-to if I lived closer. I'd get it with jalapeños next time.

The Hawaiian: This had Ham, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple & Cherries. You read that right. This pizza was topped with cherries. This was the interesting tidbit I was talking about. In all of my pizza-eating career, l've never... EVER heard of cherries on a pizza but damnit, Ricco's did it. Was it good? Of course it was. If you're in the pineapples don't belong on pizza camp, you probably won't like this, but if your pallet is as refined as mine and you enjoy the sweet and the saltiness that comes with pineapple on a pizza, you'll enjoy what cherries bring to the table. They'll compliment the sweetness from the pineapple but it brings its own zing to the party. It's subtle enough that it isn't distracting but it'll definitely let you know it's there to play. I give this pizza a solid 11/10 stars. I wish this was an option on a wider scale.

Overall I'd say my visit to Ricco's was a success. The staff was nice, the food was great and although I'm not a local, I'm willing to make the...

I have been a customer at Ricco's LITERALLY my whole life. I remember being 5 and my parents bringing home Ricco's pizza for dinner and there has never been a better pizza than Ricco's. The cheese blend is to DIE for and I always ask for extra cheese and they are always so generous with the amount . Over the years my mother had developed digestion issues and her menu on the flip of a switch had to turn into a very bland / simple diet and they have always with no questions asked or any type of negative feedback have given us an issue and gladly made modifications to our orders so she can still enjoy their delicious pizza . I appreciate the whole crew and they have been like family growing up with them . I always recommend them and tell everyone about them and while obviously over YEARS minor things changed like prices , I have no problem spending the money to get some great quality food . I pray that they keep going strong for many more years to come because I literally cannot live without...

My parent's have been ordering from this pizza joint since before I was born in the 90's, then have passed it down to me and my sibling. This place is the best! We have now moved to San Bernardino county and when we come down we come to ricco's pizza!I have to say everything from pizza to the side dishes is AMAZING!, If you don't like this joints food, there is definitely something wrong with you, either your taste buds don't work or you have been eating too much little ceasars pizza. I love this place so much and guaranteed anybody else will! I will continue to let folks in my area know about ricco's pizza so they may come down and have their own taste of greatness. Oh and not to forget the service...
