Ricco's Pizza — Restaurant in Reno

I been here twice this month, honestly this is a great pizza place. The place is clean when walking in, no dirty plates or water glasses. I love the latino home vibe, it's very welcoming. The quality of the pizza was great it was still hot when I got home. I'm the kind of person that thinks if you put too much of anything on a pizza it kills it. They put the right amount where you can taste the flavors for all four of the levels. Dough,sauce,cheese,meat. It was an enjoyable experience compared to places like roundtable. I asked for crisp wings and guess what I got crisp wings but not burnt, just how I like them. They did something that shocked me and made me happy, they opened the boxes and showed me the food before I left. That's good business because if there is something wrong they can fix it. The price is reasonable in fact I think better than their competitors. I love this place my only gripe is that they don't have an all you can eat buffet, but I get it thanks to Llorona virus. Overall this is a good hole in the wall...

When you get to be an old timer, increasingly you will find cliches to become a larger part of your communication. It is just natural in that many cliches are based on basic truths. So forgive me in advance!

When you combine "hole in the wall", with "mom and pop", it normally won't inspire a spark of "I gotta get THERE"! In this case it should! Ricco's, from the outside is nothing remarkable. And the food served there falls just a little short of spectacular. That having been said, this establishment certainly merits your evaluation. Price, quality, selection, all click top notch rankings. You won't find the hot new bourbon drink, or flashy upscale new recipes. What you will find is that local established, go to for weekend take away, that at one point was certainly THE hot spot, and having rode that wave, perhaps is a little forgotten in today's glitzy market.

From this perspective, you will find tasty standard pizza parlor fare. And have money left over for that fancy bourbon drink. Sometimes mom and pop's...

This is the best pizza in the area. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. I love the long strips of onions and green peppers. The white sauce is amazing. The staff is super friendly. I really appreciate that they take an extra five seconds to open the box and show me my pizza before they ring me up.

The only downside is that, for some reason I cannot explain, there is a disproportionate drop-off in quality when eating their pizza as leftovers. Something happens to the crust that makes it, I don't know, somehow harder to eat. Don't get me wrong, I still eat it, but I tend to throw the crust ends away or drown them in ranch to help get them down my gullet. It's weird. I don't know what could be done about it, if anything.

Regardless, still five stars for Ricco's. I...
