Darien VFW post 6933 Thank you for the food donations to our fundraiser 2/16! It is greatly appreciated. Will definitely be going back for eat in and out.

Let me tell you about my experience at Riko's. I originally placed an order online for a party I was having on Saturday. About an hour later, a few of the guests for this party said they unexpectedly had an emergency come up and that they couldn't make it. As soon as I was notified, I called into the restaurant to try and cancel the order (two hours prior to pickup time). I was told it couldn't be done so I reached out to Riko's customer service. I left am email and message. No one picked up right away so I weighed my options and decided it would be better to just pickup the food and let the cancellation go. It's not hard to find people to come visit when food is involved, so I figured it made sense to still get the food. Picked it up and invited a few work colleagues to stop by and help eat it. Food was delicious, warm, and flavorful, as it always is. I've been going to Riko's for a while because of the quality of the food they serve and once again, they delivered. For me, the minor inconvenience of not being able to cancel the order was just that. A very minor inconvenience. However, about an hour after picking up the order, I got a response from Riko himself. He apologized and let me know this order should have been able have been canceled but some new staff was training and didn't know how. He was very apologetic and sincere about the situation and for me, getting a call from the man who started the business on a Saturday was absolutely exceptional. He was very apologetic but appreciative that I picked up the order and everything was fine now. That's really some exceptional customer service. Fast forward to Monday the following week and I got a call from the owner of the hope street branch, Luigi. He also was extremely apologetic about the entire situation but he called offering a solution. He proposed because of the entire situation and the inconvenience it may have caused that Riko's would like to make it right and take care of providing food for the original party that had been moved to the following Saturday, free of charge. Hearing from Riko himself was already above and beyond to me, but this took it to a completely different level. To offer this as a solution to the situation told me everything I'd ever need to know about Riko's and the people behind the scenes that really make everything come together. These people truly care about their food and their brand. You are not just a number or income to them. They genuinely care that you, as their customer, are satisfied with your experience with them. Not to mention, as a majority foodie myself, I can absolutely confirm that they truly are putting out some of the best pie in this region. They really are fantastic at making thin crust pizza. Thin crust may not be for everyone but if you're a fan and haven't tried Riko's yet, absolutely don't hesitate to stop by. You won't be disappointed. To wrap this review up, I'd like to thank the entire team, the owner of the hope street location, Luigi and Riko himself for the professionalism and exceptional customer service they provide to me. You have earned a lifelong customer and I will continue to bring myself and my employees here anytime we are craving some high quality pie! Thank you again Riko's on Hope St!

The sauce is soooooooo good don't get me started on the cheese like omg also the location is good. the service is meh one time it took 10 mins to take order. the vibe is like brick wall and the outside Is black really giving good vibes.

Riko's pizza was already a 5 out of 5 for me but today the team went above and beyond. After an Uber Eats driver stole our order, and Uber was unwilling to help, Riko's manager stepped in and remade our order and had it delivered to us. Thank you, Riko's!

Fast delivery, good pizza. Can be a bit crowded for pickup. A bit nosy and chaotic for in-restaurant dining.

My son introduced me to Rikos a few months ago and I've become a regular ever since. The hot oil pizza is amazing. the service is friendly and efficient as well.

Excellent pizza, very good flavor, well cooked., Yes, definitely recommended. I came to try it, I know that if you are a good pizza eater this is the place for you!!!!.

I recently attended a large family function where they ordered several Riko's pizzas. The pizzas are very thin and crispy. I understand that this style of pizza is sometimes called "Tavern". Hot Oil is a popular variety of Tavern style at least in Fairfield County. There are at least two different ways to approach scoring a pizza place making a style like Tavern. You can compare it to all pizzas of all types, or you can compare it to other places specializing in Tavern Style. Tavern Style is low on my list of pizza styles and I would rarely choose that style if I had many options. Accordingly, I would give Riko's no more than 3 Stars if I rate it as pizza in general. However, there is an art to Tavern Style that some people love. Therefore, I'm going to score Riko's as a Tavern Style Pizza Place. I tried a few different types. My fav was the bacon and onion, and that's the one I would order if I return to Riko's. In any event, the crust and sauce were faithful to the Tavern Style. I would say Riko's is maybe a step down from another Tavern Style pizza place I visited this year in terms of flavors and appearance. Therefore, I'm giving Riko's 4 Stars.
