Naples’ dining scene just got a little crispier — and a lot more exciting — with the opening of Riko’s Pizza at Known for its signature ultra-thin, crunchy “bar pie” crust and lively neighborhood atmosphere, Riko’s is adding a fresh flavor to our growing North Naples dining corridor. If your idea of a perfect Naples night is great pizza, a lively bar, and an easy location, Riko’s Pizza just made your short list. The beloved tavern-style “bar pie” brand has officially opened at 8710 Addison Place Drive in North Naples - right across from Founders Square at Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard.
Why Locals Are Buzzing
Riko’s is known for ultra-thin, crackly-crust pies, oven-roasted wings, crisp salads, and crowd-pleasing desserts. Their signature move? The iconic Hot Oil pie - a cult favorite for good reason.
The Concept & Menu
Originating in Stamford, Connecticut, Riko’s Pizza has earned a loyal following for its light, no-flop crusts and creative toppings. Naples diners can now experience the same authentic taste that’s made the brand a New England staple.
The menu features:
Signature thin-crust pizzas - including creative favorites like Chicken Caesar, Buffalo, Clam, and BBQ Chicken Ranch.
Oven-roasted wings - perfectly crispy without the fryer.
Sliders and sharables - from classic cheeseburgers to spicy Nashville chicken.
Full bar - with craft beers, wine, and signature cocktails to pair with your pizza.
The restaurant features seating for about 120 guests inside, a 20-stool bar, and a breezy outdoor patio with additional space for 20–30 guests. TVs throughout the dining area make it a fun spot to catch the big game or gather with friends after a day on the course or the water. The Hot Oil Bar Pie (house legend) comes highly recommended.
The Space & The Scene
This North Naples spot brings the brand’s full-service restaurant and bar concept to the Gulf Coast with a large bar (about 20 stools), TVs for the game, and plenty of hang-out energy - all in a modern, family-friendly setting.
