November 18, 2025
Riko's Pizza has opened a location in Naples, Florida. It's the second Florida restaurant and 11th location nationwide, according to a press release.
The 3,500-square-foot space is designed with Riko's iconic rustic-urban aesthetic and nods to the local coastal style of Naples. The restaurant is fill-service and features a bar with 20 stools, serving an extensive selection of craft beers, fine wines and specialty cocktails.
"Our expansion into Naples is another big step in Riko's Florida journey," Rico Imbrogno, founder and CEO of Riko's Pizza, said in the press release. "We've been incredibly grateful for the excitement and support from our Florida guests and knew Naples had to be next in our expansion pipeline. The community here truly loves good food and good company, and that's what Riko's is all about. We're not just opening a restaurant; we're creating a place where people can unwind, watch the game, and make memories over a great pizza and a cold drink. We couldn't be more excited to immerse ourselves in this incredible community, and we can't wait to serve you!"
Carl Bachmann, president and COO of Riko's Pizza, added: "The Naples opening marks another milestone in our growth story, and it's a perfect reflection of what makes Riko's so special. Every location has its own unique local flavor, but they all share the same heartbeat: our passion for delivering high-quality food and a welcoming atmosphere. Our team in Naples has built something truly outstanding, and we can't wait for locals and visitors alike to experience it. This is just the beginning for Riko's presence in Southwest Florida."
Riko's Pizza was founded in 2011 and serves super-thin crust tavern-style pizzas. The brand brand currently operates five corporate-owned and six franchise-owned locations across Connecticut, Florida, New York and North Carolina.
