Riko's Thin Crust Pizza will soon announce the location of its latest Long Island location, according to a press release.

"My business partner John and I had discussed opening our own restaurant for years when my daughter took a job at the Levittown, New York Riko's," Michael Haring, who is investor in the newest Long Island Riko's location, said in the press release. "I eventually decided to have dinner there because she was constantly talking about how great the food is. I ordered the wings and the meat lovers pizza. Both items were exceptional and I was impressed with the 'no flop' pizza. When I was growing up, pizzerias in my neighborhood had their pizza firm with a nice crispy crust. The art of pizza is lost on Long Island because most pizzas are under cooked and have a doughy taste."

Riko's Pizza Principals Rico Imbrogno and Luigi Cardillo, are thrilled about the franchise location.

"After meeting with Mike and his team several times, the excitement and passion they exhibited for the brand made it clear they would be a great fit for the Riko's Team," Cardillo said in the release. "We're really excited to help them get their Long Island location up and running in the coming months and look forward to celebrating with them at the grand opening."
