Service was quick and friendly, pizza was great, and restaurant was very clean plus plenty of tv’s for sports viewing. This may be sacrilegious but pizza here is probably better than a majority of pizza places on Long Island.

We keep returning to Riko’s. My daughter has celiac and we love that the whole family can order wings because several of the wing choices are gluten free. The salad pizza and gluten free pizza crust are also delicious. My son and husband love the regular pizza too!

Riko’s is a fresh pizza and wings restaurant and bar, with a great location. The Riko sauce is a must try for the wings, and the wings have a flavor and crunch to them. Great for watching some games and food with friends or family.

I grew up in brooklyn and absolutely SCOFFED at the idea of the pizza. But damn if that hot honey pizza didn’t turn me. It’s so so good! Delicious salad too — a real surprise for such an unassuming place. Lovely staff, great spot to grab a beer and chill after work. Will be back!

Love love the Caesar Salad pizza. The pizza is perfectly crunchy and the salad is flavorful. Kids had a pepperoni pie that I brought Home,loved it too. Family went there on Thursday, also loved the food ( also had the Caesar salad pizza but a bit different) . Can’t wait to try the other pizzas as well. Lots of TVs that play sports, etc. Great service and atmosphere. Everyone Must Must try this place.

Rikos in Merrick is a great place to dine with your family! The pizzas are awesome and the wings delicious! I have also attended seasonal events which are so much fun and reasonably priced. Definitely a great place to eat, drink and be merry!

Visit Date: January 11, 2025 My friend Ralph of Ralphalicous events was hosting karaoke at Riko's. I was able to make his gig, my boyfriend, and one of his housemates whose also my friend went with me. Later on in the evening another one of his housemates also came down. And we also saw a few of our other friends at the event as well. Riko's is very lively, very full of the younger crowd but they seemed to like us older/middle aged people so that was a plus. I would say the focus is more on the bar but the food was good. I don't always get food when I go to karaoke but I didn't have dinner and I was prepared to pay for some food at Riko's. Just a heads up their last food orders go in at 10:45 on a Saturday night. I opted for the hot honey pizza, I didn't get to try to the pepperoni hot honey pizza trend until last night even though it's been a thing for a while. Riko's did a good job with the pizza. They serve thin crust but it was pretty filling. I had two slices, my boyfriend had two slices and his housemate/my friend also had two slices. The hot honey gave it a sweet taste but it wasn't overly sweet, it blended well with the pepperoni. I was impressed for my first hot oil pizza. Overall Riko's is an entertaining place for a Saturday night and they need to hire Ralph back for Karaoke again!

Riko’s is the place to be! Between the food, staff and atmosphere there is no where else I’d rather spend watching a sporting event. Everything is reasonably priced and I never leave disappointed. If you haven’t been to Riko’s, I suggest you make it your next spot for dinner.
