Great pizza. Similar to Colony but at Rikos you have food options other than pizza which is nice. Sauce on the wings had slight heat but for me the wings were a little slimy, not crispy. Salad was very good and love that they have several salad pizza options. Great service and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back. - Kathy D
