Pizza Review
Riccardo’s has been on my radar for quite some time with fantastic looking tomato pies but upon the release of this, the skinny Minnie square, you have my attention. Vito and the entire staff provide elite hospitality but the pizza speaks for itself. Absolute stunner of a pie. Well done caramelized edges highlight the crust that was airy, crispy and just cooked to perfection. Fresh sauce has the perfect zest for such a pie but to me the cheese blend stands out. The “bite” this pie has is unreal and not just from the blend but the fresh grating on top as well as some Evoo. I know this is not a place that is easily accessible but trust me it was worth the two hour drive just to meet great people that are passionate for their craft. Also got to try the new 72 hour fermented Margarita pie that was incredible as well as killer cannolis. I can’t say enough about the place and experience it’s a must try and there’s a pizza for everyone as the tomato pie Im Sure is the crowd favorite!!!
Pizza Review
Wow, what a great dinner. We showed up on Good Friday during lent, which means we can’t eat any meat for us. We would love to try the pinched sausage or the pepperoni cups on the pizza but we’ll have to save that for our next visit. We were promptly seated by Becky. They brought over our drinks and the owner came over and dropped off this poopy garlic bread but tomato sauce with a little bit of cheese bite things and they were really good. We didn’t want to eat them all because we knew we had two pizzas coming. But they were definitely delicious. We started off with the cheese cube appetizer, which was just breaded cubes of cheddar cheese. To us we thought they were baked not fried, which was totally perfect because we are watching our weight…So we can get something baked instead of fried that’s a win. We did wish we would’ve had some sort of dipping sauce, like a ranch, or a horseradish type of dip would’ve been good. Now, when it was time to order pizza, we just couldn’t decide. Beckie had a ton of suggestions, but most of them had meat on them. It was between the skinny mini, Ther browns Mills, tomato pie or the little salvo pizza. I think it was called, we ended up going with the skinny mini regular, and the “Browns Mills” tomato pie with extra cheese. The skinny mini was a very thin, rectangular pizza. The menu states it’s cracker, thin, however, did not have a cracker crisp. With that description we were hoping to get the crispness of a Fredericis cheese pizza from Freehold…. Other than that, it was delicious and the obvious favorite of the table. The tomato pie was really good as well with a little sweet sauce to it. The girlfriend wasn’t a fan because it does come sprinkled with the Parmesan Romano Litlle who knows what kind of little sprinkle cheese on top. She’s not a fan but I am we got the pizza with extra cheese, which was perfect for us. All the workers were super friendly and attentive. We are looking forward to coming back and trying some of the different pies available.
