I had ordered a party size pizza, and some breadsticks , I lived maybe 10 minutes away, so I waited about 20 minutes until pick up to leave my house when I arrived. First of all there is nobody at the front desk second of all when somebody was able to help me they told me that they're barely putting the pizza in so we waited and it was done in less than 15 minutes. , when we got home, me and my family ate the pizza and we all could tell the consistency of the dough was very sticky We gave them the benefit of doubt that they wouldn't serve us raw pizza. And we all ended up getting sick the next day. I had called them the day after, but I had called the wrong Rico's. So I called the correct number the day after and I spoke to Hector was texting victor the manager because he was not in , and victor he was very unprofessional questioning me almost like I am lying about the pizza. I never demanded a refund. I just asked if they could remake it. !!!! I have came here for years and never have I ever experience this read more

This is a late review. My experience here was so unpleasant that I still think about it. I wish I took a pick but I was driving. I ordered a pizza picked up on store waited a while . The guy helping me seemed nice he apologized for the pizza looking different. He said they took a slice off another pizza. I picked that slice in the car and there was a long hair under the cheese. The place looks like it's also falling apart. I believe it was placed on there on purpose. He seemed annoyed o had asked if they use coupons i had just bought form a fundraiser. He said no , I still ordered the pizza. This was my first time hearing about this pizza place so did not know what to expect. Needless to say I go to the one I Modesto now on dale rd and it is a very different experience. read more

We checked out Rico's Pizza in Empire and never went back. They had a special deal for a large one topping pizza for around $7.00. We always get half creamy white/garlic sauce and half red sauce whenever we get pizza, at almost any pizza establishment. Well, they said that would be the FULL cost of the pizza, no sale! A regular one topping pizza was around $20.00!! That is a HUGE jump in price for a little sauce difference! Plus, they charge for everything! Including the ranch on the side. Plus, the girl taking the order was super rude about it. Like the price difference was coming out of her own pocket or something. Guess what? We left and went to a different Rico's, and had no complaints. Won't ever come back to Rico's in Empire. read more

I used to use Rico's a lot for gatherings and then, on a delivery, the driver became upset at me for not dropping what I was doing and instantly attending to his needs, he got angry and left. When I opened the box, there was a piece missing. Apparently he had dropped the order on the way in, became frustrated and took out his anger on me and my those I was with. To be fair, he refused payment and when I called and asked to pay anyway for what we did receive, the person made it clear they didn't want my business (which up to that point was several hundred dollars a year). So it was with GREAT satisfaction that I read today's Modesto Bee listing of the favorite pizza places in Stanislaus County. Rico's was neither nominated or ranked. I am so not surprised. read more

Pizza was no good and missing all the inner crust the toppings were stuck to the bottom of the pizza box. I have no idea how you can send out a pizza like that and the meat tasted rotten. Never again.. read more

You can't beat the party pizza. Not only big but tasty! Good crust! Great price too! We got 3 party pizzas for our church group and it was all eaten and everyone was happy! read more

If life has you in Empire for 2 years and your starving for pizza,this is the place to go. You can order through DoorDash. Careless people so work here. Every single time I came here something happened. Give them a break. Be patient. Breath,inhale Exhale. Pray. Then Understand. Remember Jesus loves all of us. It's a good day for pizza. Thank you GOD for my pizza. read more

Golden if you need to feed a horde of hungry youngsters on a budget; not for you if you're a pizza snob like me. They do HUGE pizzas for surprisingly cheap (heck, I still remember a different Rico's from high school parties a long time ago!). The quality is solid -- decent ingredients and lots of them, crust fully cooked, pleasant staff. It tastes like a mid-range pizza, not like a cheap pizza. In pizza style, it's the thinnish soft crust that seems to be a California thing. They manage to get it cooked through even when loaded with ingredients, which is a plus. read more

Spend money elsewhere! I placed an online order and still had to wait an 1hr in store for my order and no one was in store had a total of two to go orders within that hr. Staff hides in the back and didn't answer me when I asked how much longer specifically two women employees. The only one who was helpful and did bring my order and answered me was a younger man with a beanie so shout out to him he's the only reason for the two stars. I won't be coming here again sadly go to the location in Turlock instead. read more

Still a great Pizza, sadly its hard as hell to find out who controls the franchise, I would love to see one in Oakdale instead of having to drive all the way to empire for a slice. But at least they are still around. If ya haven't tried their Party Pizza yet, your missing out. Just don't drive up in one of those tiny hybrids if your taking TAKE OUT. 26" Pizza and a 28" BOX so its HUGE! read more

I love their combination Party Pizza's. They are way more affordable than they were 8 years ago under the old ownership. Back then I had to pay $70 for the party pizza's, now I pay around $48 after taxes. Also, the combo is pretty good, better than the ones from back in the day. The staff is friendly and they give me a good estimate of time for when the pizza will be ready for pick up. Also, they have recently offered delivery. Though I think you have to buy a certain amount. I'm pretty content with the service I've gotten so far. Though recently I did have to ask the girl at the counter to give me a little bit more peppers, she only gave me like 8 packets for the huge 26" Party Pizza, but she gave me some more after I asked. read more

I was disappointed that the bathroom didn't have a lock on it but the place did have a nice atmosphere. They have a pool table an video games. The pizza slices are huge and they're very good priced. The pizza was very flavorful too I liked it a lot. read more

This was my first and maybe my last time here. The service was good that's why they got three stars instead of two, but the pizza slice was dry and did not taste fresh or good. The little amount of sauce that it did have was bland. They advertise fresh hand tossed daily bit it seemed as though they stuck yesterdays pizza back in the oven. read more

This place was dirty and most of all unfriendly on top of that our pizza had more oil than a Costco pizza... don't waste your time many better options around read more

I'm giving this Rico's a 2 because it's been going down hill FAST. Their pizza used to be garlicky, buttery, and perfect actually they had a nice combo going on with the pizza. Now each time we've been going the pizza has changed big time. The pizza we just got right now 6/22/19 was so hard it was almost burnt, bland on flavor, very tough hard to chew. It's a hit and a miss with customer service most of the time there is a couple respectful boys working but at night if you try to order a pizza before closing they are down right rude and say "oh we don't make pizza 30 minutes before closing" I'm not sure if this is for every Rico's because it's bullshit they really need to have it posted on their door/website because it's not right. Not to mention the decor is really outdated the carpets desperately need a shampoo or changed.12 We only continue to go here because it's the more decent pizza you can get in the area but the quality of the pizza is really going down hill. Really not pleased I hope you guys fix this because I like coming here I'd hate to have to find another pizza place to eat at. read more

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Fantastic help with ordering a surprise dinner for my uncle's 54th birthday. I found relief with the amazing care and help that fit my specific needs. I cannot thank them enough for their wonderful service & great dinner delivered direct! A+++ read more

Love the pizza !!! Beer is ice cold & staff are friendly and helpful. Not much of an atmosphere, but pizza to go is great !!!

It's so good !! I work near by so me and my office buy a lot from here and I took my family there today and they fell in love with it. We will definitely be back for more read more

About a solid year ago I would come get pizza almost every Tues (because of their Tuesday specialty price and one really awesome employee that i don't see there any more). Unfortunately it has continued to decline in both service and quality since then. I adventually stopped coming, until I came in tonight and remembered exactly why. Wait time is way longer than should be, customer service treats the customer as though they are an inconvenience. Quality of pizza is definitely not what it used to be. Crust is flat and hard to chew, what used to be a generous amount of toppings that would cover the whole pizza is now sparsely scattered no where near to touching another topping. Pretty dissatisfied once again. To bad Empire is so small, and there isn't room for another pizza parlor. read more

Worst customer service I've ever seen!!!!! And their "all u can eat "is a choice of 2slices of pizza and a salad bar... that u have to ask 5 times for.... and the workers are complete assholes!!! O and if u eat ranch on ur pizza they charge u 50¢ a cup!! Used to spend 100$ a wk there.... not no more!! Fuck these people!! If I could give them -1000 stars I would!!!! read more

Very family environmental, and great customer service. Pizza is super delicious worth waiting for.

This is crazy, we just ordered 2 topping large pizza, salami and mushrooms! What a joke! We, I am very upset, this is not cool, we got maybe 8 Zealand's and veryupset few mushrooms! We looked at the pizza and asked the lady, where are the toppings, she's like, oh, well, we have new employees, we were like, well, do they know how to add toppings! I, we will never going there again....everyone please stop going there, this is wrong! read more

I needed to feed a very large group of people and I quickly thought of their Giant Pizza's- they feed a lot of people and are delicious. I called to make special arrangements on two separate occasions during the busy holiday season and they were awesome. Staff was friendly and accommodating and the pizza was great. read more

Came in for lunch. Had to wait for food to be made when food was suppose to be made already for the lunch special. Nobody was here. Pretty empty. Still gave it a shot. And result was bad. Pizza was rushed. Dough was uncooked. I won't be back. It was bad enough where I had to complain. I wanted my money back. read more
