    The hot oil is so addictive. Ordered to go. Ready on time--highly recommend! Will definitely return

    Ate during their soft opening week on a Friday shortly after 5pm. The restaurant filled up and there was a small crowd of people waiting for a table by 6:30 PM. It is a lot more spacious outdoors vs. indoors. No roof cover outdoors unless you sit at the bar. Luckily the sun was down and there was a nice breeze during our dinner. If you happen to have the sticky, disposable kid placemats, they do not stick on the outdoor tables. Pizza dough is high-quality flour (secret recipe) and made with New York water. It took 10 years to perfect the flour recipe. The dough is matted, poked and put on an oiled double pan, then cooked in a conveyer oven at 590 degrees for 9 minutes. We ordered the Margherita pizza with an addition of Riko's signature sauce for a $2 upcharge and the Nashville hot chicken pizza. There is only one size of pizza. Two pizzas were just enough for me, my partner, and our toddler. They were both great, super crispy. I liked how the sauce and cheese covered a majority of the crust. The Nashville hot chicken pizza was spicy, but tolerable. I liked the sweet and spicy pickles and the ranch sauce on the Nashville pizza. High chairs are available and there is a baby changing table in the handicap stall. They have an app where you can earn points, but it wasn't up and running yet for the Carolina Beach location. The owner Jay stopped by to chat with us, who was very nice. The only negative of our dinner experience was our waitress, who was slow, not attentive or friendly. Fortunately, the owner made up for her lack of customer service. This would be the place to go to if you're looking for high-quality crispy pizza.

    The group at Riko's.  It was a great time.

    The service was great. The food was outstanding. Some of us had pizza, and others had salads. I particularly like the pepperoni with hot honey pizza. Can't wait to have it again. The restaurant looked good, but the music was too loud.

    Wow!! Where do I start with this review? In CB for a long weekend and wanted pizza on our last night. We ended up at Riko's Pizza after another place we went to was closed (it's Easter) and we were NOT disappointed! For starters, as soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a super friendly hostess, as well as the owner, Jay. Super friendly & welcoming and recommended the wings with their Riko sauce! We are big wing people so, of course, we had to try them! Holy $&!@!!! The flavor was INCREDIBLE!! I could literally eat 20 of them! We also ordered the Hot Honey pizza and BBQ Chicken pizza...both were AMAZING! The thin crust was cooked to perfection! Chased it down with 21 oz Peroni's for the absolute perfect dinner! We are so happy the other place was closed and we ended up at Riko's!! If you're in the mood for great pizza (and yummy, saucy wings), do yourself a favor and go to Riko's! We will definitely be back!!

    Got take out. Super affordable and delicious! Had pepperoni pizza, hot oil pizza, wings, and cheesesteak egg rolls. Everything was great she it was ready exactly on time. Inside was super loud though but I think there was a party,

    New spot at Proximity in Carolina Beach, NC. Best pizza on the island!!! Noticed multiple TV's and an almost full dining area when I picked up our order. Nice clean new look and the staff were all nice! They greeted and thanked me upon arrival/exiting. We'll be dining in next time as the pizza and Caesar salad were both absolutely amazing!

    A great place to eat!…read more Me and my parents came here for lunch as we heard it was highly rated. Getting there was a little tricky but that was the GPS' fault. It has a nice big parking lot and we were shocked that on a Thursday afternoon, it was packed. When we walked in, we were greeted nicely and seated at a booth. The booth was nice and spacious. The table was clean, silverware was mostly clean, and there was salt, pepper, and I believe paprika shakers already on the table. One thing that impressed me heavily, is that there was a napkin dispenser already on the table. I can't tell you how frustrating it is when you have to ask for more napkins at other restaurants, and your server is nowhere to be found, or when they bring you some, but it's not enough. This is huge for a food critic like myself and this should be the standard at all restaurants. Our server was nice. She was knowledgeable about the menu and honest about what was good and what wasn't as popular. The food was good! I got the swordfish tacos with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of baked mac and cheese. The baked mac and cheese was excellent (it's quite big! You may want to make that your only side or share it with someone). The garlic mashed was good too. The swordfish tacos were good, but would've liked a little more meat in there. Still, flavor was great. My parents both got lobster rolls which they liked and my dad got the crab chowder and he said it was fantastic. Their chowder's is what they are famous for; will try that when I go back. Server was attentive, brought us refills and did an overall great job. Food is reasonable priced too and it looked like the store manager checked up on us a few times which was nice as well. Overall a great seafood restaurant to eat at. I recommend going if you are in the area; would like to go back in the future!

    The atmosphere might be nice but set your expectations low when it comes to the mixed drinks…read more I'm convinced the restaurants policy stating no refunds on mixed drinks is because they are that bad. We ordered painkillers and it was missing a key ingredient, the coconut puree. When asking the manager about it and expressing our concerns about the drink not being made correctly, he reiterated the restaurants policy of no refunds on alcohol. When told him the drinks were missing a key ingredient, he brought out shot glasses of coconut puree syrup instead of having the bartender fix them. Not a good service experience.
