Riko’s Pizza has opened its newest Connecticut location in 60 Charles St. in Westport, its seventh franchised location and 11th overall, as well as the sixth in its home state.
Known for its super-thin crust tavern-style pies, local neighborhood atmosphere and extensive selection of craft drinks, Riko’s Pizza of Westport is located right off Interstate 95 at 60 Charles Street, within walking distance of Westport’s Metro North Train Station.
The 5,700-square-foot Riko’s Pizza of Westport can serve up to 160 guests and offers a 40-foot-long bar with 20 stools and 12 beers on tap, 14 large TVs throughout the restaurant and Riko’s complete menu of tavern-style pizzas, oven-roasted wings, made-to-order salads, fan-favorite desserts and a growing list of appetizers.
Riko’s Pizza of Westport is being opened in partnership with a new franchisee group from the Fairfield County, Conn., area, with 80 years of combined business leadership and operational experience.
“Our families have loved Riko’s since its inception in 2011, and we are proud to now join their team and bring their winning brand and tavern-style pizza movement to Westport,” said Westport franchisee Rodd Salvatore on behalf of all the franchisee partners. “Our children have grown up eating Riko’s pizza after sporting events, at family parties, and so many other occasions. When the brand began franchising in 2020, we knew we wanted to be a part of it, and as we complete our transition from long-time loyal customers to franchisees, we want to thank Rico, Luigi, and the entire organization for their trust and leadership. Adding Riko’s to the rich fabric of Westport’s vibrant and family-oriented town is truly a dream come true, and we look forward to providing residents with a new go-to place to enjoy delicious pizza, watch their favorite sports teams, and make lasting memories.”
