RICO'S PIZZERIA – Italian
Family-owned Gulf Gate pizzeria on Gateway Avenue in Sarasota, hand-tossing daily-made dough since May 1999 under founder Mark Riley's passion to build the best pizza in town — a Top 20 best-pizza-in-America list nod backing the claim. Pastas, chicken, seafood, subs, homemade cannoli, and signature cheesecake round the made-to-order menu, with self-run delivery, catering, and the 12-pound Big Richie Challenge for the bold. Open daily 11 to 10. It suits Gulf Gate pizza loyalists, delighted-not-satisfied regulars, cannoli finishers, and challengers who think they can lift twelve pounds of pie.
