Riccardo's Pizza & Italian Restaurant - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came in with 9 other soldiers after a week long competition. We were seated instantly and treated with the best hospitality from the servers and the owner. Phenomenal food, especially the pizza and garlic knots.

Great place, Highly Recommend!! from Detroit the pizza is just like at home!!

If you love pizza, you need to check out Ricardo’s! Friendly happy staff makes you feel like you are part of the family.

Finally made it to Riccardo’s to try their pizza. We have heard so many good things about it. Let me tell you we were so pleasantly surprised with the restaurant! It looked newly updated and renovated and was a nice atmosphere. It was a busy night and the menu was extensive. We weren’t sure what to try for the first visit there but decided to go with their famous browns mills pie. It was delicious and full of flavor! The owner went around to greet his customers at the different tables and it was so nice to speak with him and he offered us something special he had had made himself in the kitchen that wasn’t offered on the menu! It was delicious!!!!! We were so full before the pizza even came. We took half the pizza home and it reheated perfectly! I would say it’s one of the best pizza/italian restaurants in the area and we will definitely be back to try more of their food!

Thin-crust, well-done pizza was fantastic. Marinara sauce was amazing. Service was great...and really friendly. I was in the middle of Browns Mills, but sitting on the patio was like being in italy. And like evreyone said, Vito the owner came around to chat and see how we were doing. Loved this place!

Becky, our server, was the best. She was very personable, courteous and friendly. She explained everything in detail and didn't rush us. We had our dog, Barney, with us and she respected his personal space. Great food and spacious outdoor dining. The tables aren't crammed outside just so they can fit more tables. Everything is cooked to order, so don't expect to be served quickly. If you want that, then go to McDonald's.

I recently dined at Riccardo's and had a fantastic experience! The pizza was absolutely delicious—crispy crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. You could tell they use quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their food. Overall, Riccardo's offers not just amazing pizza but also a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend this place for a delicious meal and great service!

Lovely restsurant, fantastic pizza, Vito the owner treats you like family. Outdoors he grows fresh herbs, roses, grapes and figs. There is outdoor seating.

Damn, what can I say about Ricardo's Restaurant in Browns Mills? This place is absolutely amazing! That’s not just coming from me, but from my son, who couldn’t help but say it after taking his first bite of the appetizer they brought us. The moment he said “Damn, this is good!” I knew we were in for a special dining experience. The food here is out of this world, especially if you’re into authentic Italian cuisine. Ricardo’s offers everything from delicious pizzas to hearty pasta dishes, paninis, and more. Their pizzas have the perfect crisp crust, topped with fresh ingredients that make each slice better than the last. The pasta dishes are rich and flavorful, with sauces that taste homemade, and the paninis are just the right mix of savory and satisfying. Each dish is made with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. Portions are generous too, so you won’t leave hungry! But it’s not just the food that makes Ricardo’s stand out—it’s the people. The owner of the restaurant is truly something special. He’s not the type to hide in the back; instead, he’s out on the floor, checking in on customers, making sure everyone’s happy with their meal. He even came to our table and brought us a free appetizer, something new he wanted us to try, which is what sparked that memorable reaction from my son. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in everything he serves. The service here is just as amazing as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. They make you feel like you’re a part of the family, going out of their way to ensure your dining experience is perfect. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and more than happy to make recommendations if you’re not sure what to order. Their warmth and professionalism really add to the overall experience. The ambiance at Ricardo’s is cozy and relaxed, perfect for a family dinner, a casual night out with friends, or even a date night. The space is clean and comfortable, with just the right amount of charm to make it feel special without being too formal. In short, Ricardo’s Restaurant is a gem in Browns Mills. From the mouth-watering Italian dishes to the outstanding service and personal touches from the owner, this place is one you’ll want to visit again and again. My family and I left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces, already looking forward to our next meal there.

Love the service love the owner love the food

The BEST Italian spot around. Great service, incredible food, and an amazing family running a beautiful venue with the best atmosphere.

Had a little get together for my sister's 60th birthday. We had 11 people. The service was GREAT! The appetizer and pies were even BETTER! They brought out our cake lit the candles and the staff sang Happy Birthday along with all the other people that were dining. The bill was much lower than I had expected! I'll be putting Ricardo's on my dinning out options from here on out. Thank you to Vito and the staff!

This pizza place was great. The service was excellent. The owner brought out a wonderful bread for us to try. YUM! He was so humble and friendly. We loved the pizza, salad and panini Our friends raved over the pasta dishes they ordered we will definitely be back!

Could not think of a finer Italian restaurant to enjoy with my family. Vito, Sal, Mom, and team you’ve truly made an amazing experience! If you find anything disappointing, just let you don’t know. Never left disappointed, neither will you.

Had a garlic knott, side salad w Asian sesame dressing, creamy seafood spaghetti, fried mac & cheese wedges, & tiramasu. Also got a free plate of some really good sourdough side dish curtesy of the main chef/owner. Everything tasted amazing. I don't even like sourdough, but I loved this. Best tiramasu I've ever had 😍💘

All of our food was amazingly awesome! We ordered chicken broccoli tortellini, side salad, chicken noodle soup, & garlic bread knots. We used to live in NJ & came here to eat every week or two. We moved to IL, came back here to visit, & this is the 1st place we came to eat! It's still the best Italian restaurant we've ever been to! The staff is friendly & they make sure u get everything u need. Love this place! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vito brought out a fantastic new garlic bread. Little spicy, tomato glaze, amazing!

The best pizza Ever had!! The Browns Mills Tomato pie is THE BEST!!

I pull into the parking lot and there's Vito watering the flowers out front, and the garden on the side of the restaurant. He greeted me like he knew me, he gave me a tour and told me the history of the place. Very personable guy, he makes you feel at home in his humble abode. Very clean, organized and high tech equipment. Vito recommended the "Skinnie Mini", so I told him I saw him on Fox 29 and asked about the Detroit. He told me about the process of making the dough for the Detroit, and said you buy the Skinnie Mini and I'll "Gift" you the Detroit as long as I can put our picture on his wall. So after about a millisecond I gladly accepted!!!!!!! Thank you for the tour, the Detroit and the espresso ! BUON APPÉTIT !!!!!!!

The pizza is incredible, the staff is welcoming and accommodating. This is THE spot to eat if you're in the area.

Excellent food, prompt service. The owner was extremely accommodating by turning down air conditioning for us. Large portions of food and wonderfully done! We will be back!

We had heard a great deal about Riccardo’s so we decided to give it a try – we drove 15 miles to do so and were NOT disappointed. The food was very good, the atmosphere pleasant, the staff was very friendly and the owner clearly cares deeply about their customers. Pizza was excellent, salad portions were generous and the sandwiches very good. Totally recommend Riccardos.

The best pizza I ever had. You have to order the tomato pie Ricardo’s Italian restaurant in browns, Mills, New Jersey the owner Vito  a terrific person 😊👍 always great service

We tried their amazing garlic bread Then the Vito Pizza now which is our new best pizza here in NJ ! Friendly staff and owner Nice clean setting Very reasonable pricing giving great value and lots of leftovers

The food was delicious, the staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was great. The portions are incredibly big, so we had to take to go boxes. Vito, the owner introduced himself to us and was absolutely lovely! I’m visiting from out of town, otherwise I would be eating here often. Highly recommend! Big thank you to Vito from the “cute blonde girl” :)

Amazing experience at Riccardos! Not only was the food great but the service was incredible! Vitos hot honey garlic bread was spectacular. We will be coming back.

Vito brought us some of his special bread!! To die for! Amazingly delish! Detroit pie didn't disappoint either!

Never had a bad meal here everything is always delicious!

Been ping to Riccardo’s my entire life. Great family, great food, and atmosphere . Sal and Vito definitely make Browns Mills a better place.

I think this pizza place is the best Pizza in Browns Mills. I love the atmosphere as well!! Everyone seems to be genuine nice and that is hard thing to find now a days!!

Great family atmosphere. Our family has been coming here for years. We love Riccardos ❤️

I love Ricardo‘s restaurant. Their food is excellent, especially the Sicilian pie. The owner and the waitresses are very friendly. Do yourself a favor, and try Ricardos’s. you will not be disappointed.

This is a hidden gem! More than just an ordinary pizza restaurant!! The food is amazing. The owner Vito, as busy as he is, greats everyone as though their his family. It's as though you are eating in Italy with quality food and friendly, competent service! Bravo to Riccordo's & Vito! Grazie! Bronwyn

Amazing food and service (thank you Amber)! We had Buffalo Chicken Eggrolls and fries for appetizer. The kids had Fettuccine Alfredo & a Chicken and Peppers Calzone. I had Chicken Marsala and Mr. had New Orleans Shrimp & Pasta Rigatoni. Vito was very welcomimg and kind to us. This is a must see hidden gem in Browns Mills and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience! Food was great! Definitely will be back!

Josh was absolutely fabulous! Best waiter we've ever had!! Food was amazing as always!

A friend took us after giving high praise to the food and the menu. It was “sooooo“ delicious. Garlic knots, garlic bread, broccoli rabe, zeppolis,, meatballs, manicotti, eggplant parm, chicken Leonardo…..what a wonderful surprise. Great Italian food like we grew up with. We were lucky enough to have a friendly conversation with Vito the owner, and his son Sal, although they were very busy. It was as though we had been dining there for years. Hannah, our waitress, was fantastic, so helpful, efficient and had a great sense of humor. With so many choices on the menu we will be there often . Vito has done a magnificent job, the outdoor dining looks great and the red & white umbrellas look great as you drive up. The food is always delicious and he loves experimenting with creating new items

Thank you Amber for your exceptional service. I brought friends for the first time and was made to feel so welcomed. Everyone loved the food, we had the sausage and pepper soup, garlic knots, Browns Mills Tomato pie, penne with vodka sauce and spaghetti with white clam sauce. Thank you for offering amazing home cooked meals. Of course we will be back.

Awesome eatery! So many great items to choose from, also pizza by the slice. Amber is a outstanding server. She was very attentive and made us feel special. Definitely going to be a favorite place for us the next time we are in the area.

Very good service, excellent food, very nice place. 👍👍👍

The food was absolutely great and the customer service was superb. I noticed Vito, owner, stopped at each table to talk to customers to ensure everything is ok and to find out if any is needed. I highly recommend Ricardo’s. So if you are looking for great Italian food, nice atmosphere and excellent customer service please stop at Ricardo’s to experience what Indif.

Everything tasted amazing! The service was excellent, will definitely come again.

Excellent food. This was my second trip to Riccardo's and both times the service was great. Vito stopped by each table to see how we enjoyed the meal. He made sure that everything was to our expectations. Great job Vito.

Awesome experience. Planning on going back very soon. Staff and food were amazing. Highly recommend!

The food was fabulous. I came in a big group of 16 and had a wonderful experience. I would recommend others to go and try it

Food & service was amazing. Excellent staff!!

Awesome experience and staff was amazing. We had a group of 15 and food was prepared with love and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend and you have to try the dessert.

Great Customer Service and the food was excellent

I loved our servers, they were very welcoming #Ema you were great

This was the last meal I wanted before I moved across the country. Highly recommend!! (The Mikes Hot Honey is my favorite)

Reviews seemed to be promising. My experience was not. Boardwalk food.

Ordered a pizza with the works Omg so good fresh ingredients just the right balance of flavors definitely my go to restaurant in South Jersey priced very reasonably for such excellent food

Incredible to say the least. I love the authentic Italian taste and feel to everything. Vito the owner is such a genuine guy and amazing chef. The wait staff are awesome. 10/10 would recommend making a family night or date night out of visiting this restaurant.

Delicious tomato pie. The owner and staff were super friendly- even treated my toddler to mini cannoli. It was worth our half hour drive.

Vito and staff are fantastic people. Without exaggeration, the pizza and food is the best that I have had and I have traveled in many state.

They have come along way since the small little shop in the corner. Staff is friendly They seat you and attend to your needs quickly. Vito the owner walks the floor having light conversations with all his guests He brings the “bread” appetizers and they are usually very delicious. The atmosphere is nice, Clean, inviting and each time we visit there is some kind of upgrade to the positive. The food is fresh and hot. I highly recommend the Margarita pizza. The sauce is on the sweet side- which I don’t mind because it’s quite good The portions on the tables around us looked big. Everyone seemed to bring home what they couldn’t finish. They allow BYOB and give you wine glasses as well. Overall a very nice eatery for American Italian fare. We visit often and it is consistently good each time. They also have a nice selection of dessert- if you can save room.

Great food great people running the place

Food was absolutely AMAZING & Delicious!!!!!!! Will be back on my next trip to Jersey

Had friends in from Cincinnati and we had only ONE destination to take them to. Everyone was AMAZING! Vito brought us put some special garlic bread and treated us like family

Definitely a great place to come and eat. a wonderful atmosphere great for a first date , family night, or after a Middle or High School sporting event. I underestimated what I ordered and brought quite a bit back. I would recommend to at least try it out once you wont be disappointed. Meeting Vito was friendly making this restaurant feeling like a home away from home. I will most certainly return with more friends.

I am from the Bronx, New York and came to Browns Mills to spend the day with my good friends Brian and Mary Jean. We had a great dinner at Riccardo's with included the BEST pizza I have ever eaten!

Just moved to the area and my husband and I finally got to try the food here. We got the skinny minnie thinnie pizza with pepperoni cups and mike’s hot honey. We also got a tuscan chicken cutlet sandwich. To top that all off, I picked up one of those limoncello and mascarpone cakes! We visited the restaurant and took the food home. It was ready pretty quick despite us ordering on the spot instead of ahead of time. The staff were very nice and helpful as well. We even got to meet Vito, the owner. He told us a little about the history of when his father started the business. I absolutely love supporting local places and the food was so delicious and fresh. The pizza was out of this world! And the limoncello cake is incredible! Even the sandwich was delicious and the portions here are huge.

It's an amazing place and a very warm welcome to everyone. The bread is absolutely delicious. Vito is a cool dude.

Excellent food and great service!

I want to take a moment and share my experience as well as thank the owner, Vito, who took fantastic care of me and my father on our first visit within this restaurant. I couldn’t begin to explain the passion I saw behind the owners eyes as he made his way around the entire dining room greeting every patron as well as taking the time to see how their meals were going and provide extra care to every single client whether they were newcomers or returning. He personally provided my father and I was such an amazing experience that I am so thrilled to have met him and I’m excited to return in the near future! The care behind the food is Wonderful and everything tasted fantastic!

Great food! Great service! Vito is the best.

Incredibly delicious pizza and excellent service. Vito is an absolute gentlemen and the wait staff are very friendly and kind. Very military-friendly - went with my unit and received delicious breads and a pie, all for free. Couldn't recommend this establishment highly enough.

I recently tried this place, and the food was absolutely delicious! What made the experience even better was the owner, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming when I picked up my order. Highly recommend!

Food was so good and the service was top notch! I will definitely recommend it to anyone!!!

Love this Mom & Pop style restaurant. The owner comes to greet you & make you feel welcomed. And the food is great!!

Riccardo’s Pizza went above and beyond for me tonight! The fact that the owner made fresh strawberry crunch cannolis on the spot, even when they were sold out, speaks volumes about their dedication to customer satisfaction. This kind of personalized service is what makes local businesses like Riccardo’s so special. You made my husband one happy camper, thank you again 🍓🍰

If you are anywhere near Pemberton or Browns Mills New Jersey you will want to go out of your way to eat at this one-of-a-kind amazing restaurant. Don't let the name fool you. This is not your ordinary pizzeria. This is the best Italian food made with genuine true love and the freshest most quality ingredients I have ever tasted. This is coming from a foodie from Savannah with a discerning palette. Visiting my boyfriend's family last weekend, we went to the neighborhood pizza joint Riccardo's on Friday for lunch. The contagious vibe of positive happy people right there in the open bustling kitchen and the smell of the pizza-by-the-slice displayed as you walk in the door wasn't the first thing I noticed, it was the desserts in the display cabinet that got me, all handmade cannolis and goodie covered fresh made cheesecakes and things I'd never seen before had me drooling....it all looked so fresh. The menu had so many options I didn't know what to pick, but for $20 I got a dinner sized salad and the best chicken piccata I've ever had. The plates are enormous portions that could feed two if you're willing to share. With so many options it was hard to decide what to get but our waiter Josh took our order in stride. My house vinaigrette was handmade and came in an adorable little mini soup pot, all fresh chopped ingredients, not some bottled stuff. Perfection. The garlic knots were out of this world so naturally when asked what we should have for dinner I was ready for round two at Riccardo's. When we came back the place was packed. Despite the parking lot being almost full and the restaurant in full swing everyone in the open kitchen was still in a fantastic mood, happily welcomed us in and once again I looked into the dessert display. They said "if you want something that's not in here, Vino will whip it up for you! " We were immediately seated surprisingly and our waitress Becky approached us with a level of happiness you don't often see on people at work! This time I went the dinner route and ordered the muscles over linguine in white wine garlic sauce which hands down, rivalled the fancy seafood restaurants in the south and I'm a muscle girl. My other table mates had a tour of Italy and a parmigiana that were hand breaded and the best sauce and flavor I have ever tasted. The owner Vino came to our table bearing gifts; just a little something he whipped up in the moment that night: a cheezy bruschetta with black garlic, sliced mini tomatoes, onion and olives with a honey drizzle-not even on the menu- enough for us each to have one to taste while we waited. Incredible. He treated us like family. Naturally we were stuffed, so we got our desert to go. Walking to the car I waved back at the staff saying goodnight! who made us feel like family. Even after a long busy Friday service there was Vito, the owner, buzzing around, tending to the basil and hugging people goodbye. Despite the impeccable service, delicious, quality food and insane desert the atmosphere was very comfortable, family friendly, clean and refreshing and the fresh basil garden really made this my top five places to eat in America. In fact, we even ordered a pie to go on our last night in town because why not? I can't wait to go back to Riccardo's. Thank you sincerely, every one for making us feel at home. P.S. the T-shirts are hilarious

No matter how many times we eat here it’s always consistent. Great food, great service and great owner. Highly recommend if you ever want a great meal

Great food and customer service

Riccardo introduced himself to me and my friends. He was very professional and welcoming. We even got to meet his family! Wonderful service and beautiful family !

I’m here at JBMDL and decided to come to Riccardo’s for dinner. I’m so glad I did! This place is absolutely amazing. One of the best pizza places I’ve been to. And the owner and his family are so kind, very hospitable staff! I will definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent and the owner was extremely friendly, he often came by to personally check on and cater to us.

After visiting Riccardo's several times in the past few weeks, we've always had excellent service. Having tried a few items on the menu, we have not been disappointed at all! Vito, the owner is amazing. Greets every patron as family. The staff is awesome! I cannot say enough about this place! It's a must see restaurant and chances are you'll be pleasantly surprised by it all. My wife and I were there tonight and they were hosting a party of 65 and still managed to have us seated within minutes. Riccardos is our new go-to place for a night out for dinner. Shout out to Becky and Amber, they have the perfect personalities and make the trip that much more appreciated.

The absolute best! A must stop if you’re in the area!

Great food and service is unmatched. Owner is very personable and welcoming.

We stopped in to Riccardo’s again this evening for dinner. This restaurant truly never disappoints! Everything we have tried has always been positively delicious! The restaurant is beautiful, there’s rarely ever a wait (and if there is, it’s very very short), and the staff is wonderful! The owner, Vito, always greets us with a warm smile and a hand shake. Twice now he has personally made us an appetizer on the house and surprised us with it at our table. We will be coming back as frequently as possible. Highly recommended this restaurant! One of our absolute favorites!

Amazing experience. These guys go above and beyond to offer a great experience. Pizza was outstanding! Tomato pie second to none

Absolutely the best pizza! Not just in town, anywhere!! Vito is awesome and does so much for the community.

Top notch food....Becky is the absolute best server. She is a cutie too.

We were in the area from Washington State to visit family. Everything about this place is amazing! The food is incredible; it’s probably the best Italian food we’ve had, and the staff is amazing. We definitely recommend this restaurant!

Service and food were both incredible! I went with a group of fellow soldiers from my unit and the owner and staff were incredibly accommodating with free food and plenty of attention. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family!

Love the variety of meals Always delicious. Great friendly staff always enjoy talking to them

Great customer service, mouth-watering pizzas

The food is amazing, highly recommend the brown mills pizza with pepperoni, The service is great, and the atmosphere is nice not to loud not to quiet, and the restrooms are clean which is always respectable !

Seriously one of the best pizzas I have eaten in my life. I recommend the Brown Mills Tomato Pie with sausage. Vito, is a great guy and supports his military members. Give this place a try! It is worth your time!

Grew up on Trenton tomato pies since the 70’s. We came out here to Ricardo’s because we were familiar with the willingboro plaza one and Beverly one. Which I by surprised was informed by the owner they were not the same. I want to say he said they were related or maybe just friends. Here nor there I want to say Ricardo’s was totally awesome!!! We had the browns mill tomato pie. And my man has it down!! Great pie!! A must. I can’t wait to go try his grandmoms pie too!! We ll be back out there. That area should be proud to have such a great establishment out there. Great food and seems like a great family that’s been running it since 1974. You can tell they POUR their heart and soul into it. It’s a must try.

I don’t understand why everyone raves about this place. Food was horrible.

Dinner for a girls night was a lot of fun - pizza and appetizers were good and the Oreo Blast, delicious. Becky waited on us and she was the best!

Grandma pizza *mwah* chefs kiss.

There will not be enough space to write nor will my sad attempts at photos do it justice. I am NOT a "pizza" person. Yes, its fine as convenience food but I am old and particular now. I LOVE thin crust, exceptional flavors, light cheese and this restaurant had these at supreme quality without my even having to sound like I am that high maintenance. The Tomato pie was SO delicious. We got a fresh caprese salad with their house- made mozzarella and the most amazing bread we never got pictures of because it was so good! Becky was absolutely amazing - we arrived when the place was packed, every table occupied and she not only got every order to right person (6 of us!) she made is so much FUN! She was incredibly efficient while being friendly, accommodating and just plain happy. And oh man were her dessert suggestions spot-on! Highly recommend making the trip if you have not! I am not local but I will drive for that pizza. Prices were great, its BYO and ample parking. Loved it!

Absolutely amazing. Had the chicken parm with vodka sauce pizza, was in shock how good it was.

Visited again after nearly 20 years and the place still holds up. Family and I ate here almost every Thursday night from 2003 to 2006. Visiting the area today with a friend, there was no question as to where to get dinner. My concerns that I had been overly generous in my recollection were swiftly put to rest—the garlic knots are an experience. Penne vodka had the taste it’s supposed to have. Portion sizes are generous, but not wastefully so. The best way I can sum up Riccardo’s: when they heard I’d be in Browns Mills, my family members asked me to bring a pizza back to Delaware with me. I put that thing into an insulated bag and drove it 2 hours, across two bridges, to my parent’s house—where it was received as the delicious prize it is (and still warm).

My family and I use Riccardo’s for special occasions and weekly pizza nights and each time never fails to impress. The pizza is the best in the area. We have tried a couple of pizza places in the area and Riccardo’s is our preferred place. The staff and atmosphere are welcoming as soon as you walk through their doors. This past week, I tried their cannolis for the first time and it did not disappoint. If you are looking for a place to try, please give Riccardo’s a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Recently we had our bowling league party here and all I can say everything was delicious. We had sat with the owner Vito and he helped us pick out our menu items. Everyone that was there completely enjoyed themselves and loved the food. I would also like to mention his staff especially Becky and the girls who really did an excellent job of taking care of us. I would highly recommend Riccardo's to everyone.

First time. Drove from Mount Laurel. 35min. DEFINITELY worth the trip. We will be coming bank. Had the famous Browns Mills tomato pie and a Chicken Parm sandwich. EVERYTHING WAS EXCEPTIONAL!!! 5+ stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+!!
