Riko’s Pizza plans Norwalk, Westport expansions

Riko’s Pizza, the Stamford-based chain with franchises nation-wide that serve their signature thin crust pies, has announced plans for new locations closer to home.

A new Riko’s is planned for Westport, at 60 Charles Street, while a take-out only location in Norwalk will relocate to 85 New Canaan Avenue. The new location will enable serving both Norwalk and New Canaan, while also expanding the space and gaining a full bar.

“Westport is not only one of the most dynamic markets in Connecticut, but one of the top suburban markets for restaurant operators anywhere in the country,” said Rico Imbrogno, co-founder and CEO of Riko’s Pizza. “This new location is going to be awesome. High ceilings, a huge bar, dozens of tables with enough seating for 140 guests, and the classic Riko’s décor mixed with large TVs from wall to wall. Westport simply does not have anything like Riko’s Pizza, and we are so excited to bring our delicious tavern-style pizza and ‘neighborhood joint’ atmosphere even closer to the town’s vibrant residents who have come to love our brand through our other locations in Fairfield County.”
