I love a great slice of pizza or really any sort of Italian style bread with meats and cheese covered in sauce. So this is why Rico's in Englewood, CO is worth the drive. Rico's Pizzeria(http://ricos-pizzeria.com/) has been a main stay in Englewood for 27 years. Located just a few blocks from the Gothic Theater, this family run Italian joint pleases the pallate every time.
With their 'cash or check' only policy, the small restraurant, which holds roughly 30 diners, has a high traffice to-go business. My first visit was one to remember. Before heading to a show at the Gothic, we stopped in for a quick bite. The service is by far the fastest in Denver and the pleasent wait staff is at the ready for any request. After a round of apps and bread, the piping hot calzone, smothered with sauce and cheese, came to the table. One bite in and I thought that I might cry it was so good. Then I tried the cheesecake, truly the perfect end to the meal.
Since that first visit I have been back 3 more times. This last time we called in a to-go order and then had it deliverd by a dear friend (thank you JoJo). This was the perfect mid-week lunch break. Even after the drive the food was hot and delicious.
Thank you Rico for keeping your doors open to serve the masses the town's best calzones and tasty pizza at a crazy reasonable price.
Tip: If you hav emore than 6 people in your party, you will be split amongst the open tables at the restaurant. Bring your cash to pay!
Best meal: Fried mushrooms w/ ranch, garlic bread, Meatball Calzone - smothered, and a slice of cheescake.
