The restaurant can accommodate large groups, children’s parties, fundraisers, live music and outdoor dining.

It also offers a dedicated carry-out order section to streamline takeout and delivery services, and ample parking.

The opening of the new franchise is a collaboration with a group from the Fairfield County area that brings together 80 years of business leadership and operational expertise.  

Westport franchisee Rodd Salvatore said: “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.  

“Our children have grown up eating Riko’s pizza after sporting events, at family parties and on 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 organisation for their trust and leadership.” 

Riko’s Pizza hosted a ribbon-cutting opening ceremony on 19 November 2024. Attendees included by Rodd Salvatore and Riko’s Pizza CEO Rico Imbrogno.

In July 2024, Riko’s Pizza opened its first Massachusetts location in Dartmouth – the brand’s tenth establishment.
