NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riko's Pizza ("Riko's" or the "Company"), a highly differentiated tavern-style pizza—or 'bar pie'—franchise concept, is excited to announce a new corporate-owned location coming soon to Naples, Florida. The new, 3,500 square foot location at 8710 Addison Place Drive, situated at the intersection of Collier Boulevard and Immokalee Road, is now in the final stages of construction, with a planned grand opening scheduled for October.

"Naples, get ready—Riko's is coming soon to Florida's Gulf Coast to take your pizza options to a whole new level," said Rico Imbrogno, founder and CEO of Riko's Pizza. "Naples has been an important place to my family for decades, with my wife's parents calling it home for many years. It means a great deal to me to bring the brand to this beautiful community, which has never had anything like Riko's in the area. I look forward to officially introducing the west coast of Florida to the Riko's brand later this year and serving its residents and guests for years to come!"

The new Naples restaurant will feature Riko's full-service restaurant and bar concept, offering the brand's craveable menu of super-thin crust bar pies, oven-roasted wings, made-to-order salads, tasty shareables, and fan-favorite desserts. The establishment will include a large bar with 20 stools, staffed by experienced bartenders serving Riko's extensive selection of craft beers, wines, and specialty cocktails.

"Florida is a key market in Riko's growth strategy, and this is a significant development for us as an organization and brand," said Carl Bachmann, President and COO of Riko's Pizza. "An important next step is now establishing a presence on the Gulf Coast, and there is no better place to start than Naples. With its bustling busy season and growing year-round population, it presents a great opportunity for Riko's to lay down its roots and become a staple in the local restaurant scene."
