Ricca Brothers Brick Oven Pizza

It’s so tough to review this place. We are LONG time customers through their open-closed-open-closed-open status. Years ago, we used to pop in for cupcakes and pies and bread and milk and eggs and pizza dough and so forth. Their most recent manifestation yields the same great pizza they sold during Stage Two (or actually three, if you count Vet’s Sunrise . However, their new policies are bizarre and they are not accommodating. For example, at present anyway, you cannot purchase a large pizza to eat there at the store. Large pizzas are for take-out only. “Why?” I asked. After all, we have four kids, so we normally get two to three large pizzas. No rationale was provided. I can only assume that now that they have a liquor license, they want to make money on plated meals and alcohol, not families or a group of four or more splitting pizzas. When I went to place a large order today, I was told that I could not split toppings on my large pie. (My kids don’t like the mushrooms, but I do. I was also told that they would NOT be able to NOT put parmesan cheese on the tomato pie (my husband is vegan. “Why?” I asked. Because they would have to make a new pizza. I kid you not. They were going to sell us a premade pizza and were unwilling to make a new one. Well, I’m pretty disappointed because I love their pizzas and their new drink menu looks fun, but I’m not sure I can in good conscience patronize a business so unaccommodating to long-time customers. We regularly patronize other places anyway, like Bruni’s and Mario’s and Nino’s and Brother’s, so I would unfortunately recommend that you take your business elsewhere.

Dined in tonight, so glad I did. I called ahead to request a table for 6. Everything was set when we arrived. The place smelled amazing of a wood fire. Its clean and has a nice atmosphere. We had 2 pizza's which were phenomenal. The crust was fantastic. The buffalo chicken ranch was amazing. Prices were very reasonable. Selection was excellent. We also had the Italian cheese steak which was on their own home made bread.The brick oven is in view so I sent my 3 young kids over to watch the magic happen. The chef spoke with them and answered their questions as he worked. Several staff interacted with them and the owner gave them each a ball of dough and let them roll them out and then he made them into little pizzas to take home.We got 5 different cannolis which were all different flavors, made at a local cannoli shop. The blueberry was one of the best I've ever had. And the shells were crisp as though they had just been made. Not soggy at all.Please support this local business. It would be a sad day in South Jersey for Ricca Brother's Pizzeria to close its doors due to Governor Murphy's draconian covid regulations!

Food is delicious. I never get refills on my drinks and it takes forever to get the check. I gave it 5 star because the food is worth it.
