Generous portions of Italian comfort food in a strip-mall counter-serve with takeout & delivery.
Great food, solid prices and good service. Lived up to the ratings. Got a pizza, hot wings, and steak sandwich. All of which were great. Would definitely go back if in the area.
This is in the hear of Italian Woodbridga. and operated by an Italian family. This place is always busy with a line-up of about 8-10 minutes. The decor is clean and flush with provocative Italian gusto triggering thoughts of Tuscan villas and even compelling you into daydreaming of piazzas and summer festivals. The pizza and panzarotti are great! I ordered a large panzarotti, and it was a full meal and then some. The veal sandwiches are good, but there is too much bread for the amount of veal for my liking. Conductive to the area rents, don't expect a discount menu. However, given the quality and portions, it is reasonable. The pizza slice of the day is a great deal. The staff is friendly and attentive and does a great job at keeping the place clean. There is lots of parking and seconds from the highway 400 ramps. All seats have great window view to enjoy the exotic and luxury cars as the pull in. Given the patrons, expect to strike up a friendly conversation in Italian with someone sitting nearby.
Ricci's Pizzeria & Sandwich Shoppe is a Woodbridge institution, serving up classic Italian-American comfort food in generous portions for over 30 years. This family-run spot offers a massive menu with everything from pizza and pasta to panzerotti and wings, making it a great option for satisfying a variety of cravings. The veal sandwich is a standout, featuring tender, flavorful meat piled high on a soft bun with bright tomato sauce and sweet onions. Their panzerotti are also highly recommended, boasting a crispy crust and savory filling. While the pizza might not be the absolute best in the city, it's still a solid choice with a good variety of toppings. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. Service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. Whether you're a longtime local or just visiting the area, Ricci's is definitely worth checking out for a taste of homestyle Italian goodness.
I purchased the "veal sandwich". The size was about 4 x 4 inches, with about 4 slices of veal. Size wise it was decent but flavor and bread was absolutely nothing special, especially for $14.13 after tax. The service was lackluster, but they did have ample space for sitting. As well as accept debit, cash and credit, including AMEX. Ultimately, I probably wouldn't return unless it was to try their pizza.
We had the veal sandwich and pizza and they were both very good. The pizza looks like a thick crust but it's super fluffy and soft with a crispy under carriage. I really liked the procedure after you walk in and order you can sit down and they call your name while bringing your food to you.
This place has a huge menu, and perfect for everyone. I got the chicken Alfredo, it was really creamy, and came with 2 pieces of bread. The prices are reasonable, and portion size is huge. Service is also fast and the waitress kindly brought us a whole cup of black pepper when we asked for some. This is my second time here & I can’t recommend it enough, best Italian comfort spot!!
Lovely family owned business with an extensive menu of pizzas, pastas and other Italian dishes. We enjoyed the ravioli and spaghetti, as well as all the sauces they had to offer. The vodka sauce was delicious paired with the ravioli. The service was also amazing with the line moving very quickly and the food being brought out in a timely manner.
Excellent excellent gluten free pizza! Really the best gluten free pizza you will find! I had just cheese and had to ask again if it really was gluten free. You need to try it! The veal sandwich I was told was good, not the best, and not the biggest sandwich! You order your food at the counter and if you eat in they will bring it to your table. Overall good place.
Friendly, family run business who offers delicious pizza and sandwiches. Do yourself a favour and try it out! The pizza crust is crispy but soft and pillowy and the crust is delicious. The toppings are fresh and delicious; no frozen toppings here. We ll be back when we are in town.
The pizza had very good quality and the service was fast.
Great atmosphere. Food is italian and very tasty especially the pizza. And veal sandwiches. Recommend.
Some days ago I bought a pepperoni pizza, it was very delicious, I recommend this place, the pizza is really nice
Excellent pizza and Italian foods. Generous portions. Ample parking
Anytime you want great pizzas, pasta, salads or sandwiches this is the place to go or order. Love it every time I go in town.
Up there for one of the best panzerotti, wings here to me are the best! Penne la vodka is incredible!
this place is decent, pizza s okay and the sandwiches aren t bad either i the steak wrap is kinda weak very basic wouldn t order that ever again.
A favorite for over ten years. IMHO, best chicken parm sandwich in the GTA and the slices are mighty fine too. When Im in a glutton mood, I eat a slice on the way home and then kill a sangwich in the comfort of my home. Then I let the food coma take over. Food : 5/5
It was okay. I must say the pizza looked good. Will have to go back to try something different. Young staff polite and efficient.
Dedicated staff, family friendly environment and delicious food! Love the way this restaurant is serving people from many decades! Food

Fantastic food Very large portions Food
update: after initially giving two stars on my first visit and revisiting riccis today in a pinch, im downgrading it to just one star, and its not even worth that. for the almost $70 it cost for our three dishes, i came away thinking it was barely above high school cafetria quality- in some ways actually worse-, and both of us also got sick within an hour of leaving. the pastas were pretty much soups today- it was busy, so i get everyones in a rush in the kitchen, but let the pasta and sauce emulsify a bit longer... its not at all appetizing the way we were served both our vodka and carbonara sauces today- and the carbonara is a far cry from the dish its named after. how this place has such a high rating and remains so busy in the middle of woodbridge no less is completely beyond me- maybe for young families with little kids its good enough, but it really, truly, is bottom-tier food. never again. original review: ive driven by probably hundreds of times, but somehow only recently gave actually eating here a thought. when a close friend raved about it, i had to go. the photos here in the reviews looked great i thought, so i was really looking forward to my first time, but came away pretty disappointed. of the five dishes we ordered, only one was decent (at best). i dont know, it all just tasted like the most low-effort version of the dish it was supposed to represent- much like banquet hall food. it seems to be a high volume spot, so i can appreciate maybe some corners are cut, or maybe not the best ingredients. i will say its decent value for the portion size, and i totally appreciate its a local staple- fits the express family restaurant vibe well. ill probably even end up eating there again, tbh, but really nothing to write home about. much prefer the pizza and past (and everything else we had) elsewhere.
*Disappointing Experience at Riccis Pizzeria* I gave Riccis Pizzeria a second chance after a subpar first visit, but unfortunately, my experience didnt improve. Last weeks fish pasta was overwhelming, with a strong fishy smell and a sauce dominated by oregano and black pepper. This time, my husband and I ordered: - Penne ala vodka - Chicken fettuccine Alfredo - Small margarita pizza Unfortunately, both sauces were watery, and the pizza was a greasy, undercooked disappointment that resembled a Costco pizza. Not what I expect from a pizzeria. Save yourself the trouble and head to Costco instead. Youll eat better and spend less.
Amazing Italian food! Weirdly fast food-ish style ordering, but called out by name delivery to your table. Staff is great, very willing to help in any way to make your meal enjoyable. Absolutely LOVED the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo...
Walked in 20 minutes before closing with my family. But they wouldnt allow me to sit down for dinner. They offered me take out. Owners must be swimming in money!!! Or employees are running the place now. I took my business where its appreciated. Unfortunately Riccis wont be my first choice.
Staff were great, pasta was delicious and panzerotti very good.
The food is terrific, great taste, truly delicious , the service is great when ordering, but the wait can be a killer, waited 30mins for a veal sandwich after our pizza was ready.
Slices !!!
So good
I ordered party size pizza, well done. Pizza was soggy, and the ingredients were small portions. Not enough sauce and cheese
Fried panzerotti, veal sandwich and party size pizza are my 3 best choices. The place for dining in is not the greatest, I usually take out. As a suggestion, working hours during the week can be extended on evenings.
I always call ahead to order my 2 lbs wings and a baked panzo. Been coming here for years and their flavour still is one of the best in my opinion.
Ricci s Pizza is amazing! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Their crust is just the right mix of crispy and chewy, and the toppings are generous and high-quality. The staff are friendly and efficient, making every visit enjoyable. Whether you re dining in or taking out, Ricci s never disappoints. Easily one of the best pizza spots around! Highly recommend!
Great Staff. The pizza, Wings and chicken parm sandwich were delicious
very busy place but worth the wait
Big portions fair prices, delicious.
I can only comment on Riccis pizza, panzarotti and salad, which my husband and I had. There was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. The food was well-made and delicious. The only issue with our dine-in experience was the blaring music. The music was so loud it was impossible to hold a conversation or allow time to savour the excellent food since we couldnt wait to leave.
Very good and fresh food
BEST PANZO EVER !! In the GTA Sometimes gets loud inside but the food is amazing Food
First time there for lunch today. Had a hot veal sandwich and shared a Calabrese slice of pizza. The sandwich was enormous and authentic. I took half home with me. Pizza was top notch. Fresh ingredients, delicious sauce, nice crust. The atmosphere was very casual. Its set up to move people in and out. My friend and I stayed over an hour and did not feel rushed. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Prices were reasonable. Recommend.
The best chicken wings ever.
I only had a slice of pepperoni. There was little to no sauce. Crust was comparable to a frozen pizza. Not impressed
Got a take out chicken parm sandwich. On top of tasting delicious it was huge. Had to save a portion for later. Woodbridge staple
The panzerotti is something to definitely fill your appetite
You better go hungry. The portions are big and yummy, friendly staff, and fast service.
Been going here for over 10 years and can genuinely say Ive never been disappointed.
Pizza, the
Pretty Busy on the weekend, nice portion size for the pasta dishes, enjoyed my visit there
They are charging extra , I will never go this restaurant again.
Food was a bit too salty for my taste bud. Large portions. Very filling.
Personally, we think the best pizza, and anything they sell! Salads ,wings, can go and on! DELICIOUS!
I love the panzerotti!!! Baked and with the meet sauce
Me and my uncle stopped here stop here twice a week for lunch during work, it gets a bit packed around lunch time, but even then the service is very quick and the staff are very polite, I always get the veal sandwich and Greek solid and its the best Ive ever had.
I ordered a steak sandwich and a slice. Havent been here since when Covid restrictions were in effect and now I remember why! I came back to see if my last experience was a one off. Half of my steak sandwich had one bacon thin piece of steak and the other half had three thin slices. Onion sandwich would be a more appropriate name as there was 3x more onion than steak. I thought it was just my steak but looking at pictures in other reviews I see that aint the case. I dont know if thats the new norn but for a buck or two more you can get 4 to 5 times the meat at California sandwiches down the street and the meat tastes so much better. As for the slice, it was nice and thick, the sauce was good but the cheese tasted like something that came from a jar and is spread with a knife. The pepperoni was very thin and hard to taste. Wont be going back. The dining room was full, maybe its just me but Ill stick to California Sandwiches at Plaza del Sol and Pizzaville just up the road on Rutherford.
Finally tried Ricci s for lunch and was impressed. This place gets busy so if you have limited time, call ahead and place your order. I enjoyed a custom calzone.
Very good quality pizza and sandwiches. We really really enjoyed our time and food. Service is also amazing and staff are very friendly. This place is highly recommended. The taste of the pizza is unmatched. You enjoy every slice. We were very happy and will certainly be back again. Vegetarian options: Pizza can be easily customized to vegetarian Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian options. Parking: Easy parking in the lot Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible to wheelchair
Delicious
Good pizza, great wings. Busy and crowded on a Friday night. A bit noisy. Overall very good. Worth a return visit.
Great food
Great food, the panzerotti are one of the best ones Ive had.
The pizza dough was as tasteless as cardboard, and the tomato sauce lacked any flavor. This pizza is simply not good. Even pizza from Pizza Pizza or Pizza Nova is far superior to this abomination of a pizza!
Pizza is OK. Nothing super special. Price is fair.
I am very pleased because the food is very good, all fresh and excellent service. I have been visiting this place for 11 years. Thank you
Amazing atmosphere for dine in. Lots of great food options to choose from.
Pizza was
Great all around !
First time customer..meat balls and pizza were very good! Panzaroti was good. The Arancini where very disappointing. Not home made .very heavy and the rice was yellow. Something to improve upon.
First time there the girl on front cash very friendly food was good nice place to eat will definitely be going back
Anything I get here is 10/10. Best wraps, pizza, chicken wings ever had in life! I m willing to drive 40 minutes to come here. Service and atmosphere depends on how busy they are, it s loud and crowded but they are usually really busy for a reason.
Excellent made to order fresh pasta. You have the choice of multiple sauces, different pasta, protein, or vegetable ingredients.
Great Italian food, plenty of choice, clean, and fairly priced. The Chicken Parm Sandwich was incredible. Pizza looks mouth watering and I would absolutely come again.
Best place cant ask for better anything on the menu is
Its a comforting and casual spot. The prices are fair, and the food is good! I really enjoy their panzerotti and rice balls with meat sauce. The veggie sandwich was surprisingly good. I would skip the chicken parm sandwich , it was a little disappointing IMO!
This will be my second attempt at a review. The first one was a 5 star, this one isn t any different. The only thing that bothers me is not the restaurant or the staff. It s the customers who dine in. First thing is that Ricci s doesn t force anyone to tip. Never once was I passed the machine asking for a tip. Dine in or takeout. The least you uneducated people can do is clean your table when you finish. They have a cart there to leave your dishes and a garbage to throw your garbage out. It s pretty simple, clearly your parents failed at raising you animals. Ricci s, keep up with the great food and service.
Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza, panzerotti, salads Food
Best Italian cutlet sandwich around!
I ordered a pizza at Riccis, and now I know why its always busy. The sauce on the Pizza, the crust, and the toppings are all top notch. Their Sangawiches are amazing, as well as the pasta!! Very highly recommended.
Add more salt on the veal sandwiches but love the portion size. Label bathroom area not an exit.
Came at 7:30pm , I understand you close at 8pm but perhaps wait until all of your guest leave before you start stacking chairs.
Good value for good pasta in a casual setting.
I haven t been to Ricci s in years! I used to frequent this place before they renovated. The renovation looks nice and the pasta still tastes amazing! The rigatoni alla vodka and angolotti rose are my go to. The prices have gone up quite a bit since I ve been here, but it s obvious that prices went up everywhere.
Great Pizza & Wings. Highly Recommend.
I just called to place an order and the kind lady on the phone was amazingly helpful. Emma mauro was a pleasure to help me with my order !!
Favorite place to get panzerotti with meat sauce.
We got couple pasta plates which were awesome and the pizza was just as awesome.Great food all around
Love the food. Casual atmosphere. Busy place
I have been going to Riccis for years for daddy daughter nights. Food is excellent and nice size portions
Busy place so its better to pick up than get delivery. Great pizza. Have not tried sandwiches yet.
Great find. Food was wicked. Prices are good too. Highly recommend a stop, you won t be disappointed. Not far from Canada s Wonderland and shopping. 2nd visit - Still delicious! Still great sizes.
If youre ever in the area and looking for Nonnas comfort food you absolutely must visit Riccis. This staple is home to all of your favourites and can be enjoyed on demand. Service is always quick and efficient however Ive noticed on busy days the girls up front can get a little frazzled. This is understandable as people can tie up the phone lines with numlperious questions
I love their casual dining for tasty Italian food. Good portion sizes never leave you hungry
Pretty cool restaurant atmosphere. I was surprised there seemed to be no way to order online . not a big deal though. The pizza was below average in my opinion, but my son loved it, so I split the difference on my review. The crust was quite crispy, and the pepperonis tasted odd and had a weird texture - that may be where ruined it for me.
Today was my first time having Ricci s and I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and I instantly fell in love. Best meal ever. You will definitely be seeing me again !!!!!
Great food....be prepared to repeat your order when you pre-order at the cash. Other than that, all good! The family that runs it is friendly and helpful for catering events, too! Vegetarian options: Vwggie pizza and salads with Arancini (Rice balls)
I m not typically a complainer but this was by far the worst steak sandwich I ever ate. I really mean when I say if next time someone offered it to me for free I wouldn t eat it. My honest opinion
Good food and nice eat in area as well with friendly service staff.
One of the best pizzas in Woodbridge
Everything in this menu is incredible but the pizza is to die for! Portions are huge and prices are reasonable.
Had the fettuccine carbonara and got food poisoning
One of the best pizza and sandwiches places! Great food and wonderful
In my opinion Riccis pizza isnt the best nor are the sandwiches there are a lot better places to eat in the area. Parking: Too many to count.
Celebrating at Riccis Pizza was a joy from start to finish. The panzerotti, crispy and flavorful, paired perfectly with sauce on the side. BBQ wings were a hit, and the penne pasta with rose sauce was creamy perfection. Hot, fresh, and delicious, Riccis Pizza is a must-visit for any occasion.
Always tasty and fresh!
When I went I ordered over the phone and went in to pay as normal. I waited for over 30 min for my food and I got restless so I began to snoop around the orders that were sitting on the ledge to see if any were mine .. and there it was. Not one person told me it was there, the girls at the cash did not Mention it and i wasted time watching employees walk past me countless times and not acknowledge me either. It was sad and disappointing to see.
Delicious pizza, highly recommend! Will be going back!!
Yesh its very yummy tasty its a wonderful gare experience to visit this store in tabuk (saudhi Arabia).......!!! Dont miss it guys lets visit this richi pizza
Best food, great place to eat 100%
The panzerotti is incredible
The best pizza in Ontario. Thats it.
Great Italian food. Yummy. We had chicken wings, ceasar salad and a panzeroti, delicious.
I really like the lasagna here , and veal sandwich also the wings are huge
Love the food. Awesome place!
Amazing food, amazing service. If you want a good Pizza this is the place to go. Always satisfied!
I understand now why they say it is a Woodbridge classic and a must try, the panzerottis are amazing and the pizzas taste delicious and fresh aswell as the huge chicken wings!
For some reason, the purchased individual pizza Slice is much better than the ordered full pizza. Large Pizza wasnt anything extraordinary more than a dry Dominos pizza. My apologies, I wish the best for this establishment, just my opinions. Everyone always try and gauge your your opinion, as I always do. This review is mine, please try out and see, this place might suit you taste.
Good pizza as always
To the owner, speak to your staff who answer the phones and teach them how to speak to customers . If they hate their job so much they should get another one but they probably can t get another one because they are useless ! Also food has gone downhill what a disappointment .
I have been twice and the food has been incredible both times. We manage to get a seat after a short wait, and the staff are quick to wipe down the table and remove the plates from the previous guests. I cant wait to visit again! Food
Great pizza and ponzos every time.
Ordered the grilled vegetable sandwich and was disappointed. They were chopped and fried, other than bits of red pepper, seemed like they used the toppings you put on the sandwiches. A big soggy mess and not flavorful.
Memories of my childhood
Long line out the door at peak hours. Line moves pretty quick. They will bring the food to your table if you chose to dine in. Had a friend panzerotti. Just cheese is one price and every added topping is $1 extra. I had pepperoni onions and olives. It was excellent. Would go again to try more. Very reasonably priced for the portion size.
Ricci s chicken wings are #1!!!!!
Our go to Pizzeria when we are in Vaughan. Always good! Look at the size of the panzerotti and it was delicious! Food
Amazing food, amazing service. What more do you want? OH!
Very disappointed with the meatball sandwich I received. Honestly, worst Ive ever had in my life. Quality of meat was beyond poor. Large hard bits that could not be chewed. Waste of money. Will not return.
What happened to this place really disappointing Used to be so good and totally went down hill Pizza dough was raw Cheese was mushy Just a total dissapointment
Sandwiches were tasteless and overpriced. Panzzeroti looked good when I seen it getting served, but again with 3 toppings and $25 later.
Low the food the low prices and the staff Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options Parking: Plaza
Little hectic, decently long wait time, but the Sandwich and Panzo we ordered were great.
Great menu and cute spot. It has sit in dining, but youd order and then go find a seat. You know this place is good since the customers kept coming, but this also meant getting our food also took a while. Portions are plenty and staff is great, the wait is worth while
First time here Great place to eat out italian food pastas, sandwiches and pizzas are good but the prices are a bit expensive well worth it.
Old school Italian pizzeria in the heart of Woodbridge offering the best of home cooking and belly busting sandwiches.
Amazing
The food is absolutely amazing!! Their pizza is a must! Great service! Food
This food is god sent makes u feel like nana made it all the staff are so kind
Very very salty veal. Next time Ill try the panzo
2 hours for delivery, cold food, horrible service such a shame that this establishment has gone the way it has, it use to be so good
Great service, the best panzarotti
Pizza is fantastic, panzo is Huge and its always freshly prepared, I highly recommend, best in Woodbridge!
