The other day a friend and I were driving around town trying to decide where to eat... It was one of those days where you're not really in the mood for one specific thing, and anything you have had before you're not in the mood for either; so it was the PERFECT day to try a new restaurant! I had been driving by Rigazzi's Pizza for a few months now and had just never stopped in, so that's where we decided to get lunch!
When we pulled up we were super excited to try out this new pizza place... I don't know about you, but eating Pizza Hut, Papa Johns and Little Caesar's gets a little dull after a while. We walked in and where instantly overwhelmed by a GIANT menu board of all different kinds of pizza! It was neat how they had their menu up on the wall but could get a little hectic if it was really crowded. We decided on the Margherita pizza and decided to add sausage as an extra topping. After we ordered we grabbed our table number and went to find a spot.
While we were chillin' and waiting for our pizza, we noticed that there were quite a few people getting their cupcakes! I was pretty surprised at this because I would not expect a pizza place to carry cupcakes, let alone GOOD cupcakes! But we decided that after our pizza we would have to indulge and try some out!
Our pizza arrived very quickly (10 minutesish) and it looked delicious! We dove in, not knowing what to expect, but we were VERY pleased!!! We both instantly fell in LOVE with the pizza and decided after the first bite that we were going to be coming back for sure! It was soooooooooooooooo... etc. good! I was actually disappointed in myself that I had not stopped and tried it sooner!
After devouring most of the pizza we did decide to get two cupcakes... They also did not disappoint! I decided to get a red velvet cupcake, and my guest diner ordered a chocolate cupcake with seasalt caramel frosting! Delicious! I may even be so bold to say that they were better than Jones Bros. Cupcakes! WHOA! I know... But I just don't really care for Jones Bros... Sorry! Too much frosting for me! BUT, these were pretty nicely balanced and more simple, the flavors weren't all that weird or different and it was something to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Here's the rating I would give Rigazzi's Pizza:
Cost: We ordered a 12 inch specialty pizza and added a topping, plus two drinks and the total came to about $18.00, not bad for a dine-in specialty with extra toppings; and we couldn't finish the whole pizza by ourselves, there were about 3 pieces left over (which my guest diner took home and got to enjoy the next day).
Cleanliness: Great! Nothing out of the ordinary to report here!
Care: Wonderful! The manager of the place came around and asked us how we were enjoying the pizza and a waitress came and asked us how we were enjoying the experience; since it was our first time!
Atmosphere: The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for how many people were in the building; both of us noticed this as we were enjoying the pizza... The restaurant as a whole probably seats 150 - 200 people, they have two party rooms that would be great for get-togethers with large groups! The feel of the restaurant is very family friendly!
Here's a link to the menu if you want to check it out!
I would rate this restaurant a 9.5 out of 10 stars! The only thing I found a little strange was the placement of their menu. On a busy day this would get really crowded and uncomfortable trying to figure out what to order; other than that there was nothing to complain about!
I would definitely recommend trying out Rigazzi's!! It's a great family-oriented place and is super laid back. They offer a kid's menu, but I do not think you would want to go there and order chicken fingers... The pizza is too good!!
Here is the address, website link, and phone number of Rigazzi's Pizza, I hope you give it a try!! They also offer take-out if you are in a pinch for time and just want to stop in and grab your food to go! Bon Appetit!
