Don't judge a book by its cover, you'll miss this place if you aren't looking for it. But trust me,…read moreyou do not want to miss it. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and whether you sit inside or outside, you're in for something special. Now for the best part... the pizza. We eat pizza about once a week and it's my husband's favorite food. We brought our granddaughter with us, and pizza is her favorite too. She immediately knew what she wanted: mushrooms and pepperoni. Done. As for us? We had no idea where to start. We ordered the Wise Guy: vodka sauce base, sesame seed crust, spicy soppressata, ricotta, fresh basil, and Calabrian chili hot honey. We also asked our server for their favorite recommendation and ordered the Vodka-Roni: vodka sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, burrata cheese, and fresh basil. Were we dreaming? This is hands down the best pizza we have ever had anywhere in the world. New York pizza? Sorry... step aside. You've officially been removed from our top three. They are now #1. This was the most flavorful pizza we have ever eaten. I'm usually not particularly picky about pizza. My husband, however, is a pizza connoisseur. Going forward, every pizza will now be judged against these. We live in Polk City and only travel down this way every few months or so, but this place is now officially a destination. We would absolutely go out of our way for this pizza. And can we talk about the sesame seed crust? Where have you been all my life? Absolute genius. The staff were incredibly kind, full of suggestions, helpful with leftovers, and made the experience even better. And finally... the chocolate-dipped cookies. Wow. Some places serve pizza. This place serves an experience.

Wife and I stopped here on the way to siesta key because we saw it was was on the Michelin guide…read more I would recommend making this a stop as food was great and definitely has a menu that wants us to try more next time we're in the area. We ordered the caesar salad, funghi artisan pizza, polenta fried chicken, and the meatballs. Caesar salad was amazing! I love caesar salad and this is in my top 3. My only regret was not adding the parmesan chicken. Funghi pizza was fantastic and was perfect as a artisan pizza. We're not always fans of Detroit pizza style so love you can get any pizza as an artisan round pizza Meatballs were good, loved the creamy polenta and complemented the marina and meatball perfectly. The polenta friend chicken was our least favorite. Chicken was very fried and sometime to tough to eat. Sounded good on menu but was not our fav. Other then that everything else was good and we definitely want to go back to try different things.

It's so good I ate it two nights in a row! First night we dined in, had "Shane's Favorite" (pepperoni, sausage, red onion, mushroom), and a side of homemade mozzarella sticks. Unbelievable with the perfect crisp crust...the sauce is amazing, everything about this pizza is perfect! Mozzarella sticks are equally good...homemade, not store bought. Marinara sauce is the perfect compliment! I had to have it again, but needed to get some work done, I bought it carry out...I know takeout is never as good as dining in, but there were no disappointments here...the pizza was still crisp and cooked to perfection. I tried the pepperoni and sausage and was not disappointed. In the area...look no further for what I consider the perfect pizza. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and if you're lucky maybe Shane will stop by your table and show you a card trick!

I'm not one to give out 5 starts just for fun, but Ripfire has earned it. First, let's be clear:…read moreit's a casual eatery on an island. So the 5 stars are reflective of that. Each time we've eaten at Ripfire, we've had success. They begin by importing specific flour from Italy, and all of the ingredients are made in house. The delicious tangy sauce that's used is made daily from San Mariano tomatos- also imported from Italy. Yes, please. The crispy crust and ooey gooey cheese create the perfect combination of fresh and delicious. Our go to pizzas are usually the margherita and a pepperoni, mushroom situation. Delicious- every time. Pair a pizza with a fresh Caesar salad from there and you're hard to beat a better comfort meal. You can people watch by bellying up to the outdoor eating area that faces the street, or sit inside while still enjoying the view. Reasonable pricing, an assortment of beverages, great atmosphere and friendly service combined with consistent and flavorful food are what'll keep us going back to Ripfire.
