Ricca’s Brick Oven & Bar

If you’re looking for that perfect intersection of a high-energy bar scene and authentic, old-world Italian soul, Ricca’s Brick Oven & Bar in Hammonton is a mandatory stop on your South Jersey tour. This isn’t just another pizza joint; it’s a beautifully designed destination where the glow of a wood-fired oven meets a sleek, modern bar atmosphere.

The Experience & Features

The centerpiece of the restaurant is, without a doubt, the brick oven, where they churn out artisanal pizzas with that signature charred, airy crust that only comes from high-heat wood firing. Enthusiasts rave about the “Old Fashioned” and “Brooklyn” style pies, but the menu goes deep into Italian-American comfort. From their famous hand-rolled meatballs and arancini to “Sunday Gravy” style pasta dishes and coal-fired wings, the food is built for sharing over a few rounds of drinks.

The bar itself is a standout feature, offering a polished yet approachable “lounge” feel. It’s a popular local hub for Craft Beer lovers, featuring a rotating selection of local New Jersey brews alongside a sophisticated cocktail menu. Whether you’re sitting at the expansive bar for a mid-week Happy Hour or tucking into a booth for a family dinner, the vibe is consistently upscale but unpretentious.

History & Atmosphere

Ricca’s carries the torch of local tradition, situated in the “Blueberry Capital of the World.” It has established itself as a cornerstone of the Hammonton dining scene by blending traditional family recipes with a contemporary, social environment. It has become the go-to spot for those who want a “night out” feel without losing the warmth of a neighborhood Italian kitchen.
