Popular local eatery Rick’s on the Island announced Thursday it will close its doors on Okaloosa Island after Labor Day due to a non-renewed lease.

• The restaurant, known for its pizzas and seafood, is offering specials until its final day of operation on Sept. 2. These include $12 large two-topping pizzas for dine-in or carry-out, $3 drafts, and $3 cans.

In a social media post, the establishment expressed gratitude to its patrons: “After countless memories, endless pizzas, seafood delights, and your unwavering support, it’s time for Rick’s on the Island to bid a heartfelt farewell.”

While Rick’s on the Island is closing, the owners announced that some staff members will transition to their sister restaurant, Rick’s Crab Trap FWB on Eglin Parkway.

• Rick’s Crab Trap plans to incorporate elements of Rick’s on the Island, including island music, weekly entertainment, and extended operating hours to seven days a week.

The restaurant encouraged locals and regular customers to visit during its final days, stating, “Come raise a glass, share a story, and help us make these last days unforgettable.”
