Well I see Brian disagrees with my disagreement. For a dude with "no axe to grind", he seems pretty intent on diminishing the workers and treating them like second class citizens. (Can't place a curious face emoji here dang it) I can assure you I don't work here, and I'd be terrible at reputation management haha. Just a regular customer. I'd tell anyone to go here and enjoy some pizza and good service. You might not like it as much as me, but I promise you won't be treated like a peasant. You might be pleasantly surprised. read more

We had take away from Little Ricky's the other night we got a cheese pizza because that's my five-year-old's favorite and then my husband and I split mushroom and sausage. Both pizzas were really good and I could see us ordering from Little Ricky's again next time we are in the area. My husband was the one who ran in and he said the restaurant inside is really cute and that we should go there sometime rather than just do take away. read more

The guy that disagreed with my review, it is obvious he probably works for Lil'Ricci's or a Reputation Management Firm. I have no axe to grind or dog in this fight. I just call it like I see it. I have standards and expectations. I would hope that a normal, decent person would notify anyone about this place if the food and/or service was that BAD. The woman treated my wife and me like we were second class citizens. That is pretty bad. The food was worse than Costco pizza. read more

When it comes to new york style pizza, it can be hard to find a good, local place. During the pandemic, I was longing to find a good pizza place and after finding out about them from an in the mail coupon, I decided to try them out. Taste wise, this place is authentic and tasty. I usually just order a cheese pizza and sometimes I'll add a topping like their Italian sausage. I've never sat down inside the restaurant but there is plenty of seating available. It is a good place to catch a game as well as there are multiple tvs around the place. My interactions with the staff during my take out orders have always been pleasant as well. If I was basing this review off of taste alone, the pizza would earn a five star review. The reason I have given it a 4 star review is the price. I find the price of each pizza to be pretty expensive for me. I therefore would suggest utilizing one of their weekly deals. My favorite deal they offer is on Wednesday, where if you buy a large pizza, you get a free small cheese pizza with your order. Outside of this, I'm not sure I can justify ordering this pricey of a pizza off of their normal menu. At least for my financial situation. Still, if you're looking for an authentic New York style pizza joint, this is a good spot to check out read more

I got to say, lunch here was actually a pretty smart choice. The place is pretty clean, the service was super friendly (though slow to get things out to us, like drinks), and speaking of drinks, they got those fancy red cups every Italian restaraunt carries. I swear, even tap water tastes good from them. We got their lunch specials, which were meatball sandwiches, and I must say, hits that lunch itch when you just want a sandwich. Stays in the gut for a while too. Double bonus. read more

Great service and delicious NY style pizza. We'll be back! Thanks to the server who took our family pic today.

Best place ever for calzones!!! Fantastic homemade dough cooked to perfection! Great place to chill and watch the games on TV read more

I just had my 1st pizza from Lil Ricci's & it was fantastic. Delicious sauce & toppings, plus a generous size. I moved to Golden 6 mos ago & have been looking for a good pizza place ... my search has ended. I will always support a small business that prioritizes quality & customer service - thank you Lil' Ricci's! read more

It doesn't seem that this place understands the point of gloves, they aren't using gloves working with the food, I would recommend no coming here, I mean just imagine your here, getting pizza, and they work with your food with there bare hands, I know they don't use gloves to go to the bathroom meaning there touching the food with there hands! Don't recommend coming here! read more

Our pregnant waitress seemed aggregate and annoyed to say the least, I ordered an Arnold Palmer(1/2 sweet tea/1/2 lemonade) twice and somehow she insisted it was an Arnold Palmer even though it was a clear liquid of sorts. So when I asked her about it she seemed to be annoyed. I ordered the lunch special a slice of pizza & a salad both were subpar. When we asked if she could check on our order to see if it was ready, she once again seemed annoyed/aggravated. read more

We were just looking for a pizza close to our hotel & happened upon Lil' Ricci's. Had the Ricci's special which was outstanding. Excellent crust baked perfectly. Tasty topping, including delicious Italian sausage & plenty of Mozzarella cheese. Bonus..my 60+ wife was carded for her Sangria! read more

Can't go wrong here. Crust on the pizza dough is on point. Fresh toppings. Happy hour cheap beer prices is a winner. Greek pizza is so good. read more

If you are in the mood for NY style pizza this is the place to go! I lived in NJ and this flavor brought me back. The pizza was perfectly cooked. The sauce flavor was right on. I'd definitely come back! read more

Excellent Pizza. I'm originally from New York State so I am naturally a little picky when it comes to Pizza. My husband Ryan and I Loved our pepperoni large pizza we got.

Love this place. I come here at least once a week for lunch. 2 slices and a soft drink for a little over 10 bucks, depending on the toppings. The pizza is some of the best NY style I've had in Colorado. The servers are all friendly. They have a bunch of tvs for the sports and a little bar. Two thumbs up. read more

Maybe an off night, but the worst pizza we've had in Colorado. I've never seen so much grease on a Za. I asked the server "would you eat that?" We'll never be back. I'm surprised people eat here. The place is gross & dirty as well. Ewwwww read more

Lil' Ricci's - half eaten pizza - Pizza Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Being from NY I am a bit of a pizza snob. I went with 2 slices. The dough was a bit thin and the pizza a bit floppy (very wet and droopy on the pointy end) but the crust was nice. The slices were a good size. Average pizza. read more

We had planned to have a late lunch at a neighboring establishment, but they were closed for Winter break. We ended up not being disappointed at all! Despite trying to go low carb, we hadn't had a dine-in Italian food experience for a while and it was so worth the splurge! The Caprese Salad was 9 pieces, with very generous slices of Mozzarella. First time I'd had it in a restaurant rather than making it or having it at a family gathering. Felt like it was a decent value, but of course, tomatoes weren't at the prime season. (And bonus: tossed the 5 leftover pieces with spinach & romaine and Voila: dinner!) Mr H. Had the All Meat Combo Calzone (with added onion & black olive). It was huge and the best part was that the crust was thin enough to ensure the generous filling didn't make it soggy. The Marinara was superb. I finally chose the Chicken Parmigiana. I substituted the Fettuccini Alfredo for spaghetti because I grew to love that combo from a Taylorsville, UT place that used to offer it. And the Alfredo sauce was everything I hoped for--buttery & creamy with a hint of pepper that didn't overpower it. The accompanying garlic knots were really good. The breading on the chicken was light, flavorful, and above par. And the moist chicken was delightfully dowsed in Mozzarella the way I always thought it should be, but have never actually been presented. Also commendable; both our entrées were served piping hot! Our server? Megan was amazing from the moment she greeted us at the door to pick a seat (we were a little unsure as to whether they offered more than pizza and were gazing around the restaurant for clues). She served our meal with just the right amount of attention. My favorite part? When I informed her that the Ladies Room was out of paper towels, she didn't roll her eyes at me like a lot of employees do, and promptly took care of the situation! (Which was extra urgent because of the sign on the door imploring everyone to wash their hands!) read more

0 stars, Ate here over a dozen times. Today was the last. Sat down, ordered my pizza. Pizza arrived curst burnt, and half of the pizza wasnt cut (connected). Asked to get it cut. They insisted that they give me a sharp knife. Strike one and two. I picked up the slice that was under the spatula, it fell apart. Lifted another piece - the same. Grabbed a slice lifted it on my plate. Picked it up everything fell off. Asked them to remake...mind you I am the only one in the restaurant...20 min later nothing. Got up and walked out. This was the worst pizza experience I have had in the area...ever. Will NEVER GO AGAIN! read more

This pizza is so good! Just good, classic slices and you get a lot bang for your buck here in terms of the size of the slices/pizza. The service are so always quick. They've also got a great bar selection as well! Check them out for your next pizza night read more

Absolutely delicious pizza I highly recommend it to anyone wanting some good New York pizza in the area. I had some last night and it's my go to in the golden area when I want a great New York pizza ! read more

Received a coupon, thought we'd give it a try. Sadly, not at all impressed. The crust was fine, but the sauce was bland, and very thinly spread. The toppings were microscopic and not authentic... We ordered Italian Sausage and Mushroom. Both were present, BUT- the sausage was not really Italian, more like a breakfast sausage, and sliced VERY THINLY. The Mushrooms were also sliced VERY THINLY, more like shaved, very sparsely spread. I estimate 1/4 ounce over the entire LARGE pizza. I'm glad they got a good rating for cleanliness, but not impressed by their claims about 'New York Style Pizza.' If you like bread, go here. If you like pizza with a decent amount of genuine ingredients, don't go here. The environment was not good - too cold, with AC turned way up, so by the second piece our pizza was lukewarm. Lots of televisions blaring all around, tables are stone, cold and uncomfortable, noisy with rowdy kids running all around, generally made us want to get the HE** OUT. An experiment that did not fail - we learned something: that we'll never go back. read more

I love this place. I have been coming here for years. Great food and service. Decided to leave a review today after dealing with the rude DMV next-door. It's so refreshing to walk into a place greeted by a smile. read more

I usually go to the one in Parker but am doing a project out by golden. Great lunch specials. Absolutely love the calzones. There are also good daily specials. The lunch special I got was the lunch calzone. I ante up and get the meat combo. It comes with a salad so don't need veggies on my calzone. It also comes with a drink. It was 10.50 plus tip. Can't beat that for a really good lunch- plenty of food. read more

Lil' Ricci's has slipped since we last dined there 18 months ago. Our server was MIA most of the time, never checked on us to see if we needed beverage refills (we did), and the restaurant was hardly crowded. The wedge salad's dressing was watery, and the black olives appeared to come out of a can. And they were out of anchovies. What kind of decent Italian restaurant runs out of anchovies? The pizza was tasty, as usual, so we'll just order pick-up from now on. read more

Solid New York style pizza. Fast friendly staff. Zero complaints. I haven't tried anything else but the pizza is just great.

I've been here before and the pizza is great, good service but warning on ordering salad. Now the salad is good but I ordered the chopped Greek salad at $10+... someone else in my party ordered the house salad at $5, they asked for a big bowl to put their salad in after it came to the table. Once they put their $5 salad in the same big bowl as my $10 salad. So my point is the food was good... big salad a super rip off. read more

This is my favorite pizza especially for gluten free! It's a bit pricier than I like, but the food is so yummy.

Lil' Ricci's was in the neighborhood of my hotel & within walking distance. The place was not super clean and the food was mediocre. I am not likely the return. read more

Delicious! Great food! Great service! Loved it! Margarherita Pizza was the BOMB! A little unexpected and excellent! Will be back next time we stop here on our way to Aspen!! read more

We came here Monday night for dinner, my cousin & I and my 2 kids. We ordered a salad, a pizza, garlic knots & the pasta sampler. The dining room was clean & nice looking. The service was great, they made sure the tables were separated enough for social distancing. The server was really nice and helped us out with the menu. The food came really quick, and was really fresh. Their pizza is amazing, I'd recommend anyone looking for great food in the area to come here. read more

Was pleasantly surprised! Stopped in not expecting much but came away thinking this is my new go to for pizza and Italian food. LOVE the spaghetti and garlic knots! Friendly help - clean place read more

Food was pretty good after a long work week. The service on the other hand was atrocious. 3 times I had to ask for a water and getting the bill, that took 20 minutes. Maybe next time I order for delivery. read more

Stopped in for a beer at happy hour and some garlic cheese bread. Average food, average service. Will give it another go for pasta and pizza when I have more time. PS go for the garlic knots instead, they look 10000 times better read more

Lunch menu was great and came with a huge salad and soft drink. 3 of us are and had leftovers for $25. Tries the meatball hero, spaghetti, and mini calzone. Also had the Cesar and Greek salads. Definitely visit during M-F lunch hours!! read more

Lil Ricci's is the best NY style pizza in the Denver area in my opinion. Love this place.

We just got back to the hotel from having dinner--pizza slices and choc. chip cookie with ice cream. Just delish!!!! the pizza slices were huge and a perfect pizza. Dessert was a dream and the Paloma Mule s are to die for. Wait staff, Brooke, is a doll. A 4 hr drive from our home but I'm thinking it's worth it! read more

Coming to you live...because I could feel it wasn't going to go well. At the bar, I was given a menu and asked what I'd like to drink. Ordered a chardonnay and 15 minutes later, nothing in front of me. A lot of people buzzing about and absolutely no attention. Including those who appear to be the owners. Beginning to question if the owners know anything about running a restaurant. Insinuating lack of real server training. From what I'm witnessing "no." Apparently, there is on the spot training going on for a new POS system. Why is that happening during peak business? Yes, I'm critical about this. As well as the servers engaged with making setups, refilling salt and pepper, but I'm still starring at a finished salad for 15 minutes. Oh, and one server is cleaning the bar ignoring this plate. As I notice the owner playing solitaire on his laptop! Really? Turns out, apprising one of the servers of the poor experience it translated to a no charge meal. I insisted on paying but was told "no." Such a shame. The food was decent. Kitchen deserves to be complimented. Ironically, there is a sign on the front door promoting locally owned vs chain. Well, sorry to inform everyone Bonefish is doing a much better job than Lil' Ricci's. * two stars because the kitchen saved the day. PS spin the salad before serving. read more

My wife and I ordered take out yesterday. The snowstorm had us craving some pizza! We had ordered the all meat combo, garlic knots, and lil Ricci's wings. I would like to preface this review by saying we used to come here quite often. It seems like the pizza has dropped in quality but it might be a fluke in our most recent visits. Other than that everything has been perfect. Now onto the food! The all meat combo was amazing as always. Good meat, good crust and good portion! Its one downfall is the grease. This might be the style but when we first tried it back then, it didn't seem to drop this much grease. It made the meal okay for me, but unappetizing for my wife. Still a really good pizza to try! The garlic knots is one of the stars of this review. These are my wife's favorite thing to order from here! Super doughy and amazing garlic taste! They're not too hard on the outside and amazingly crisp when you bite into it. Well worth its price and for anyone looking for amazing garlic knots, this is definitely the place to go! The lil Ricci wings are personally my favorite and the second stand out of this review. The wings are crispy and juicy to the bone. Amazing sauce that they add and a pretty good size too! These are definitely wings you have to try. They're not spicy, but they do offer this unique kick to them. Overall lil Ricci's is a stand out pizza spot. Its pizza is amazing and its side dishes are a stand out. I've recently had a couple of bad experience regarding the pizza grease but it shouldn't deter anyone from trying it out. It was most likely flukes! Wings and garlic knots are a must get! read more
