I tried Richie B's a few years ago and I couldn't remember it. I had several people tell me it's the best pizza they have here in ABQ. So I had to try it again. It's okay. 3 stars is A-OKAY. I still don't understand why pizza is so expensive in ABQ, but alas it is. Crust texture is good, but that's the only thing memorable about the slice. It's good, but nothing really stood out. I prefer Pizza Castle. Again, expensive pizza, but each bite makes you want more. I grew up in NJ where the competition for pizza is thick. So far in ABQ, Pizza Castle is the closest I've had that gives me a twinkle of home. read more

Richie B’s Pizza - The consistency that you need for a good pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

BEST pizza joint in ABQ. From the first time I ordered a single slice to their supreme pizza and wings! I can't explain; it has to be the sauce recipe and their fresh shredded mozzarella. The salad is delicious as well with a fat handful of that cheese! The ranch is absolutely homemade. always clean and jammin the times I've gone in. This evening when I picked up my to go order everyone said hello and thank you! Support local!! thank you Richie B's! read more

Made our way across town for what we heard was a Thanksgiving pizza that we had to give a try before the big day! The work fam and I trekked across town from the south valley up to the heights for this one. We ordered the thanksgiving slice to share and then big backed the menu with four more slices of pizza, an order of wings, cheese curds and a salad. The food came out in intervals which was nice, kept us busy snacking until we got all our food. The cashier was super friendly and made our stay quite nice! We were the only table there, but shortly after we ordered, their small dining room was packed! They seem to be a fan favorite for a slice of pizza. Everything we ordered was delicious! I highly recommend the wings, curds and salad. Be sure to get the ranch too, I'm positive it's made in house and oh so tasty. Ritchie B's is a thin crust style pizza, just so you know before you go! The thanksgiving pizza was definitely worth sharing between the four of us. It is fully loaded with mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey and a side of gravy. Come check em out! read more

I've heard so much about Richie B's Pizza since moving to Albuquerque. I knew I wanted to bring my son to check it out when he came to visit. I finally had a chance to bring him when he came recently and it was a hit! My oldest son loved the Monster Slice, my husband and my youngest son raved about the stuffed tamale crust pizza. The hot wings were also delightful. Definitely check them out for his pizza! read more

Ordered ahead of time and pizza was ready, fresh upon arrival. Pizza crust was very tasty and crispy. We had double cheese and double pepperoni which was very good although I think I will just try it regular next time.

Super family friendly pizza shop!! There's always families with kids when I come in.... Well when you offer a Monster slice, which equivalent to a whole pizza I can see the desire!! This crust is one of my top 3 in the city! Not too thick not too thin, cornmeal all up on the bottom!! Crispy bottom with a pillowy top!! This is legit!! Hole in the wall little space, but has all of the characteristics of a New York gem!! Everytime I've come in, it's pretty busy..... green flag. read more

Employees are very nice and accommodating. I'd go back again just for that reason, but the pizza needs more meat (sausage & pepperoni's) and less jalapeños. I wanted a sausage and Jalapeño and not a jalapeño & Sausage if you get my drift??? read more

Not great. Staff were talking on their phones and texting while preparing my food. They were also eating and then touching my food. Service was friendly, but the pizza was just OK and I ended up feeling sick the rest of the night. read more

Richie B's in Albuquerque is not a pizza place, it's a pizza experience. Home of the foot-long Monster Slice and baby...that thing is a whole meal, a workout, and a blessing all at once. Crispy crust on the outside, soft and chewy inside, stacked with cheese and toppings like they love their customers. No stingy slices. No sad toppings. Just BIG, bold, glorious pizza. The sauce is flavorful (not that bland cardboard nonsense), the cheese pull is Instagram-worthy, and every bite hits like "yeah...I made the right life choice today." Whether you go classic pepperoni or load it up, the balance is perfect -- not greasy, not dry, just straight delicious. One slice will humble you. Two slices will put you in a food coma. And I mean that as a compliment. If you're in Albuquerque and not eating at Richie B's, you're doing pizza wrong. Five stars. Monster slices. Zero regrets. read more

Hungry & in the area we found Richie B's. We're always up for pizza - why not? We walked in and decided based on the posters on the wall it must be NY style. 2 sizes to order from 12" small and larger 18". If you're adventurous there's always the 25" pizza. The Small Supreme was plenty for us. It came out quickly and hot. The pizza was loaded with topping and despite the water content of some toppings the pie wasn't soggy. It was thin enough to eat as any New Yorker would - folded over. But you're not limited to pies. Subs, salads & slices are on the menu. To tame the sweet tooth there's NY Cheesecake or the perennial Italian favorite - Cannoli. If you love pizza and looking for different here ya go! read more

My mom and I just stopped here for lunch at the new location the one that's on answer I'm sure they'll change the address here shortly. Also the Google Maps needs to be changed as well but that's not why I'm here. We drove all the way from Uptown to Hunter to drop off some stickers and to try the pizza. I'm telling you it's really really good and there's pizza all over town. We're gonna come back a ton of times. I think next time we're gonna just get a whole pizza and take it to go! The people are amazing and Richie is great! Everybody should come by. read more

Wanted to order pizza but informed it would be over an hour wait because the had just received a very large telephone order and would have to complete those pizzas first. Order slice pepperoni with pineapple. They were bringing it to table and the server stopped, went back and heard her ask are these supposed to have pineapple? She had to take them back and add pineapple which was not heated like the rest of the pizza. Place was very good when we attended at their Montgomery location now its questionable. read more

I really think that the things slice here at Richie B's is just something you have to try for yourself to truly understand. it's become a favorite holiday tradition of mine and undoubtedly something I will go out of my way to try every year. This review is very much about the Thanksgiving slice and not the regular pizza. The Thanksgiving slice is something they do every year around Thanksgiving for a limited time and in limited quantities. It features all the classics, including turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce and stuffing. It's such an interesting and fun take on the holiday season and overall just really good. The first time I tried it, I definitely approached it with some caution, but I'm hooked. Same thing yesterday when I told my sister, I was going to get a slice and she hesitated to join me. But I convinced her to just try some, she also felt like it was super awesome. I will warn you to check their social media because again it is available in limited quantities, and they only do it for a limited time during the holiday season. I know they obviously have other pizza Ing a monster slice that maybe I will eventually have to try because it looks quite unreal. read more

My family and I have been wanting to try this place for a while. Yesterday we ordered the 25" Supreme. I was disappointed because it looked nothing like the picture. The picture would lead you to believe there are plenty of toppings. This was not the case. The toppings were sparse, more like a flavoring sprinkled here and there. It was around $50 bucks, and I felt we paid that for bread and sauce. The flavor was great but again, bread and sauce. We really want to support the local guy. read more

Came for lunch and I'll be back for sure. Decided to get the monster slice which was bigger than what we saw on the picture. The pizza was great though for how big it was. Lots of flavor and cooked well! Good spot on Abq for a good slice of pizza. I'd recommend!! read more

The pizza was awesome just like back east pizza. The employees were really great. This is going to be my new pizza place now.

Pizza is alright. Moderately better than a chain and prices are ok at best. Where this place suffers is speed and quality of service. I waited over an hour during off-hours (1-2pm) for my mega-slice and walked up to the counter to get my money back when my slice came out. Sure, it's a mega-slice. But that's really no larger than a whole pie. At a fast casual place like this, wait times are not meant to be an hour. In fact, if my friends didn't insist on waiting, I would have left after about 30 mins. An hour for food here is unacceptable when you're getting $120 in business between my friends and I. So what went wrong? My guess is that the oven is too small or cooks at EZ bake oven temps or there isn't enough staff working in the back of the house. With enough staff prepping the pizza and a proper pizza oven, you should easily be able to crank out 3-4 mega slices or a few whole pies in 10 mins or less. At the bare minimum, you might offer some free salads if you know a guest has been waiting that long. read more

the atmosphere is amazing, food is great & people are very friendly! would highly recommend the monster slice

Ok here's the deal, the size of the slice doesn't matter big , bigger what ever. Pizza was terrible on a serious note this tasted nothing like New York Pizza. No flavor in the dough and not enough cheese on the slice. Further more I would have not commented until I used the rest room and observed roaches on the wall. This place could be so much better if they took pride and change a few things. Until then take my post seriously or go check it out for yourself. read more

It's a lot like a real Mom and Pop Long Island pizza place. It's a place where you'd go if it was your neighborhood place, but you wouldn't drive to the next town for it. The pies are solidly good, though not great. The value is really pretty terrific: check out the size of those slices - two slices will fill up the average man at lunch. The people are nice. The room is okay - just what you'd expect. They keep it clean. Oh yeah: their chile drizzle oil is very tasty . . . and not inexpensive at all. If you're from Back East, Richie B's is a lot like places you've been - and that is worth points in a city of philistines that raves about notso-hotso pizza dipped in Ranch dressing (ugh). I like Richie B's enough that I now meet people here for lunch but I've twice come by when they have been closed during regular lunch hours for some problem that both times seemed vaguely Third World and we've had to find an alternative. (Say what you will about the Ranch Dressing barbarians, they run a professional bunch of shops.) So, I'm kinda between three and four stars here . . . 4.5 for value, 3.75 (better than okay, maybe not quite "good pizza; you gotta try this!") for food quality, 4 for the feel of the place and 3 for having their act together . . . I'm going to call it a 4 here on Yelp, but a qualified 4. Richie B's is definitely worth you giving it a try if you're on the fence. read more

Today we came here for the first time because we heard it's good and of course the novelty of the monster slice. This ended up being super delicious. Cool decor on the wall and the paintings. I love New York style pizza. I was able to finish my monster slice of pizza and green chile. Got my daughter a small cheese thinking she'd eat half or less than half and have leftovers but to my surprise she ate the entire thing minus a few crusts. Would recommend! read more

Inside has a lot of New York decorations. We ordered two mother slices and a regular slice. When they say monster they mean monster my slice was as wide as the width of my shoulders. One really awesome decoration is the tv is has clips of Richie and the business. Richie was very polite and helpful making sure everyone in there is satisfied.

Richie B’s Pizza - Monster slice of pizza - Pizza Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

First time trying this place after hearing so much hype and finally having some down time I figured I'd it was time to try it. Walking in the staff was very friendly. For such a small place it was packed to the brim when I arrived. Luckily I ordered ahead for take out. I'd heard so much about the famous mega slice and although I was up for a challenge I settled for a basic 18 inch pie. I got the usual 505 style pepperoni with some mushrooms and of course who could forget the green chilies. On the walk from the counter to the car I got a whiff of garlic and seasoning which sounded promising. When I opened the box the pie was beautiful. Unfortunately the mirage faded as I took the first bite. The sauce was very garlicky and over spiced. It overpowered the rest of the toppings. To be honest it was a bit too much for me and I didn't really enjoy it. It just wasn't for me. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

It was a Friday afternoon evening after work and was starving, wanted some a slice of pizza... but the biggest slice possible. And behold the Monster Slice. Although, it was more yummy than scary. Got a basic pep of course and ordered from my mobile device and as soon as I got there (20 min) my slice was ready . All I gotta say is that you need two hands to carry this thing around so be aware. Could've finished the entire slice if I wanted to but you know gotta start prepping for that summer body to catch myself ruca. This slice is Ninja Turtle approved read more

WARNING: they now charge a 3% fee for using even a debit card. This was my favorite pizza place when I lived in NM. I haven't been in 5 years and was so excited to go get my Richie B's fix and was immediately disappointed that they are charging a 3% fee for all card purchases which feels just predatory because debit cards are the same as cash and the person at the counter even admitted they don't get charged 3% by the bank for debit transactions. Immediate strike for me. The pizza came out as quick as ever and I was disappointed to see that they now use a very small amount of crushed pineapple on the pizza instead of the generous portion of pineapple chunks like they used to. Second strike. I took a bite and the crust was so thin and crispy, it broke apart like a cracker. It was the crunchiest, driest crust I've ever had. Third strike. I'm sorry to say I won't be back to Richie B's on my next trip to ABQ in the spring. I'd be willing to give them another try because maybe they were having an off day, but I won't give a second chance while they're still ripping off their customers with the 3% fee. I don't patronize businesses that pass on their *cost of doing business* to their customers as a separate charge. If your business can't sustain a 3% credit card fee, you have bigger problems. read more
