    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    Best pizza ever!! Absolutely delicious perfectly thin n crispy but still a little doughy crust. So many toppings to choose from. The service is always above and beyond and so sweet. Such a gem hole in the wall place don't skip it!

    These are REGULAR slices, not the crazy one. Note my driver's license (for scale).

    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.

    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!

    It's hard to find a place where you can eat well for five bucks. However, Richie Bs is able to accomplish just that. A slide of cheese pizza, cooked quickly to perfection, made my experience a great one. I'll definitely be back!

    Brought my kids here today for some pizza when approaching the door we had no idea we were going to be blown away! Their customer service is great very polite and prompt. 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. If you're looking for a big bang for your buck and a mind blowing piece of pizza this is your place!!!

    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

    Monster Slice with black olives & green chile

    I was craving some pizza from here, but alas they're closed right now so I guess I'll leave a review instead. Richie B's always delivers a delicious monster slice! I also recommend their onion rings. As an avid pizza lover, it's one of my favorite spots in town and I can't wait to go back. It's a local gem, so give them a try!

First on service - I ordered carry out, and the woman who took my order over the phone was extremely kind. She also was the one who helped me once I arrived to pick up my food, and she was just as kind in person. It truly seemed like the entire staff was very customer centric. Food - holy cow it was great! I had the sixty six burger with the hatch chilis, and it was a phenomenal burger. Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries, worth the extra two bucks!! If I lived here I know I would be a regular and ensure I tried out the entire menu!

    We went in on a Friday evening right at 5 to avoid any dinner rush. We were seated immediately and…read morebrought water right away. We planned to split some small app's and one entree. We went with the Korean Chicken bites, the Margarita Flatbread, & the green chilli cheeseburger. The Chicken bites were terrible. Taste wasn't great at all, they were very very fried, but not in a good way. I love some good crunchy fried chicken but these just were not it! The flavor, the texture, none of it was right. The Margarita Flatbread was med. Taste was pretty good, but it was soggy and didn't hold up well at all. That said it was the best of the 3 things we did get. Unfortunately, that's not saying much..... The burger was okay also. Not bad by any means, but nothing special at all either....considering there's a burger place next door I thought the burger would be able to compete with the neighbor, but trust me if you want a burger, go next door! They don't put sauce on it at all, no nothing. Just straight up patty, cheese and bun. Only my 6 year old cousin eats like that.....I did add some mayo and ketchup, which helped, but still not a great burger.... The bun didn't add much for us either, even though it was baked in house with green chilli....A simple brioche would be better imo... The fries with the burger were actually the best single item of the experience. Their fries are really good! So good that I was going to eat every single one of them but instead my waiter just came and took my plate before I had finished the last 10 or so. No are you finished yet, or anything, just grabbed it, turned and left. I was so shocked I didn't even have time to say I'm not done with that. He left the crummy chicken bites we weren't eating though..... LOL Seriously don't touch my plate unless it's empty, or you ask first! Since it was a small amount I let it slide and didn't reduce his tip because the rest of the service was actually pretty good overall..... I definitely 100% will not be back here though, there's much better food in the area.

What was even better was the taste of both the Gyro and the feta fries. As you can see from the photo the Gyro was stuffed full of meat and other goodies while the feta fries were plentiful and all covered with sauce and seasonings. Absolutely delicious. I can't comment on the ambience because I got delivery, as usual. But the delivery went smoothly, and as stated above, the presentation of the food was stellar. I also had a second order from them about six weeks later that I ordered with several friends. Again, the food's presentation was appealing, and the food was great. My friends also indicated that their salad and Mediterranean sampler were delicious. I will definitely be ordering from them again, and I don't think you'll be disappointed if you do the same.

I started with Spanakopita and Avgolemono soup. The Spanakopita had the perfect flaky pastry and was a delight to eat. The Avgolemono was fire. Just a hint of lemon with a generous portion of chicken with rice and finished with a sprinkle of dill. Highly recommend! For my dinner, I chose the Souvlaki plate with lamb, steak and added a chicken skewer and a side of lemon potatoes. Perfectly cooked and seasoned meats, generous portions, a tasty and satisfying meal. The lemon potatoes were awesome. Crispy exterior and soft center delicious. I had to order the Baklava to go (you have to eat the house made Baklava at a Greek restaurant) because I was so full after the generous portions....but it looks amazing. All the food is fresh and made on site. A fabulous experience for lunch!!!!!
