Lil’ Ricci’s NY Pizzeria

Another delicious meal and great service again. Love the garlic knots, salad, and pizza! They make great cheesecake also!

YUM!!! The pizza is exactly what you are looking for if you like NY style. Thin chewy crust, just the right amount of sauce and really good cheese. The service was great, as well. I have found my new pizza place!

Service was slow we arrived around 545 sat about 10 minutes to get served! We waited about an hour to get our food. Very disappointed the worst quality of food and service since my family has been coming here in 6 years. Probably won’t be back!

Pizza was alright … good enough I probably would have come back many times over the two month I will be on the job site a block away… but… I will never return because they didn’t take my vertical utah ID… I can’t believe I’m over 40 and can’t have a beer with lunch even after showing state identification… what a joke.

My husband and I enjoy going here. We will dine in or carry out about once a month. The hot wings are really good if you are wanting an appetizer. We normally order the all meat pizza (I’m not sure what the official name is) it’s always fresh, hot and tasty. I always get a side salad once again always fresh, crisp and cold. The best part about the side salad is the garlic knot roll it comes with. The one negative is some nights we have waited an hour and other nights we can walk right on in.

My husband and I decided to try this place on a whim. My first impression was not very good. While the staff seemed pleasant and competent, the place was dirty and the tables sticky.
The food was pretty good though. My husband’s pizza was tasty and the crust was good. My calzone was slightly undercooked with a bit too much cheese, but still good. Not the best we’ve ever had, but definitely one of the best Littleton has to offer. Unfortunately, Littleton is seriously lacking in color.

Seriously so-​so and inconsistent pizza. Sometimes decent, sometimes not so good–
depends on who’s cooking that day, I guess. They have managed to mess up simple pizza take out orders several times now (disappointing, since, as I said, they were simple requests, like ½ cheese, ½ pepperoni). Portions on other items are also inconsistent and certainly could be larger. Have tried enough things here for a long enough period of time to decide to stick with Big Bill’s. Better food and pizza all the way around, and better bang for the buck…

Soo I am really picky when it comes to Pizza, as I am gluten free (not by choice – its terrible) but I really really liked their Pizza.
Its also a huge plus that the happy hour menu is awesome. They share space with the Off Broadway Lounge– a good bar that serves their food.
This is a local favorite– don’t let the exterior fool you its warm, and homey inside with some delicious food!

The good: the pizzas are always from good to very good. The garlic knots are buttery and of course full of garlic. The salads are pretty much standard as is their dressings. The service use to be problematic but in the past six months has been very good at dinner time and mid afternoon.
The Bad: the tables are covered with a sticky plastic that even when clean is tacky. This is not the first restaurant that I have seen use this and I can’t figure out why. It just feels dirty. Sorry about that.
We go there about three times a month and are always pleased with the service and the food.

lil Ricci! s/​Off Broadway, has great service on both sides, it’s a great neighborhood bar/​pizzeria, I love the waitresses and it’s just a chill place to go in to after work and get Drinks.

I’m 6 years removed from NY and Lil’ Ricci’s is probably the most consistently good pizza I have found in Colorado. Missing a star because they don’t deliver. It’s pizza, not fine dining.

Seriously amazing Garlic Knots, homemade cheese sticks, large meaty pizzas, and salads. Their marinara & red sauces are to die for. Cheeses… did I mention the really good cheese they use?!
Casual atmosphere. Very casual! Legalize Marinara T-​Shirts on the staff. Very family friendly.
We’ve tried the big place (across the street) and never went back again. Bigger isn’t always better.

Great pizza and ice cold beer. But, the multiple times I’ve been to this location I haven’t received the best service. I typically go during the week when the dining room is almost empty and Been made to wait a long time to get drinks and watch the food sit in the kitchen pick-​up window while the staff is no where to be found. I will eat there again, but maybe just to-​go orders.

I’ve given this place a few tries and it fails to impress and is considerably below average each time.
The décor is very outdated and in dire need of a re-​model. The table surfaces have lost all of their finish and are pretty nasty.
Today I ordered a Greek salad pita sandwich for the lunch special, what a disaster. The pita sandwich was enormous and is difficult to eat like a pita sandwich. After the first bite the pita fell apart and I ended up dumping the greek salad out into the small plate with a bed of potato chips. Who serves potato chips with a salad, especially in the same plate?
They also give you a garlic knot with this interesting combination, and it was probably the worst garlic knot I’ve ever eaten. Just a spongy tasteless dough ball.

Pizzas are pretty good and I like to order here when we have people over for pizza. However, the other night I ordered 3 large and a small plain cheese. The told me 20 minutes for the order to be ready. I got there about 25 minutes after I called and they were still cooking so I needed to wait, not a big deal.
The issue came when they rang up my order and the guy told me they only put in the order for 3 large pizzas. I said the girl took my order and repeated it back to me but the guy said that he never got word of the small cheese. He told me it would only take 5 minutes at the most (Whatever, you can’t make and bake a pizza in 5 minutes there).
So instead of offering to comp the small cheese, he tells me I’ll need to wait and also charges me the full price for the original order. No ½ price, no «here’s a free cheese on us next time,» nothing.
Incompetent staff member who should know better. I’ll take my business back to another pizza place from now on.

In the past I enjoyed the food at the Parker location better. I’m not sure why. Kind of a ghost town when we were in; funny everyone was at Red Robin. Can’t say anything about the attached bar, we didn’t drop in while we were there. The service at this location was notably better than that in Parker. Food took a while to come out even though they weren’t busy.

Typically we go to a different NY-​Pizza place in Highlands Ranch, but decided to give Lil’ Ricci’s a try. It is much closer to our house and didn’t seem as crowded as the other place.
On a Friday evening, around 6 PM, my family of 5 walked in. I think there were 3 other tables seated and that was it. That was unnerving.
However, the staff was friendly and attentive. The pizza came out quickly and was very tasty. I’m not sure why more people weren’t here. I would definitely recommend, although it’s oddly pricey, not sure why. Pricey being relative. I think we got out of there for $ 40 including tip, still for pizza, seems a bit expensive when 3 of the eaters are kids.
Will return

We went in for a rushed dinner at Lil’ Ricci’s before seeing a movie. There was a little bit of a wait going, and we were nervous that we wouldn’t be seated in time to eat. The estimated 20 minute wait was about 10 minutes, and when we were being seated, we told the hostess we were in a hurry. We immediately had someone at our table to take drink orders, and then the server came to take food orders. We were really impressed by their teamwork:)
My husband had never been there before, and he loved the pizza and, especially, the garlic knots. We got out of there for under $ 30, which is pretty good considering the amount of food that we got.

I’ve been to the bar inside Lil’ Ricci’s (Off Broadway) a couple times now and always had a great experience here.
The drinks are cheap. ~$ 4 gets you a giant 24oz pint of a craft brew.
The pizza is good. I am not a NY style pizza fan, so I ordered the calzone. It was fantastic. They did the calzone NY style, so it wasn’t a hunk of bread with a little filling. It was crispy and good. The red dipping sauce was quite good as well.
They also have several gluten free options on the menu, so check this place out if you are a Celiac.
There is a nice little patio that we will have to come back and check out on a sunny day. It overlooks the parking lot, but eh, so do all the other patios in this shopping center.
Just a cool, independent spot surrounded by the usual Highlands Ranch chains. It’s our little oasis. Check it out and you’ll agree…

I ate here a few times on a business trip. The hotel suggested two nearby pizza places — Lil’ Ricci’s and another one that was «more gourmet». I asked if that meant they had artichokes and porcini mushrooms. «They do and it’s great,» the girl at the counter gushed. «Then give me directions to Lil’ Ricci’s,» I shot back.
I’m glad I found the place. It’s a good, NY-​style pizzeria. The calzone I ordered came out with a perfect crust, reasonably thick and chewy on the ends and crispy and almost paper thin in the center. It was filled with toppings and a dollop of ricotta cheese. Most pizzerias don’t put ricotta cheese in calzones anymore. Without ricotta, it’s not really a calzone, it’s just a pizza folded in half. Speaking of pizza, the pizza’s great, too. Heroes are a little bit of a let down. The bread tasted stale on mine.
While I really enjoyed the food at Lil’ Ricci’s — and that’s why I’m giving it 4 stars — I’ve gotta say that the ambience isn’t great. Early in the week, the place was almost dead and had no energy going. Later in the week there were more customers, and classic rock playing through the loudspeakers. The bartender made a difference, too. One was a genuine bartender. The other was merely a beverage server.
