Richie’s Pizzeria & Grill

These guys used to be in Vestal Cntr and now they’re on the Parkway. Their pizza is one of the best in the area reminiscent of a NYC ‘Za. I’ve had their wings and they’re some of the best with a good variety of sauces. The salad and was more than adequate for two people so you better be hungry. The food is great but be forewarned, occasionally when they get busy, it gets a bit nuts… you may have a wait. Overall, these guys have it together with good food and good prices. This is a pick up place with a few tables.

The stars belong to the food, which is amazing if you can ever get any. The service is completely horrible. I made a rather large order for pickup and was told it would be about an hour. I got there an hour later and waited to be acknowledged before being told that they didn’t know where my order was. I waited in the restaurant another 15 minutes without any communication as to where my food was. I finally decided it wasn’t worth wasting anymore time.
I got in my car, called a different pizza place that was on my way home, ordered the same thing I didn’t get here, and had it on my table 20 minutes later.
I will never be going back as this is similar to the other times I went there.

My family and I ordered a large cheese pizza, the slices were very soggy, thin crust with a lot of sauce and cheese and it all just collected in a pool in the middle of the pie. Beyond that, it tasted pretty good if you can get past the texture. We also ordered garlic knots and the rest of my family was satisfied. The staff was very polite. I personally wouldn’t go there again or recommend it to anyone, but it wasn’t horrible.

everyone here has always been very friendly towards me, but when it comes down to it i just don’t like their pizza. their wings on the other hand are pretty good.
a couple weeks ago i ordered a round pizza that was half plain and then the other half was a specialty chicken. the dough was stretched very unevenly, the crust at the end was big and puffy but the actual body of the pizza was very thin and not crisp. they put so much cheese, sauce, and chicken on it that it was just a huge mess and everything falls off the pizza when you go to pick up a slice. i didn’t care for the tomato sauce at all. i decided to try their sheet pizza last week and while it was better, i still wasn’t impressed. well, the white chicken spiedie pizza is decent, but again i wasn’t a fan of the red sauce i had on the other half
the wings are good though. i’ve had their regular buffalo ones and they were great, i would totally order those again. i also tried the house wings and they were good too. i suspect that the sauce is their buffalo sauce mixed with their honey BBQ, and then they grill them on top of that.
i also tried a sub here too. they make their own bread and i could see it working well for a hot sub, especially if they were to toast the bread, but i didn’t like it for the cold cut sub i got.
i would definitely recommend the wings here, but before ordering a whole pizza you should stop in and just get a slice first and then make your decision, not everyone has the same tastes.

Without a doubt by far the best pizza in the area! Richie has mastered that signature NY style thin crust. Red sauce wonderful, topping selection out of sight. But perhaps the single factor that makes Richie’s stand out among a sea of upstate pizza offerings is the warm and friendly service. You can test assured that you will be well taken care of– and as a vegan, I love that they are willing to customize their pizzas to suit dietary restrictions.

Went to Richie’s right at 11 when their lunch special starts and the pizza wasn’t quite ready yet. The owner (presumably) apologised and said it would be a few minutes and hooked us up with some free garlic knots and sauce to hold us over until our food got here! We talked with the guy a bit and he was very friendly and fun to talk to.
Pizza came and we were not at all disappointed. Thin and crispy crust, amazing sauce, and great cheese too. It was definitely as good as it gets!
Lunch deals are also pretty affordable, for what it’s worth!

Some of the best pizza around the wings are good too. This is a true pizzeria. They always have several pies to choose from when you go in for a slice. I had these jalapeño knots there that where so yummy. The sweet knots are good too, try them out for yourself.

Not very good pizza. Didn’t want franchise pizza and was looking for something new one late night. I can honestly say it’s probably the worst pizza in the area. Glad I didn’t waste money on wings or appetizers like I almost did! The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the food wasn’t rotten or undercooked.

I grew up with NYC style pizza and it’s hard to find good pizza that comes close to what I was able to get from the city… I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Richies. The pizza here is a thin crust style and it’s delicious! Not only is the crust thin and crispy (just the way I like it!!) The toppings are consistently fresh and cheese is plentiful.
So. Amazing pizza aside, their subs are also to die for! The bread that’s used to make the subs are made on site and made fresh, it has the perfect consistency. Honestly one of the best sub rolls I’ve ever had. If pizza is not your thing, you have to give the subs a try!
To top things off, the service here is always top notch, the owner is super nice along with the people working here. It’s a very warm and welcoming place.
If you are a true pizza fan, come try the pizza here! If not, then try the subs! Can’t go wrong with either.

By far the best pizza in town. The menu is expansive and everything is very well prepared
