Best garlic cheese bread, bomb sauce!

by mollybyrum

The Pizza Trio went to Li'l Ricci's tonight and it was fabulous! We ordered garlic cheese bread, the large antipasta salad, a pie w/ 1/2 sausage and onions, 1/2 pepperoni and jalapenos then some cannolis. The garlic cheese bread was hands down the best we've had so far! It actaully tasted like garlic, had enough cheese to cover it and the marinara to dip it in was super yummy! I was actually glad I got to try the sauce before the pie came. The large salad said it was for two people but fed the Trio and there was still leftovers. It came piled high with cucumbers, carrots, salami, ham and cheese (we opted out of the olives and tomatoes). The blue cheese dressing was a bit thick but was "bomb" as a Trio member stated. The other member said to recommend it to you folks. I had the italian dressing which reminded me of the kraft stuff which isn't my favorite but the salad was good. The pie came out looking great except that the sausages are the thin slices not the actual chunks. The pepperoni/jalapeno side was favored but the Trio but overall the whole pie was good. There were a lot of toppings, plenty of cheese and the crust was crunchy and delicious! I had to eat about 2/3 of the pizza with a fork and knife because it was piled high with toppings! The canolis were rated "very good"... "4.5 out of 5" by the two other members of the Trio and although I am not a canoli connoisseur but it was the best I have had. There was nothing jazzy to spice it up and it certainly didn't need it. It came out with some powdered sugar around the plate and it tasted like the filling had some vanilla added. It was stuffed to the brim with cheese and the Trio boys think it may have been homemade. Overall, this place rocks! The service was great (we had two girls waiting on us) and the atmosphere is very family like. Highly recommended!

• Pros: garlic bread, plenty of booths and great marinara!
• Cons: sausage slices

The best pizza in Colorado

by chocolatecake

We?ve just moved in this neighborhood. This place makes some great pizza! My husband loves their meatball hero too; he would like little more sauce on it though. My neighbors said to try the calzone; I guess it's very good and huge!!

• Pros: Good food, Quick

Tasteless pizza, sloppy service, poor value

by bobrollins

The pizza tastes like it came out of a high school cafeteria: kraft style cheese, skimpy toppings, and slightly soggy crust. The service is delivered by college-aged people more interested in chatting with each other than serving customers in a timely matter. Pizza to eat in is much better quality with much better service at Beau Jo's, and for delivery from any national chain. This is a place to avoid. There is no New York, let alone New York style, at L'il Ricci's.

• Pros: conveniently located for south denver customers
• Cons: food quality, service, value

Worst Service Ever!!!

by audreyhorn

The service here was absolutely horrible. I ordered a beer from the server and he forgot to bring it to my table. I was then accused of stealing a beer and had to argue with the server for approx. 10 mintutes in order to convince him that he forgot to bring the beer. The last thing I am going to do is try to steal a $3 beer. The customer is NEVER right at Li'l Ricci's. Because of the rude service I received I will never eat there again and will tell everyone I know not to eat there either. It was the most awful dining experience I have ever had.

WOW!!!

by Chanman70

This is good stuff!!! I'm not a sausage eater but the sausage they use is terrific. Good price and pretty quick depending on when you go. They get busy at lunch time and they don't have a huge wait staff. It's good cold the next morning out of the fridge or warms up nicely. They work together with the bar next door so you can get the pizza with a beer as well.

• Pros: Good price, place to sit and eat, bar next door
• Cons: Small dining room, crowded at lunch, small wait staff

Best Pizza

by saffronjones

Reminds me of the great pizza trattorias run by the mob - the ones that smell so good you'd get a slice for breakfast or when you just had dinner, and the taste always lives up to your hopes. That's Lil' Ricci's; consistently the best pizza I've had in Colorado. Not romantic atmosphere, but a great date place - introduce your date to the best pizza in Denver! I've taken everyone I know there since I discovered it.

• Pros: best pizza, friendly service, great price

New Yorker's Haven

by kersplatt

After becoming accustomed to the world famous New York style pizza, trying to find a Colorado likeness was slow in comming. The former owner's of Scotto's Pizza (once located in the Aurora Mall) now has Lil Ricci's. The restaurant offers views of the kitchen where one can see young, attractive pizza chefs tossing dough into the air. The pizza itself is to die for. I must admit that I have put on a few pounds with my frequent trips. I recommend the place to anyone who listens.

• Pros: Neighborhood bar, Never waited 4 table, Friendly atmosphere
