Not only the best pizza in Downtown Franklin, but the only one that doesn't taste like a "franchise" pizza.
Great little spot in downtown Franklin. The service was great despite March’s snow-mageddon 2018 2.0. I got the calzone, my wife got the cheese tortellini. It was a nice date night for the 2 of us without a crowd.

A culturally important landmark in Franklin.. Franklin's restaurant scene isn't dying, but it's certainly not moving forward with any kind of speed. Ann's got a refresh, Aunt Judy's reigns supreme and Don and Donna's closed its doors. That leaves the Indigo Duck and Richard's as the best examples of high-class food choices in this town. Richard's delivers a far more engaging experience because everything is so open and family friendly. The night I went was a benefit of some sort and every table was filled. Although it is rather large on the inside, it is amazing how quick it can fill up for its limited hours.
Rather than wait 45 minutes on a table, we chose to order there and take it home. This left my family and I able to watch how our pizzas were made and all of the special care that went into making each one. The salads were excellent and the minestrone soup was by far the best of any Italian restaurant in the area that we've tried. As for the pizzas, each one was a masterful presentation. My Black&Bleu pizza was awesome with perfectly seasoned Cajun chicken and bleu cheese as well as a white sauce. It is one of the best pizzas I've had in this area (not hard to do with wood-fired pizzas). My wife's margheritta pizza was equally as great as well as the vegetarian pizza we got. The bottom was slightly crispy and the dough was pleasantly chewy with some charred ends. All of the pizzas were overall amazing.
If you're going through Franklin for whatever reason, Richard's and Aunt Judy's are the top two best places to eat in this town. Don't miss out.
Mmmmmmmm!. I was in the area from Jersey for the Super Bowl and a friend of mine suggested I try this place. Boy was I not let down! I have never seen a place with an oven like this! A GIANT brick oven that had some fantastic smells coming out of it! I had a sausage pizza and my kid had a cheese one! It was great and unlike anything back East! The pasta dishes looked really good too! The service was wonderful too! I'm really glad I found out about this place!
Good pizza great veggie lasagna a great place to have real brick oven pizza in Indiana
The Local Pizza Place. Located in a converted garage not far from Franklin College, Richard's Pizza Kitchen offers delicious specialty pizzas that can be appreciated by the gourmet or college student. The pizzas are a thinner crust and baked in a open-air, brick, wood-fired oven, that causes hunger-inducing aromas to permeate throughout the room. With many toppings to choose from, a tantalizing variety of pizzas can be created. The bar seemed to offer a nice variety of beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages, and I highly recommend their salads as a nice starter prior to indulging in pizza. Relatively new, Richard's Pizza Kitchen is proving quite popular, and I most certainly will make a return visit.
Amazing!. The restaurant is located in an old garage of some sort- it's been wonderfully redone and decorated to give a unique modern Italian bistro feel.
The food is wonderful! The pizza is to-die-for, as it is cooked in an authentic dome brick oven. Prices are excellent as well, and service is good and friendly.
This place is an excellent joint for a good pizza in a relaxing environment- STRONGLY RECOMMEND!
The pizza was very good and the atmosphere was enjoyable.
This place is amazing! They are wonderful. They helped soooo many people during the pandemic. They made a customer out of me for life. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful business in my community. I will support them as much as humanly possible. Thank you
I love a good brick oven pizza, and this place sure does deliver on a delicious pizza. The spinach and artichoke dip with flat bread was a great way to start the meal. The staff is attentive and the Margarita was potent. We will return again.
Richards is a cool Brick Oven Pizza joint that provides tasty pizza and other Italian and American dishes. Great drinks from the bar. They play classic rock music as well. They have outdoor dining patio that is covered by shade trees. A must Go to Place!
Service was a little messy but overall great food and experience.
5 stars for the great waitress! Pizza and beer were very good. Will be back to check out more menu items.
The lasagna is AMAZING!! COME ON THE RESTAURANT WHILE RIDING MY BIKE 😁 I WILL BE BACK Y'ALL!! FOR SURE ♥️
