Amazing pizza/pasta place. The stuffed shells were stuffed so full of cheese and proper spices/herbs, that it was still good, and not just a mash of cheese and noodles. I had the sampler, and I will definitely be back for some other pasta dishes, as well as some pizza.
We've passed by this place a lot in the last couple of years but never thought to actually try it until yesterday and I was NOT disappointed. The pizza was top tier and my love for garlic knots was refueled. Only complaint was the pasta was very plain and bland. 😔 Other than that, a wonderful place for pizza!
I visited the location in Golden twice over two days. I always look for New York style pizza whenever I travel. This place has very high ratings
First impression was the incredibly friendly staff. Presley was very welcoming from the onset and made great suggestions.
I ordered two cheese slices on each visit. The crust was great, the cheese and sauce were very good. Unfortunately, in my experience NYC pizzas are a tad bit more greasy than NY style pizzas in other cities, this went the other way. It was too greasy. The oil on the second slice literally soaked through the crust and made that slice impossible to finish.
However, overall it was good enough to visit a second time. Not as bad in the second trip but still would benefit from a little less oil. I shall certainly try to visit again but may ask them to go easy on the oil.
I would love to give this place 5 stars in the future.
We were looking for a good place to eat within walking distance of our hotel (Holiday Inn Express) and we sure found it at Lil'Ricci's. I had the Mussels (pictured) and they come with the best dang bread knots EVAH! Wife had an All Meat Calzone. She was pleased that there wasn't crust "overload", that there was just the right amount of meats/cheeses/crust. My Mussels were AWESOME. And, you can get bread knots as a side, so GET SOME!!!
Had a great experience at Lil Ricci's in Golden tonight! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We ordered a salad, baked pasta sampler, and pizza to share. Everything was great. My son loved the pizza crust and the stuffed shells in the baked pasta sampler were my favorite. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again!
This is probably the best pizza in Colorado..I am originally from the East Coast and I love eating here when I head to Denver.
Recent NYC transplant here. This is far and away the best standard (non-neapolitan) pizza I've had in Colorado. Cosmos is comparable to a passable NYC slice. I've had em like that and wasn't mad about it. But Lil Ricci's is like a slice shop I would happily frequent. excellent taste, crispy bottom. So glad I happened to be hungry at home Depot.
This pizza was great hot at the restaurant, but not that great later after it was cold, because it has more oily than I normally would like, but I loved there side salad and there Garlic nuts. Had great service. just not my favorite pizza but not bad.
