I have always received a quality, fresh pizza, made just the way I like. Delivery has always been exceptional!
I like it this location. This pizza was pretty interesting but a wish the have more choices to get here. But the costumers service was pretty good. I recommend this pizza for anytime after 8 am
Was looking for pizza and not a chain pizza place. Found this place and the food did not disappoint. First off the place looks nothing like the food tastes. The Ritas Supreme pizza was delicious. I got Shrimp Linguine- noodles not over cooked and tons of shrimp in the dish. The pizza was piled with all the toppings and the crust was sturdy enough to hold it all together. It was a thin crust but delicious!!! We definitely will be going back to try other pizzas.
We ordered from this place for the first time the other night since we were craving pizza and this hit the spot. We got a large Stella's Garlic Combo pizza and a side of garlic bread. Delivery didn't take long and the pizza was very flavorful. We even had enough leftovers for a second meal. We really want to try their other specialty pizzas as some seem to have some very interesting combinations of toppings.
The pizza is delicious. If you like thin crust pizza, this is the best. And they have their own delivery drivers, super quick, and much cheaper then the big food delivery apps.
went with my girlfriend, the guy who helped us was super nice and showed us how we can get a discount on our order. pizza came out at a decent time and was fresh and hot. would recommend going for a late night munchie spot.
This place needs way more buisness. Greeted very nicely and seated menu was huge. We got appetizers, chicken, and pizza. The appetizer platter it so goated you get a mix of everything it’s so nostalgic. Chicken was bomb and the pizza was good too. Definitely check out this spot
We had the Star City (pepperoni + cream cheese) and added mushrooms. Really good pizza. But the thing that impressed me was how much variety they had. Like 40+ options? We're looking forward to trying more!
Rita’s Pizza was a random night discovery after growing up in Lincoln, NE my whole life.. it hands down has been my TOP fav pizza place especially their Alfredo anything pizzas. Overall fast customer service and full support / shout out to Rita and her beautiful business. <3
Absolutely incredible experience at Rita’s! The food was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked pizza with the best cheese pull we’ve ever seen, to the delicious appetizer basket (mozzarella sticks, cheese curds, corn dogs, chicken strips, and cheesy ravioli) and the sweet funnel fries. Everything we tried was top-tier. The vibe might throw you off at first, but don’t let that fool you, this place is a hidden gem. What really sets Rita’s apart is the personal touch. The owner, Rita, made sure we were fully taken care of and even helped us figure out what to order. She was so kind and genuinely welcoming, you can tell she cares about her customers and her food. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but honestly, it’s worth every dollar. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend! 💯🍕
