Waited 45 minutes for slices, then the waiter followed us out to condescendingly thank us for his lack of tip. Tips are earned, not just blindly given and the service was slow/half-hearted. They seem more interested in functioning as a bar for the nearby NKU students than anything else. Avoid.
Review Source:My girlfriend and I stopped there for lunch because we were around the corner picking up tickets at the Bank of Kentucky Center. Â They have a great lunch deal with 2 slices of pizza and a drink which is pretty inexpensive. Â There was only 3 other tables filled when we got there, which we thought was odd for a Friday near a university. Â Well, once you eat the pizza you'll know why. Â It's just OK. Â If you're in the mood for pizza and don't want to get a chain place, and you don't want to venture out of the area, definitely go here. Â I would definitely pick it over any chain pizza place. But, definitely not a place that I would think of when I want a good pizza.
Review Source:Food is always very good here but I'm only giving 2 stars since the service is always very slow and unfriendly. Â It just doesn't seem that the owners and employees care about the customers. Â Every time I've been here (at least 4 times), no one says a word to you when you enter or leave. Â
I've only ordered the BBQ chicken pizza pie and garlic knots. Â Both are delicious, although $20 for a "large" pizza that doesn't feed even a family of four is way too expensive.
I admit to doing something really fat last week - I ate an entire cheese pizza by myself. In my defense, it was a small pizza and it was pretty thin crusted compared to other places in the area. But still. It was that good. I did get a little of the heartburn that RJ talked about but I don't know whether to attribute it to the actual food itself or just the vast quantity of it that I consumed. Anyway... rich sauce, perfect amount of cheese, great crust texture. Best of all, I got it for 50% off thanks to my Entertainment Book coupon! They have lunch specials and pizza by the slice too. When I came in the dining area was almost all full and there was another customer behind me for a takeout order. Yay for local pizza joints.
Review Source:Okay my choices today BW3's, Subway, Taco Bell or Raniero's All located in the same shopping strip. I was leaning towards Subway for a Quick sandwich in familiar environment. Since there was inside seating and pizza by the slice I figured why not have an adventure.
Clean nicely appointed dining area. Friendly helpful service. I chose the Sausage Pizza Combo 2 slices and a self serve soft drink $6 and change we're off to a good start. Because of its raised position the fountain drink machine spit soda on my jacket and shirt. Not so good. My 2 slices of HOT pie were delivered in a good amount of time I was not in a hurry. Pizza looked and tasted a little bland but thin crust and large slices seemed like a good idea. It is now 6 hrs later and I am still feeling bloated and uneasy about my lunch choice.
I would try Raniero's again for sure a different menu item in their new location but today I am looking for the Tums.
As a displaced New Yorker I've become horribly jaded when it comes to the term "New York style pizza". Big chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's pizza have pretty much turned "New York style" into an simile for "big".
But I'm still a sucker for it, so I'll try it anywhere. Fortunately I stumbled upon Raniero's one day. It's a small place, usually pretty quiet (though it's near NKU so I imagine at certain times it gets crowded) and the pizza is AMAZING. Maybe it's been so long since I've had a great NY slice, but this stuff made me really happy.
That said, I haven't been able to eat it in a while because I've gone vegan. But if anything was to make me go back, it would be this place. Go there and let me experience it through you vicariously. Please.
It's always nice to have a neighborhood pizza shop and the recently opened Raniero's Pizzeria seems to fit the bill. A small place, with an unassuming location in a strip mall, it's made more homey by old black & white family pictures on the walls, presumably from "the old country".
They offer pizza by the slice or a whole pie along with a range of starters, salads, hoagies, and desserts. I went for the lunch special which includes a slice of pizza, a salad, and a drink and is a great deal at $6.35. The house salad was fresh and crisp, but primarily iceberg lettuce (you also have the option for a Caesar salad for the special). The pizza slice was generous in size with a nice thin (but not crunchy) crust in which you could taste hints of garlic butter. Mine was just cheese, but they do have a range of toppings and specialty pizzas as well.
Based on my one experience, I wouldn't recommend making a special trip, but if you live in the Highland Heights/Cold Spring area, stop in for a slice or carry-out a whole pizza (no delivery), because I want to keep my new neighborhood pizza joint!
