Ricci's Italian Sausage - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best food you'll ever have try the lasagna and Mac n cheese you'll never taste anything better plus the prices are incredibly low definitely stop by!

Tried the lasagna the ground sausage just was not good. I should have know I wouldn’t like it when I tried the sausage roll which was ground up sausage. I think I thought the lasagna would balance out better and it did not. For those that like ground up sausage in lasagna you’ll love this. To me the balance in taste was off. The hot sausage great Meat balls good this however was just nasty. This is just my opinion on this particular item. The other two items I mentioned I would definitely recommend.

Best homemade sausage in Pittsburgh!

Ricci’s has the best Italian sausage in Pittsburgh!

Food is always great, no real complaints. Recommend a spicy sausage sandwich.

Best sausage in Pittsburgh! Grills up so well and has the best taste you can find in this area. I’ve had the hot and sweet. Both are awesome, but the hot is so good, I find myself thinking about it well after it is gone. I’ve bought from them for years and will just keep doing so.

Best hot sausage!!! Amazing family recipe.

The owner is a total prick. Don't care if he is like 75. He needs slapped. Just relax Sir. You got a great business. Very good food. You don't need to be a jerk. You don't have to rush us. You don't have to scream at us when we are looking on what to get. Just settle. Respect your customers. Especially one's like myself and family that always show a ton of respect for local business. I could never treat anyone like you did if they are showing me respect and spending money.

Wonderful service and the food was INCREDIBLE. I got a meatball sub and an order of lasagna. I don't need to eat for a week after that meal!

The Mac and Cheese special (with hot sausage) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, is killer

Ernie is the best and the food is even better

We did not like their sausages. We got the hot and regular and found them both to be too fatty to enjoy and not enough flavor that we prefer. We were wanting to try them for a while, but we will not buy again.

Amazing food, amazing people and amazing service.

Last year went for lunch lady was cleaning floor putting trash in bags with plastic gloves on she tied bag the ask what i want then started making my sandwich with same gloves on gross i walked out . Today i stop 9/5/2023 different lady was washing dishes she ask what i wanted then proceeded to make my sandwich with same glove she was washing dishes with nasty . If they handle food like this i can only imagine what gos on when there not open im calling board of health on this business nasty .

One of the last volume producers of authentic Italian sausage in the area. Great stuff!

Great local family owned establishment. They have hot foods prepared all day, so you can just walk in and order lunch. You can also order ahead for small takeout or order at least 24 hours in advance for large orders like for your Steeler/office party

This was such a lucky find for me. I wish they were open on Sunday. I love this place

You cannot dine in, but Ricci's is absolutely awesome.

Had the hot sausage at a baby shower it was excellent. Will have again 👍 since then I go there weekly or twice a week. Authentic Italian food. Just like my nana use to make I love the sauce. And everything else. Thanks for the great food

Nothing in the Greater Pittsburgh area compares to Ricci's Italian Sausage. Like a few other West Hills institutions that have become known nationally, Ricci's offers the variety, freshness, and pure taste that should become a staple for anyone not only for holiday meals but for everyday lunch and dinners. The extremely humble owner and mainstay of the company Ernie Ricci (I've never been in his store when he wasn't there greeting and working) is one of the decent owners who takes great pride in his establishment and quality of food. It's a true family business that should be frequented by everyone in the Pittsburgh area. If you live in the Pittsburgh area, you should take the time to visit this establishment. You'll not regret it. Kudos to the entire Ricci family, and thank you for providing such quality service.

Extremely rude, horrible customer service. Had technical difficulties leaving a message for an order when I finally got a callback the gentleman on the other end was extremely rude to me, I explained I had some issues with their voicemail and he continued to be rude. Will not give them my business.

Everyone is so friendly. They have the BEST sausage on the planet!!!

Live in North Carolina and get hot sausage every time I'm in Kennedy Two. Dame good stuff

Incredible food, people and atmosphere!! Love this place

The ONLY PLACE you should ever get your hot sausage from! A little known secret is that they have already cooked hot sausage ready for you! A pan of 12, with fresh shredded cheese and fresh sausage rolls for $40! Plenty of other hot food to choose from as well!

If you are looking for authentic Italian food this is a great choice! Set up like a deli inside with a food case out front and some back in the kitchen. Mostly a take out place. I have had authentic Italian food since I was a teenager and I have to tell you, this is the real deal! I have ordered meatballs, pasta fagioli, sausage roll, lasagna, a hot sausage sandwich and a couple other things. All have been excellent! Red sauce is very tasty and has a nice well balanced flavor. Also, the people that work there are also very nice. Definitely a bit off the usual Pittsburgher track out in Kennedy township. Not that far and worth while ride if you are looking for real Italian food! I recently gave a sample care package to my Italian lady friend and she texted me it was delicious! Enough confirmation for me! Highly recommended if you want great genuine Italian food to take home. We go here and pick up almost every week!

I stopped into Ricc's for the first time today and ordered 2 hot sausage sandwiches with cheese. The sandwiches were full of flavor and the peppers and onions were very tasty. I have to say that the chefs at Ricci's know what they are talking about when we start talking about sausage peppers and onions. I will be returning and picking up some more sandwiches my next go around. Ricci's is one of my new favorite restaurants. Hurry and call and pick up something good to see eat!!😃

Love the hot sausage sandwiches.

I'm picky about my hot sausage. Most hot sausage doesn't have the texture I'm looking for. It's usually ground too fine and their are no fennel seeds etc. Moreover, much of the hot sausage around here is not hot (spicy) at all. I found myself in the neighborhood of Ricci's Italian Sausage, a mom 'n pop store selling homemade everything (just check their website). So I took a gamble and stopped in. The family/workers were very polite. They have their roots in Abruzzo. We spoke about their sausage making process. I ordered two HS sandwiches and 2lb's of the rope HS. I made a joke about "opening up a store in the South Hills where I live?" They informed me that their sausage and other products are available in the South Hills; Pasta Too in South Park uses their sausage and Cibrone Bakery in Castle Shannon sells their products and has hot sausage sandwiches every Thursday for lunch! At any rate, I get home, put the rope HS in freezer and then begin to eat the sandwich. I was supremely impressed. I finally found the quality and taste I prefer. I savored my lunch and as I did so, for a fleeting second I thought I was in...Abruzzo. AAA+++

Great Italian sausage, stuffed peppers, and breakfast sausage. Had to purchase enough to bring back to Va. Ladies helpful.

Best sausage and pre made meals. The people who work there make it worth the trip.

This is my go to spot for getting fresh sweet and hot Italian sausage. Very small, but always busy and friendly. Highly recommend!

Everything I’ve gotten here is delicious - meatball sandwiches, hot sausage, stuffed peppers, lasagna, Mac and cheese, sausage roll… it’s all amazing! I love the local and family-owned aspect of it too. I have learned from experience that they prefer you order ahead of time if getting a decent amount of meatballs (more than 6 or so), but totally understandable and very much worth it!

Hot sausage has great flavor and you get 20 pieces out of a 5 lb. box

I’m not a sausage fan, however A friend had Rico’s for an engagement party. It was to die for!!! Awesome!

Excellent food and great service. My favorite Italian eatery

I've never been there until mow. Ladies there were amazing , gave me samples of meatballs and two free sodas since it was first time there. So I hooked them up.

Great food, great employees, clean, good vibe atmosphere, great selection, & affordable!

Always the best sausage sammies!

This may be the best sausage in the Burgh'. Also lots of other Italian favorites

My lad young Rick, or Slippery Richard for short?

Great sausage, great people !!!!!

Omg! Omg! Omg! When I walked in my eye caught this delicious looking lasagna and I just had to have it! Mind you, I don’t even like lasagna lol, but it was absolutely delicious!! The meatballs were excellent! Service was excellent! Great all the way around!!

In business since 1945 says it all.

My husband purchased sweet and hot sausage from this business. Quality of purchased items and service was excellent.

Since I've retired I set my alarm to get to Ricci's on Saturday morning for their Delicious lasagna!!!! It is the Best in the city!!!!❤

Food is Amazing. Hot Sausage Lasagna is FANTASTIC!

Probably the best lasagna I've ever had 🤤

Best sausage -- hot and sweet -- anywhere!

Good hot sausage sandwich. Just wish there was somewhere to sit and eat. Otherwise great food

Best hot sausage I've had in years keep up the good work

Always have a great experience anytime I go to get sandwiches like hot sausage or meatballs or sweet sausage is great they also have breakfast sausage as well Always fresh can buy in bulk or by the pound staff is very friendly and more than willing to make you happy definitely one to try

If I could give more stars, I would! There really is no comparison when it comes to the sausage and prepared foods. Hands down, the best!

Best hot sausage sandwich in tow

Delicious food every time, I particularly love the hot sausage. They also still the food refrigerated/frozen so you can cook it yourself. Great little Italian place and the staff is always friendly as well.

Be dealing with the Ricci’s for years always great sausage, just picked up hot sausage today Always good, no complaints

Good. Classic. Affordable. ....needs variety

We tried the hot and sweet sausage sandwiches the other day and they were both so good!! And the guy who works there (probably the owner) was very friendly and went over everything they had - he was great! Highly recommend this place & we'll definitely be going back!!

Best Italian sausage and the nicest people you can find anywhere. We live in Virginia and get it shipped to us every year for the Super Bowl. My whole family looks forward to it every year. They all start asking me a month before the game if I've ordered the sausage yet.

We get the sausage all the time and it's great. I had a meatball sub there for the first time.....Amazing....their meatballs were so flavorful and moist, they melted in my mouth. I loved every bite and will be back for more.

Average sausages, nothing worth an extra trip.

Food is very good, manners are not. Stopped by for some hot food to take to the office for lunch, was scolded that I should have called ahead. I understand. I wanted 12 sausages, asked for 6 when they couldn't do 12. Had people coming out of the back with "what does he want, he can't have that now, what is he thinking, it's lunchtime". Didn't think it was unusual for people to come in and order 6, so much for a family lunch! Left feeling like I did something wrong and inconvenienced them. It wasn't the answer, just the bad business of berating the customer. Supported them for many years by stopping in and using them for catering, but no more.

Just picked up a hot sausage sandwich. I have to say it was delicious and I enjoyed every bite!

Best sausage around hands down always get the box of rope sausage yesterday my mother in law made the sausage patties on a good italian roll i kinda liked it better then rope sausage

Such a friendly staff!! so sweet to me and my kids! I was having an off day and they helped me through it. Thanks much!! Plus best sausage!! yum!

Been getting sausage there over 15 years

Real Italian food. Awesome lasagna and perfect sausage with the best peppers and onion sauce.

Excellent hot sausage sandwich. They had this jazzed up mac & cheese that was awesome.

Having moved back to Pittsburgh after 30 years away. I read of Ricci's and wanted to try. Weather it's a quick take out or putting together an entire meal, I highly recommend Ricci's. The reason it's so popular is that it's friendly people and good food.

Hands down, an old school Pittsburgh Italian joint and they don't skimp on quality. Meatballs and Hot Sausage are wonderful! That's literally what she said, the owner. ;-)

Best sausage around. Very nice people working the counter.

The stuffed peppers will change your life. Go out of your way for Ricci's sausage. Grab a bite there if you want, but most certainly take some home to share with friends and family.

If you're Italian and live anywhere near the Rocks you know you always get your sausage here

Enjoy it lasagna little spicy,good breakfast sausage, love the pepperoni,

Everyone at work enjoyed the food a lot thank you!

Best sausage & meatballs in PGH.

Some of the best people I know at this establishment. And great food.

Love their sausage and stuffed hot banana peppers.

Run, don't walk, to Ricci's for superb home made Italian food!

Macaroni and sausage Tuesdays and Thursdays

Great homemade sausage products and homemade meatballs. Family owned business for many years. Best sausage in Pittsburgh!

Simply the best Italian sausage ever !!

Great great great. And everyone is so nice!

How can I say enough good things about this place? I don't live in Pittsburgh any more, but when I'm in town we make sure to make a stop here at least once! We've definitely detoured considerably just to stop here too ;)

Delicious sausage, friendly staff!!

Awesome hot sausage sandwich! The banana stuffed peppers are delicious. The Mancini bread makes it even better.

This is the best been going for many years tell uncle Ernie I said hello

Best sausage anywhere. Can’t beat them.

Returned to my homeplace this weekend. Stopped at Ricci's and loaded up. Just ate the hot sausage with peppers and onions and was blown away. Hot sausage as I remembered it from years ago. I will be making trips back to Kennedy Township just to pick up more of Ricci's supplies.

Although not a sit-down restaurant they do serve food. Extremely friendly. Excellent sausage. Highly recommended!

Excellent products! Great sandwiches!!! Awesome employees!!

The best Italian sausage and meatballs in Pittsburgh.

Wonderful! Great lunch!!! Thank you!

Best hot sausage I've ever had!

Best hot sausage... ever... there's no need for any other hot sausage recipes to exist. This is the only one that matters.

We use Ricci sausage in our restaurant for our hand crafted stuffed peppers and for our gourmet dishes. We continually get compliments on the sausage, the flavor is incredible, the product is fresh and quality is in its name!

Great food, great service. New go to spot for lunch..
