“ We brought a family member from out of state. Richards did not let us down. Kai was her normal cheerful self, taking great care of us. Our pizzas, garlic pinwheels, and artichoke dip were great. ”
“ We just moved here from Chicago, and this place is as close to Chicago “zzza” as possible. I had a Margarita pizza and my hubby had sausage and onions zza. The Connolly has a cinnamon in it so that was different but tasty. Love the atmosphere! ”
“ One of our favorite pizza places ever. We specifically go to Franklin for this a few times a year. Pizza is amazing, calzones are excellent as well! They do fill up fast so if you are expecting to walk-in and get a seat it may not happen right away. Usually within 15 minutes of them opening there is a wait. I put atmosphere at a 4 star because we don't care for live music, which they have one night a week usually. If that's your thing then no worries. We just try and avoid that night if we don't want it, not a big deal at all. Excellent food, brick oven style pizza. They do have ricotta for their pizzas. ”
“ I was in Indianapolis on business and I wanted to find an authentic brick oven pizzeria. Richard's was about 20 minutes south of where I was staying in historic Franklin. I've never heard of it and it was out of the way, but the pictures of the community looked nice and the food looked impressive. So I figured I'd give it a shot. I was not disappointed. Everything is amazing! The food, the staff, the aesthetic of the building... I was absolutely blown away! To top it off, they had a beautifully lit, garden patio area in back, next to an actual reflecting garden that you could walk through and enjoy. The only thing I regret about this trip is that I didn't make it earlier in the day when I could have walked around Franklin and taken in more of the beauty of this small community. It's shops, it's architecture, it's people... This is obviously the kind of place that deserves to be a destination for those who really appreciate what a community of artists and entrepreneurs can be. In what little time I was there I found myself inspired. So if you get the chance to visit, take it. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ This place is so freaking cool. The pizza is probably our new favorite. And the root beer they carry is out of this world. Do not skip the cheesy bread either. Wow! ”
“ Veggie pizza and Greek salad with the house vinaigrette. Delicious. The crust was a little softer than I would prefer, but not enough to change from a 5 star. ”
“ We had such a good meal at Richard’s! The service was great and the food was even better. Seeing the oven and guys getting the pizzas together is fun. The ingredients tasted fresh and the create your own was a fun experience. We will definitely be back. ONLY open for dinner! ”
“ Best pizza ever in my opinion! Good beer selection too, everything i have tried is delicious, only downside is they are not opened long enough, only 5-9pm ”
