Ordering Pizza at Li'l Rizzo's

When you dine on pizza at Li'l Rizzo's, the toppings are just one of the choices you'll need to make to create the "pie of your dreams!" First, of course, you'll need to decide which size to order. In our opinion, especially when it comes to pizza, bigger is always better. Why? Because this is a food that always begs you to eat  "just one more piece" plus it's always great the next day as leftovers too! 

Next, if you're ordering from our Osage Beach location, you'll need to decide on a type of crust. Both locations offer our made-from-scratch thin crust but the Osage Beach location also offers a hand-tossed crust. Both spots are also able to offer a gluten-free crust too. 

The next decision to make is the sauce. Our sauces include:

  • Traditional Red
  • Alfredo
  • Olive Oil
  • Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • Tangy BBQ 
After that, we've got a few different kinds of cheese that can be added, including:     

  • Mozzarella Shredded
  • Mozzarella Fresh
  • Provel
  • Ricotta
  • Parmesan
And then, after all of those decisions, it's finally time to choose the toppings! Written out it may sound like a lot of work but in reality, it's not that hard. Just think about what sounds the most delicious on that particular day and go for it! Or, if you want to simplify things even further, just choose one of our expertly crafted specialty pizzas.   

The next time you've got a crowd of hungry people to feed or you just happen to have a craving for amazing pizza, head on over to Li'l Rizzo's. That's where you can find the best pizza & pasta at the Lake of the Ozarks, 7 days a week, all year long! 

You can also easily get pizza to go by either giving the restaurant closest to you a call, downloading our free Lil Rizzos mobile app, or ordering Li'l Rizzo's to go online through our website. Whatever makes it easiest for you to get those pizza cravings satisfied, we're here to make that happen!

Pasta comes in many different shapes and sizes. In fact, there are approximately 350 different types of pasta around the world. These noodles can be organized into several different groups including long pasta (spaghetti, fettucine), tubes (penne), stuffed (tortellini, ravioli) and more! The meu at Li'l Rizzo's has a variety of different types of pasta. Why All These Shapes and Sizes?  Chefs use different shapes and sizes of pasta for different purposes because certain shapes hold different sauces better than others. Thin pasta, such as angel hair works better with thin oil-based sauce, while thicker sauces work better with thicker, heavier pastas.
