They serve their Sicilian pizza one way only: with a thick pan crust and chunky sauce. You’ll devour their house-made meatballs and signature potato chips.

Our family visited Licari’s Sicilian Pizza Kitchen – No.1 on Sunday after a soccer game, and we were impressed from the moment we walked in. We were promptly seated by a friendly hostess and taken care of by an excellent waitress who was attentive and upbeat throughout our meal.
We ordered the Bruschetta, Sfinciuni Pizze, Schiacciata Pizze, and a couple of pasta dishes — everything tasted fantastic and authentically Sicilian. Each dish had its own unique flavor, and everyone at the table enjoyed sampling the different items.
Overall, we had a great experience from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Licari’s to anyone looking for something different and better than the typical pizza or Italian restaurants in Grand Rapids. We’ll definitely be back!

Pretty decent food! The pizza is incredible. The pasta was just okay. I guess I’m kind of hard to impress with great pasta. Would come back for more pizza though! The Riccata Balls we’re awesome

Visited for a family Xmas lunch and loved it! My brother had the pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. I had a salad ( forgot which one) yet all the options look great. Server was conversant. And the space cozy. All and all a fabulous experience. Gratzie

Georgie was great at the front counter.
I called in for carrot, a large pizza pie with double pepperoni and banana peppers.
The flavor was spot on per usual, great sauce.
The pepperonis were plentiful but the banana peppers were scarce.
Only 3 pieces had visible banana peppers.
So that’s the reason for a 2 star.
Value is so so. $25 for a pizza is in the ballpark for Italian restaurants.

The blackberry mule was excellent and affordable! It was so good that I forgot to take a picture and to take a picture of the food. On Saturday, it got crowded around 5pm.

Went to this place for the first time this evening. What an excellent wait staff! Was greeted by Noel and Sydney at the bar. Such a warm welcoming feeling as we sat down as Noel greeted us! She is the kindest person! Sydney is also an amazing, attentive bartender. These two ladies should be comended by management for their customer service. They are the reason we will likely return to Licari’s. Thank you for your attention to detail ladies.

So glad we found this place! We were in town for spring break and my hubby’s birthday, he wanted “good” pizza and found Licaris rated #1 nearby so we headed over. From first entering Bri greeted us warmly and was very informative and inviting. Being a chef and foodie myself I’m quite picky when it comes to eating out…Licaris surpassed every single person in our party’s expectations! Cocktails were out of this world! The cucumber martini was one of the best I’ve ever had, we tried the peach martini (recommended by our fantastic server Bri) as well and it was divine! Their homemade lemonchello is amazing. Hubby’s fav was their smoked bourbon manhattan! These drinks were made with tender loving tase bud umami! Appetizers Bri recommended the buffalo burrata cheese ball! We should have ordered two! It was devoured in seconds and everyone was ooooing and aahhing at the flavors! We tried the house salad and even something so simple was on par! The dressing was flavored perfectly and everything on the salad was crisp and fresh! For mains we had divine pesto Roso, delicious homemade meatball panini; the meatballs and bread were so flavorful and fresh, homemade chips and red pepper sauce that was to melt for! Also tried the Quattro Gusei, and Michelangelo pizzas! We should have gotten larger sizes! They were so good we ate everything even though we were all full! The ingredients were chefs kiss, and that crust is something to write your grandma about! For dessert we had cannolis that were so good! Their homemade filling reminded me of my nonnas! We also tried their pistachio cheesecake it was so light and fluffy and delicious to the last crumb! We highly recommend Licaris and if you ask for Bri she will ensure your visit is extra special! Bris recommendations, helpful and tentative demeanor , and impeccable service was above and beyond! We look forward to coming back!

This is my favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids! We almost always get the award winning pizza because it’s awesome. The crust is the perfect mix of chewy & crunchy. On the rare occasion we don’t order pizza, everything dish has been outstanding! Amazing sandwiches, fantastic pasta…uh! The Arancini!! Fire. Oh gosh, and the cheesecake is varied and consistently delicious. They always have fun with the menu and keep it fresh with specials too!

I had heard nothing but good reviews concerning Licari’s for years and never made it in to give it a try. Neapolitan style pizza is my absolute favorite style, so this was always on my radar. After reading rave reviews about this place I finally decided to go ahead and make the effort try what they offer. We pulled in around 3:00 it was a pretty slow day with terrible weather. We just Happened to be over in the Knapp’s Corner area to see a movie which didn’t start for another hour and a half.
Looks like we made a good choice on the time of day since there were only a handful of people, there was a couple at the bar and another at a high top with maybe two of the booths being occupied. We were asked if high tops were okay and agreed but then were seated at the absolute worst table location ever, despite the fact that the restaurant was fairly empty. The white staff proceeded to the table directly adjacent to the exit for both barbacks and waste staff as well as the swinging doors to the kitchen where traffic would be going through at a constant. We ordered two pizzas, the Margarita, and the Michelangelo.
We also decided to order the garlic bread with fresh mozzarella.
Garlic bread arrived and after taking the first bite I thought perhaps this spot in the bread didn’t receive enough garlic. So, bite number two; had they just forgot to put any actual garlic on it? It was just warm bread with slightly melted slices of mozzarella on there. Very dull very bland.
We barely touched the other three slices and hoped the award-winning pizzas would make up for the flavor deficit.
Our wait staff brought the pizzas and after futzing and fumbling around with the serving apparatus for what seemed like far too long we finally took our slices. Again, incredibly bland. The only flavor that came out of the margarita was the little bits of shredded basil on top. I thought I was going insane. Did I get COVID? We both tried each other’s pizzas and came to the conclusion that it was not us it was them. Zero flavors at all. If you happened upon a bite of the Michelangelo or the bacon that had crisped, it was the only good texture or mouth feel and flavor you’re going to get the entire time.
While being seated directly in front of the service door to the kitchen which was incredibly annoying and loud, we saw multiple wait staff come and go and could see back inside of there kitchen. Obviously there were all your normal kitchen accoutrements in the back but apparently spices were not to be found. It was the most dull and boring pizza I’ve ever experienced. I’m still in disbelief of all the globe wing write-ups this place gets. I’m not trying to be a contrarian. As I said earlier I love traditional Neapolitan style pizza and have eaten it in every city I’ve lived in or visited. This was not it. I highly recommend going to almost any other place for a pizza. The other crippling blow to this reveiw was that we ordered two small pies and the garlic bread for a bill that came to 50 bucks. Unbelievable. They do have plenty of parking, though.
