Nick's is one of the most underrated and slept on pizzas in NYC. Crispy, charred crust, fresh mozz, and sauce that perfectly balances tartness and sweetness. No gimmicks, just great pizza. They do one thing and they do it incredibly well. If you want wings or garlic knots or pineapple or pickles on your pizza, go somewhere else. If you want the best pizza in Queens and an ice cold beer, Nick's is the spot. It's not a classic slice shop, they only do whole pies and every pie is made to order. It's the best kind of fast casual. The service is great too. This place just feels like home.
Great clean place with very good service. Their food is a little pricey and they don’t serve slices so you have to order a pie. The staff is very good; you don’t wait long for your food and the staff clean up a lot. I would recommend going here but not if you’re looking for something cheap.
Pizza was 10/10! One large will feed 2 to 3 people. The sauce was rich and the cheese was very good! Really clean restaurant with helpful employees. Call ahead on a Sunday night was 10 minutes and pick up was very easy. Hope to come back
The best pizza I’ve ever had, and excellent service! We stopped for a quick bite before a concert, it was chilly but we still ate outside. My friend and I had our food in less than 10 minutes, we were checked on frequently to make sure everything was good. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Definitely will be back!
I visited Nick's about 6 years ago while my flight from JFK was delayed 3 hours. Pizza was amazing, I'd definitely give it 5 stars. Pizza is available in Regular (12inch) and Large (16) inch. Toppings are also available but the Margherita I ordered was more then tasty. I also ordered a bottle of Graffigna Malbec ($20) and the waitress was kind enough to uncork it for me. The outdoor seating is very limited with 3 tables set up to accommodate 4 people at each. That's the only reason for 4 stars, as I had to eat in my car. :)
Guide Tip: JFK airport is 15 minutes away from Nick's and I would highly recommend a stop here for a pizza before your flight or if you have a lengthy delay like I had.
We're serious New Haven Pizza fans from CT and jumped at the chance to check out the Queens pizza scene. Nick's Pizza exceeded all expectations. First of all, their basic cheese is the Margherita, which is genius and how i wish all places did it. To us, crust is what takes a pizza from good or great, Nick's was great. The fresh mootz was too as was every other topping we tasted. Next time we're even close to Queens, we'll be back!
Legendary brick oven pizza in Queens. One of the best in the city with simple choices, pick your pie, red, white or half and half. The house special salad is a nice starter and their cannoli is to die for.
Nicks Pizza in my opinion is the best pizza by the pie establishment in NYC. I know it’s a bold statement, but you gotta come try this place out. The place looks like it’s never been redesigned probably because they’re so preoccupied providing fresh ingredients and preparing their pizzas to a crunchy crispy perfection. The ingredients are high quality and definitely a pállate pleaser (just don’t bite into it while it’s too hot, obviously). The desserts are quite amazing as well. If you come here without getting a cannoli, you will get arrested. Okay, you won’t get arrested, but your nights will be haunted of such a missed opportunity at possible the best cannoli in Queens. Definitely a stable of Austin street Forrest hills, among many others. Would recommend and would probably go if I got invited any day of the week!
I love this place. I can’t say enough good things about it. I grew up in the same neighborhood the restaurant is located at, so been going here for over 25 years. The pizza is delicious and the service is good. There are 2 waiters that have been working here for over 15 years and it’s wonderful to see them every time we’ve eaten here. We come here a few times a year and it always hits the spot. Be prepared to wait to be seated (there is always a wait for dinner). Their new ‘grandma pizza’ is delicious but I love the classic half red / half white pizza.
The place have a different concept, in which you can build your own pizza. You can choose between the white sauce and/or the red sauce and add as much toppings as you want (they are charged separately).
I recommend asking for suggestions on which toppings to choose so you can get the best experience.
