Nick's pizza is bomb. Easy 5 stars to the pizza itself, 4 stars overall. Whenever we really want pizza, this is the only place we order from. We moved to Castle Shannon a year or two ago, and we were kind of spoiled for choice in terms of delivery places. Nick's was the first pizza place we tried and we really never should have bothered with anywhere else after that. The breadsticks are delicious, the chicken fingers are good, the burgers are mediocre, the french fries are okay. Haven't tried the hoagies yet, though from other reviews, they look like they might be pretty good. But like I said, this is where we go for PIZZA. Delicious, NY style, thin crust pizza. Similar to Fiori's but not drowning in cheese (thank god) and with less sweet sauce. Delivery is usually fast, and my only real complaint is their hours are a little short on the weekends.

I've driven by this place many times. I've heard friends say it was ok. I decided to give it a chance. It was one of the worst pizzas I've ever had. First of all, the pie had almost no real flavor. The dough, sauce, cheese...even the pepperoni was bland. I put some hot sauce on it strictly to add flavor. On top of it, I got so sick. Who knew a small pizza could cause so much internal chaos. My stomach was in knots for hours. It gave me terrible gas, but then the E. coli like symptoms had me doubling over. I have had better pizza at Little Caesars. In a competitive pizza city like this one, I will never try this place again. When you have Fiori's, Betos, Mineos, Slice on Broadway...there's no reason to subject yourself to this.
Excellent pizza!!!! If you love thin and crispy this is the place. I'm from Louisiana and was looking for a local pizza joint. We took a chance and it paid off. I will be craving this when I get back down south.

This place is the bomb. Great hoagies. Great pie. Fair prices. Cheap delivery. I have had a LOT of pgh pizza over the years, and this is a solid non-chain joint. The sandwiches are fantastic. Probably skip the wings or anything fried, to be honest though. Cheesebread is fantastic. It's WELL worth a try folks.

Worst wings I've ever had, like Tyson brand or something. Very cheap over breaded and not fresh at all. On top of that our pizza was soggy for $25 I would have rather ordered dominos sadly...

Established way back in 1979, Nick's has certainly been a permanent part of Mount Lebanon's dining landscape, and is likely the preferred purveyor of pizza for area residents. An appropriate analogy would be Brookline's Fiori's or Dormont's Campiti's. Recently, Kay and I decided to sit down and try Nick's pie for ourselves after traveling past it a dozen times while running errands. An oddity among its competitors, a Nick's crust is somewhat thin like you'd find in a Big Apple sidewalk special. A crisp exterior hides a somewhat plush interior. A fruity sauce, a freshly-grated mozzarella/provolone (?) blend, fatty bacon bits, and savory black olives finished off what was a tidy, tasty platter of goodness. The Meatball hoagie fell a tad short with its somewhat dry meatballs, the fine sauce and cheese salvaging the sandwich. The white-walled interiors are as sparse as the seating, but don't allow that to keep you away. Nick's is quietly serving up some quality pizzas in a modest storefont in a sleepy suburb. It's time the secret fell out of the attic.

Old-times feel, but they have awesome hoagies, great pizza, and very good italian food. They do deliver, and pretty much anything on the menu is able to be ordered for delivery. The drinks are by the can or by the 2-liter. In-store, you place the order and they'll either hand it to you at the counter or bring it out to you. There is very limited seating. You can call in your order and pick it up, too. Definitely would recommend.

Consistently great new york style pizza that is reasonably priced. The crust is thin and the edges are crisp. The toppings are all great and after ordering there for 3 years we've never been disappointed

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Not even worth a star. I ordered online, so this wasn't a miscommunication issue. The hot wings I ordered came as plain breaded wings. The graze burger, which is listed as sautéed onions with tomato and lettuce, didn't have tomato and lettuce. Also, when I called the restaurant immediately after receiving my order, there was nothing offered to fix the bad order I received. The manager wasn't even paying attention to what I was explaining about the order. Only after this review did he send a letter, as if I would ever order anything from there again.
