If you're looking for quality pizza in a relatively uncrowded spot near all the shops, this is it. Parking was easy, as they have their own lot so no parking and having to backtrack to get to the restaurant. The food itself was great. The dough used for the pizza was soft while still having a crispy bottom, and all the toppings were hella good. The service was nice- our waiter took off the cost of 1 pizza after it was slightly messed up in the creation and took good care of us. If you're hungry for pizza, you should definitely hit this place up.

We stopped in here on our way out of Newport b/c our daughter wanted pizza. Ok, we can swing that. She had a small pepperoni pizza which was perfect for her to have for dinner and end up with a couple of slices to take home. We split a chicken parm sandwich and it was awesome, great sauce. Now . . . it got a little hairy with the bruschetta - I like a traditional, straightforward bruschetta - tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil on some nice crispy bread. This came out on a pita-type bread and it was loaded with stuff artichoke heart, roasted red pepper, mushroom I think . . . Not at all what anyone expected, I might not have read the menu description, I can't remember if it said all that. On the bill it was noted that we got a 'large order' which we certainly didn't ask for. Our waitress was good and efficient, Brenda.

Worst wings Lasagne was frozen not fresh Phili cheese steak was bland Asian chicken salad? More like Asian newspaper paper salad. Dry tasteless and boring! Gyro sub par And the soup was definitely out of a can. By far the worst meal in Rhode Island.

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe the way they treated us. We ordered a pizza and pig skins from this "business" to be delivered. They said the wait would be an hour and a half before the food would be delivered, which was fine with us. 2 hours later of waiting we called and they said they through away our food because they couldn't find our address! I can't believe this place is still in business. A complete waste of your money and time!!! NEVER GO HERE.

Excellent pizza and garlic bread, I mean excellent. I'm coming back many more times, cute inside and outside seating, good service Parking on site and around the corner. I may even bring my wife here or just keep as my secret goto place... Oh yes lots of Greek foods.

So just stopped in for a late lunch and wow what a disappointment. I got a "antipasti salad". It had literally one olive, straight out of the supermarket american ham and salami. In no way was this salad related to antipasti. Some other items at our table were a ridiculous excuse for potato skins (they were tiny), and a small cheese pizza that looked to be frozen (not sure). Literally the only thing that was ok was my cup of clam chowder ,and the service. I won't be back, nor will I get drlivery. Haha

Ordered for pickup, had plenty of trouble ordering a simple split topping pizza (my medium split two-topping pizza somehow came out to $25). Upon entering the restaurant, I watched them take my pizza out of the oven which appeared to have incorrect toppings on it. I had to fight to get the attention of one of at least four of the staff sitting behind the counter talking amongst each other, and asked if the toppings were correct. I received a snarky reply from one of the girls who didn't even see the pizza, and they actually refused to own up to the mistake despite the proper order being written on the slip. I simply took the incorrect pizza because I didn't feel like arguing and waiting any longer. In the end, the food tasted good, but not for the money, rude service, and aggravation of the whole thing.

Have been ordering from here for years. Now their prices don't match the website and when u ask for extra blue cheese they don't bring it and say whoever took the order didn't put it in so I didn't get charged for it. The last time I ordered the same thing happened. I live the food but this is the last time I will order from them. Probably the most over priced pizza in the island anyway. Extra cheese now is a premium topping and they charge 4.25 for it too.

Nickolas pizza: can not accommodate for food allergies... unreliable for flours and cannot be guaranteed for other ingredients processed in other faculties...ordered sodas..and on way out made us pay for them...bad bissness move. Unfortunate that a tasty place can not be equipped to handle the modern world's crisis. Bland service, and limited drink options. ($12 dollars just on drinks for 4...) If you have allergies, would not recommend, trying.

Christopher P.
Wish I could even comment on the food. Walked in, requested a seat for my group of four. Was told no seats we're available even though and empty table was sitting right in front of us. Asked about it and was told that wasn't possible because that table could accommodate 6 and we only had 4!? Complete joke.

Didn't get a chance to eat here. My wife inquired what food would not be safe for our son with a nut allergy. Hostess said nothing would be safe and recommend that we not eat there. Really? Nothing safe at a pizza place? Very rude and did not want to take time try see what food items could be safe.

Went here for a low cost dinner after a nice spa day. Staff was friendly and gave great suggestions! Food could not have been better. We had the lil niki's... Amazing dough like pieces covered in garlic butter and parm cheese. The ranch chicken pizza is a must!

As I have mentioned before, there aren't many good pizza places in Newport (you have to go to the other side of the island for that). I would say Nikolas' is definitely at the top of the ones in Newport. It is equally good for takeout/delivery as for eat in. If you eat in, I would do it in the summer. You can sit out on the patio, or sit in a covered patio... on beautiful nights it really is charming. The inside is authentic, and looks like your typical pizza place. The other foods besides pizzas are also delicious (ie, pasta dishes and chicken fingers). Great if you want a casual place with good food!

i ordered a prosciutto, provolone, olive oil and whole wheat wrap. it was made with very low quality meat, tasted like cheap deli ham. the whole thing was dry, super salty and not tasty at all. the service and waiting time was great, but i really hope that their pizza is much better

Work in the area and having been meaning to try them for months and finally did. Great pizza. Nice atmosphere. Only complaint would be that the first time I went there was a random charge of .34 cents and the second time .29 cents. Wasn't tax or anything and both times I only got a pizza for takeout. Not that big deal as when something like and unexplained charge like that happens I just take it out of the tip, just weird and a little off-putting.

Five Star Pizza. The way they used to make it in the old days in New York City. Delicious sauce,delicious crust,delicious cheese. We especially loved the four cheese pizza. I was very surprised that I could get pizza this good in Newport, RI.

Annmarie S.
One of the worst meals I have had on the island. In years past food has been great but has significantly gone down hill. The gyro wrap was 3 pieces of meat thrown on a soggy pita with a few diced tomatoes and onion underneath. What I have had at other similar restaurants is beautiful wraps with shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes, olives and feta so big you need two hands to eat it. If that's what you are looking for this is NOT the place to go. The Greek chicken I have come to love is now over marinated, overcooked & way too salty. What they DO RIGHT is salads si stick with them. Unfortunately won't be ordering from here anymore!

Bad experience. I've ordered from Nikolas before and enjoy their food. Tonight was a disaster though. Ordered delivery, wings and pizza with a credit card. They brought the pizza but not the wings. Tipped the driver, he said to call back. Girl I spoke to said they'd get the wings right out to me and take 25% off. Great. Wings came, but they didn't put it on my card, so I had to scramble to find cash with enough to tip the driver. Pain in the a$$. Plus they didn't take the 25% off. So I tipped 2 drivers for the same order because it's not the delivery guys fault. Really disappointed.

I stopped here in the summer as I walked back from a day downtown. I recently moved to Newport, so this just happened to be on my walk home. We got a thin crusted pizza...I think it was called the Italiana (artichoke, prosciutto, and the regular) and some wine. We thought it was pretty good. What we didn't like, and what took away a star, was the fact that the person in charge owner, manager, not sure) was demeaning one of his employees behind the cash register...for a LONG time. It was awkward and frankly bad business. The young boy seemed clearly utterly whipped. I think he got it after the first few minutes. The rest was just mean, especially considering there were about 8 other 5 other employees just loitering, listening.

The Greek salad is so good! The downside is that this place is a bit expensive for what you get. When you order a salad the 'default' is the large and when you order a cold beverage for delivery ( I ordered an iced tea) it's TINY and they charge like two and a half bucks for it. My buffalo wings were dry and tasted like they were cooked an hour before. They probably were as it took them an hour to deliver to a location 1 mile away. Probably won't order from here again. The three stars is for the salad- it hit the spot.

We ordered pizza on a very stormy 4th of July, and the delivery man showed up with only four pizzas, when we had ordered five. We were upset, because we had a lot of people over for dinner, but the delivery man was so nice and apologized profusely. He immediately went back and got us the missing pizza for no charge. Fantastic service! Even better, the pizza was great. Definitely recommend the prosciutto and artichoke hearts pizza as well as the chicken pesto pizza.

Came in to get wings and a couple beers with my boyfriend. Noticed they've remodeled the place but I haven't been here in years so I'm not sure when. It looks nice. Unfortunately wasn''t that impressed with the food. Our waitress was very sweet and quick to get us anything we needed. I ordered a Shock Top draft I think it was, and it was completely unbearably flat. I had to send it back and then really they had no other interesting beers to swap it for so I ended up with a Bud Light meh. The wings were actually cooked very well but the sauce wasn't evenly applied so you kinda had to roll them. They were still the best part of the meal. We also ordered a meat lovers pizza. The ground beef tasted unseasoned and bland. Overall the pizza was nothing to write home about. It tasted better actually cold at 2 am the next day...but that could've been the munchies.

This place was great! I came here with 3 other people and got sat down in the corner near the windows which was nice. The waitress was extremely nice to us and very easy on the eyes (if you know what I mean). She checked up on us constantly which in my experiences was very few and far between so I thought she was the bee's knees when it came to being an awesome server. We ordered the Teriyaki and barbecued flavored wings and it wasn't all that great. I thought the consistency was great because it was crispy, tender and came in a decent sized portion. What I didn't like was the fact that they were overly sauced and the flavor was very intense. For my entree I got the Gyro which was the tits! It was delicious and I don't say that often enough. They put in a LOT of sauce on it but for some reason it just worked. Normally I wouldn't like sauces to be overflowing but it just worked and the meat was seasoned to perfection. It came with a small bag of lays potato chips and cost 9.99 which I thought was pretty pricey for such a small Gyro and a 25 cent bag of chips. I mean if they gave me fries with it then I would be ok.. even a pickle! But still.. it was delicious. I loved the interior, it was very quaint and charming. There was a retro mini arcade game in the corner which was really cool. I thought the service was awesome, plenty of parking outside and nice decor.. what else is there to ask for?

I've been here twice and this is a great restaurant. I have no idea why it isn't 4.5 stars. The menu is comprehensive, huge and won't leave anyone in your party searching for something. The staff is top notch. Very attentive, polite, quick to refill drinks and get me whatever I needed. It's almost to good, where they're eyeballing me to get me a refill. I'm disturbed with the other yelpers in the area with their absurd expectations. Food is really good, free wifi, great staff, location is good. 5 or 4.5 stars for a pizza place in Newport.

I love this place. I get pizza and wings here all the time. My favorite is their onion, spinach, tomato topping pizza. They also have a great special on Thursdays: two pizzas, pitcher of sangria, and salad for $30. This is my go-to pizza place and I always bring my mom and sister here when they visit!

I must say, I've been here four years and Nikolas never appealed to me until I went with friends, actually sat down, and ordered food from the menu - a ton of food. We had the new Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza - delicious - the Greek Platter - even more delicious - and a few other sides. After that sitting, I've been craving Greek food like nobody's business. Definitely changed my mind. I think taking out pizza is the least Nikolas has to offer and everyone should go have a seat and see what its all about. It's really quite nice :)

Anne R.
This is the best pizza on the island. I love the Italiano- if you are getting a large add extra cheese and meat. The salad are great- good idea to get the dressing on the side- the salad keeps longer. I just tried the chicken and romaine salad- great with a fantastic dressing. It was so good- it made me take a second look at the menu. The whole chicken with a greek salad for under $20 is the next takeout to try- haven't had good takeout chicken on the island. I've heard great things about the wings too. It seems there is one manager/owner who is great and another who is not. They do have a senior discount card- 25%- if you qualify- ask about it. I'm surprized the the rating are so low-it is a favorite on the island with late hours for service industry people.
My boyfriend and I order from here at least every other week because we do enjoy the food. We always do delivery, never eat in. Lately it's been one issue after the next. But when we finally realized what we have been paying for all these just ok meals we must admit we are truly disappointed. This is just a few of our recent issues: When we recently had an order delivered 1. They forgot the salad to the gyro platter 2. The delivery man had taken about an hour and also arrived with no change, forcing us to have to give him $7 as a tip. Another time when we ordered two gyro platters and an order of motzeralla sticks and were told it would be $35 we decided to check the prices online thinking this was high for this little meal. After failing to find an official Nikolas website, we just looked at the first menu that came up in google. This menu informed us that gyro platters should be $10.25 and motzeralla sticks were $5.95. We immediately called back to make sure the price was right. The girl on the phone then informed us that 1. yes our total of $35 was correct 2. if we google them an outdated website would come up. The delivery man was older and very confused, he even called before he left to check our address and also we assume he wouldn't have a cell phone. The food was good but costly. This is my first review about anything but I have just been so disappointed with the service and the prices I've been paying that I had to let it be known.

Found this place listed as a "dog friendly" restaraunt on a website. We sat on the porch with our little dog and from the minute we got there they were rude. I specifically asked the hostess if we were allowed to sit with our dog and she said yes. Throughout the meal she kept coming over and telling us our dog could not cross a certain line and that we needed to keep her from barking. Understandable but the dog barked maybe 3 times over the course of our meal. They made us feel so unwelcomed that we decided to box our meals and leave. We had to wait over a half hour for the waitress to come back. Very very rude people and horrible service! Not worth it for sub par pizza and wings. Never going back again.

The razor thin pizza is now my favorite style of pizza! The mushrooms and other veggies were fresh and the pizza was cooked perfectly-- not soggy like some thin crust can be. I sat outside and enjoyed the lovely Newport night with a beer. Great staff, and I will definitely be coming back!

Holly G.
Our razor thin pizza was so soggy it could barely be held. Our NY style pepperoni was clearly made by someone who had never had NY style pizza. The edges were so dry and burnt even the kids wouldnt eat it. The sauce was flavorful but the crust on both pizzas was so bad it completely overshadowed any positive vibe our party of 6 could muster. We had an extremely pleasant waiter and the ambience was decent - so I am giving it 2 stars.

It was past 11PM, and we haven't had dinner. So we were hungry and Newport is not exactly a late night town. Found this place on Yelp and it's near our hotel. We actually passed it a few times. So we went and they looked like they were closing, but they weren't. I guess it was just dead because of the hour. We didn't want anything incredibly heavy so we skipped the pizza. Frankly, we are from NYC so we'd most likely be disappointed with the pizza. So we ordered East West wings, and Asian Salad. Both were good. We were happy. Was really tempted to try the chocolate drizzled zeppoles but decided against it. Great spot for late night grub.

I understand that they are busy, and we have ordered from here several times over the past two years. They hired a new female for the front to answer phones and take orders who is surly, and rude. I don't appreciate the way you talked to my wife on the phone.

Hubby and I wanting some wings for Sunday night football we ordered here as wings had great reviews. The wings we got were hard and dry, completely overlooked. The sauce(buffalo) had a great taste but it still didn't help these overlooked dry wings we got! I say if your looking for wings keep looking.

We came in yesterday for lunch. We got the onion rings, lasagna with garlic bread, thin crust hawaiin pizza, iced coffee, and baklava. All of the food was good with the exception of the baklava, too dry. Also it was half of the size it should be for being over $3. Good service. Would try again

Phenomenal. Anyone who says otherwise is a real prick. This place is a staple. We love the food, and the people who work there are great. Please don't ever go away, and get rid of anyone complaining. Anyone who complains about Nikolas Pizza knows nothing about food, and is better off at fast food joints eating crap. Great restaurants will never have perfect reviews, because so much of the population has no taste, and eats so much junk, they don't even know the friggin difference. Leave it to the experts, thank you.

The salad is inedible. They use old lettuce and the outer leaves of the Romaine that I throw away at home. This is more than half the salad. They are cutting too many corners for a pricey, small salad. I won't order from them again. And I am local, a Newporter.

Ladyjane S.
Been here a few times, and they've got pretty decent food. The pizzas are slightly better than average Greek style pizzas. What I like about this place is the freshness of the toppings and the yummy ricotta they use. Everyone I know gets pizza with ricotta here and I can see why. The service is pretty good, considering we're usually here after a night of shenanigans, and they serve food past 10pm which is KILLER.
(4)
John T.
Just not impressed. The food was ok but the place was dirty and the service, despite being one of a few customers, was slow and lackluster. Again, the food is mediocre at best and so not worth the price. I really do not know what the expectations are of other reviewers but I have eaten so much better at less expensive places that do a good Greek style pizza.

I wish I could write a respectable review for Nikolas Pizza, but lets be real; I was @#(*faced, it was 2 am, and I'm not wholly unconvinced that taco bell wouldn't have cut it. (Although I would have hated myself for it the next day, obviously) Thin crust pizza, quick and friendly service to my drunken cohorts, and an old school juke box. Off the beaten path of Memorial and Thames, Nikolas is a damn good slice of pie. Give it a try! (open till 2ish!)

Matthew Z.
Sometimes a place goes out its way to please a fussy customer...Nikolas Pizza did just that. When my Take Out order did not arrive as ordered the person who handled my telephone complaint had the manager (or owner?) call me back and he insisted on replacing it with THE PERFECT PIZZA...The one I've been chasing for all these years...Seriously Well-done I'm a BIG FAN

Ryan W.
I have a history with Nikolas. I've been friends with people that ended up working there, and made friends with people because they've worked there. I don't get to eat their food as much as when I was a local in Newport, and I miss it. There aren't many pizza places that can live up to NIkolas where I live now. Any time I'm in Newport and have a chance to grab something, like their East/West wings for example, I usually do. Even if it means getting home VERY late and not getting much sleep the next day. If food is that good, you will deprive yourself of sleep just for the chance to eat it.

This place has the best service. My friends and I had to wait outside on a relatively warm night in October due to the 6 people we had, and the owner came over as soon as we sat down and have us free drinks and desserts. Good was excellent, and a friendly atmosphere, along with the amazing service. They even deliver, and were very understanding when I wanted to add more to my order, even after I called it in.

My buddy and I had just completed the Polar Plunge and were needing some good fuel to get our bodies warm. I like the ambiance but the pizza was average.The crust was a little too thin for me and it did not seem to be cooked completely through . A positive is that the pizza was not greasy.

Niko S.
Nice Greek style pizza restaurant. We've been here four times over the past few years. The atmosphere is inviting and the patio, now closed in, with the view of the street is appealing. The menu has great selection and has everything you would expect to find at a typical Greek pizza house. The pizza is average for Greek style (thicker crust pan pizza). There's a plentiful selection of toppings as well. The staff seems friendly and I have yet to experience anything negative in that department. Overall, this is a great place if you're looking for something simple and for casual meals.

Jason G.
I had heard great things about this restaurant and have wanted to try it for a while. However, after a late delivery (over 1 hour 10 minutes from order time), I have been thoroughly disappointed. I gave them two stars rather than 1 because of their 25% off coupon and subsequent support for our Troops- so thank you to the restaurant for that before I bash them. That being said, I had the BBQ chicken pizza (despite my desire to go to Via Via for this pie). My pizza was freezing cold and could not have been worse. The sauce was pretty much ketchup and the taste was terrible. If you're thinking of any type of pizza other than the standard pepperoni or a Greek special, I would recommend steering clear of their pizza. This pizza was so bad, I actually got a yelp account to do my civic duty and warn people about this pie.

yum yum yum yum. looooovvvveee this place. Always our stop for lunch when we go into newport. Little Nickys are delish and the bacon ranch pizza is the best I've had. They have recently expanded, which is great because the seating area was pretty tight on busy days. Staff is friendly and welcoming, always willing to offer suggestions. It does have family feel, and it's great to hang out. They don't rush you out. Great food for great prices.

This is a great little place to eat. The food is priced just right and delicious. I have gotten sandwiches, pizza, and calzones...all were amazing. This is my favorite place to eat in Newport.

I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and it was just OK. In Nikolas's defense, this is really a pizza place. Others at my table got pizza and calzones and that was fantastic. If you're looking for great pizza in Newport, then this is the place. The desserts are large and yummy. The portions were gigantic. If you can, plan on bringing some home. The service was acceptable, but not very friendly. The waitress seemed detached from her job. I assume it usually is more friendly on a regular basis.

Ok well maybe not 4 stars on any other day, but I needed pizza, wanted delivery and there didn't seem to be any pizza places in Newport worthy of 4 stars by Yelpers standards. So I went with the first place that popped up and they totally came through! Have a tomato-phobe that I had to accommodate (always fun when going Italian!) so I asked for a white pizza and just a regular pizza with lots of meat. Super friendly service, delivery guy was on time and not bothered that he had to find me on a boat and the pizza was pretty darn good. Ran about $40 for 2 larges, but in this case the convenience was worth it.

Been to this place twice; once dined in and once delivered. Dining in: This was back before their renovations/expansion. The parking lot is extra small so be prepared to park on the street where there are active parking meters during the summer months. It was very warm inside and rather crammed which is why they probably expanded. Staff was nice and food was up to par. Their homemade sangria is pretty good and I am not a huge fan of sangria. Pizza (very thin) was also pretty good...not the best I've ever had. Their calzones are huge and a small could easily feed more than 1 person. Delivery: Got hungry at around 11 pm and we wanted to eat out but didn't feel like going out so found out they were opened and delivered for free. Took about 45 minutes to arrive but everything arrived hot. Definite bonus!

Just went back and had sammitches this evening, and they were rather good. I had the Italian, and my wife had a Philly. The Italian was tasty, with high quality meats, and not too strong of a dressing. The Philly, while not particularly authentic, looked good, and the wife really enjoyed it. So this place continues to impress, and it is walking distance, so we will be back soon I'm sure.

Stopped in around 9:30 pm on Friday. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite after a charity event. We ordered the small (10") chicken bacon ranch pizza to go. It was ready in about 15 minutes. It was perfect to share as a snack but if you are hungry for a meal size up. Very tasty!

Lindsay W.
Don't go here if you're seeking out quality, super tasty Italian food. But if you're looking for a great deal and a place that's pretty easy to get in and out of, Nikolas Pizza is your spot. Be sure to check out their online coupons - they're pretty incredible. Last one I took advantage of was a large pizza and pitcher of beer for $10. Beat that deal.

Emma M.
Nothing special...but for a Salve Regina student that sometimes needs to eat out or get take out...this is the place for that. Good variety of food, close to campus and downtown....something for everyone: pizza, burgers, salads, even fish and chips. The calzones really bothered me. I'm from New Haven, CT (the best pizza around!) and I know my dough. The calzones were lacking ricotta cheese and flavor (some garlic would have helped). Never ever have I see a ricotta-less calzone. Come on! The fish and chips are actually pretty good. The beer batter is crunchy and the portions are huge! Two big filets. Homemade tartar sauce and fries..YUM! I've heard the thin-crust pizza is ok. There is a good variety of topping choices and the 10 inch is good for a single serving..maybe even extra to bring home and put in the fridge. As far as service, the delivery is "fast and free", which is super convenient. The actual restaurant is pretty small so sometimes it is hard to get a table. The waiters always seem to be nice and helpful. I would recommend Nikolas if you need a quick, simple meal or just to share a pie. If you're just visiting Newport, try somewhere else...you'll have a better tourist experience at Brick Alley Pub (on Thames) or Salvation Cafe (on Broadway).

It was the summer of 2001, and I had the worst service that I have ever received in my entire dining experience. We sat at the counter and our waitress completely ignored my friend and I. It took forever for her to take our order, she obviously didnt want to be there, and finally she took forever to cash us out while she talked to her friend.I wasn't sure if I needed to tip sitting at the counter (I was young) So she comes running out shouting is everything ok (in a demeaning voice) so I gave her a few dollars. I have regretted it everyday since lol.... I should have thrown the money on the ground, and made her pick it up like the dog that she was. Oh, the food is pretty good if you like greek style pizza this is the place on the island :) My favorite is the mushroom pizza.

I thought this was just a pizza place - WRONG! We use it for take-out but there is a popular restaurant. Try the "spinach pies" (spinach triangles in phyllo). Meatball calzone comes with mozzarella only, marinara sauce on the side, but you can ask for ricotta if you want. Good for nights when there's nothing to eat and it's already late!

Awesome pizza!!! Michelle's Razor Thin pizza is a must. Stopped by for a quick lunch while on travel and asked the waitress, Michelle (go figure!) what she recommended. This pizza was perfect. Thin crisp crust, great flavor. Just wish I lived there so I could eat it more often!

Got some pizza that fulfilled late night drunk munchies...it was great. It was open late and they delivered. The wings were unexpectedly great. I was full and happy. Can't ask for more.

Slooow service. Pizza was good. A lot of employees behind the counter, but they ignore customers in the dining area. The employees are standing around talking to each other. Other tables were waiting too. It's excessive.

Great pizza and salads in a super casual restaurant. Be warned though, pizza is really greasy.

Great pizza and best wings, try the east/west wings they're amazing!

It was okay. The waitstaff was nice but the food was a typical pizzeria fast food joint. It is a good place to brings the kids.

A little wee bit out of the way but they have their own parking lot! Of course, our car got scraped but that wasn't the fault of the restaurant! The food was decent - good pizza, the buffalo wings were really good. The antipasto salad was great. My husband's sub was good (not the best he's had but decent). We sat out on the patio which was really nice. Good sangria too! Sucks they don't take credit cards!!!

best pizza in Newport and it's open late (2am)? Win-Win...

Excellent pizza. If you don't feel like dealing with the parking situation down near all the shops and the marina etc, and you'd like a quick and inexpensive meal, they had really good pizza. I'd eat here again rather than deal with those crowds and trying to find parking.

This is my first review on Yelp. Im from out of town and ordered the Tuna Sandwich a few days ago, and it was ok. It was a perfect portion for me, probably enough food for lunch and dinner for normal people, lol. Today I ordered the Gyro Platter and it was so dissapointing. First, they forgot my greek salad, and its 20 minutes and counting from the time I notifed them that they forgot. Second, they gyro meat looked like sausages and not the real gyro that is shaved off the wheel. Only reason its getting two stars is for the tuna sandwich that was ok.

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.

If you're looking for quality pizza in a relatively uncrowded spot near all the shops, this is it. Parking was easy, as they have their own lot so no parking and having to backtrack to get to the restaurant. The food itself was great. The dough used for the pizza was soft while still having a crispy bottom, and all the toppings were hella good. The service was nice- our waiter took off the cost of 1 pizza after it was slightly messed up in the creation and took good care of us. If you're hungry for pizza, you should definitely hit this place up.

We stopped in here on our way out of Newport b/c our daughter wanted pizza. Ok, we can swing that. She had a small pepperoni pizza which was perfect for her to have for dinner and end up with a couple of slices to take home. We split a chicken parm sandwich and it was awesome, great sauce. Now . . . it got a little hairy with the bruschetta - I like a traditional, straightforward bruschetta - tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil on some nice crispy bread. This came out on a pita-type bread and it was loaded with stuff artichoke heart, roasted red pepper, mushroom I think . . . Not at all what anyone expected, I might not have read the menu description, I can't remember if it said all that. On the bill it was noted that we got a 'large order' which we certainly didn't ask for. Our waitress was good and efficient, Brenda.
(3)Hamish H.
Worst wings Lasagne was frozen not fresh Phili cheese steak was bland Asian chicken salad? More like Asian newspaper paper salad. Dry tasteless and boring! Gyro sub par And the soup was definitely out of a can. By far the worst meal in Rhode Island.
(1)Katie Y.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe the way they treated us. We ordered a pizza and pig skins from this "business" to be delivered. They said the wait would be an hour and a half before the food would be delivered, which was fine with us. 2 hours later of waiting we called and they said they through away our food because they couldn't find our address! I can't believe this place is still in business. A complete waste of your money and time!!! NEVER GO HERE.
(1)Craig S.
Excellent pizza and garlic bread, I mean excellent. I'm coming back many more times, cute inside and outside seating, good service Parking on site and around the corner. I may even bring my wife here or just keep as my secret goto place... Oh yes lots of Greek foods.
(5)Lauren M.
Took way longer than said, and delivered the wrong order. Absolutely terrible service
(1)Chris L.
So just stopped in for a late lunch and wow what a disappointment. I got a "antipasti salad". It had literally one olive, straight out of the supermarket american ham and salami. In no way was this salad related to antipasti. Some other items at our table were a ridiculous excuse for potato skins (they were tiny), and a small cheese pizza that looked to be frozen (not sure). Literally the only thing that was ok was my cup of clam chowder ,and the service. I won't be back, nor will I get drlivery. Haha
(1)Anthony S.
Ordered for pickup, had plenty of trouble ordering a simple split topping pizza (my medium split two-topping pizza somehow came out to $25). Upon entering the restaurant, I watched them take my pizza out of the oven which appeared to have incorrect toppings on it. I had to fight to get the attention of one of at least four of the staff sitting behind the counter talking amongst each other, and asked if the toppings were correct. I received a snarky reply from one of the girls who didn't even see the pizza, and they actually refused to own up to the mistake despite the proper order being written on the slip. I simply took the incorrect pizza because I didn't feel like arguing and waiting any longer. In the end, the food tasted good, but not for the money, rude service, and aggravation of the whole thing.
(2)Rich S.
Have been ordering from here for years. Now their prices don't match the website and when u ask for extra blue cheese they don't bring it and say whoever took the order didn't put it in so I didn't get charged for it. The last time I ordered the same thing happened. I live the food but this is the last time I will order from them. Probably the most over priced pizza in the island anyway. Extra cheese now is a premium topping and they charge 4.25 for it too.
(1)Annie D.
Nickolas pizza: can not accommodate for food allergies... unreliable for flours and cannot be guaranteed for other ingredients processed in other faculties...ordered sodas..and on way out made us pay for them...bad bissness move. Unfortunate that a tasty place can not be equipped to handle the modern world's crisis. Bland service, and limited drink options. ($12 dollars just on drinks for 4...) If you have allergies, would not recommend, trying.
(1)Christopher P.
Wish I could even comment on the food. Walked in, requested a seat for my group of four. Was told no seats we're available even though and empty table was sitting right in front of us. Asked about it and was told that wasn't possible because that table could accommodate 6 and we only had 4!? Complete joke.
(1)Peter F.
Didn't get a chance to eat here. My wife inquired what food would not be safe for our son with a nut allergy. Hostess said nothing would be safe and recommend that we not eat there. Really? Nothing safe at a pizza place? Very rude and did not want to take time try see what food items could be safe.
(1)Jennifer J.
Went here for a low cost dinner after a nice spa day. Staff was friendly and gave great suggestions! Food could not have been better. We had the lil niki's... Amazing dough like pieces covered in garlic butter and parm cheese. The ranch chicken pizza is a must!
(5)Kim B.
As I have mentioned before, there aren't many good pizza places in Newport (you have to go to the other side of the island for that). I would say Nikolas' is definitely at the top of the ones in Newport. It is equally good for takeout/delivery as for eat in. If you eat in, I would do it in the summer. You can sit out on the patio, or sit in a covered patio... on beautiful nights it really is charming. The inside is authentic, and looks like your typical pizza place. The other foods besides pizzas are also delicious (ie, pasta dishes and chicken fingers). Great if you want a casual place with good food!
(4)Samantha S.
Ended up here because it was the only restaurant I could find with parking. Food was good but nothing memorable. Service was very good. Restrooms were horrible. Kitchen was hopefully cleaner.
(2)Lauren E.
i ordered a prosciutto, provolone, olive oil and whole wheat wrap. it was made with very low quality meat, tasted like cheap deli ham. the whole thing was dry, super salty and not tasty at all. the service and waiting time was great, but i really hope that their pizza is much better
(1)Jason B.
Work in the area and having been meaning to try them for months and finally did. Great pizza. Nice atmosphere. Only complaint would be that the first time I went there was a random charge of .34 cents and the second time .29 cents. Wasn't tax or anything and both times I only got a pizza for takeout. Not that big deal as when something like and unexplained charge like that happens I just take it out of the tip, just weird and a little off-putting.
(4)E Peter D.
Five Star Pizza. The way they used to make it in the old days in New York City. Delicious sauce,delicious crust,delicious cheese. We especially loved the four cheese pizza. I was very surprised that I could get pizza this good in Newport, RI.
(5)Annmarie S.
One of the worst meals I have had on the island. In years past food has been great but has significantly gone down hill. The gyro wrap was 3 pieces of meat thrown on a soggy pita with a few diced tomatoes and onion underneath. What I have had at other similar restaurants is beautiful wraps with shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes, olives and feta so big you need two hands to eat it. If that's what you are looking for this is NOT the place to go. The Greek chicken I have come to love is now over marinated, overcooked & way too salty. What they DO RIGHT is salads si stick with them. Unfortunately won't be ordering from here anymore!
(2)Don C.
Bad experience. I've ordered from Nikolas before and enjoy their food. Tonight was a disaster though. Ordered delivery, wings and pizza with a credit card. They brought the pizza but not the wings. Tipped the driver, he said to call back. Girl I spoke to said they'd get the wings right out to me and take 25% off. Great. Wings came, but they didn't put it on my card, so I had to scramble to find cash with enough to tip the driver. Pain in the a$$. Plus they didn't take the 25% off. So I tipped 2 drivers for the same order because it's not the delivery guys fault. Really disappointed.
(1)Amanda M.
I stopped here in the summer as I walked back from a day downtown. I recently moved to Newport, so this just happened to be on my walk home. We got a thin crusted pizza...I think it was called the Italiana (artichoke, prosciutto, and the regular) and some wine. We thought it was pretty good. What we didn't like, and what took away a star, was the fact that the person in charge owner, manager, not sure) was demeaning one of his employees behind the cash register...for a LONG time. It was awkward and frankly bad business. The young boy seemed clearly utterly whipped. I think he got it after the first few minutes. The rest was just mean, especially considering there were about 8 other 5 other employees just loitering, listening.
(3)Kevin C.
Great Wings!!!! Had the East/West awesome sauce!!!! Then a large ultimate pizza!!! Outstanding would definitely eat here again. Outstanding Service also.
(5)Erni M.
Pizza was excellent. Location convenient and really a cool piece of real estate. We also had the italian grinder that I felt indifferent about and my husband enjoyed. Would recommend the thin crust pizza. Very flavorful
(4)Jess N.
The Greek salad is so good! The downside is that this place is a bit expensive for what you get. When you order a salad the 'default' is the large and when you order a cold beverage for delivery ( I ordered an iced tea) it's TINY and they charge like two and a half bucks for it. My buffalo wings were dry and tasted like they were cooked an hour before. They probably were as it took them an hour to deliver to a location 1 mile away. Probably won't order from here again. The three stars is for the salad- it hit the spot.
(3)Cara H.
We ordered pizza on a very stormy 4th of July, and the delivery man showed up with only four pizzas, when we had ordered five. We were upset, because we had a lot of people over for dinner, but the delivery man was so nice and apologized profusely. He immediately went back and got us the missing pizza for no charge. Fantastic service! Even better, the pizza was great. Definitely recommend the prosciutto and artichoke hearts pizza as well as the chicken pesto pizza.
(5)Ayo T.
Came in to get wings and a couple beers with my boyfriend. Noticed they've remodeled the place but I haven't been here in years so I'm not sure when. It looks nice. Unfortunately wasn''t that impressed with the food. Our waitress was very sweet and quick to get us anything we needed. I ordered a Shock Top draft I think it was, and it was completely unbearably flat. I had to send it back and then really they had no other interesting beers to swap it for so I ended up with a Bud Light meh. The wings were actually cooked very well but the sauce wasn't evenly applied so you kinda had to roll them. They were still the best part of the meal. We also ordered a meat lovers pizza. The ground beef tasted unseasoned and bland. Overall the pizza was nothing to write home about. It tasted better actually cold at 2 am the next day...but that could've been the munchies.
(3)Yo K.
Great razor thin pizza, sangria is always a great choice.
(5)Vezna S.
This place was great! I came here with 3 other people and got sat down in the corner near the windows which was nice. The waitress was extremely nice to us and very easy on the eyes (if you know what I mean). She checked up on us constantly which in my experiences was very few and far between so I thought she was the bee's knees when it came to being an awesome server. We ordered the Teriyaki and barbecued flavored wings and it wasn't all that great. I thought the consistency was great because it was crispy, tender and came in a decent sized portion. What I didn't like was the fact that they were overly sauced and the flavor was very intense. For my entree I got the Gyro which was the tits! It was delicious and I don't say that often enough. They put in a LOT of sauce on it but for some reason it just worked. Normally I wouldn't like sauces to be overflowing but it just worked and the meat was seasoned to perfection. It came with a small bag of lays potato chips and cost 9.99 which I thought was pretty pricey for such a small Gyro and a 25 cent bag of chips. I mean if they gave me fries with it then I would be ok.. even a pickle! But still.. it was delicious. I loved the interior, it was very quaint and charming. There was a retro mini arcade game in the corner which was really cool. I thought the service was awesome, plenty of parking outside and nice decor.. what else is there to ask for?
(5)Randy W.
I've been here twice and this is a great restaurant. I have no idea why it isn't 4.5 stars. The menu is comprehensive, huge and won't leave anyone in your party searching for something. The staff is top notch. Very attentive, polite, quick to refill drinks and get me whatever I needed. It's almost to good, where they're eyeballing me to get me a refill. I'm disturbed with the other yelpers in the area with their absurd expectations. Food is really good, free wifi, great staff, location is good. 5 or 4.5 stars for a pizza place in Newport.
(5)Nick M.
Good thing they were open late night....my girlfriend was starvin'!! Pizza isn't too bad.
(3)Pegah S.
We have ordered their pizza and wings four times now and each time the delivery was fast and the food is delicious. Our #1 choice in pizza!!
(5)Miryam Y.
I love this place. I get pizza and wings here all the time. My favorite is their onion, spinach, tomato topping pizza. They also have a great special on Thursdays: two pizzas, pitcher of sangria, and salad for $30. This is my go-to pizza place and I always bring my mom and sister here when they visit!
(4)Sarah R.
I must say, I've been here four years and Nikolas never appealed to me until I went with friends, actually sat down, and ordered food from the menu - a ton of food. We had the new Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza - delicious - the Greek Platter - even more delicious - and a few other sides. After that sitting, I've been craving Greek food like nobody's business. Definitely changed my mind. I think taking out pizza is the least Nikolas has to offer and everyone should go have a seat and see what its all about. It's really quite nice :)
(4)Anne R.
This is the best pizza on the island. I love the Italiano- if you are getting a large add extra cheese and meat. The salad are great- good idea to get the dressing on the side- the salad keeps longer. I just tried the chicken and romaine salad- great with a fantastic dressing. It was so good- it made me take a second look at the menu. The whole chicken with a greek salad for under $20 is the next takeout to try- haven't had good takeout chicken on the island. I've heard great things about the wings too. It seems there is one manager/owner who is great and another who is not. They do have a senior discount card- 25%- if you qualify- ask about it. I'm surprized the the rating are so low-it is a favorite on the island with late hours for service industry people.
(5)Melissa B.
I highly recommend Nikolas Pizza! My fiancé and I got takeout tonight and were very pleased with our meal. We started with the wings (Italian flavored) and they were really flavorful and crispy. We then each got our own razor pizzas. The razor pizza is made with a very thin crust (which is perfect if you are watching your carb intake). I got mine with meatball and sundried tomatoes and he got one with sausage and spinach. They come in a 12" size which you could eat in one sitting if you are very hungry or save some for another meal. So, all in all, we will be going back!
(4)Paige E.
My boyfriend and I order from here at least every other week because we do enjoy the food. We always do delivery, never eat in. Lately it's been one issue after the next. But when we finally realized what we have been paying for all these just ok meals we must admit we are truly disappointed. This is just a few of our recent issues: When we recently had an order delivered 1. They forgot the salad to the gyro platter 2. The delivery man had taken about an hour and also arrived with no change, forcing us to have to give him $7 as a tip. Another time when we ordered two gyro platters and an order of motzeralla sticks and were told it would be $35 we decided to check the prices online thinking this was high for this little meal. After failing to find an official Nikolas website, we just looked at the first menu that came up in google. This menu informed us that gyro platters should be $10.25 and motzeralla sticks were $5.95. We immediately called back to make sure the price was right. The girl on the phone then informed us that 1. yes our total of $35 was correct 2. if we google them an outdated website would come up. The delivery man was older and very confused, he even called before he left to check our address and also we assume he wouldn't have a cell phone. The food was good but costly. This is my first review about anything but I have just been so disappointed with the service and the prices I've been paying that I had to let it be known.
(3)Matt M.
Umm, two calzones with 3 toppings for $47 dollars!! Wtf!!!! Totally outrageous and not that great. Complete waste of money
(1)Amanda S.
Great place to go to after a night out in Newport. Love their sandwiches, pizza, and Greek food. Service is great and their dinning room is new and improved.
(4)Molly C.
Found this place listed as a "dog friendly" restaraunt on a website. We sat on the porch with our little dog and from the minute we got there they were rude. I specifically asked the hostess if we were allowed to sit with our dog and she said yes. Throughout the meal she kept coming over and telling us our dog could not cross a certain line and that we needed to keep her from barking. Understandable but the dog barked maybe 3 times over the course of our meal. They made us feel so unwelcomed that we decided to box our meals and leave. We had to wait over a half hour for the waitress to come back. Very very rude people and horrible service! Not worth it for sub par pizza and wings. Never going back again.
(1)Pam R.
The razor thin pizza is now my favorite style of pizza! The mushrooms and other veggies were fresh and the pizza was cooked perfectly-- not soggy like some thin crust can be. I sat outside and enjoyed the lovely Newport night with a beer. Great staff, and I will definitely be coming back!
(5)Holly G.
Our razor thin pizza was so soggy it could barely be held. Our NY style pepperoni was clearly made by someone who had never had NY style pizza. The edges were so dry and burnt even the kids wouldnt eat it. The sauce was flavorful but the crust on both pizzas was so bad it completely overshadowed any positive vibe our party of 6 could muster. We had an extremely pleasant waiter and the ambience was decent - so I am giving it 2 stars.
(2)Gina I.
Perhaps it's because we're spoiled with NJ/NY pizza but WAKE UP, NEWPORT! Not only is this place overpriced but it's really not all that good.
(2)Esther T.
It was past 11PM, and we haven't had dinner. So we were hungry and Newport is not exactly a late night town. Found this place on Yelp and it's near our hotel. We actually passed it a few times. So we went and they looked like they were closing, but they weren't. I guess it was just dead because of the hour. We didn't want anything incredibly heavy so we skipped the pizza. Frankly, we are from NYC so we'd most likely be disappointed with the pizza. So we ordered East West wings, and Asian Salad. Both were good. We were happy. Was really tempted to try the chocolate drizzled zeppoles but decided against it. Great spot for late night grub.
(3)Douglas Q.
I understand that they are busy, and we have ordered from here several times over the past two years. They hired a new female for the front to answer phones and take orders who is surly, and rude. I don't appreciate the way you talked to my wife on the phone.
(1)Crystal W.
Hubby and I wanting some wings for Sunday night football we ordered here as wings had great reviews. The wings we got were hard and dry, completely overlooked. The sauce(buffalo) had a great taste but it still didn't help these overlooked dry wings we got! I say if your looking for wings keep looking.
(3)Jessica S.
We came in yesterday for lunch. We got the onion rings, lasagna with garlic bread, thin crust hawaiin pizza, iced coffee, and baklava. All of the food was good with the exception of the baklava, too dry. Also it was half of the size it should be for being over $3. Good service. Would try again
(4)Ron G.
we had the calzones. they were good, not too much dough. one thing, parking is not so good. very small lot.
(3)Nigel C.
Phenomenal. Anyone who says otherwise is a real prick. This place is a staple. We love the food, and the people who work there are great. Please don't ever go away, and get rid of anyone complaining. Anyone who complains about Nikolas Pizza knows nothing about food, and is better off at fast food joints eating crap. Great restaurants will never have perfect reviews, because so much of the population has no taste, and eats so much junk, they don't even know the friggin difference. Leave it to the experts, thank you.
(5)Joseph F.
Everything is great ! Salads are fantastic ! Eggplant w pasta is great for a pizza shop, the greek chicken is delish ! I prefer there RAZOR pizza to the regular crust..... Def the Veggie Razor pizza... paper thin and crunch ! MMMMMM
(4)Kathy P.
The salad is inedible. They use old lettuce and the outer leaves of the Romaine that I throw away at home. This is more than half the salad. They are cutting too many corners for a pricey, small salad. I won't order from them again. And I am local, a Newporter.
(2)Ladyjane S.
Been here a few times, and they've got pretty decent food. The pizzas are slightly better than average Greek style pizzas. What I like about this place is the freshness of the toppings and the yummy ricotta they use. Everyone I know gets pizza with ricotta here and I can see why. The service is pretty good, considering we're usually here after a night of shenanigans, and they serve food past 10pm which is KILLER.
(4)John T.
Just not impressed. The food was ok but the place was dirty and the service, despite being one of a few customers, was slow and lackluster. Again, the food is mediocre at best and so not worth the price. I really do not know what the expectations are of other reviewers but I have eaten so much better at less expensive places that do a good Greek style pizza.
(2)Josh F.
I wish I could write a respectable review for Nikolas Pizza, but lets be real; I was @#(*faced, it was 2 am, and I'm not wholly unconvinced that taco bell wouldn't have cut it. (Although I would have hated myself for it the next day, obviously) Thin crust pizza, quick and friendly service to my drunken cohorts, and an old school juke box. Off the beaten path of Memorial and Thames, Nikolas is a damn good slice of pie. Give it a try! (open till 2ish!)
(4)Matthew Z.
Sometimes a place goes out its way to please a fussy customer...Nikolas Pizza did just that. When my Take Out order did not arrive as ordered the person who handled my telephone complaint had the manager (or owner?) call me back and he insisted on replacing it with THE PERFECT PIZZA...The one I've been chasing for all these years...Seriously Well-done I'm a BIG FAN
(4)Ryan W.
I have a history with Nikolas. I've been friends with people that ended up working there, and made friends with people because they've worked there. I don't get to eat their food as much as when I was a local in Newport, and I miss it. There aren't many pizza places that can live up to NIkolas where I live now. Any time I'm in Newport and have a chance to grab something, like their East/West wings for example, I usually do. Even if it means getting home VERY late and not getting much sleep the next day. If food is that good, you will deprive yourself of sleep just for the chance to eat it.
(4)Audra M.
This place has the best service. My friends and I had to wait outside on a relatively warm night in October due to the 6 people we had, and the owner came over as soon as we sat down and have us free drinks and desserts. Good was excellent, and a friendly atmosphere, along with the amazing service. They even deliver, and were very understanding when I wanted to add more to my order, even after I called it in.
(5)Riley B.
My buddy and I had just completed the Polar Plunge and were needing some good fuel to get our bodies warm. I like the ambiance but the pizza was average.The crust was a little too thin for me and it did not seem to be cooked completely through . A positive is that the pizza was not greasy.
(3)Niko S.
Nice Greek style pizza restaurant. We've been here four times over the past few years. The atmosphere is inviting and the patio, now closed in, with the view of the street is appealing. The menu has great selection and has everything you would expect to find at a typical Greek pizza house. The pizza is average for Greek style (thicker crust pan pizza). There's a plentiful selection of toppings as well. The staff seems friendly and I have yet to experience anything negative in that department. Overall, this is a great place if you're looking for something simple and for casual meals.
(4)Jason G.
I had heard great things about this restaurant and have wanted to try it for a while. However, after a late delivery (over 1 hour 10 minutes from order time), I have been thoroughly disappointed. I gave them two stars rather than 1 because of their 25% off coupon and subsequent support for our Troops- so thank you to the restaurant for that before I bash them. That being said, I had the BBQ chicken pizza (despite my desire to go to Via Via for this pie). My pizza was freezing cold and could not have been worse. The sauce was pretty much ketchup and the taste was terrible. If you're thinking of any type of pizza other than the standard pepperoni or a Greek special, I would recommend steering clear of their pizza. This pizza was so bad, I actually got a yelp account to do my civic duty and warn people about this pie.

I love their razor thin pizza and buffalo wings. Nice staff and pleasant ambience.

Pizza is ok nothing special, prices are way too high for the quality u get.

Good pizza and the newly built outside is gorgeous. I liked the old outdoor seating around the tree so it loses a star for that. Other than that it's a great joint!

yum yum yum yum. looooovvvveee this place. Always our stop for lunch when we go into newport. Little Nickys are delish and the bacon ranch pizza is the best I've had. They have recently expanded, which is great because the seating area was pretty tight on busy days. Staff is friendly and welcoming, always willing to offer suggestions. It does have family feel, and it's great to hang out. They don't rush you out. Great food for great prices.

This is a great little place to eat. The food is priced just right and delicious. I have gotten sandwiches, pizza, and calzones...all were amazing. This is my favorite place to eat in Newport. The service was awesome and the location is fantastic (2 blocks from the heart of downtown). I will be going back daily until I leave Newport.

Somehow in the middle of the night, I found this place on Yelp and called and they delivered at 2 AM. It took a long time, but wasn't bad!

I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and it was just OK. In Nikolas's defense, this is really a pizza place. Others at my table got pizza and calzones and that was fantastic. If you're looking for great pizza in Newport, then this is the place. The desserts are large and yummy. The portions were gigantic. If you can, plan on bringing some home. The service was acceptable, but not very friendly. The waitress seemed detached from her job. I assume it usually is more friendly on a regular basis.

Ok well maybe not 4 stars on any other day, but I needed pizza, wanted delivery and there didn't seem to be any pizza places in Newport worthy of 4 stars by Yelpers standards. So I went with the first place that popped up and they totally came through! Have a tomato-phobe that I had to accommodate (always fun when going Italian!) so I asked for a white pizza and just a regular pizza with lots of meat. Super friendly service, delivery guy was on time and not bothered that he had to find me on a boat and the pizza was pretty darn good. Ran about $40 for 2 larges, but in this case the convenience was worth it.

Been to this place twice; once dined in and once delivered. Dining in: This was back before their renovations/expansion. The parking lot is extra small so be prepared to park on the street where there are active parking meters during the summer months. It was very warm inside and rather crammed which is why they probably expanded. Staff was nice and food was up to par. Their homemade sangria is pretty good and I am not a huge fan of sangria. Pizza (very thin) was also pretty good...not the best I've ever had. Their calzones are huge and a small could easily feed more than 1 person. Delivery: Got hungry at around 11 pm and we wanted to eat out but didn't feel like going out so found out they were opened and delivered for free. Took about 45 minutes to arrive but everything arrived hot. Definite bonus!

Nice inexpensive pizza and greek/italian food. Hubby at the combination pizza right up. I ate much of my greek lasagna. It was very tasty.

Just went back and had sammitches this evening, and they were rather good. I had the Italian, and my wife had a Philly. The Italian was tasty, with high quality meats, and not too strong of a dressing. The Philly, while not particularly authentic, looked good, and the wife really enjoyed it. So this place continues to impress, and it is walking distance, so we will be back soon I'm sure.

Stopped in around 9:30 pm on Friday. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite after a charity event. We ordered the small (10") chicken bacon ranch pizza to go. It was ready in about 15 minutes. It was perfect to share as a snack but if you are hungry for a meal size up. Very tasty!

Don't go here if you're seeking out quality, super tasty Italian food. But if you're looking for a great deal and a place that's pretty easy to get in and out of, Nikolas Pizza is your spot. Be sure to check out their online coupons - they're pretty incredible. Last one I took advantage of was a large pizza and pitcher of beer for $10. Beat that deal.

Nothing special...but for a Salve Regina student that sometimes needs to eat out or get take out...this is the place for that. Good variety of food, close to campus and downtown....something for everyone: pizza, burgers, salads, even fish and chips. The calzones really bothered me. I'm from New Haven, CT (the best pizza around!) and I know my dough. The calzones were lacking ricotta cheese and flavor (some garlic would have helped). Never ever have I see a ricotta-less calzone. Come on! The fish and chips are actually pretty good. The beer batter is crunchy and the portions are huge! Two big filets. Homemade tartar sauce and fries..YUM! I've heard the thin-crust pizza is ok. There is a good variety of topping choices and the 10 inch is good for a single serving..maybe even extra to bring home and put in the fridge. As far as service, the delivery is "fast and free", which is super convenient. The actual restaurant is pretty small so sometimes it is hard to get a table. The waiters always seem to be nice and helpful. I would recommend Nikolas if you need a quick, simple meal or just to share a pie. If you're just visiting Newport, try somewhere else...you'll have a better tourist experience at Brick Alley Pub (on Thames) or Salvation Cafe (on Broadway).

It was the summer of 2001, and I had the worst service that I have ever received in my entire dining experience. We sat at the counter and our waitress completely ignored my friend and I. It took forever for her to take our order, she obviously didnt want to be there, and finally she took forever to cash us out while she talked to her friend.I wasn't sure if I needed to tip sitting at the counter (I was young) So she comes running out shouting is everything ok (in a demeaning voice) so I gave her a few dollars. I have regretted it everyday since lol.... I should have thrown the money on the ground, and made her pick it up like the dog that she was. Oh, the food is pretty good if you like greek style pizza this is the place on the island :) My favorite is the mushroom pizza.

I thought this was just a pizza place - WRONG! We use it for take-out but there is a popular restaurant. Try the "spinach pies" (spinach triangles in phyllo). Meatball calzone comes with mozzarella only, marinara sauce on the side, but you can ask for ricotta if you want. Good for nights when there's nothing to eat and it's already late!
(4)Rob B.
Awesome pizza!!! Michelle's Razor Thin pizza is a must. Stopped by for a quick lunch while on travel and asked the waitress, Michelle (go figure!) what she recommended. This pizza was perfect. Thin crisp crust, great flavor. Just wish I lived there so I could eat it more often!
(5)Charlotte M.
Got some pizza that fulfilled late night drunk munchies...it was great. It was open late and they delivered. The wings were unexpectedly great. I was full and happy. Can't ask for more.
(4)Mason W.
Slooow service. Pizza was good. A lot of employees behind the counter, but they ignore customers in the dining area. The employees are standing around talking to each other. Other tables were waiting too. It's excessive.
(2)Bridget K.
Great pizza and salads in a super casual restaurant. Be warned though, pizza is really greasy.
(4)Matt G.
Great pizza and best wings, try the east/west wings they're amazing!
(5)Daniel G.
It was okay. The waitstaff was nice but the food was a typical pizzeria fast food joint. It is a good place to brings the kids.
(2)Mia D.
A little wee bit out of the way but they have their own parking lot! Of course, our car got scraped but that wasn't the fault of the restaurant! The food was decent - good pizza, the buffalo wings were really good. The antipasto salad was great. My husband's sub was good (not the best he's had but decent). We sat out on the patio which was really nice. Good sangria too! Sucks they don't take credit cards!!!
(4)Anders B.
best pizza in Newport and it's open late (2am)? Win-Win...
(5)Allison C.
Excellent pizza. If you don't feel like dealing with the parking situation down near all the shops and the marina etc, and you'd like a quick and inexpensive meal, they had really good pizza. I'd eat here again rather than deal with those crowds and trying to find parking.

This is my first review on Yelp. Im from out of town and ordered the Tuna Sandwich a few days ago, and it was ok. It was a perfect portion for me, probably enough food for lunch and dinner for normal people, lol. Today I ordered the Gyro Platter and it was so dissapointing. First, they forgot my greek salad, and its 20 minutes and counting from the time I notifed them that they forgot. Second, they gyro meat looked like sausages and not the real gyro that is shaved off the wheel. Only reason its getting two stars is for the tuna sandwich that was ok.

OK pizza.
