We ordered a large Nick's Special pizza and it was delicious. The flavor reminded me of the kind of pizza you'd eat as a kid, with original fresh ingredients. Loved it. The atmosphere was great too, the space was very clean, plenty of room when you sit down, even for a small place. The options are great if you don't want pizza too, pasta and salad dishes. They play sports on the tv's and you can order a few alcoholic beverages on the menu as well. Parking is sorta limited, so when it gets busy, i can imagine parking can be a problem. Overall, loved it and will definitely be back.

I have never been to this "Big Nick's Pizza " restaurant before. This place is located at the San Pedro. When I arrived at the parking lot, I didn't have any problem finding a parking space. The restaurant was very clean and well-organized & nicely maintained. They had various selections on the menu. I ordered the cheese pizza to go. I didn't like to add lots of things to my pizza. After I ordered my pizza, I had to go to the Harbor Animal Clinic for my dog's vaccinations. The Nick's Pizza restaurant was very close to the Harbor Animal Clinic. It only took half an hour to get my dog vaccinated. Anyway, after that I went back to the restaurant to pick up my pizza. Then, I came home and I tried Nick's famous cheese pizza. The pizza was cheesy & tasty. It was delicious pizza! I loved the mozzarella cheese! It was my favorite cheese. It was so creamy and cheesy pizza. I love it! I also liked their great services. All the employees were friendly, helpful & are attentive. I would like to recommend this "Big Nick's Pizza " restaurant to everyone. They have delicious & tasty pizza!

I didn’t get to meet or verify there actually is a big Nick but his restaurant was great! The people there were very friendly starting with the young lady up front and the rest of the crew that served us! The food was really good! I had the calamari appetizer and their create your own pizza and was highly satisfied! My son had the pesto chicken and loved it! My mother in-law had the lobster ravioli and said it was delicious. Sadly we are from out of town so the chances we get to go back there are slim by being from NY originally and knowing my Italian food I highly recommend them!

Called in our order about 20 minutes prior for dine in. Food was ready when we arrived. Very tasty. The only thing is the fried zucchini had little flavor and the breading was powdery.

Big Nick’s is one of those neighborhood pizza joints that feels like home the second you walk in. The staff are warm and always greet you with a smile, even on busy nights. Their New York–style slices are huge and cheesy, with just the right amount of grease. I love that they also serve Greek dishes, so you can get a gyro with your pizza. It’s casual, affordable, and perfect after a day by the harbor

I am very glad I stumbled upon Big Nick’s Pizza. I really like the decoration and how everything is well put together. The service was friendly, attentive, and fast. The food was delicious. The pizza was great with flavorful pizza sauce. You can tell they use quality ingredients and the pizza dough was cooked to perfection with a semi crunchy crust and a soft dough in the inside. I also ordered the sample platter which included zucchinis, jalapeño poppers, chicken, wings, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious. My only recommendation would be to cook the chicken wings, a tad bit longer. Another appetizer we got was a fried calamari one of the best I’ve had. My girlfriend ordered the lasagna and I have to admit it was good but definitely had better however I wouldn’t say it’s bad so with that being said, I would leave that to your discretion and give it a try. Other than that, I would say parking is quite difficult if you go during dinner time which is when I went, you will have a hard time finding parking.
