Favorite Pizza in NYC

by hathrock

Definitely my favorite pizza in NYC. If you like a good sauce, this is it. I always get sausage and extra sauce. The mozzarella, basil and other ingredients are always fresh. If you prefer cheese pizzas, this may not be for you.

• Pros: Awesome Sauce
• Cons: None

still doesn't surprise me

by arossin

I've lived in Forest Hills for years and have been to Nick's three times, all years apart. The first time was with a group of about 8 when the place had first opened. It was appalling how rude the waiters were and how mediocre the food was.

About ten years later, my father and I decided to try Nick's again because of all the amazing write ups they had been getting over the years. I dont know how Nick's managed to make a burnt, soggy pizza, but they did. I swore off the place until a few days ago when a few buddies from out of town asked me about the place because of all the great things they'd heard. I didn't mention my past experiences at Nick's and we all went down.

Absolutely nothing has changed.

• Pros: pizza is JUST ok
• Cons: rude waitstaff, overhyped pizza

Never again

I'll start on a positive note: the menu is appealing, and the pizza is pretty good.

Ok, now for the review. I have been here four times. Each time, I am absolutely astounded by the unbelievably horrific service. To the point where you wonder if there is some hidden camera and you are part of some reality or "Punk'd" show. The staff here is horrible. I'd like to single at least one server out who is an anomaly but I can't.

Specifics? No attention, rudeness in answering questions about the menu, not informing you of any unpublished quirky things about the menu, they rush you along and generally make you feel unwelcome.

I'm glad to see it's not just me. As I see from the reviews, service is not a selling point for Nick's. And each time I have been there, other patrons and my party have commented on one example of poor service.

In this economy particularly, I'm dumbfounded by service establishments who don't step up and play their A-game.

While the food is decent, it is definitely not the best in NY or Queens. You can go elsewhere, pay the same or less and not leave feeling unwelcome.

I typically don't wish any business ill, or want to see people out of work but if Nick's does go under some day I will not be the slightest bit surprised. I will never go back.

• Pros: Menu
• Cons: Service (or lack thereof), Rudeness, over-priced
