At Nick's, the star of the show is undoubtedly their thin crust sourdough pizza. The meticulous creation of their signature sourdough crust results in a soft, chewy base that is perfectly crispy at the edges—a testament to the time and effort dedicated to mastering this craft. Each 16” pizza is a masterpiece, including options for both meat-lovers and vegans alike. For a taste of the extraordinary, try the 16" Vegan Olive and Herb featuring a blend of fresh spinach, caramelized red onions, and a medley of olives atop a thin sourdough crust devoid of cheese. Alternatively, the 16" Vegan Spinach and Mushroom combines roasted garlic and crimini mushrooms for a hearty yet delicate flavor. Every bite is enhanced with fresh herbs, promising a delightful journey for your palate.
Complement your meal with a refreshing drink from their housemade beverage selection, such as the invigorating Arnold Palmer or the classic iced tea, both priced at a reasonable US$5.00.
