"I think I died and went to heaven because this food was insane. The crispy chicken and the flavorful sauce had me wishing I got a full instead of a half, but the half was more than filling that's just me being a glutton!"
"I'm writing this after my 2nd order, but certainly not my last. During the process of what can only be described as an attempt to swallow my first Mozz & Co sandwich so fast that it would prevent a spontaneous disintegration, I thought "this was art". The best sandwich I've ever had anywhere. But this is a big claim so I did not leave a review. After today, I can confirm that this is indeed the very best sandwich and feel a civil duty to tell this to anyone reading this far. The full sandwich is very big, I have a big appetite and will get a 2nd lunch from it. Both bread options are great, but the focaccia added to the flavorful masterpiece in a way that's hard to describe while still serving as the mobile for the rest. This is the place you're looking for."

"Got the Garlic Parmesean flavored wings and they were amazinggggg. A good amount of sauce to them and the garlic wasn't overpowering. Also the Super Supreme was great! Loaded with toppings, but nicely balanced with flavor. I generally don't like olives, but the amount was good. Just enough to add to the flavor of the pizza without being too much. Well done Nick's! Definitely will be ordering from here again."
"Absolutely love Nick's. Pizza reminds me of People's Choice style-square cut but the sauce... is super flavorful - absolutely delicous. Hard to find a solid reliable pizza place - Nicks is good every single time. Just plain cheese hits the spot but toppings are great too. Love how they portion their toppings. Some places over do it and load everything on - Nicks has great portions- allows everything to cook evenly. No saggy soggy pies! Wings are great too, have even had good grinders and wraps. Cant speak to the pasta dishes havent tried them but everything else is fire. Love the deals they have too not many places offer that on Doordash. Feels good to be able to enjoy a quality pie without spending an insane amount. "
