    Nicholas Pizza House has delicious pizza!! As the longest serving pizza house in Torrington they deserve more recognition than they get! The owner is friendly and always great with our kids who love that their pizza is cut into squares! I recommend trying them, you will not be disappointed!

    My cheeseburger is still raw. You can see it is still pink. And my fries were not even done.

    Calzones with dipping sauce

    Pepperoni calzones was phenomenal. Homemade dipping sauce he should bottle and sell. I could only eat half, took the rest home.

    I should've known better, when you see a pizza place with the name "Nicholas", it's going to be Greek pizza. And Greek pizza generally is not good. Fortunately, I just stopped for a slice. Yeah, it's your standard Greek stuff -- greasy, no flavor sauce, and spongy crust. What more can I say ? A lot of people apparently like this type of pizza, because there are plenty of Greek places in the state of Connecticut, and many have been in business for a long time. I'm just not one of the those people.

    Salad not edible
    Rebecca L.

    One word to describe my delivery from Nicholas Pizza House: EW! I ordered a salad which came with brown lettuce and rotting cucumbers. The pizza was undercooked and raw in the middle. I thought I'd take a chance on this old Torrington standard, but never again! I basically just threw $25 out the window because this is not edible.

    Hair in White Pizza
    Diana B.

    Pizza was okay. The bottom of the pizza gets soggy quick and the quality of the pizza dough is not great. Also, don't get the garlic bread. I took one bite and I've never had garlic bread that bad. Especially because it's very simple to make decent garlic bread. Although, the main reason for my bad review was the hair in my pizza! After the pizza had gotten cold enough for the cheese to harden, I took a slice. After a couple bites, I saw and pulled out a black hair from underneath the hardened cheese. There is many other pizza places in Torrington. I will not be returning.

    Dated decor inside- definitely one of those hole in the wall places that has been around forever. (not a bad thing!) A small pizza is *definitely* small and the garlic bread was pretty huge. We thought the pizza (a small pepperoni, onion & mushroom) was pretty basic. The crust reminded me of my mom's homemade crust- a plus- but it definitely lacked something as a whole. In my husband's words, "It was lacking some love". Not the worst pizza we've had but we won't be going out of our way to go again.

    Ordered a small pizza and a piece of chocolate cake from this establishment. Paid $25 for delivery to the ER as I am essential employee. Not only was the pizza incorrect when I called to let them know they refused to make it right. Didn't seem to care and argued with me on the phone. His exact statement was " why would I waste my time and money when you (me) ordered the wrong thing. When in reality it was their error not mine, I ordered what it was called on their menu. When I said I would not be back he said "great" and hung up. Horrible horrible customer service. Especially as he is the owner of the restaurant.

    Vegetarian Pizza...get one; and one for later.

    I'm 55. I've been all over the world. This is the BEST pie I've ever eaten. We walked in and there was a party in the next room; 4 moms and 15 10-ish year old girls having a blast. The owner had to move a Pinata someone gifted him off a two-top so we could sit down...it felt like we were joining a family for dinner...and we were. The owner sent a young lady to help us. He walked her through it; from 10 feet away...give them a menu, tell them we now have draft beer... I ordered a beer and my wife the veggie pizza. Although we ordered only one, the young lady brought my wife a beer too (so I had to drink that). We had an order of delicious crispy fries while waiting for our pizza...which took about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the owner came over to chat twice. He also had the young lady carry pizza's to go, to an elderly lady's car, and he made a fresh batch of Zepolli (Italian donuts) for us and the girls. Bottom line, If you're looking for fine dining or a fancy place; this might not float your boat. But, if you want to meet a great owner who knows how to treat people and you want a great pizza, slide on a pair of jeans and get the pie here.

    Was greeted and sat by our waitress when we came in. When…read moreit was decided we would only be drinking water we had the option of tap, bottled, and sparkling. We went with the good ole free tap water. The restaurant is decorated like what I could imagine a home in Italy would look like. We dined at lunch time but still decided on the 24 oz boneless ribeye for two. That came with crispy potatoes and spinach. While we were waiting for our food we ate some really nice homemade bread that came with olive oil for dipping. Our steak was so tender my husband had beeb cutting his with a butter knife when he noticed his steak knife was on the table still next to his place. Our steak was seasoned beautifully and there was not a piece left over. Normally I prefer a butter or sauce for my potatoes. However, these potatoes were seasoned so well and crispy it wasnt needed. Now I left the spinach for last because I dont eat it. My husband ate it and he enjoyed it because it was not bitter! Finally when our bill came it was in a Pinocchio book which I thought was a cute and clever play on the restaurant name - Geppetto‼

    Second visit for a family birthday last night and they exceeded our first fantastic impression…read more Service is unmatched. The feel is literally as if we are in a Tuscan farm home. There is not a more welcoming and comfortable place I can think of. The food backs it up - which is the main point. My only suggestion for first-time diners, perhaps ask your server if the chef will consider delaying courses a bit. In our group of four, we wanted to try/share 4 different apps and a meat and cheese board. Because of their dedication to a promptly and accurately coursed meal, all four apps and the boar all arrived at the time time (by design). Makes it really uncomfortable at the table with so many plates. But if that's my only gripe - that's all you need to know. This Is A Must Go!!! My favorite restaurant around.

    I want in for lunch today, knowing there was a new owner, and I hadn't had a chance to get in there…read moresince then. I held my breath walking in the door, hoping to see the same beautiful nostalgic decor from decades past. To my delight, it looked beautifully the same, but soneobw better! There was beautiful music playing at just the right volume... Frank Sinatra, The Ronettes, and other sweet tunes. Heidi, my server, was excellent. She seems like she has worked there for awhile, and she handled MANY customers/tables with ease and grace. The food was EXCELLENT! I had spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti was piping hot, and there was no excess water under the pasta as sometimes happens in other establishments. Also, the price for my abundant, delicious meal, plus a glass of wine, was very reasonable. What a treasure in downtown Torrington, CT... a restaurant that has been open for 100 years! I spoke with a gentleman who, like me, had moved away but then came back to the area... and, like me, was so glad the decor, etc. was still the same! I hope they don't change a thing! ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it!") I will be back, and will be bringing my friends and family. Whay a delight!

    "And so please help (To teach your children) Them with your…read moreyouth (What you believe in) They seek the truth Teach your children well" (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) When was the last time you ate a meal in a high school? Maybe it was at an award dinner for a high school sports team, or at a Boy or Cub Scout dinner? Or maybe it was way back in the day between your history and algebra classes? Well, we had a unique lunch at Oliver's Restaurant. Why unique? It was unique because the restaurant is located within the Oliver Wolcott Technical High School in Torrington, and it is staffed by students. You see, the school's Culinary Arts program trains their students for experience in the food service industry. It's an ambitious program that uses a public restaurant to provide 1,775 hours of learning and training in all phases of restaurant business - from the public facing front of the house to the back-of-house. If the students decide to enter the food service workforce, they leave Oliver's with a fantastic skill set. The teacher is Chef Michael McDowell, and he had a crew of 25 High School Juniors operating in two rooms preparing the salads and sandwiches, grilling the chicken and salmon and steaks, baking the meatballs, preparing the soups, slicing the complimentary bread, waiting the tables, and every possible activity they will see when the food service workforce. Chef Michael was fantastic as he oversaw the operation, offering nonstop commentary and tips to his young staff - "did you offer ketchup with those fries?", "too much oil in that pan", "check on your customers and get off your phones", "where's the dressing on the side?", "put the dressing in a takeout container for the takeout orders, and a ramekin for the diners", etc., etc. Oliver's has a real dining room with an open kitchen, so you can see and hear the entire class. There was a steady stream of takeout orders, and three parents popped in to say hi to their kids. The freshman and sophs in the Culinary Arts program start with the basics -how to sauté things, make salads, and the like. Today's class was all juniors, and that's when they actually start to operate the restaurant under the Chef's guidance. We chatted with Chef Michael, and he said that when they become Seniors, they really run Olivers by themselves. Our lunch was a $3 cup of clam chowder, a $9 turkey BLT, a $14 Salmon Caesar Salad, and a $4 Apple Crostata. The food was very good, check out the generous portion of turkey on the BLT and the half pound slab of perfectly cooked salmon on my salad. And we were amazed when Chef Michael called us at home to get our feedback on the meal and service. What a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed watching the Chef train his staff and watching them execute his instructions. I hope whoever is reading this, goes to the school and supports these young restaurant workers of the future. I know you'll enjoy this unique experience as much as we did. PRO TIP Olivers is open to the public Wednesday to Friday from 10:45 to 12:05, and they ask you to call 860-496-5369 to make a reservation.
