My favorite slice of Greek-America pizza can be found right in downtown Needham. Nicholas' just does it right for me. They also have your standard sub shop selections. I particularly like the cheese steak and roast beef. There salads are standard too. A good choice. Sometimes the service is slow. They are very popular in town. Make sure you call ahead to order if you are in a hurry. Parking can be a drag. Limited parking out front, plenty of parking out back. read more

Been buying subs and spaghetti and meatballs there for decades. Always satisfying service and food. A takeout facility you can count on! read more

Worst sub of 2022, 2021. Can't believe cook would serve this. I can cook better pastrami sandwiches than this . I hate writing this as owner is hardworking nice guy. Maybe he needs to take a step back and see if this is what he wants to put out to customer for 10 bucks. read more

Nicholas' Pizzeria - Large pastrami their way - Pizza Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

See all

I understand everyone has different taste in pizza but for what it's worth, Nicholas is the only pizza all my kids have agreed on in 5+ years. There's just something simple yet delicious about their cheese & pepperoni and I find their prices are very fair. Doesn't hurt that the pizza is always ready in under 20 minutes when I call. The staff is super friendly. Always feel like you are walking into a family restaurant. read more

Grilled chicken breast salad is delicious, friendly staff, long time customer always fresh ingredients and the serivice is quick. Tuna sub has been a family favorite since my sons were in elementary school and when they are back in Needham ask if we can still get the subs. Now they are grown up they buy mom's sub! read more

Fast delivery. Great food. Friendly service. I love their egg subs, and they oblige my request for no bread.

Slightly below average pizza shop. Worst egg plant Parm sub I've ever had in my life. Dripped an ounce of oil, the pieces of eggplant were thick and tasteless, and the cheese was runny and tasteless, the sandwich did not look good but I picked it up, and did not hold together.. Not a very comfortable or a clean place either, considering I'm in Needham. Skip it... read more

Stopped by for something to eat and it was the best decision. The steak&cheese, cheeseburger and the buffalo chicken dinner were all fresh and delicious. Will definitely come back!!! read more

Great spot to quickly pick up a pizza, rap, or sub. It's cheap and pick-up friendly. I wouldn't go here for a sit-down meal, but I definitely recommend it for a quick bite. Most notably I think the pepperoni pizza, chicken caesar salad wrap, and steak and cheese. The atmosphere isn't very appealing, but it's in a good location. read more

Years ago this place had the best steak and cheese in town. Fast forward to today and this place has gone so far down hill, it's just sad. The lack of cheese and abundance of burnt dried steak are glaringly obvious. They used to melt a generous amount of cheese into the steak, resulting in a meaty cheesey blended bite. Now they barley put any cheese on it so the sandwich is just dry. The formula is not hard folks. Melt cheese on steak, place in bread. This the last time I go to this place. They clearly hate sandwiches. read more

I love this place, and without a doubt, whenever I am getting my haircut next-door, I am in to get the two slice and a drink special. At what time of day WOULDN'T someone want good pizza?? read more

The best Pizza in Needham! everything is so fresh, their sauce tastes like home-made. They have very friendly service, it's like walking into Cheers. The only negatives I can think of, is that parking is tough where they are located, and I wish they delivered more often, other than that I just can't think of anything bad about this place! read more

Be ready to spend your entire lunch hour going to get your take-out from this place. Once you arrive you'll have to wait close to 10 minutes to place your order and another 20 to actually get it. That's just for subs, wraps and salads, which are no different than what you'd find at any other sub shop. The wait doesn't seem much better for call-ins, who were also complaining about the long delay. I don't want to find out how long I'd have to sit there to get a pizza. read more

Always my go to. No matter what we order everything is fresh and good! They have great salads and wraps! We will be back!

Some of the best pizza I have had in a while. Good beers on tap and awesome waitress !

What type of pizzeria only has one type of pizza (cheese) available by the slice? This one. When I saw that, I was inclined to order something else. However, the menu had NO PRICES. So I went with the cheese pizza and received something oily. The whole experience left a lot to be desired. read more

Meat lovers pizza with added meatballs. Great crust, moist & chewy. Tomato sauce had a nice level of heat in the spice. Overall, very good pizza. read more

Love Nicholas' Pizzas, the Best Pizza in town. Delicious wraps and salads too, simply Amazing!!!

I got a cheeseburger sub for lunch delivered to work from here today and the meat was spoiled or something; I took one bite and knew there was something off about the meat. This is the second time this has happened. read more

Excellent food, and incredibly robust menu. Too many good choices. Very friendly staff.

I've been going to Nicholas' Pizzeria faithfully for over 25 years for a reason. Food is ALWAYS good. Service is ALWAYS prompt. Value is ALWAYS great. Ingredients are ALWAYS fresh. And the guys who run this place feel like family! As long as I live and breathe, Friday night dinner comes from Nicholas Pizzeria! You guys have become a Needham institution! If you haven't been, GO! read more

Best pizza in the area. Don't know about the negative review complaining about speed because I've always been amazed with how quickly they prepare food. read more

Fast delivery. Great food. Fair prices. I will definitely order from these folks again!

Best pizza place in Needham hands down. They have the best bread, fresh ingredients, and fair prices. This is the only place in Needham my family will go to!! read more

Came in one time to order a slice of cheese. The pizza was just sitting right there in the open on a hot summer day. The cashier was counting money on the counter. When I ordered a slice, he went and grabbed the pizza without even washing his hands or putting on gloves. You do not serve people food if you're touching money! read more

This lunch place has always pleased me. It has great tasting pizza as well as other lunch foods. They have a nice variety of cold sodas and are very friendly and nice. I had accidentally given the cashier too much money but he hadn't realized. I then noticed a minute later and gave me the extra money back even though he didn't recall me giving extra. Great customer service! One of the best lunch places in Needham read more

I've been to Nicholas' a few times now and it's one of those place where you can grab a quick lunch or dinner. The pizza is fine but this place isn't going to be our go to pizza place. They also offer typical subs you would find in a pizza shop. All in all a place to go if we were in a bind but I'm not going out of my way to go there. read more

Has great steak tip salads and reasonably priced. Very friendly!

The only place that consistently gets our order right. Large Pizza with Green Pepper, Mushroom & Sausage, Lite Cheese & extra sauce. Perfection every time! read more

I have actually not been able to get food from here because I've never been able to get past the incredibly rude staff on the phone. The first time I called I asked to place an order for delivery. The woman who answered the phone said "We only deliver for large events" and immediately hung up. I was so angry, I considered driving over and telling management that they just lost out on a $300 order, but it wasn't true, so I didn't. The 2nd time I called I was LITERALLY told by the woman who answered the phone that they were "too busy" to accept my order. The next day I called to complain, I asked to speak with a manager, and I was hung up, on. I thought it was another one of the face dials I do with my phone, where my face activates buttons on my cell, so I called back. Same result: I asked to speak with a manager and was immediately hung up, on. So, no thank you, and I tell this story to anyone in Needham and surrounding area willing to listen. read more

Great food here. The owners (Nick and Manny) are the best , very friendly. Highly recommend the grilled chicken sub , the specialty pizzas are great. Check out their other joint , Fresco's , for a great breakfast read more

Ordered 3 pizzas delivered. Pizza was good, Delicious crust and well prepared. Went with 2 specialty pizzas and one we 'designed'. Service was friendly and prompt, pizzas arrived when they said they would, and they were hot. Thanks, great meal. read more

Tonight i sent my husband to Nicholas for a salad and ziti with chicken. The salad was good but the chicken was so burnt it was black and so tough you could not eat it. I wouldn't give it to an animal never mind a human. Into the trash it went. The ziti was over cooked and split. I have been a customer for 30 years and they have seen the last of me. Did they forget, Comela is up the street? read more

This is absolutely the BEST place in town (& in the whole area) to get pizza, subs, salads & pasta. Their food is always fresh, the people who work there are always friendly & courteous, you just cannot go wrong eating here!! We've been coming here for many, many years & it's always maintained their high quality...some places start off well & then slip, not here. They keep the great quality going. No place is ever perfect (although I've never had a problem here) but they are the kind of place that if you ever did have an issue, they would make it right: all you would have to do is politely ask. Great place & worth the ride if you're not in Needham. (Their breakfast restaurant is right next door & just as great!) read more

Very average pizza at best, gruff on the phone. When I called last time, they gave me crap about a coupon I had from their own website. Done. read more

I saw a large line at lunch time so I figured the food must be pretty good. They took my order right away but failed to tell me it would be a 40 minute wait. I spent my whole lunch break waiting for a small pizza. I would have ordered a few slices but they didn't have any ready. When my pizza finally arrived it was so greasy and hot I didn't have time to eat it until after work. It didn't mater if I reheated a slice or ate it cold it was terrible pizza. With so many other places in Needham I won't be back read more

nicholas is so reliable, open later than most delivery places around here, and definitely has the cheapest fees for delivery. as for their food, it's very good. i always get a wrap and it's great. i give special directions and they usually do a good job - sometimes they forget to add an extra, but really i don't care that much when they are this available, low-cost, and generally good. oh and i also get the desserts and they are delicious. (nobody else around here has desserts that delivers this late! and it's not even late...) read more
