A part of Boulder is CU and their students, a big part of college students is pizza. Therefore…read moreBoulder has a lot of college friendly greasy cheap pizzas.. which is great for our population but does get redundant and I crave a different kind of pizza. One with more attention to detail, fluffy crust, more 'Italian' style, more homey. This is the place if you're craving that more authentic Italian style experience! They've got actual margarita pizza (that's not just a cheese pizza with tomato slices thrown on it like other places..) and really unique style pizzas if you're feeling adventurous. We had one unique pizza that had sausage, honey, and pistachios. I usually dislike sweet and salty and my partner hates nuts, but they did this pizza so well it was one of the best pizzas we tried there. I believe they mix up their menus cause when I tried looking it up online for the exact name of the pizza I couldn't find the pizza. But I'll post a picture of the pizza. They also have a great appetizers and the slice their prosciutto to order. What I love about this place is you can sit at the pizza bar and watch pizzas being made and meat being sliced and arranged beautifully. I loved their limoncello drinks which is perfect for spring/summer day out on their patio. The servers are kind and hard working. This definitely is one of my favorite places to hang, date night, girls night, business dinner, etc.

We went with the Lottie's Salsiccia, which had sausage, vodka sauce, and sweet and sour peppers. It had an interesting mix of sweet and savory flavors. Our waitress also recommended us the Trapanese, which was super creamy as it had pesto sauce and burrata cheese chunks on top. We added anchovies to half of the pizza and that definitely added some saltiness to it. For drinks we had the aperol spritz and frose, which were refreshing. They have indoor and outdoor seats, though outdoor is limited so you may have to wait. The flavors of the pizza really came through well, but the crust was a bit too thick for my liking. Service was fast though and super friendly! It's right on Pearl Street too so you can check it out as you're shopping!

Finally gave in to the hype and decided to try Nick-N-Willy's for the first time, and boy am I glad I did. This is easily the best pizza I've ever had; it's easy to see why they have been voted "Best in Boulder" so many times. I had a create your own pizza (smoked bacon and winger chicken). Everything was so flavorful; the chicken was spiced perfectly, great flavor but not overpowering. You can really taste the freshness, which is the reason I say this is easily the best pizza I've ever had. You typically think of pizza as a quick meal and not about great tasting food. I was definitely amazed just how amazing this pie was, I highly recommend. read more

New favorite pizza spot! So easy to order your take-n-bake pizza online and pick it up after work. When I first went in I had no idea how Nick-N-Willy's worked. The gal came out from behind the counter to show me the menu and give suggestions. She was very helpful and gave me great advice to call home and have my significant other preheat the oven! The pizza was so yummy and the crust was perfect. Great place to come in and grab a quick slice for the lunch hour. And what I love is they let you add toppings onto their slices to make it just the way you like it. Highly recommend Nick-N-Willy's! read more

We've all had pizza from many sources. Nick and Willy's uses the freshest and best quality ingredients. There is attetion to the customer's order and great consistentcy. Fun and funky menu items-or create your own. I've always enjoyed the take and bakes and the slices at the restaurant. The roast chicken and chicken wings are also really tasty. We've had big orders of 6-8 pizzas; and smaller 1-2 pizzas. The salads and take to bake cookies are well loved also. This is not your average pizza. Eat locally- support local . read more

This is hands down the freshest and most delicious pizza crafter in Boulder! The ingredients are so fresh and and you can customize your order to wherever your imagination takes you. We had the Penny Lane and Wild Willy combination tonight and we are arguing about which one was better. They were both over-the-top delicious! They were piled high with the highest quality and freshest meats and veggies you can find. A must do for your Friday night( or ANY night) gourmet pizza!! read more

My family and I have been eating at this locally owned institution for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed. For at home pizza, no one in Boulder comes close to the quality and taste of this pizza.

This place is way above the chain Papa Murphy's so go for the taste and Enjoy! read more

I've been going to Nick-N-Willy's since it opened, over 24 years! It's always voted the best and it should be; gourmet ingredients like sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, spinach, Thai chicken, pesto, excellent salads and rotisserie chicken.

The crust was super crispy, and just loaded with amazing, locally sourced toppings. The Carmine pizza had Colorado mushrooms, sausage with fennel, fresh basil, multiple types of cheese, including ricotta- my mouth was singing with all the flavors. They generously gave us some additional ricotta cheese- if you are willing to spend the $2 extra for that, you should. It MADE our pizza. The ranch and tomato sauce were good too, and believe you me we ate every bit of them, but the ricotta took it to a whole new level. The pizza was a good size for 2 people, we each got 4 slices and felt a little too full but not painfully full. You could feed 4 on it if you do an additional appetizer or dessert. This is a bare bones operation- they have a kiosk to order from, pay with card, they have a cooler stocked with various drinks. They do have a little bit of seating, so if you live too far to take it to go reasonably, you can absolutely eat it there. The owner was sitting out front and very friendly as he walked us through the ingredients and how long they had been there (3 years!). Highly highly recommend and will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

My husband ordered an appetizer as his meal, and I ordered a personal calzone. His food came out, and I expected mine to follow shortly afterward. Instead, I waited approximately 30 minutes after his meal was served before receiving my calzone. During that time, people who had ordered after us were receiving their food at about the same time I was finally served. I understand that different menu items can have different cooking times, but I'm having a hard time understanding why a personal calzone took that long, especially when my husband had already finished his meal. The biggest issue for me wasn't even the wait itself--it was that my husband and I were unable to actually eat our meals together. When the calzone finally arrived, the crust was extremely thick and wide compared with the portion of the calzone that actually contained the toppings. I'm sure the food itself may have been tasty, but the preparation and timing made the experience disappointing. I'm leaving this review because I think it's reasonable for two people who order together to expect their meals to be served within a reasonable amount of time of each other. If there was a problem with my order or something went wrong in the kitchen, I would genuinely like to understand what happened. I'm not looking for an argument or a defensive response--just an explanation of why my meal took roughly 30 minutes longer than my husband's and why we weren't able to enjoy our meal together. That being said, I would actually like to come back and try Antonio's again. I'm not writing this review because I never want to return or because I think the restaurant is terrible. I'd like the opportunity to have a better experience and actually get to enjoy the food. Hopefully, next time the service and timing will be better.
