This was our first trip to the Bethlehem area, so we were not sure what to expect when visiting this local owned Italian, but we were recommended it by more than a few locals. When we stepped inside, we realized why, it felt authentic, local, and had a rustic charm to it. Nick was out in the restaurant greeting guests and talking to people. The menu was extensive and all the things we tried were delicious and had a homemade feel to them, like someone's nonna was back there cooking these dishes. The bread served was snapped up quicker than I could even take a picture, it tasted like European bread that I am so used to. The addition of olive oil to dip it in took me back to days growing up near quality Italian food like this. The marinara was rich in the flavor, and the chicken was tasty with a beautiful crumb. There was a choice of pasta so I opted for the pappardelle, for those, like myself, not in the know this is like a larger flat version of a linguine and is excellent to soak up extra sauce. 10/10. No notes. read more

Nick's On Main - Chicken Parmigiana with Pappardelle Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Nick's Pizza restaurant is located on Main St. in Bethlehem. They are open Sunday - Thursday 11AM - 9PM and Friday - Saturday 11AM - 10PM. My friend and I dined here for the first time on Monday evening. The food was delightful, and our server was both friendly and accommodating. We started with the mozzarella fritti. The mozzarella was fresh, lightly breaded, and topped with marinara sauce. For my entree I ordered one of their specials; Penne Key West. It's made with lobster, shrimp, scallops, crab meat, penne pasta, and pink vodka sauce. Yum! Seafood pasta is always my go-to if it's available. My friend ordered Penne alla Vodka and a side of meatballs. The vodka sauce had a good flavor, and the meatballs were juicy and delicious. All dinner entrees are served with soup or salad. We both chose Italian Wedding Soup. Nick's has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery.

I was working for a food delivery service and while I was taking food downstairs the manager straight up harassed me saying "I can do that with my eyes closed". I have a disability and I work for a temp agency so this isn't my usual job. But the manage verbally harassed me while I was doing my job. read more

Fantastic Italian food. Lots of options on the menu. Good service. Reasonably priced. Never a complaint or bad experience at Nick's.

Been eating here for over 30 years. Quality of food went down hill. Ordered an antipasto salad and they couldn't even roll up meat and slice it. Frozen meatballs, come on your suppose to be Italian. Plus the owner Nick is rude and unprofessional. Think I'm done dining here! read more

O yeah! Ate at Nick's on our way thru Bethlehem to RI. Ordered the Philly steaks. My wife and I would go back in a heartbeat, awesome food. We waited a minute... busy place, but it was an experience. Just go! read more

Some family and friends visited Bethlehem for the Cocktail Tour through the town and we found Nick's toward the end to get some food. We were a little rowdy, but we had the best server, Aubrey. She joked with us, was pleasant and attentive, even though they were pretty busy. - Our food and drinks were very enjoyable. We tried the crab stuffed flounder, multiple types of pizza, and their cheese steaks. All very good. Hands down though the stand out element that made our night wonderful was the service from Aubrey. read more

Good pizza but they gave my food to someone else and I had to wait and was offered no discount and while we waited we watched the man behind the counter yell at the woman behind the counter. It wasn't about the mistake with our order, it was about nothing really but the man was very nasty. Good food, not good experience with my kid read more

Best ever penne pasta w vodka sauce I add shrimp super delicious and gives so much makes 2 meals yum

So my car broke down about a half of a block from nicks pizza. I called triple a, and was advised that help would take approximately 45 minutes. I decidedly to grab a bite at nicks. The food was top notch to say the least. Jackpot, because my server,her name was Aubrey. Short,chipper little blonde young woman greeted me with grace and was intuitive enough to realize I was having "one of those days" so she went out her way to cheer me up and gave few optimistic avenues of perception leading me to turn a bad day into the best day. I'll be back solely because of Aubrey read more

Shrimp scampi includes 5 shrimp, raw garlic, drenched in oil, and otherwise poorly prepared. I'm not certain they didn't just throw precooked shrimp over warm pasta, dump oil on top, and sprinkle some raw garlic on top and call it a day. read more

The food was delicious and they give you plenty of it. The service is excellent. The menu is large with everything you could want in an Italian restaurant. They also serve alcohol. read more

Great food and service, I especially love their garlic knots and Grandma's pizza! Plus their service is quick!

Absolutely fantastic! We had soup, rice ball, garlic knots, and Chicken Fantasy. Everything was excellent! Will definitely come back. read more

Nick's On Main - Chicken Fantasy!!! - Pizza Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Got a buffalo chicken wrap. Taste was very good. Amount of sauce was very good. However the wrap had maybe two chicken fingers in it total. And a handful of lettuce. Actually took bites without getting any chicken. Wrap was very skimpy overall. Sorry I forgot to take a picture. read more

Huge thank you to Nick's for hosting our robotics team dinner and helping make our evening so memorable. The food was excellent. (Big shout out for the delicious, fresh meat-eaters pizza with a delectable crust.) And the team at Nick's could not have been nicer. We had many more people attend our party than we expected and they graciously accommodated the overflow and kept the food coming. Rosa was the best waitress EVER. She handled the large party without missing a step and never got flustered even when we threw in special orders last minute. Great food. Great service. As one of the parents put it: "A gem in Bethlehem" read more

The lie on their service times. I called they said 30 minutes. Arrived 35 minutes later. Then told 5 more minutes. Which became more than 20 minutes. Will not order from again. Just tell me you didn't actually make the pizza. read more

Never had better! Nick's is an absolute gem. The food is delicious, priced extremely reasonably, and portions are great. 10/10, will be coming back. read more

Stumbled onto this delightful family run restaurant. Excellent food, large portions, great service, wonderful atmosphere. Extensive Italian menu, worth your time and highly recommend! read more

I've been to Nick's several times with friends we all enjoy their food, especially the garlic knots. I am surprised to hear the negative comments about the servers. We have never encountered this. However, I ordered takeout once and there was an error with the order and the server was fixing it. The older man that was cooking (Nick?) Felt he needed to get involved. He was very prickly with me, acting like I caused the mix up. I was patiently standing out of the way and waiting. (Not a big deal) He looked at me a said "Are you satisfied now?" . And, no, not in a genuinely questioning manner. I'll definately go back again. Never had any other issue than this. So, mark it up to someone having a bad day. read more

Took mom there for lunch. She is very fussy and she loved her meal. I had a personal pizza; it was delicious!

We ordered a Sicilian pizza with extra cheese. This is NOT a Sicilian pizza!! They use the same flat dough that they do on all the regular pizzas & just make it into a rectangular shape. What a disappointment!! There was a huge amount of cheese that we could not possibly eat along with the flat dough. I love Sicilian because it is a thicker, breadier dough. Yuck!!! Would never order from them again. read more

Food is excellent servers are very knowledgeable of the food great local restaurant to enjoy made to order food

I.m sure Yelp headquarters will filter my review again but heck I minus well make them work lol. But anyways Nick's is a pretty good spot. I had the California Cheese Burger on Pita bread and oh yeah it was GOOD! I usually get the California Cheese steak which is phenomenal but this California Cheese burger on the pita was even more phenomenal. read more

Don't go by the bad reviews I've read. Had dinner there last night with 3 others and everyone's dinner was great. Service was great and people very friendly. I'm from out of town and when I return it will be a must go to place. I'm surprised it only comes in at 3.5 stars. We had 2 chicken Parma, shrimp and linguine and mussels and linguine. All dinners were excellent! read more

Stopped here several times for take out & also eating in. Slices are good. Their "Ziti Crab Meat" is excellent. Italian subs are great when you eat them there, but soak in making soggy bread when taken home. Prices are decent considering their ingredients fresh and good quality. Ordering a pizza pie there only takes them about 10min to have ready. This place has plenty of alcohol available, so I have no idea what a previous reviewer is talking about! read more

Delicious food, great prices and huge portions! The Italian wedding soup was the best I've had, the bread was crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The Gnocchi was really tasty. Great people here too, really nice. I'm hard to impress with food but I couldn't stop gushing to everyone I know how great this gem is! read more

I love Nick's. I don't know how anyone could possibly give them less than four stars. I have eaten here many many times, and many different times of the day. The food is consistently excellent. Nick has recognized me since the first time I walked into the place, and I didn't even live in the area. It's a regular for the regulars. You can tell the place has good food with great prices when you see a lot of senior citizens in there. They makes my cheesesteak just like I like it. Nobody's pizza is better. Nobody's pizza is as good. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Bethlehem. It's a little family owned restaurant with 5 star recipes. The staff always is kind & remembers my familys' favorite dishes. Weather dining in or taking out; the food is great & the portions are huge! It's great for sharing! You will always have food to take home. I've had them cater several family functions. read more

I ordered the chicken fantasy over ziti with a side salad and creamy Italian dressing. The salad was fresh and presented well, and the main dish was stellar! Everything -- chicken, sauce, vegetables, pasta -- was done perfectly and tasted great. The other three people in my party were also very pleased with their meals. My wife and I will definitely be back soon! read more

The food here never fails to amaze me. I'm very fond of their house made balsamic vinaigrette as well! Crab cakes are amazing. Alcoholic drinks never fail to hit the right spot as well. Whether I'm dining in or picking up, everyone is still friendly and everything is made to perfection. Also thought it was cute that the owner remembered me from my review I gave them on Facebook. Highly recommend!! read more

Love this place! Excellent food and excellent service! You really can't beat the extensive menu options. It was the perfect place to dine out on a busy Saturday night in Bethlehem without the full chaos of downtown. read more

My family has been coming to Nick's for YEARS! It's amazing that they have such an expansive menu, yet manage to do everything really well!! The portions are HUGE, it's an incredible value! Their seafood is always great, I especially love their lobster ravioli and their crab cakes. In the summertime, I love sitting at their outdoor side walk tables! It's great that they have a full bar too! They even do catering, so if you need a tray of lasagna for a holiday or something, it's great to keep in mind! Love eating here and love the family atmosphere. read more

These portions are gigantic. Expect to have food for the rest of the month! It was very busy there and the staff was super sweet. The food my family got was excellent! I wasn't a fan of what I got - bypass burger - because the meat was cooked more than I asked for so it was fairly tough, but mistakes happen. read more

On December 31 went into Nick's when ordering, I asked why a cook did not have a mask on. This elderly cook stated, "cause I don't have to." Nick's is a small establishment, with open kitchen and are exposed to customers. No plexi glass on place. Mask are required ad posted on entrance. But he doesn't have to cover his schnoz. read more

Great place. Huge portions, I brought my other half of my sandwich home! Good prices and cozy feel. I would go back if I was in town again.
