outstanding pizza, cheesesteak, meatball, sausage & peppers sandwiches! typical pizzera ambiance... service is outstanding!!!

Our new go to spot. We love their pizza and chicken fingers. Looking forward to trying other items.

This is our favorite go to pizza place. Tuesday two for one pizza is wonderful. I can't think of anything I don't like.

The food is delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. Today Paula recommended the hot Italian Grilled Chicken sandwich: a large tender piece of grilled chicken with fresh mozz and homemade roasted red peppers on amazing crispy but soft italian bread. It was sooooo delicious. My friend had a meatball sandwich. She said the meatballs were excellent. We ordered garlic knots which were drenched in garlic, soft and yummy. The fries looked really good. The interior is a basic pizza place with booths that seat 4. I bet the pizza is fabulous; the guys out front were making it fresh. we were there for 2 hours just chatting and enjoying our lunch. I recommend going in with friends, some beer or a bottle of wine to enjoy the delicious food. If Paula is there she gives great recommendations! read more

Great people great food and great service. The restaurant is clean. You can tell they pay much attention to details and the way they cook. We recently had a party and used them to cater. It was great read more

lived in brick for 18 years and nicks was the best pizza around ... visited there recently and got a nicks pizza which is still great ... in all those years i was never hassled about my full time barefoot lifestyle ( even in winter ) ... thanks guys ... barefoot dave read more

New to the area and a particular sandwich from this place was recommended by a friend. The sandwich is tasty, but I don't plan on going back, because the woman behind the counter is very nasty. She hard eyeballs me, as if I came in to do something nefarious. Her young helper mostly stays in the shadows until told, but is just as unfriendly. The husband lurks in the background until the two start bickering. The whole vibe is really weird and bad. It's difficult to enjoy the food you just bought when you were treated as if you were a criminal. And it's not a good way to behave if you want return customers. I definitely won't be going back! read more

Good food and the service matches. They are very friendly when calling in orders and even nicer when picking them up.

I ordered a California cheesesteak and it was amazing! Bread is so fresh and the ingredients were loaded on. Staff is always friendly. We have had pizza in the past and it is great as well. read more

Local pizza restaurant. Good quality Italian-American food at a reasonable price. I order hot sandwiches and dinners. Mostly a take out place. read more

We have been going here since we moved to Brick as they had better pizza than the surrounding places. We recently ordered sandwiches and my wife's Shrimp parm (which we have gotten from here before) was under cooked. Shrimp was mushy and gray. When I brought the sandwich back and asked for a refund both upfront employees looked at it and tried to tell me it was cooked. Continued to try and explain shrimp to me and tell me it couldn't possibly be undercooked. Refused to refund the sandwich, only willing to remake. The remade sandwich was more cooked, but still not cooked well. We would have at least gone back for non shrimp items but after being treated like I had never had shrimp before and being refused a refund I won't be back. Shame. If you do decide to order from here, at least skip the shrimp. read more

Recently ordered a half dozen Arancini balls for Christmas dinner appetizers. While I've had these in the past and we're good, something was wrong with this order. First there was no sauce in the container. Second there was no meat ( a tiny piece of salami) inside and they were very dry. No peas, and we're very dry. No body ate them, they were terrible. read more

Had a review here from 6 years ago. There are new owners. Food is still as great, if not better now. The menu has expanded. read more

Best place for high quality, old fashioned authentic Italian food. Pizza and dinners are great. Eggplant is especially delicious. Paola n Massimo used to own Napoli pizza a few years back on Rt 88e. Took over this place 2 years ago or so. Nice people. read more

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM A SHOT!!! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! What can be said about Nickolas's Pizza. How about it's deliciously delicious. It's NOT over priced like most pizzerias in this miserable state. To be totally honest with you the people who work there are pleasant to deal with as well which is something you really don't experience at all anymore in N.J. I've been eating from Nickolas Pizzeria for the better part of a decade and a half I'd say and have only ever had 1 problem. It wasn't on them either. It was an order issue from one of the kids that placed the order wrong and the owners still made the order right for me and did so at no expense to me which I really did appreciate. I highly recommend Nickolas Pizzeria and Restaurant! Their eggplant dishes kick ass. As for the Chicken Cheesesteak, if you're a fan of Chicken Cheesteaks you need to try one from here. It's the absolute best anywhere within 50 miles of North Brick. I'm not sure where they're getting their bread from but, as anyone with any food experience knows, whilst the ingredients of the sandwich are important there is nothing as important as the bread. Keep doing what you're doing at Nickolas Pizzeria and Restaurant. The food is delicious and not overly expensive which seems to be the trend here in NJ. People are overpaying for mediocre at best food. When you order from Nickolas Pizzeria you're paying a fair price for a meal that's far better than the more expensive Pizza places in the area. Here's a great example of Nickolas Price comparisons. A whole Chicken Cheestesteak from Nickolas is right around the $11.50 - $12.00 mark whereas the same sandwich at almost all of the other pizza places in the area cost closer to $20.00. This is for a far more inferior sandwich. The taste and quality between the roughly $12.00 Nickolas Pizzaria Chicken Cheesesteaks and the roughly $20.00 Chicken Cheesesteaks from other pizza places isn't even close. I've done this comparison on most everything I've eating from Nickolas and as someone who will happily pay a much higher price for better quality food it's nice to know that I can still go to my local Pizzaria, Nickolas and not even have to think about the quality or quanlty for that matter as Nickolas never lets me down. read more

Prices have gone through the roof. Good food, but there are many pizza places in Brick.

The best pizza I've found since moving to brick from north Jersey. Always takes only 29 minutes and always ready on time

Let me preface by telling you we are originally from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn where we consider pizza is king...lol...we have tried a number of places since we've moved here to Forked River 2 years ago...my nephew in Brick introduced us to Nicholas Pizza and let me tell you this is the best and closest to Brooklyn Pizza around. I travel up from Forked River, 30 minutes round-trip, for their Pizza and rolls . Excellent food...​​​ read more

I got to say being brought up in NYC, I consider myself some what of a pizza expert. And Nickolas pizza on Lanes Mills Road in Brick is some of the best pizza I've had since moving to Ocean County. Now let me warn you that the place doesn't have the best decor. But if you're looking for good food: pizza, muscles, pasta, etc., then give this place a try. Owned by an old world Italian couple, very charming, and they make the best food. I've become a regular and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon! Thanks Mr & Mrs D!! read more

I paid 6.93 for slice of cheese steak pizza if there was a table spoon of steak on their I would be surprised nick would never done this I will never go there again to many places around to get good pizza what a rip off read more

We are from out of town, looking for good pizza joint. Saw the good reviews here so gave it a shot. We're glad we did. First, understand this is not a fancy place. It's in a strip mall and you sit in those ugly Formica booths. The napkins are those tiny little things that fold into a dispenser. You know, the ones so small you need about 10 just to wipe the pizza grease off your hand. But the food was very good. Generous portions at a fair price, made to order. We all enjoyed our food, but the calzones were the standout. Make sure you ask for extra sauce. read more

Nickolas has the best pizza and pasta. They have great food and it is consistently great. Service is always great. Best pizza place around!

Nickolas pizza and restaurant is equivalent to 5 stars. The food is wonderful especially the eggplant Napoleon which I order on a weekly basis along with the home made pastry . The staff especially the owners are so helpful and take such pride in their restaurant. You won't be disappointed!!!! Carol fleres. Berkshire Hathaway. read more

pretty good old school pizza, nothing fancy, but always tasty

Super Friendly Owners! Pizza is So delicious ! OUT OF THIS WORLD FRESH MOZZ MADE DAILY! They Don't Deliver But it's so worth the trip!!

cheese steak pizza big disappointment 13 and change for two slices both had maybe an ounce of steak and 3 pounds of cheese maybe there other stuff is good but never again for me. read more

Moved to Jersey almost 2 years ago to date and we have been on a hunt trying to find a decent pizzeria. I hate to knock these other local pizza shops but I can't see me ever ordering from somewhere else again. Coming from someone who grew up in NY this is HANDS DOWN the best pizza I've had out here. Our hunt is over, we finally find our pizza spot! read more

WOW Just called to place an order for delivery, I could not understand the person on the other end of phone, I asked nicely "I'm sorry sir did you say no delivery?" and he hung up on me! I guess I will not be able to comment on the food. read more

An Italian restaurant run by Italians! It's great to know that these kinds of places still exist! Excellent food and the family that runs it reminds me of my own! 100% recommended! Best pizza for me: Nick's Special, deep dish, minus onions! that pie is awesome! read more

I could go on with my NYT Magazine-like interview where I eloquently describe the texture of the crust or acidity of the sauce....nuts to that. I like 30 miles away from here yet this is one of my go to pizza parlors. Therefore my feelings should be apparent. Instead you should ask yourself, "Why am I still reading this rave review, maybe I should just decide on the pizza order already." G'head already! read more

A pretty excellent pizza place, tucked away in the back of the most 90's plaza I've been to since, well, the 90's. Seriously, nothing in this plaza has changed - there's even a mom & pop video store a few doors down! I've stopped here a few times now before long road trips, since it's right by the parkway entrance, and both times was fairly impressed. The slices on display are generally of the deep dish variety, but don't be fooled - the crust is surprisingly airy and light. Prices are pretty fair too, considering the size of the pizza. Best of all, they have birch beer and RC Cola on tap. Note that they don't deliver, but for good pizza, I'm willing to drive a little out of my way! read more

Once nick retired this place went down hill. I believe his niece took over the business and it's just not good. Pizza is flavorless and no pride or love goes into their food. Try harder or ask nick for help. read more

Highly recommended! Great pizza and cheese steaks. Excellent variety! Location is a bit congested, but worth a stop for lunch. read more

One of my ABSOLUTE favorite places to eat of all time. Hands down one of the best pizza places around, and this is coming from an Italian with roots up in Hoboken, great grandparents right off the boat from Naples. I am actually craving a slice right now, writing this is making me long for one (yea it is THAT good---not a dramatization either). I have been going here for YEARS, half my life practically come to think of it. The family that owns/runs this are real Italians, and lovely people! You will find Nick himself there more often than not. My FAVORITE thing off the menu is the white pizza (and with broccoli is a bonus), it is a pan pizza more or less ,so it just seals the deal (for me at least)!! No other white slices I have had compare, seriously. I love a nice light colored, fluffier crust, not thin and crispy and they just hit it right on! You really cannot go wrong with their sandwiches either. Everything is made right there, fresh and hot. Nothing ever looks old, even later in the day (probably because they are ALWAYS busy)---no time to sit out). The prices are comparable to other local pizzerias, no highway robbery. Unfortunately they don't deliver, like most REALLy good pizza places out there. But, totally worth the trip to pick up. Try it, you won't be sorry! read more

Good crust, sauce and cheese. Pizza done the Old School Way...We Love It and we WILL be back !!!

as a native new jersian; finding good pizza is a must and with nicks i have found it. one of my favorites at the store would have to be the margarita pie; oh. my.god. or the grandma, it's a toss up but i never knew italy could be in jersey but it is. this is the spot to go to 100%. owners paola and massimo give love and quality in there food that i haven't found in a long time. go to nicks! read more

Wouldn't suggest this pizza. Seemed like it was sitting out all day. Also the restroom was in need of an upgrade. Real dirty.

Traditional Italian meals with the best pizza in town. They make everything from sandwiches (hot & cold) to awesome pasta dishes. Garlic knots are superb. Order via telephone or in person-no delivery. The only reason it didn't get a 5 star! Must visit. read more

This is absolutely our favorite pizzeria in the area. I wish they delivered because sometimes we are too lazy to go out. Pizza is fantastic and the sandwiches we have tried from them are very good too. read more

What can I say about this place? I'm pretty sure I put Nick's daughter (who was in my high school class) through college. I can't count the amount of times my friends and I would walk or bike to this place during our youth. The pizza tastes just as amazing today as it did back then. Maybe a bit of sentimentality gets in there too, but the place is still hopping after these years too. I love the sauce they use on their pizza and pastas. It's the best I've ever had outside of my Italian grandmothers. The fact that Nick, who still speaks in a very strong Italian accent after 15 years or so in Brick, is the owner still means not much has changed. The food is still damn good. They don't deliver, or at least they didn't when I lived there, but that doesn't stop the business. Definitely check this place out when your in Brick. Getting out the parking lot can be a pain (Welcome to Brick), but the food is worth it. read more
