I've been coming here for years (even in the old location) I don't know of any other words, other than this place kicks ass! I come here at least twice a week for the fantastically delicious pizza slices that are very innovative with cool ingredients. Good vegetarian options as well! There are also killer bakery items to include a Mexican chocolate pumpkin seed muffin, which is out of this world.... My choice today is the Japanese potato- sensational. There's a large outdoor patio which is very open and comfortable. The staff is always terrific and right on the money. Fast and efficient with great smiles. As seen on: "BAY AREA CHECK, PLEASE"! read more

Nick's Pizza was the first place that I ever spent nearly $50 on a pizza but the sourdough crust is absolutely delicious with a crispy then chewy texture and peaches on a pizza are a must try. We went during an event they were having and you could pay someone to paint a picture of your pet. read more

Nick's Pizza - The patio - Pizza Near Me - Oakland, California

Aww, I haven't been to Nick's Pizza in years ~ located on Shattuck, Nick's offers slices, full pies, sandos, salads, and fresh baked bread, desserts, and more. Should still be a contender for those that are experiencing an East Bay slice crawl. We were in the area waiting for a venue to open and grabbed some slices. The weather was actually pretty nice and we grabbed an outdoor table to enjoy. To note on Nick's slices because I know everyone is particular on their pizza slices these days: thin, crisp, and sourdough crust. Light and delish. We grabbed a few cheese slices and a pepperoni. I forgot to grab a side of ranch, but heard it's house made. If we had more time, would love to come back and try a full pie or try a deli sando during the week. Vegan options available. Parking is a bit tough, but street parking can be found around Nick's. Check hours before heading over. Check monthly specials too. Catering available and if placing a large pie order, you can email ahead of time. read more

Visited yet another unaffordable (for me) open house in the neighborhood last weekend, and needed a consolation slice afterwards. Ordered a slice of the white pie and a chocolate chip cookie. Very much enjoyed the slice, which featured just the right hint of heat and nicely balanced the spinach and cheeses. read more

Had: 1 - slice of apple ricotta pizza yum but wished for more apple. 4.5/5 2- tomitillo sausage pumpkin seed pizza. A little salty and not much sausage. 3.5/5. 3-jamica lime drink 4.5/5. Refreshing and not too sweet; and 4- sourdough snickerdoodle. Good taste but lacked the sharp cream of tartar taste of classic snickerdoodle 4/5 Crusts on pies were awesome! read more

I heard about Nick's from a YouTube foodie and what caught my attention was the sourdough pizza crust. I love sourdough and pizza and was looking forward to trying it. I tried two slices ...one cheese and the other was yellow squash with tomatoes and I think basil. They were thin crust and I didn't really taste sourdough but they were delicious. I also had the house made cheesecake which was very good. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and let me know everything was house made except for the baguettes. The seating is outdoors and communal. I'll definitely be back:) read more

This place is amazing. When ever in the area it's a must to stop by Nick's Pizza. The menu constantly changes and that's a plus.

I had been to Nick's at its former locations a number of times before I was a YELP-er and always enjoyed it. They have always been vegan-friendly!!! I don't know how it fell off of my radar, but it's back on. I ordered some take-out pizzas last month and this past week I was able to dine there in their spacious outdoor area. We ordered off of the Vegan Classic menu and chose the Olive and Herb pizza. Tomato Sauce, Castelvetrano and Kalamata Olives, Caramelized Onions, Baby Spinach, Fresh Herbs. They are not stingy with their olives! It's a real olive pizza! There were two other vegan options that were mushroom based. The patio was busy but not overcrowded. There is a bathroom on site for customers. read more

My daughter thinks Nick's pizza is the all-time most amazing pizza ever. We've been coming to Nick's since it was down the street at their old location and have ordered it for our Friday night pizza night almost every week! We love the sourdough crust and the friendly staff. Cheese is my daughter's favorite. I love the olive and many of their specialties. So happy to have this independent pizza spot in our neighborhood! read more

Great slice very nice people!!! I have driven by so many times and today was the day and it didn't disappoint yum read more

Love the slices but a whole hot fresh pizza is the best. Love the spinach and mushroom. Don't miss the gigante bean salad!

Was told previously that the baked goods at Nick's pizza were amazing, especially the bagels. I can't verify that claim yet (though you best believe that I will be back to do so), but I can vouch for the incredible pizza. Got a 16 inch Italian Meat Lovers pizza. Definitely enough for 3-4 people to share. This is definitely for the carnivores out there. Good crunchy crispy dough/crust and toppings with every bit. It was on the saltier/oily side but you don't get pizza if you're trying to watch your salt and oil intake. Ordered online and pick up was seamless. Staff were incredibly friendly in the small moments I got to interact with them. Definitely plan on coming back to try out more of the pizzas and some baked goods. read more

Just went here with my hubbie and daughter - vibe is awesome, staff are super cool. And then there is the pizza. Wow, there is a lot of good pizza out there but no one does the crust better than Nicks. Divinely delicious. We were about to leave and ran into Phil a musician who was about to set up to play. We would have stayed to listen but had to leave sadly. Will return and recommend. Oh and yes, #Palestina Libre. read more

I just recently was given a half of a slice of pepperoni and fell in LOVE! The crust, sauce, scrumptious! Loads of pepperoni right amount of cheese and it was a day old and I thought I was back in Boston ( been here 3yrs) eating a real pizza! So yes went there ASAP and picked up a whole one with a little side of pizza sauce and it was to die for. It's a really cute spot looks spotless, immediately greeted with an happy smile then another smiling young man with our pizza! I just finished the last slice. We actually took it with us on a road trip so we ate it room temperature and it was still delicious just a bit of a pull on the crust but we didn't care. Heated it doesn't have that pull so keep that in mind. After I tried that first half slice I was spreading the word now I'm going to be sending a huge group shout out so get ready! Oh and next trip I'm adding a sandwich with the pepperoni pizza and some of their homemade ranch dressing! Yup homemade! Homemade beverages and cookies and the salads look pretty amazing. Look for a $5.00 discount when you spend $50.00 the guys with the smiles definitely deserve a generous tip so pay it forward. Only downside is their hours they close every night at EIGHT PM.... I know right ‍ except Sunday it's 7:00 so plan your life accordingly which is why you might have to pick up now and heat it up later but you definitely won't regret it! Bon Appetite.... P.S. parking was easy too read more

First time trying this place on a whim since I was in the area and it was so good! I ordered the classic pepperoni pizza and the portion size/toppings were generous. Staff is super friendly and love that they have a nice little outdoor seating area. read more

Nick's is the GOAT. We had seen this place for years while living in Oakland but for whatever reason we never went. Now it's the only place we'll go. Their crust is amazing, and I never feel bad after eating it. We had the sausage, pesto, potato, and onion pizza tonight and it was probably the best pizza we've ever had. So good every time. read more

The best pizza place near Bushrod Park. They serve the best food and drink. Also cookies are available for purchase. It's more expensive than Domino's but the ingredients are better. A chill place to hangout and people watch. Staff members here are modern people with an interesting outlook! read more

Loved everything about this place! Such a cool daytime spot to visit. With lots of outdoor seating, friendly staff, and delicious pizza slices. We can for an early lunch and beat the rush! Food came out fast, place started to get packed, and everyone was chowing on different types of pizza. First time trying sourdough pizza and it was soooo good! Nice balance of crunch and chew for a thin pizza. They also have desserts, coffee and baked goods! Definitely a gem of Oakland, where you can relax and enjoy eating right by the street. Check this place out for food to go or to have a nice meal outside. read more

Almost missed the place but Anh Phoong turned us around and we found the Grand Entrance. We were happy to find out that this place is Queer owned and operated and also Minority owned and operated and All Are Welcome. They allow NO ANIMALS (with the) EXCEPT (ion of some - read small print) animals. We would have accepted and we expected no less. Happy to see they have Free Palestine but I think they were out that day. Nick's has outdoor seating only. What a great beer garden type setting to drink a stein of pale ale but alas the sign said "no liquor license". A beer and wine license is all they need to take this place to the moon. As it was raining, I carried the best tasting deliciously crusted piping hot pizza over the threshold of our car and it was love at first to last bite. The only negative? The Check Please review on TV said they have pastrami. We drove there 20 miles for a pastrami sandwich AND a pizza and Apparently Nick's hasn't had pastrami for so long the young cashier didn't know that pastrami is ! CHECK IT OUT. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have good food. I always receive Amazing service every time I go. The sandwiches to me are my favorite thing on the menu. I like how you can get two protein options for the sandwich and its toppings are always super fresh and tasty. Their pizza is really good too. I love what they do with the crust. I highly recommend. read more

Always stop in for a slice when I am in the neighborhood. Love love love the the pizza, and everything about this space!

All my respected elite peeps dig this zah. Apparently the sourdough crust is to die for. On a rainy Saturday afternoon I ventured forth. Not a lot of parking nearby but got lucky. Parked in to go slot. Nobody was eating in the lot as the rain was falling, a totally funk hippy vibe. I also got the date salad along with combo 2-go. Don't know if it was Nick but the pizza chef was hella friendly and appreciated my coming out. Upon arrival at home, Wasn't feeling the fresh kale on top of combo as it sent the zah to a bitter place. Plus traffic was crazy and it was a tad cold. So with more half left I'll have to heat it up in a skillet and try again. However i pulled all the kale off so we shall see! read more

Excellent sourdough pizza! I love that you can get a custom pizza. The staff is really friendly. My husband ordered a snickerdoodle. They brought him an extra for free because they said the cookies came out a little crispy that day. How nice! Parking is a little tricky. We luckily found close by street parking but just be aware. Plenty of tables outside. read more

WOW!!! I'm an ex-new yorker who loves his pizza and though this isn't NY pizza (not that they claimed it was), it's outstanding pizza and the crust is amazing! We stumbled across Nick's driving to Berkeley and literally u-turned and stopped for lunch. It was one of the best decisions possibly in my life! Fun little parklet with seating outside, we ordered the White Pie and Asparagus Leek. The white pie was definitely the solid favorite by everyone (that's a must have), we liked the asparagus leek but the capers added maybe a little too much briney-ness. The crust though was fabulous! Real good crunch throughout the whole pie, I think it's sourdough base and the edge crust was fantastic. We loved the crust so much we also bought a sourdough batard to go and it's literally one of the best artisan loaves of bread I've had in the bay area. Great crust and flavor! I love the Pizza Coop in Berkeley, but the line for their 1 pie a day is insane. I think the pizza at Nick's is at least as good, possibly better and no line!!! And you can order what you want from multiple pies, not just the 1 they are making that day. No brainer...and I will make the detour any time to get pizza there. I'm literally thinking of swinging by this weekend again to pick up a couple more pies! read more

After moving to Oakland almost two years ago from montara, I have ran, biked, Driven past Nicks and today I finally ate lunch there! I went with the daily slice special featured for 7/27; that was the " Greek Heirloom" and "tasty peach" I just got the Greek and it was yummy, and we'll balanced featuring cheese, crumbled feta, heirloom tomatoes and Kala olives, with a crispy yummy finish of Nicks Sourdough! My buddy got the pepperoni (2x slices for under 10$!) and enjoyed them. The service was great, the other food and bread, baked goods looked really good, as well as this sando I saw a girl eating. Go visit! And #pizzayoself' read more

My neighbor said this is the best pizza they ever had. Like they ate it all in the car on their way home good. So we decided to try it. It was good, kind of different, not amazing, IMO. Pizza - nice thin and chewy sourdough crust. If you don't like sourdough this is not the place for you. Needed more sauce. We had two different kinds of pizzas with meat - very salty. I think the cheese mix had Parmesan in it. On the expensive side but what isn't. They had some typical Cali weird pizzas with peaches and stuff like that. Personally not into that but if that's your jam, they get creative. Other food - there were a couple other things on the menu - salads boxed up to go looked decent. Ambience - nonexistent. This is primarily a to go place with the parking area turned into seating - there were maybe 10 tables. They don't serve beer or wine. There is a ramp to go inside so it's ADA accessible. Service - fine. Pizza took about 25 min on a relatively slow Friday - it came out when they said it would. Free water and you can buy a slice if you're starving. Which I did. If you're in the area give it a go, or if you're dying for sourdough crust, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

They had such a good variety that suited a whole car full of soccer moms and soccer girls. From pastries , pizza and sandwich's everything was so tasty for the ride home. I purchased to slices of pizza,for focaccia bread, and a sandwich. Pizza was not greasy and flavorful, only complaint is I wish the sandwich has a tad more meat. The service was extremely friendly and helpful with a big group and really enjoyed the atmosphere as it was in a cozy neighborhood. I definitely recommend and will be returning. read more

New York style pizza with California flavors. I love seeing the staff cook the pizza as I'm ordering. Customer service is amazing as the staff represents the business values to be inclusive as possible. They have a free palestine poster too in front. The pizza itself is delicious. They have unique flavors that are seasonal like vodka, mushroom, etc. The cookies are huge like the size of Costco. Outdoor seating with lighting only. The only con I can think of is the street parking. Other than that, it's a good place to check out if you're in the area. read more

I placed an online order 2/6 for two sandwiches $36.80,paid and was immediately notified via phone that they were cancelling my order and refunding my money because they aren't making sandwiches today. This actually happened to me twice the other time on 1/15. Why offer a product if you can't fill the order. They never refunded my $36.80 from 2/6 and I have reached out to them 4 times through email for the refund and first they said they would be refunding the order right away but that never happened. I've reached out several more times and been ignored. What a horrible business model. Now I have to call my credit card company and dispute this transaction. What a waste of my time. Never going back to the disappointing place. read more

If you're looking for a good sourdough crust pizza, Nick's delivers a solid product. If you've had Arizmendi before, you'll already have a good sense of what you can expect in terms of texture for the crust. For a group of 6, we ended up ordering three large pizzas: Midnight Special - Pepperoni, Crimini Mushrooms, Side of Ranch, LHB -Melted Leeks, Heirloom Tomatoes, Brown Butter, Capers, and Figgy Piggy - Fresh Black Mission Figs, Shallots, Goat Cheese, Bacon, Fresh Arugula. We ended up with a half pizza for leftovers so it was the perfect amount. I enjoyed the fig pizza the most, as I love the contrast of sweet and savory, and the pepperoni one the least, since that pizza wasn't anything particularly special. Nick's gets insanely busy at dinner rush so expect wait times of over an hour. Overall, solid pizza for a premium price. read more

First time here and customer service is exceptional! Parker and Dwight are so friendly and welcoming! Same with the staff who cooked the pizza when I picked up. We got two slices, four bagels, two Diet Cokes and a sourdough baguette to go. We decided to sit outside to enjoy our pizzas and the sun. After devouring the delicious pizzas, I decided to go back in line and ordered a slice of cheese and a 12" Midnight Special to go. read more

I drove by this place and had never been. They have multiple flavors of pizza by the slice. Their puzza is very good. The crust taste like the best, freshest San Francisco sourdough but very tiny crust which I love. Their perocini pizza was my favorite followed by the white pue which is without sauce. The only thing that would make it better is fresh spinach. I just don't care for frozen spinach even I can't cook that and make it taste right. read more

We ordered a meatless slice and it was delicious! I don't have much info but the crust was sourdough tangy and one of the best pizza I've had and I'm not a vegetarian. I can't wait to go back! read more

I drove by this place almost everyday all of last year and finally stopped in two weeks ago. I immediately loved the environment, the service, the options, the prices, and the quality! I have already been back. It is basically impossible to find a sandwich for $10. But at Nick's you can absolutely build your own sandwich, with cheese and choose your home made bread for TEN DOLLARS. Insane. Amazing. They clearly also specialize in pizza which always looks great but is not my go to food. They are essentially also a bakery, so I felt like I needed to try the pumpkin cream cheese muffin. It was so freaking good omg. They nailed it. I saw in their dessert case a chocolate mousse drenched in caramel... WOW be careful if you allow yourself to indulge in that heavenly treat because you will definitely want more. There is also a ton of outside seating. I love this place. read more

Updating my Nick's review! They moved to a larger space with a great outdoor area to get your eat on. So happy for them and for us in the neighborhood! The main reason for this review upgrade: They added sandwiches (at lunch time) to the mix and they are fantastic. Only 2 namesake sandwiches, the rest are build your own, but I'm ok with that. Although I'd love for them to make an Italian speciality sandwich, but maybe in the future? They make their own bread and they consist of quality ingredients and are impressive. I went with a turkey, fresh motz and all the fixings and I was like "yep, nailed it." So simple, yet so delicious. The sandwiches remind me more of the delis back on the East Coast, which I mean, should always be the goal when chatting about deli's. You can't order them online, so you have to roll up and place your order and wait, but all good. The pizza is still good, thinner sour dough crust. Pricey, but pizza is pricey these days, what can I say? Overall Nick's, the upgrades both in space and menu are super appreciated and enjoyed. Thanks! read more

I drive by Nick's Pizza all the time and finally decided to stop in last week. The pizza we had was SO good, which we paired with the caesar salad. We tried the classic pepperoni pizza as well as a slice of the small potatoes. I really liked both of them but probably likes the small potatoes a bit more, but that's because I love white pizza. They had a ton of outdoor seating available when we were there, but no indoor seating. Currently, they are asking that you wear your mask when you come inside to order too. I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a slice or ordering a full pie to go. read more
