Absolutely enjoy this food if it's takeout or eating in. They've got great wings and it's fun to eat there because it is a cool little place. Service was perfect. read more

If I could rate this 0 stars I would. the service was slow I waited 2 hours for my food and once I got it was burnt and I asked the owner to cut the pizza into triangles and he flipped out read more

The Olympia was full of meat! I loved the ground beef on it. The sauce was flavorful. The crust was great. The Melissa Had a Little Lamb pizza is a gyro pizza. Their is tsatziki sauce on the side. The baklava was some of the best I've ever had! The service was great. It took 6 calls to get through, but I'm happy I ordered. I now am aware that there are 2 numbers to reach Nick's at. I came to pick up the pizza, & it was being freshly pulled out of the oven upon my arrival! read more

They have great pizza's and we grew up with Nick's as one of the best Owatonna pizza options. Tonight we were in the mood for broasted chicken so we thought, why not try Nick's? It was horrible but not just the chicken. The chicken was over done--the photo shows that. In addition it was extremely salty, we couldn't even eat it. It was a $45+ loss. Because Nick's has a reputation in Owatonna, I wanted to share with them how we couldn't even eat the chicken and they should check it themselves before serving more of it tonight...so I called to let them know.... The phone was handed to someone to take my statement--this lady was short with me, cut me off, said they have already served a lot tonight with no complaints, and I was hung up on. It will be a long time before we go back to support Nick's as a small town business, if ever. Worse than the chicken was the customer service. I was asking for nothing but to be heard and that was too much to ask it seems. read more

Nick's Pizza Palace - Chicken from the meals they offer with bun, Jo Jo's, and salad. - Pizza Near Me - Owatonna, Minnesota

very bad the worst pizza I have ever tasted and it was overpriced very little toppings and it made me sick for a week. don't come here

Best pizza In town always nice people and service and quick takes about 20 mins which ain't to long

Its changed. The past few times the taste is off. We got it tonight and ate a couple slices a piece and tossed it. Definantly won't be back. A lot of places in Owatonna are going down hill though so this is just another place you can't go to. Positive is that will lose weight from not eating out. read more

Recommended to go here by a local person, not super impressed. Pizza was good, nothing unique or big flavors. Pizza was very sloppily thrown together, no care (see photo). Guy raging my order repeated everything I said as a question, and got a lot wrong even after I repeated myself numerous times. A nickel-and-dime-ya kinda place too--upcharge for a little extra sauce, no substituting spinach for olives, etc... Good, not great, prices not bad. Better pizza at Taste of the Big Apple and much friendlier. read more

Nick's Pizza Palace - Mediterranean pizza no olives - Pizza Near Me - Owatonna, Minnesota

Went in on a Tuesday evening at 6:30 - greeted immediately and asked to sign in (covid) - staff was masked, tables were spotless, and the restaurant seemed busy but running smoothly. The waitress grabbed our drink order, and was back immediately to deliver sodas and take our pizza order. While we waited for our pizza, a couple of different folks stopped by the table to check on us. Cheesy garlic bread was tasty and didn't take long at all - The pizza was effing awesome - worth every cent, and took less than 15 minutes I'd guess. We got the Olympia pizza (pepperoni, beef, sausage, onions, double cheese) and it was piping hot, loaded with ingredients, and had the perfect amount of cheese for us. We'll definitely be back - we were really pleased that we gave Nick's a try! read more

The food was fantastic and so greasy too. The service was fast and people are nice. The place was well sitting areas

Pizza was thin crust with good flavor, reminded me of pizza I grew up on. Our waitress was very attentive and cozy atmosphere of a small town pizza place. Will return again. read more

Love the pizza palace atmosphere.. you can get slice of pizza(huge slices) and a drink for under $6.. u pay cash or check No cards is how she can stay so low on her prices. Her staff has an amazing welcoming feeling when u come in and the pizza is AMAZING! Love the small businesses i give my $$ there 1st read more

Dont know who was making the pizzas tonight but ours had no taste and i usually love nick's pizza

My husband and I ordered the night we moved into Owatonna. The pizza was awful, hardly any toppings. And it taste like cardboard. Haven't been there since. read more

Great pizza, good service and they have been in business for 40 years in Owatonna.... So that should speak volume!!

My favorite pizza place in Owatonna! Quick and timely service for pickup or delivery. If you enjoy thin crust, cut in squares, this is the pizza for you. Little more expensive, but worth it for the great pizza and to support a local business! read more

WOW!!!! NICK'S PIZZA HAS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! We ordered two pizzas last weekend. I can not eat green peppers and ordered one small pizza without. It took almost two hours for our pizzas to arrive (I did have to call once to ask about it). My pizza came with a lot of green peppers on it. I called back and they said they were very busy and could credit me. Remaking it was NOT an option. I just called tonight to order pizza again and let them know I had a credit. They said, yes, you have a $2 dollar credit...WHAT??? I questioned them about this and they said they were giving me credit for the messed up topping....REALLY!?! I couldn't eat any of the pizza!!! The staff AND manager was EXTREMELY RUDE!!! He said I was wasting his time!! He then offered to give me a 10% off on my $21.00 pizza I was going to order....WOW!!! A $2.10 credit I had heard a lot of bad things about this business lately and now I have experienced it first hand!!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! read more

I've been having Nick's Pizza delivered for many years and it's excellent. It's not just ordering something to eat. It's something that you look forward to. When friends who've moved away return to visit, two things they always want is pizza from Nick's and Tex-Mex from Grace's. read more

Had take out only, was surprised that they beat their delivery estimate by a half hour on a Saturday. Decent small town pizza.

I'm from Kansas and in town for work. Whenever I travel, I always try to find a pizza place that I can't get back home. I saw Nick's on Yelp, and I thought I'd give it a try. I kept it simple, ordering a pizza with pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese. It looked GREAT when they pulled it out of the oven, and it was AWESOME at the first bite! I almost felt bad that I couldn't finish it, but hey, I've got enough for lunch tomorrow AND the next day! It sucks that I'm only in town for two weeks, so I'll have to go back before I go home! read more

On our hunt for an apartment in Owatonna my partner and I decided to stop and have lunch here, but were a little surprised to find that it was not actually open for lunch. Knowing that we were going to be in town during the dinnertime hours as well, we opted to try it out later. I am actually quite glad that we did! We ordered the Olympia which is basically just a double meat, double cheese, grease monstrosity of a pizza. Dripping gobs of amazing melty cheese, and huge hunks of meat. Hah, my mouth is starting to water again! The service here... was ok. The waitress was attentive, and our glasses never ran dry, but I could totally tell that this is a really town-y kind of place. Everyone knew everyone else, and I noted that people who ordered after us got their items much quicker than we did. I suppose after the move we will eat here more though. Over half of our pizza had to be brought home, but I was not disappointed. Pro-Tip: This pizza is JUST as good if not better when eaten cold! read more

Have been eating there since I was about 9 years old. The dining room is small so if your eating inn check it out ahead of time. The thin crust pizza is exceptional. Georges special is one my favorites but don't miss the beef pizza it has super flavor. The Spaghetti and chicken is wonderful too. They have really kept up the traditions of Nicks all these years. I have been searching for great thin crust in the twin cites for awhile and its a bit hit and miss but when I am in Owatonna i always bring some back to the twin cities for everyone. The place is clean and well run. I would not order for delivery but I am fussy and i can drive 6 blocks and rush it home to my friends in half the time. OH have an update.. Had the kids in the restaurant and they both had the spaghetti. The plates were cleaned and they want more garlic cheese bread and they ate half my food.. So I guess I am ordering extra pizza next time.... read more

So we ordered two pizzas for delivery. One cheese for the kiddos and the George pizza and the boneless buffalo wings from the menu. After waiting nearly an 1hr 45 mins our pizza finally arrived barely warm. The cheese pizza for kids was not cut and had barely any cheese for being a cheese pizza. The pizza we ordered for ourselves was actually good (would better if it was warm) and had plenty of cheese and was actually cut (but we still had to improvise with a pocket knife). The boneless wings were ok too and would have been better not being two hours old. The two stars mainly reflects the poor delivery service and poor cheese pizza (lack of cheese and not cut) for the kids. read more

Pizza was very good we ordered that combo. Lack of any unsweetened Ice Tea would have helped for us diabetics. Service staff young fairly attentive to your table. I will try it again and see how the second try is. read more

Nick's Pizza Palace - Dinner with the folks! - Pizza Near Me - Owatonna, Minnesota

So disappointed. Ordered to a hotel room after a long day out of town. Ordered a cheese, sausage and mushroom pizza. Arrived lukewarm with one tiny piece of sausage placed on each square of pizza and could only find two pieces of canned mushroom on the pizza. Big yuck! read more

This is not a professionally managed business. I ordered a large pizza with no red sauce (I'm allergic to red sauce preservatives). The phone operator repeated my order back to me as a large cheese pizza. I OK'd the order, and the pizza arrived with inedible sauce. I called back, *very* politely informed them they had placed an incorrect order, and the operator replied that "you OK'd the order" and that she would not refund it. I protested in the most reasonable way I could, and the argument continued briefly until (I can only assume) the manager was alerted that I had been "swearing at the server" (an absolute lie). Two others (with very little stake in how much I paid for my pizza) were in the room, and both confirmed that I had ordered the pizza with no sauce, received it with sauce, and ultimately did not swear at the server (at least, until the conclusion of the conversation). I've spent a good deal of money here, and it's a shame they're throwing away good business. It ruined an evening, and I'd recommend you find some other petty disagreement to focus on instead of confronting the staff here. Go to the Big Apple. Or even Domino's. If you try here, you're guaranteed inconsistent service. read more

Great pizza, very good service- estimated time of pick up was really good. Crust was thin so if you like a more Chicago style this one is not for you, but excellent flavor in the sauce and really like the cheese to toppings ratio! read more

Stop here on a trip to Ames, IA. Great alternative to fast food and was totally worth the extra time. It appears Owatonna has many pizza places and we chose this one because of the review on yelp. The pizza was thin crust and the toppings were plentiful. I felt the pizza could have used a few more spices but overall I was very satisfied with the flavor I noticed on one of the pizzas they were making they used sliced (not shredded) cheese which I guess is a clever way to make sure the entire pizza is covered. read more

I always come to Nick's pizza because I love the flavor. Lately the staff has been rude, inattentive and slow. George has to realize even good food is not worth it with bad service. Wish the employees will take hygiene more seriously, like wearing gloves when handling ready to eat foods. The George's special is the best! read more

THE best pizza in Owatonna. I don't normally like thin crust but their pizza is amazing. Delivery can take a while, but the place is popular and what do you expect on the weekend? Service is great. Love it! read more

Quality has really gone downhill. Broasted chicken is great, if it's not overcooked. Same with the pizza. Last time we had the ham and cheese subs, they overcooked them too. read more

Talk about cutting corners. My whole order was nasty. And bottom of the barrel all of it

not as good as Valentinos in Rochester. Modifying my original review. It is fairly good. Probably best in Owatonna. Just not as good as several other places I have had such as Minneapolis . Takes a long time (40 min) for them to make pizza since so busy. Either order ahead of time (if u are eating in) or get a take out. read more

This is the best Pizza in town. I love the thin crust, seasoning in the sauce and tasty sausage.

Every town has that one restaurant that makes it unique and gives it charm. Nick's would be one of those restaurants for Owatonna! One of the best pizza places in town and a great way to take a break from all the chain pizza places. Highly recommend! read more

After waiting for over one and a half hours the pizza was cold when it finally got here. Where was it all that time? I was embarrassed as I'd told the grandkids Nicks had good pizza but it was similar to a cardboard frozen one. So disappointed! read more

Pizza was good. A little doughy in the middle. Wings were bleh. A little pricy for what you get. Service was friendly.

I went to Nick's on a Monday night. We had a medium George (pepperoni, mushroom, Canadian bacon, double cheese) on a thin crust, based on the recommendation of the waitress. It was delicious! The staff was friendly and we ended up hanging out there for hours. The decor is very basic. You aren't there for the ambiance anyway. The pizza isn't cheap. If you want cheap pizza go to Dominos. If you want good pizza go to Nick's. I only dinged it a star because I don't think they have a wood-fired brick oven. It was just short of perfection. I rarely go to Owatonna, but next time I do I hope it's during dining hours so I can go back to Nick's. read more

My most favorite pizza on the planet! I drive here from the cities to just pick up a pizza.

This had to be the worst pizza I ever ate. I live in Wisconsin and even our worst pizza's have more flavor then this. The cheese was nasty and the sauce had no taste. The vegies were canned and it was way overpriced. I would take any frozen pizza over this mess. Sorry but this ruined my evening. read more
