The best food in the Boston area. I cannot express how much I love this place. I live in Boston and drive from downtown Boston just to eat at this restaurant. The food at nicks is fresh beyond words. The meals here are huge. This place is my go to place when I want friends to be impressed. They have a huge menu and its all fresh. They have a huge menu and I love to try new things. I am never disappointed. If you are looking for a great meal, I promise you...NICKS IS THE PLACE.......LOVEEEEE THIS PLACE read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant, although the prices seem a little bit high the service is beyond friendly, fast and efficient. The portions were good and my steak and cheese sub was completely out of this world. I wish I had found this place 10 years ago. If there was a place like this in the town where I lived I guarantee you they would be a line out the door. Great job read more

We love Nick's Place, really friendly cashiers. My husband loves the roast beef they have. The waffle fries are amazing. we always eat calzones from them they are bomb!!! Nice to dining and nice to takeouts. My orders never arrive cold. Always fresh and hot. And their prices are normal. I really really really really like nicksplace and Winthrop. Let's talk about how clean that place it is. That makes a totally difference, when you dinner in. A lot of employees but they are all very organized and friendly to each other. Sometimes when you walk to a place and see coworkers fighting it's really bad but that I really like to go there because they are always helping each other and they are always nice to customers. And it's perfect because they have a drive-through. Everybody likes fresh food and drive Through. read more

This place has the BEST food...! I'm in E.Boston and I live very close to a few pizza places also mention ones that I religiously would order from,But have noticed that their food has gone down the tubes like they just don't care bout their customers anymore...Nicks place goes above and beyond customer service and the quality and the amount for ur money during this crazy time is well worth it...My son can't eat a lot a foods but when asked if they could do something ill extra for me....no problem they had with making my meal the way I needed it... if u r looking for good food and wonderful hospitality!!! Nicks in my opinion is the way to go..and just saying their margaritas pizza is a REAL margaritas pizza!! Also shrimp scampi pizza is unreal...I wish I could rate this place 100 stars,they deserve it. read more

While wandering around Winthrop on our last day in New England, we Googled best local seafood restaurants and found Nick's Place. We couldn't have been happier! My Hawaiian husband got one last shrimp roll and this Kansas girl had a fantastic calzone. Come hungry, cuz Tony don't play - the portions are huge and the staff is awesome. It's easy to see why they've been around for years. read more

Good variety of and good quality, however; every time I order they forget something and I still get charged for it. I called about it and they were nice and corrected the mistake. read more

The onion rings are not the same as the ones at the revere location. Definitely dissappointing. They have other decent food on the menu though. read more

The best steak and cheese sub. The chicken kabob salad is delicious. The fried clams rival all the places in Essex.

Excellent family owned restaurant perfect for any thing you are craving! Nick's is the place to visit when in the Winthrop, MA area. Extensive menu of cold and hot subs, calzones, salads, burgers, and more. Everything is fresh, made to order. Terrific home-made desserts. There service is also top notch. Gabriella made us feel like family the moment we came in. We have eaten at Nick's 4 times over the last year when visiting from NC and it's always awesome. We look forward to returning! read more

Love Nick's Place in Winthrop! We have been getting food there for years! Delicious, Food! They have Excellent Roast Beef and Mash Potatoes ect. A Great place for take out! read more

I really love how attentive the staff is in taking my order and how accurate they are with the food itself. They take the time to review what I've ordered and make sure they're getting it right. Today I ordered just about $200 worth of food for my employees at Logan Airport, Nick's did not disappoint! I ordered 4 sheets (Yes WHOLE SHEETS) of pizza (The Chicken Broccoli Alfredo was THE HIT), a couple salads and 4 two-liter sodas. They expertly packed all side items and even had the staff bring everything out to my car. I had so many of my employees ask me where we ordered from because it was so delicious. The pizzas were so good, delicious sauce, not too sweet not too acidic and the toppings seriously on point. At some places you get so little toppings and your like WTH?! Or too many that it makes the whole thing soggy. Nicks knows what's up and definitely follows through on quality! This may actually be my new favorite place to order from. (Previously I'd have recommended Pizza Days in Revere, also damn good too). I do have to mention, their entree sized Steak Tip Salad is killer, fresh greens and perfectly cooked and seasoned steak, and that dressing! Oh that dressing! There's a reason they sell it by the bottle lol. If you can't tell, I dig this place... check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Recommend 1000% (update: pizza is equally as good cold) read more

Lost us as customers tonight! We order from Nicks at least 2-3 times a week and the food is now disgusting. We have it the benefit of the doubt the last few orders but not anymore. Just a couple examples, ordered chicken noodle soup a few days ago and it was 95% broth. Ordered again tonight and I had to call the restaurant to see what kind of meat was in the chicken noodle soup! It was so bad! The manager told me it was chicken, I told him it definitely was not and that we picked out pieces and still couldn't figure it out. He put me on hold then told me it was left over turkey!! I sat there confused.. why are they putting left over turkey in "chicken noodle soup" and not 1 piece of chicken?? I threw it away and moved on to the roast beef sandwich. I've never had a roast beef sandwich so dry that I had to drown it in sauce!!! I threw that away since the meat looked gray!! Something is going on there because their food went from great to disgusting. NEVER AGAIN NICKS. Completely lost our business, and you used to get a lot of business from us. read more

Nick's Place - This is the mystery meat in the chicken noodle soup! Not 1 piece of chicken, the manager said it was left over turkey!! - Pizza Near Me - Winthrop, Massachusetts

Wonderful! Absolutely delicious pizza and salads. Huge portions. Great prices. Fast and perfect delivery. Everything good to say. Gotta try their Philly Pizza. So....Good! Thank you Nick's! read more

Traveled all day from the west coast, for a one day meeting tomorrow. Waited to eat as I did not want to eat airport food. Nick's Place flat out no-showed my delivery. Awesome. People who wonder why chains are dominant... they have process in place to prevent this total nonsense and someone to complain to when wronged. Stay clear of Nick's Place based on my experience. read more

OMG.!!!!!!!! I love this place. I don't live around but I will always be here when I'm in the area. The service was Amazing and had my daughter with me how has allergies and the owners son was so helpful that I am love with every part of this place. My chicken kabob salad was so good I kept eating even though I was full. Let's talk about the pizza now. You got to try it.... Get a cheese pizza and Chicken kabob salad with their Homemade Dressing. OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE. my insides were crying because it was so Happy read more

I like their chicken tender salad. Steak and cheese and pizza were terrible. The steak and cheese was tasteless without any seasoning. read more

Don't let the price of a chicken salad scare you, the portions are huge and the staff is nice. Great for quick takeout when you're having a night in. read more

It saddens me that there are still restaurants out there that believe in having a huge menu will generate more customers. Also sad that there are customers out there that still believe that if a restaurant carries every single food item it must equate to an awesome food eating experience. Nick's is such a place. Unfortunately this handicaps the cooks and disappoints the customer. Case in point. I ordered their mac & cheese. I got a watery flavorless cheese sauce on top of overcooked pasta. The warning signs are when you visit the restaurant. Most of the cooks look like young kids/adults trying to execute every Greek and American comfort food imaginable. Nick's is not about cooking food but rather their concept, as with most restaurants with huge menus is what I call a "lego" concept. The lego concept is combining pre-cooked ingredients that they order outside and re-heat it with minimal cooking. Lots of these type of restaurants normally carry frozen prepared ingredients along with prepared canned items. They believe that by doing this they can hire unskilled young teenagers to simply combine these ingredients and pass it off as "comfort" food. A real experienced chef will struggle mightily cooking every 30 plus food items on this menu. Hence most restaurants with great reviews tend to have smaller menus. Those chefs can quickly execute their main dishes using fresh ingredients. As a result customers consistently get good food. At Nick's one day you will get a hamburger cooked correctly the next time you will get an overcooked hamburger that is flavorless and tough like leather. Seasoning is also a skill that takes chefs years to master. Especially when it comes to salt. Most young cooks don't execute this well. They forget to season each ingredient of the recipe. Going back to the hamburger at Nicks you will n notice this easily. The meat has no salt. The tomatoes have no salt, The lettuce has no salt. So when they combine all these 3 things together they expect that it would taste full of flavor. They are wrong. Meat needs salt before cooking. During the cooking process the salt helps in tenderizing the meat by removing the water content. It is this process that brings out the flavor of the meat. If a restaurant ever tells you they don't add salt to their food for health reasons run away..Run very far away. Those places don't understand the fundamental concept of basic cooking. Finally, comfort food requires cooking of all ingredients fresh from scratch. Including their tomato sauce which by the taste of it comes straight from a can which they throw on top of a pizza. The sauce is bland and lifeless. If Nick's cut down their menu and concentrated on either Greek food or Comfort food with a well trained chef this place would be awesome. read more

DO YOU LIKE TO VOMIT? There's been a lot of victim's of Nick's Place's food. The board of heath gets so many complaints that they'll need to move next door. I was one of their victims a few months back. I ordered a chicken parm dinner that appeared as if it were BLASTED in the microwave for days on end. Leave it on the table for an hour and it's still hot. There's one guy in the back that makes sure nobody's looking and he throws your food in the microwave while you're not looking. When I let my food cool down, it was one big container of grease. I was a little scared to eat it. Anyway, the next day I woke up feeling as if I was dying. Then I went into the bathroom and vomited. All the employees look miserable, especially in the summer. It becomes a real life sweatshop come June. All their hair is absolutely soaked in grease. Maybe that's why so many customers get sick from their greasy ass food. read more

Ordered for the first time tonight. Regret. Food is cold and soggy, took an hour (I live within a 5 min drive), and the driver was clearly high. Massive regret. read more

I've lived in Winthrop for 15 years. Nick's Place used to be a little corner place smack in the center of town, with much better serving sizes, lower prices, and efficient but courteous staff. In my opinion, all three have gone downhill with the move to and renovation of a former McDonald's a block away. Every time I go back (only twice now since the move a few years ago), I'm reminded of the same and kick myself. The sirloin tips are more elastic, less tender. Their salads are small now. Subs are OK. Their pizzas are good, but not worth driving to. The staff are about speed in getting your money, but not about quality or your satisfaction. The last two times I went there they messed up my order, and it was just a salad, a small cheese pizza and a side of chicken wings! Plenty of parking. Easy to find in Winthrop center. My new favorite is Royal's Roast Beef & Seafood on Bennington St. in East Boston, only a short drive away. They don't have pizza, but EVERYTHING they sell is superbly fresh, and servings are huge. read more

Wife got sick from eating spoiled food here. Needless to say will never order from here again. Someone tells me that It turns out they had there refrigerator broken down for 2 days and they kept using the marinated chicken that was stored in it. They also said around 20 people reported sick from the board of health in Winthrop over it. I used to love them but after this fiasco, will never order from them again if its true. I cant believe they would served items that were spoiled or just not refrigerated. Maybe its just someone exaggeration but my wife was sick after about 6 hours eating there. Funny that some folks also tell me a lot of other people were sick around the same time. read more

Food Delivery The guy who does delivery is all over the place. Called me 3 times to say he's here first at the wrong address then to say he's pulling up then 10 min later to say he's here read more

After multiple trips back here, I'd gladly up this to 5 stars. This is not a fancy place but they do the job right and their food is delicious! The salads are super fresh. The Greek or Caesar are usually in my order every time. The subs are awesome. The chicken parm is still one of the best I've had. The pizza is still substantial. I even ventured out to the fried clam bellies, a small order is $13 but is a full plate enough to share and they are as fresh as you can get. The place is always so busy, when you walk in you will see at least 10 people in the open kitchen cooking away. The gals at the register always are friendly. Every time I go, the same lady is ready to clean any tables in the dining room. They even have a small patio towards the parking lot. This is my regular pick for a satisfying dinner on the cheap! read more

The food and service at Nick's was beyond excellent!!! Pizza and beef tips were great, and the roast beef is the best I have ever had. I highly recommend!!! read more

Why do I love Nick's? Other than it being wicked close to my house? Easy. Three words for ya: Drive Through Window. Yup! Drive through window! Call in a pick up order, 10 minutes later it's being passed to you through the driver's side window! Especially appreciated during the awesome New England winters! Pizzas are insanely cheesy, salads are surprisingly large (don't let the little tin fool you, once you start pulling it out onto a large plate, it just keeps coming!), and the service is great! Seriously, really sweet teenagers. And you gotta love supporting local businesses! read more

Two words- Kabob Salad. ::Drool:: Every time I go to Winthrop we go to Nick's. My fiancé grew up on this stuff and you can tell because even now when we walk in only a few times a year, the owner is always there to greet us! He even made me custom orders for my food allergies! ::Swoon:: The front desk girls/guys are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, definitely worth tipping! :) Parking is easy, service is fast, the prices are great for the amount of food you get. It looks like they have recently added an outdoor section for seating in the back annnnnnnnnnd, dig this..... DRIVE THROUGH PICK UP! Just call ahead! Can't beat that!!! Eat at Nicks! read more

The service over the phone is the worst one in MA, there are young girls that always answer the phone for orders and they are very rude. Unfortunately I'm almost sure the owner dos not know about this. read more

Nick's Place - They have a terrible customer service over the phone and look what I just found in their salad, a fly... - Pizza Near Me - Winthrop, Massachusetts

Man, I wish we had a place like this where I'm from. I mean, take a look at their menu - it's comically huge. They serve everything and as far as I can tell, everything is top-notch. We ordered a bunch of subs and split them so we could all have a taste of each. The steak tip sub was tops on everyone's list but while in the Boston area, I fell in love with the roast beef sandwich. And Nick's has a good one. The closest thing we have out west is Arby's but that's not even close to a fair comparison. Nick's super roast beef come with a massive amount of hot, sliced roast beef on an onion roll with BBQ sauce, American cheese and mayo (known as a 3-way). Horseradish sauce comes by request and is a must. I think it might be my new death row meal. When I got back from Boston I tried to make them at home but sadly, I just couldn't get it right. And forget Arby's - I will never go there again. Nick's ruined me! read more

We order the burger , curly fries and quesadilla. Fast service. Nice guilty pleasure for when you want to splurge .

Staying by the airport and needed delivery dinner. Delivery took awhile but the pizza was delicious. We got thin crust with sausage and mushroom. It was a good pie- definitely would order it again if I stayed in the same Driver was a bit clueless and the pie was getting cold when it arrived. Otherwise, solid choice for by the airport delivery. read more

"Hey, isn't this the old McDonald's?" That was the first question I asked when I entered Nick's. The second was, "How big is this damn menu?" A giant menu can either be a blessing or a curse. It falls somewhere in the middle for Nick's. My aunt and I each ordered a roast beef sandwich with extra sauce and small sides of fries and onion rings to split. Let me tell you, these "small" sides were humongous. My mouth fell open when they brought them out. The onion rings were awesome. The sandwich was just OK. All I asked for was extra sauce and I didn't get it. The beef was kind of bland and the bun was greasy. But the prices are cheap while the portions are giant. My uncle got a fish plate special and everything that came with it was huge, from the salad to the fish itself. However, I'd rather pay more for better quality food. Perhaps they should trim down the menu and improve the remaining items. Right now they seem to be focusing more on quantity rather than quality. It was strange how staff members kept coming to our table. One lady came over at least five times to take things away. I appreciate the thought, but the arm-reaching became increasingly awkward. And what's with all the teenagers that hang here? I know it's Winthrop and all, but there have to be better places to discuss bongs. read more

Ordered the margarita pizza and the mac and cheese pizza; both were incredible. The delivery was faster than expected and the driver was very nice. So impressed with this restaurant! read more

Nicks has moved! Its located one block away in the old McDonalds on Pauline St. More tables, flat screen TVs on the walls, expanded the menu to include seafood, they did a great job! Also there are some weekly specials you should know about, I dont know how long they will last but as of this posting on Mondays after 4pm, cheese pizzas cost as much as the time you called. So if you call at 4:01 pm the pizza cost $4.01 and so on. Great deal. Also on Wednesdays, all Pasta Dinners are $4. The dinners are huge and can easily feed two people, so this is an amazing deal. The Chicken Cutlet and Lasagna is my favorite. read more

Was not impressed one bit. The cashiers didnt look happy and also they looked confused. There are WAY too many things to choose from. The menu is ridiculous. Which makes me wonder how good their food is in the back, sitting and waiting to be cooked and used for an order. I ordered a GRILLED shrimp, bacon and grilled chicken quesadilla. Which come to find out is actually a wrap. They didnt put the grilled chicken in it, which is usually how it comes anyway. And the shrimp was not grilled it was sautéed. The chicken wings, which they said were fresh, were not good. The steak fries were ok. You can't really mess up fries. We did order them well done and they did just so. Needless to say, the best part of my meal was the bottled canada dry ginger ale and the chocolate chip cookie at the end. My boyfriend wasn't impressed with his beef dinner with rice and corn but it was ok he said. I won't eat here again but hey, could of been a bad day over at nick's place. read more

I've been living in East Boston for over 3 years now, and in the metro Boston area for over 10 years. Here's the verdict people: Santarpio's is all hype, no substance. I've ordered from almost every place of every food type that offers delivery, and hands down Nick's has the competition beat for their specialty pizzas. Pro-tip: don't sleep on their mashed potato specialty pizza, especially with the fall weather around the corner. Also their Greek lemon chicken soup is very very good (I'm a Greek boy so I know this, maaaan). #yourewelcome read more

Terrible this restaurant and bought a sandwich called Cuban terrible. They do not know how to cook give you the raw food without taste that passes that is why have so many people ordering and to exit the orders give you the raw food they stole the money and it is not the first time.Sorry those who buy that food . i am very unhappy. read more

WOW! This place is SOLID! Now, I have only been here once (today), I was pleasantly surprised! Growing up in the food industry, my dad (a typical Greek import) always worked in the kitchen. He now owns his own same style/type of restaurant as Nick's. So I definitely know good, quality food when I taste it! I had a new item (not even listed on the menu yet) today: Lamb tip salad with their dressing. I asked for Medium-rare...and I got about 6-8 huge chunks of medium rare lamb! Salad was huge; came with pretty much everything on it BUT the kitchen sink! Including feta, olives and two lemon wedges! OH! And their dressing was so tasty! Huge lamb tip salad: $8.50. Can't go wrong! My boyfriend ordered his beloved chicken kabob salad, and he said it was just as good as he remembered it! He let me try it, it was yummy. I can appreciate the huge selection of foods that they offer and I hope to try everything very soon! Huge establishment (in an old Mickey D's), lots of off street parking, drive thru, catering, delivery, outdoor patio AND takes major credit cards! This place has AND does it all! Your official go-to restaurant! So hurry up and GO! Won't be disappointed! read more

I love Nick's and I often find myself craving it from 3,000mi away. Currently experiencing lil pangs of jealously/hunger knowing that my fam can swing by Nick's anytime they'd like- which is quiet often. My family has moved back to Winthrop which means the delectable steak tips & baklava will be within walking distance when I come home for a visit. Simple. No fuss. Qualify food. Keep doing what you do! read more
