Stopped by Nikki's Pizza today on a rainy afternoon and had one of those unexpectedly great experiences. I walked up with my dog planning to tie him to a light post while I ran inside to order, but before I could even get to the door the manager noticed us and invited us to wait in a covered alcove so my dog could stay dry and comfortable. It immediately made me feel welcome. While waiting, I grabbed a drink ,.. they have cocktails, draft beer, and bottled options ....and the whole place had such an easygoing, friendly vibe. The pizza itself was the real deal: true New York-style and absolutely delicious. Great people, great atmosphere, and food that lives up to it. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Lately, Nicky's has become our "Go to" when we're hungry for a tasty pizza, and our last visit did not disappoint. Nicky's is on Main Street and though one might be worried about parking, there are plenty of spaces available. We parked in the lot by the Ice House Amphitheater. Our friends got a spot right in front of the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and after initially being seated by the window, we requested a move closer to the fire place. We ordered our usual: Grandma's with sausage and mushrooms on one half. When the pie arrived after about 15 minutes, it looked great. The sauce at Nicky's is a bit tangy and slightly sour, which we prefer. The crust is thin and slightly crunchy with a nice chew included. The large pie is cut in eight pieces, so each is us got two nice sized slices. The restaurant is cozy and features two dining areas. There are loots of pizza places to choose from and Nicky's is too good not to check out. read more

I stopped in for a lunch with my mom. We ordered the bbq chicken pizza, Stromboli, and salad. The portion size was as expected with the price. The pizza was great. A few pieces were salty, but the meat and ingredients tasted fresh and made to order. The service was so friendly and attentive. The restaurant could have been a little cleaner. The walls at the table had a few stains. The table itself was clean. Also, they have cute outdoor area to sit. Can't wait to go back in a spring day! read more

Phone line is cut off so I couldn't order head before work (as a nurse) and when I get there, they tell me they don't sell ANY slices of pizza. :/ Could have saved me trip by having a phone one. Also what pizza place doesn't sell a slice of pizza on a Saturday evening?? read more

I'd say it's one of the best pizza places around BUT do not order pizza a couple hours a head of time. The last time I did that, the pizza seems like they made it and the left it on top of the oven for over an hour. The crust and undercarriage was very hard, it started to hurt the roof of my mouth. Also, the staff has never been attentive, either they've given me the wrong order, said it's not ready yet and then turn around to say it's ready, or they don't know how to answer questions...it's like they're not trained on good customer service Love the pizza but good luck getting it on time when it's busy. read more

I wanted to leave a terrible review, however the pizza was delicious. The service was absolutely horrible. We were there for 2 hours, didn't get to order until an hour in. When we asked to order the response we got was "oh you haven't ordered yet?" It wasn't a pleasant customer experience but the pizza was quite good. Will only order pick up moving forward. read more

Fun place. Great food. Super casual. Great place for large group gatherings. Friendly staff. Wine by the carafe - love that.

This is an HONEST review from someone who loves Nicky's. The food itself deserves 5 stars. From the appetizers to the cannoli, everything is AMAZING. Even if you take a pizza togo, it's great. That being said, tonight has left an extremely sour taste in our mouths: To start, we brought 4 friends who hadn't had Nicky's and they were excited to give it a try after our raving about the quality of food and service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a kind young woman who offered to accommodate our party of 6 with an add on table. We said thank you and proceeded to wait for her as she directed us. After 10 minutes, a LOVELY gentleman came to us to say "we can't sit you because we are full. You'll have to sit outside." I told him that we were waiting on the young women who told us to wait. He the got an attitude and told us they were FULL. they were indeed not full. We were looking at 5 open table. We still stood there to wait since he said it would be 45 minutes. He finally came back reluctantly to accommodate us a table. Two hour surprise, he was our server. He took our drink orders and then went to the back to get on his phone and gossip. When we got our drinks there were NOODLES in the bottoms of the cups. He was rude about that as well. He was sassy and nasty towards us the whole time. One person NEVER received their food and instead of telling us that it was never made, an hour and a half into our dinner he rushed the kitchen to make an order that was never even made, and did not tell us. After everyone was finished with their DESSERTS, we then told him to not rush a pizza because ours already took 40 minutes to make so another pizza would obviously take longer than the 5 minutes he suspected. The manager gave us no resolve and when we told him to take the pizza off and not make it, they then tacked gratuity onto our bill !!! Haha, such a funny way to end a terrible night with the worst server I have ever encountered. Pretty sure he was also drunk from all of the word slurring and missing orders. To the one cook who came to apologize for the noodles in our drink, thank you. You were the only person there that gave any relief to the situation. If it wasn't for the food quality, I would give this 1 star. Maybe don't force people to stay an extra hour for food that was never made and make them pay for it on top of gratuity. RIDICULOUS. read more

Tried Nicky's for the first time last week. Waitress was sweet and the pizza was pretty good, I'd go back again for it. It was a bit small for a large tho. The fried raviolis were very bland and the sauce served with them tasted like a chunky jar sauce. The garlic knots were flavorful and not greasy. All of our food came out hot. The inside was clean and a typical pizzeria decor. We took 2 cannolis to go and they were pretty good! read more

Its not good business to call out your customers on Facebook. If you cant provide quality service guests expect, then close or do To-Go orders only. Ryan was very forgetful and took 10 minutes to bring us plates to eat our pizza. Here's a tip to management, if you cant pay your employees a living wage, stop relying on your patrons to "pay" them. Tiny space and terrible parking. Do not recommend. read more

Went to Nicky's tonight with my husband, daughter and son-in-law for supper. I had lasagna, my husband had Stromboli my daughter had personal pizza and my son-in-law had a calzone. My lasagna came out first then 20 minutes later my daughter's pizza came out then another 20 minutes before the others. It was not good! Edit: I think this guy does everything except take accountability for his below average quality food/service. read more

I have really missed Nicky's Pizza. Whe I found out that the location in 5 points closed, I literally cried because they were my favorite go-to place for NY thin crust style pizza. But I happened to be in Lexington and saw the name, so I went inside and asked if they were the same place. And they were. Straight up, I hugged the server, I was so happy!! So of course I had to order a few pieces "by the slice". The Sicilian is a deep crust pizza. I got it with sausage. The dough is just so fluffy but also crispy and flavorful, it begs for a bowl of extra sauce for dipping. But for me it was just a bit too much dough. I don't eat alot of bread so this is strictly a personal preference and not a slight on their ability to make awesome pizza. The other slice was a "Grandma slice" with shaved meatballs and OMG ! This was just so awesome. The crust wasn't quite as thin as Thin crust, but it easily definitely hand tossed. Oh so good! The place is bigger than the 5 points location with excellent natural light and they do serve beer and wine. They also have salads and pasta dishes if you're not in the mood for pizza. read more

Easily the most bittersweet review I've ever written. We have tried this place multiple times and somehow it's never been good for my family. Anytime I've ordered it by myself it's always incredible though. With the family, the food has always come out cold or overcooked. Nobody liked their food. However everytime I'm on my own for dinner I order this to go and it's always amazing. I can't explain and it kills me since this is the best NY style pizza in the midlands. Service is always good & it does that small pizza shop ambiance perfectly. read more

Best pizza in town! We received the wrong order tonight from Door Dash but we called Nicky's and they made us a new one and apologized profusely. They are helping families in our community so much right now and we really appreciate them! read more

Had a somewhat disappointing meal at Nicky's today. We didn't get the salad dressings we ordered; and we were seated near enough to the prep area, to easily figure out why the pizza dough was tough. It was entirely overworked, tossed into elastic toughness. Just visiting town; and would probably return because of the great flavors;). Please quit beating the dough up!! read more

My husband and I officially moved to South Carolina two days ago, and after a long day of moving, we decided to try Nicky's Pizzeria. We asked around for a laid-back place with good food and drinks, and we were pointed to this place. I don't eat meat, so I ordered half jalapeños/feta, and my husband ordered half pepperoni mushroom. The pizza did not disappoint; it was delicious. I was a little skeptical at first, as I'm used to my favorite places in the Northern VA/DC area. I also got the house salad with no olives and the red wine vinaigrette; it was good. My husband ordered the chicken wings extra crispy, and he thought they were okay, but he agreed the pizza was great. The owner and the servers were very personable; we told her it was our first day in town, and she recommended so many spots to try. read more

I had a pizza here about a month ago and it was good however, tonight the pizza was AWFUL I ordered a margarita pizza and I received a cold crust swimming in tomatoe sauce with a few pieces of cold round cheese not even melted. The other pizza I ordered was a cold pepperoni pizza the crusts on both pizzas were cold and not crisp. The kitchen help obviously do not know how to cook. read more

Have heard such great things about this restaurant but missed the mark big time with our visit. Food came out at all different times. That would be ok if it was at least edible but it was not. It was cold and then when heated back up burnt. Spoke with the manager and was told all food was cooked in the am and reheated. Made excuses they were very busy throughout the evening and he did apologize. read more

We are visiting town and were walking by and went in on a whim. It was a Monday afternoon and there were a few people in there. It's a nice place. We wanted a single slice and a beer. The owner was there and a new kid and neither knew anything really about the beer. A woman sitting at a table chimed in and helped us (owners wife I assume). We got our pints and ordered a two topping slice and sat outside. The pizza was good. The crust seemed NY. Lacked sauce. They did an excellent job with toppings and my mushrooms were fresh, not canned. read more

Got 2 Pies from here and brought them home, They were DANK!! Both pies smelled and tasted like a 100 year old wet musty basement. Not sure if it was from the box or something else but they were disgusting. I Tossed them in the trash, don't waste your $$. This was my second time trying them, will not do it again. GROSS read more

Second dining did not go well due to poor communication from waiter to kitchen and back. Slice ingredients not communicated properly and came out wrong. Waiter didn't check it. Reordered from kitchen, which took quite awhile on a non-busy evening. Suddenly became a whole pizza, rather than a slice replacement. Waiter threw kitchen staff under the bus for the communication mess ups. An hour and a half for 2 people and a simple dinner order. No real compensation offered. May not return. read more

Everything delivery time sending the customer what they ordered and make it right if they get it wrong. Was like they big deal we didn't get everything that we ordered. I'm here from Pennsylvania and sent almost 100 dollars and they just didn't care. Would not recommend this place food we did get wasn't good and didn't get the 3 ice tea we ordered and after I called noticed a large sub was also missing..... read more

Excellent service was received by Logan. My wife and I decided to visit this restaurant downtown Lexington Saturday evening. Although the pizza order took a bit longer than we anticipated, it was well worth the wait. The size of the pizza was way more than enough for two people and would have easily fed a third person. All the ingredients were fresh and the crust was prepared perfectly. We will return another time... Thanks Logan and the rest of the staff for a great pizza and experience! read more

Nicky’s Pizzeria - half cheese half bacon - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

JUST THE FACTS: 1. My husband's meal was brought to the table 15 minutes AFTER mine so we did not get to enjoy our meal at the same time. 2. His meal was burned to a crisp. The stromboli was BLACK on the bottom and edges. Totally inedible. 3. When we spoke to, who we were TOLD was the manager (although I highly doubt he was), he immediately came back with "I'll have you know that is a PERFECTLY COOKED stromboli" even after I showed him the hard as a rock, blackened bottom and crust. When we told him we would never come back to eat there be replied "WELL THANK GOD!" 4. I asked for the check but after waiting another 10 minutes without getting it and watching 4 to 5 teenagers behind the counter (including the manager) joke around, laugh and watch tv, I went up to get the check from our server (Kate was very nice and yes, we tipped her well). I signed my copy of the receipt and told her "God bless you for working with that moron" (hey, I said I would stick to the FACTS so yes, I said that). We left and we will NEVER go back. 5. They did remove the stromboli from our bill but we never got an apology (or ANY clue that he cared at all) from the "manager", Benny. All we got were excuses. 6. I got a comment on my post about how awful they were, from their Facebook page, stating how upset they were at my behaviour and even a thinly-veiled threat of a retaliatory negative review for MY business if I left one for THEM. UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, AWFUL SERVICE (except for Kate) AND HORRIBLE FOOD. Don't bother going unless you are really craving overcooked, greasy food. read more

After the owners changed the pizza no longer reminds me of home .... It doesn't come close to ny pizza that's it that's all :)

This was the pizza joint that we fell in love with in Lexington. Unfortunately they've seemingly been on the decline regarding quality. My last 2 pies have been severely overcooked and burnt to a crisp on the bottom. Like black. They're on the higher side for pricing for a Large or XL pie, but they were our favorite and I didn't really mind. Like some other places they charge you for using a card on top of that rather than paying cash. You'll spend almost $30 for a Large cheese pizza for carry out. With the pizzas not being as good as they were the first few times we visited, we'll probably patron some other places. 2 stars cause I'm still hanging on to hope that this can become my go-to joint soon! read more

Come here pretty frequently. Closest thing to NY pizza in the area. Ordered from Uber eats. Ordered 3 large pizza all were noted to be very well done. Driver got there and between her arrival and departure was approximately 20+ minutes. Payed $100 for pizza and they were garbage ,nothing was well done about them, nothing was cooked properly, pizza was not even in a circle, and if you picked up a slice, the slice could not be held up , it was so limp while the cheese was falling off. Tried to call was put on hold for 5+ minutes and gave up. Horrible and to spend $100 on pizza, or to be exact $90 since $10 was for a tip, it was like a donation being made! read more

Great place!!! Pizza is amazing. Having the crust for breakfast. Had a great time and the owners, staff were full on southern hospitality. Only reason not five stars...watch your bar tab.
