Niki's is still our go to. Best pizza in our area by our standard. Great hand tossed crust-half with cheese, pepperoni, and black & green olives . Other half of pizza =breakfast bacon-crumbled, fresh tomatoes and green olives. Red pizza sauce over entire pizza. They definitely don't skimp on the toppings -pizza is very nicely covered. Good amount of cheese too. There are several new pizza places in Cedar Park and Leander but we really enjoy the family owned and operated small town feel of Niki's. If you are out this way give it a try!! read more

Came here for lunch. It's kind of confusing since they have two doors and I entered through the dining room. The prices are pretty good as there are not very many places you can get lunch for under $8 with a drink. I got two slices of pizza. The pizza was OK - very thin and kind of NY style so you have to fold it up. Just i think the crust just needed something extra and the toppings needs more flavor. I will probably try the other italian dishes next time. read more

Good food and good folks. I highly recommend Nikki's and have been using them for years.

It's delicious. You should go. Or order in. We have had the gyro wrap, mozzarella sticks, pizza (huge slices) that has a flavor like being somewhere else :) The meatball sub, tasty tiramisu and cannoli are also recommended. We look forward to having them all over again and trying the rest of the menu. Great personal service. Cozy spot. read more

I had the best ever Chicken Salad served at Nikis Pizza. It's fresh romaine lettuce with a mouth watering marinated Chicken. It's thinned out and warm. Not cold and preserved. The dressing is the best along with a pita bread on the side. Omg, it's the perfect salad. Not old ,lame, nor unappealing. It's what a salad should be, a delicacy in your mouth. I highly recommend it. read more

Damn good pizza! Has a pepperoni, sausage and bell peppers pizza. I'll definitely have it again.

We decided to go out and get pizza somewhat close to home. This place is in a small strip center next to a Jimmy John's sub shop next-door. I read through many of the reviews prior to coming here and what no one mentioned was the fact they do not serve any alcoholic beverages. They do have some fountain drink choices, but that's about it. We got here on a Friday evening at 6 PM and were surprised that we were the only customers in the place which meant all the tables and the floor were clean. There's no table service here, you order at the counter. They do have some premade pizza pies in a glass case ready to go if you want a slice and a salad. Our group of four decided on the butcher pizza, sausage mushroom, pepperoni calzone and two gyro sandwiches. The calzone was much larger than expected, and the pizza was generously filled with toppings. The gyros were pretty average, but the greek salad was fresh and crisp. To be honest, the food exceeded expectations for what we paid. The fare was good enough that it would probably have us coming back again or at least getting a pizza to go.

Niki's Pizza - Med half jalapeño, pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

I lived by Niki's for a few years and never tried it because the building looks like a fast food place, and I never gave it a chance. It wasn't until I moved that I discovered how amazing the food is there. The BEST NY style pizza anywhere. Their Chicken Niki's is awesome and the gorgonzola chicken is magically decadent. They are very nice and it feels like the family place that it is. Forever a fan!!! read more

We love Niki's! They are soooo kind and treat everyone like family. They are affordable, friendly, and delicious! We make sure to go every time we go to Mt. Playmore! read more

Passing through Austin and decided to stop at Niki's Pizza. What a great surprise. The atmosphere was relaxing and the service was fast and friendly. I had a slice of cheese pizza and it was very good; simple with a tasty crust & cornmeal covering on the bottom, which I love. It's hard to find a place that serves good pizza by the slice anymore. They have a diverse menu offering pizza & Italian & Greek dishes. I would definitely come here again and highly recommend it. And - to top it off, the gentleman at the counter asked if it was my first time, and it was, and he gave me the slice of pizza and a drink 'on the house.' Who does that anymore!! If you live near this place - come here. If you don't come - anyway. You'll enjoy it. read more

I am half Italian and half Scottish, and grew up on my Mama's and Nonna's homemade Italian food. Niki's reminds me of that. They make everything homemade with fresh ingredients. The folks here are friendly and truly care about your business and satisfaction with the food. It is also extremely reasonably priced, even in these times! I also love Greek food, and they do this wonderfully as well! There is a reason Niki's is one of the few restaurants to survive the pandemic. I love their take out pizza, as well. The dough is homemade, and when I ordered a Margherita pizza, they did it just like my family made it-simple but healthy ingredients: fresh basil, fresh round sliced tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella (not processed), a little salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. It was absolutely perfect! Thank you, folks at Niki's! I am lucky such a great place is so close to my house, too! Jeanna (Johnston) Thompson Food: 5 read more

This place is amazing! The pizza is so good! And the prices are even better! 1000% recommend this place!

Great take out deal! XLarge pizza for $13.99. They have white sauce which is always a crowd pleaser. Their crust is soft and yummy and the pepperoni is the best around! read more

Very pleased. Stopped to get out of the rain and found this gem. Hidden in a plaza he wanted pizza and I had the Greek. My meal was the comfort food I needed. The roast was perfection along with the flavors of the veggies and rice. read more

We went to Niki's when we had a family vacation in the area. We really enjoyed the pizza and the fried cheese. The salad was a little disappointing, but completely edible. We took it to go, so I really can't speak to the atmosphere all that much but the counter service was great and they were able to help us out. read more

My favorite pizza in Austin. Their pepperoni is just perfect. Truly New York style. Staff is always friendly and efficient.

Still good pizza with great pricing. 16" Extra large 2 toppings pizza for $10.99? Sign me up! You can also get pizza by the slice and they are decent sized. Wifey, a new yorker, approves. So far it's been the only pizza place in Austin she approves for NY style so that should say something! We love their Eggplant or Chicken Parmigiana! The sauce is yummy and one order is good for 2 meals! Glad to have this place so close to us. read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch and I was pleasantly impressed when I walked in. Everything was very clean and inviting. I was greeted immediately by a gentleman behind the counter. He was very helpful when I told him it was my first time here. I ordered the lunch special two slices and a fountain drink. The pizza was tasty and RC cola was a surprise. I haven't had that since I was a kid. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Thanks Adam! Damn good pizza! The 'Minnesota' McNeil connection. I can't wait to try more menu suggestions. read more

Stopped in for a slice and was given what tasted like cardboard & days old pizza! Disappointing & no reason for it since it was dinner hours. The female was very professionally friendly tho- I would've returned it if it was worth the drive back :/ read more

Buttery crust and delicious toppings, this place is an instant favorite. Recommended to me by a friend, I took advantage of the To-Go special (2-toppings on a 16" XL for $11; I got extra cheese and green peppers), and it was literally love at first bite. Today I got the same pie with extra cheese and green peppers as well as their BBQ chicken pizza. Blown away all over again. Would definitely recommend. read more

I got this delivered, and the food was pretty good. Delivery was faster than expected, which is always nice. In the app they don't really tell you the ingredients, so my friend got unexpected mushrooms in his Philly Cheesesteak. He said had he known he would've requested it without. He prefers just meat and cheese. I got a mushroom and cheese calzone; I think there were less mushrooms in my meal than his. That being said, it was really good! I couldn't finish it, as the portion was big, but it was well cooked and full of cheesy goodness. It was still good when I ate the rest for lunch the next day. I'd be willing to try something else another time. read more

I ordered a slice while I waited for my pizza to go it was hot, so hot I almost burned my tongue. It was well worth it. read more

Niki's Pizza - Slice almost as big as the plate. - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Woohoo! Another "close to" New York style pizza--and I don't have to fight 40 minutes of traffic to get there! It's only a few miles away, so about 20 minutes. Sigh. Oh, Austin. But I digress. Apparently this is the second Niki's, because each time I call to order they ask me if I know which one I'm calling. Yup, I do, and I'm so happy you're located where you are! In fact, en route home from the airport after a business trip, I directed the husband to make a detour so I could grab our dinner. You may I think I sound dramatic, but when you hail from the northeast and love its pizza, you are deeply saddened and perpetually frustrated by the ATX pizza scene. If you've had good NY style pizza, I don't have to explain it. For those who have never tasted this divine food from the gods, I'll try to describe it: thin, but chewy not crunchy crust, slightly sweet sauce, a little greasy, and loads of cheese. Ahhh...my mouth is watering. Niki's does it pretty well and said that many customers have told them so. IMO the crust is not quite doughy enough and the sauce could use a pinch of sugar. Otherwise, I'm happy. Darn close to the real thing and the pizza is still warm when I get it home. I've also had their gyros. Now they are perfect. And, maybe $6. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I could eat two in one sitting. They are THAT good. Two areas they could improve: once we ordered a pie with...meatballs, I believe. There were way too few of them on there. Though, admittedly, Niki's pizza is VERY inexpensive. $10 I think? Next time, I'll simply ask for double toppings and still come out way ahead. The other is their Greek salad. Woefully lacking in every way. Okay, I'm done. Made myself hungry! read more

Pizza Crawl #3: ordered a plain cheese pizza and it was satisfying. But the dough was not as fermented as would be ideal so it lacked flavor and chew. Cheese and sauce were savory. Would eat again if I'm a pinch but not a fav. read more

Just moved to Austin. Originally from bk, NY. Been living in Texas though for 5 years. To keep this short and to the point, right under Homeslice, this is by FAR the best pizza place I've ever come across. They say "NY STYLE PIZZA" And it's TRUE! I really feel like I'm in a NY pizzeria when I'm eating here. Delicious hot fresh pizza that holds up and doesn't flop, great prices and fast and friendly staff. My new go-to spot close to home for pizza, though I have yet to try the pasta which I will. A large cheese pizza is only 10.25! Steal! Great lunch specials too. If you're around, DO eat here if you appreciate a great slice of pizza. Updated Review::: Decided to try the pasta tonight. I gotta say.. I'm dissapointed :( I got the lasagna and a small Cesar salad. It was bland.. tasteless. Hardly any ricotta at all. Salad was fresh though, just Ok. Bf's chicken parm sandwich was also sad.. wasn't much in there at all. Very bland n boring I wish I didn't have to be so harsh but yeah. Just sticking to the pizza for now. Pizzas still great. UPDATE: Got a large pizza today with pepperoni and meatball. Meatball tasted old n for $2.50 there was hardly any... dissapointed in that. Also the pizza didn't hold up.. it completely flopped over. Idk Wth happened but I'm dissapointed... wasn't really great. 8/9/2020: ordered the cheese ravioli and a cheese and pepperoni Stromboli today. It was stuffed with cheese and pretty good although it looked nothing like the picture they have from the owner on here. The ravioli was Ok. A little Bland but a decent meal. It was cooked very well Though nice and al dente. read more

If this location off Center Ridge isn't featured in Austin Eater, it ought to be. I've been coming here for well over a decade now and I've never been disappointed. 'Mom & Pop' feel with familiar faces behind the counter, Niki's Pizza at Center Ridge is a must stop, whether it's for a quick slice or a hand tossed pie. They have a decent carryout option as well, and I certainly recommend it over anything the major chains offer. read more

We've ordered from Niki's for years and they've been pretty reliable with tasty thin crust pizza. The people are super friendly and we like supporting this local business. 4 stars because the last few pizzas we ordered just haven't been as good as they have been historically. We have hopes things will get better and intend to keep ordering. read more

An interesting place that is either hit or miss depending on my mood and cravings. I haven't had their pizza, so I can't speak to that. I usually order a pasta when I come here, and am always unsure of how I feel. If you're a typical American brat like me, who grew up on Olive Garden and Fazoli's, the pasta here is going to taste very.... off. I don't know if that's how authentic Italian-style pasta is supposed to taste. But it is extremely heavy sauce, without the accompanying almost-umami-like flavour. The result is that most of the time I feel like I'm just eating raw carbs and fats without any flavour. Which, being pasta, that might actually be true. Service is great and speedy. Portion sizes are huge. The fellows working there are generally cordial and helpful. But I just am not quite sure about the taste... read more

This is an a little hole in the wall kind of place but the food was delicious! I got a 12" personal pizza and had a few slices left to take home. The crust on it was thin and actually crispy! And he was generous with the toppings. Definitely recommend. read more

Pizza was great but due to delivery time just cold... But the cheese bread is not good, it's an oversized hotdog bun with garlic salt and cheese. Crust has good flavor and was cooked to good consistency, not stingy with toppings, toppings are good quality and cheese was good along with just enough! Maybe next time we will try pasta, different appetizers or other options. read more

Very good N. Y. style pie, sold by the slice or whole, yes I did the obligatory fold, I snarfed two slices, one pepperoni and jalapeno ( nice heat to this one!) and one pepperoni and 'shroom, came wit' a large fountain drink ( didn't see any tea) for the measly sum of $5.99. My wife had and shared a plate of baked ziti wit' a salad, a drink and rolls, this went for $6.99, we don't normally partake of this many carbs, but today was a fun exception. Not a very big place and not fancy, but the food was good and at a good price. Next time i'll try a gyro.... read more

I used to love Nikki's. Unfortunately this particular location has gone down as far as their quality. Not much cheese on the cheese pizzas, the calzone and stromboli have shrunk and the fried mushrooms are dangerous grease bombs that burned my mouth after waiting almost 10 min to eat them. I bit into one and it was just a ball of hot oil. The crust was just soaked in oil. I think they sat in oil until the oil was hot enough to fry them. It was gross. I ate two and threw the rest away. Never again. read more
