Hands down the best pizza place in Newport, RI, and it is a true local staple with real - family owned - Newport history behind it. The crust has the perfect light crunch, the sauce tastes fresh and authentic, and every slice has a great balance of cheese to crust. The toppings are always fresh and flavorful without being greasy. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is clean and comfortable, and you can tell they care about their customers. This is a Newport classic I'll keep coming back to and recommend to everyone I know. I saw a negative review, but I'm honestly glad I ignored it and listened to the positive reviews instead. read more

As soon as I walked in I was astounded! The atmosphere is beautiful. On top of that, the waiters/waitresses were very kind, we were seated instantly, and food arrived quick! The food was freshly made and delicious --- 5 stars! read more

Very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Had a large party but the restaurant was not busy, had to wait over 45 min for a table. At that point we should have gone to another restaurant but we were willing to still give it a try. The food was subpar and one of the entrees came out after we finished eating so we did have one of our guests who was not able to eat with us. The server Chris did his best to accommodate and offered us a free dessert but the overall dine in experience was disappointing. The Italian restaurant next door to this called Sardella is a much better dine in experience and would recommend that option if you are in that area read more

We went to Nikolas Pizza based on a retail owner's recommendation. It was just the two of us but they did not give us pizza stand but they did for other people. Not sure what is about. We had the Horan's Four Cheese, it was good. Waitress was attentive enough. The places was nice. bathroom was small but still had enough room. It had some cute modernized games and juke box. read more

Third stop on an Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island, food fights, Lord of the pies excursion; my party and I sat down here mid afternoon on a bright sunny Sunday afternoon to try out their pizza which we got two cheeses. We found the sauce to be a little zesty than most places, and there was a good sampling of cheese on it, and the crust was mediocre. Not the best pizza place in Newport, but not the worst. Above average at best. The young waiter was attentive and helpful. read more

This is twice we've ordered takeout from this establishment. This time we picked it up. The staff were very friendly and it was nice inside. I liked the fact there was parking available. The pizza and wings were still so yummy. We added a house salad which was good and nicely packed for us. The chicken fingers were okay but my Aunt didn't care for the breading, we're good. We definitely enjoyed this pizzeria. read more

Caesar salad was good and fresh Chicken parmesan was ok, the meat and sauce was good, but a bit over fried. Came in on Wednesday and many dishes were 1/2 off. Everything here was less than $17 before tip At full price probably an overall 3 stars, but that was a good value so it gets 4 read more

Three friends on our way to a concert - we let the waitress know and she made sure we had our food on a timely basis. I had the fig/prosciutto/goat cheese calzone and the small one was very generous. Hot, melty cheese, lovely tender prosciutto, sweet fig preserve - delicious! Good prices, too. Noise level was fine - we could talk with ease and hear each other no problem. Parked right on the street for free at 6 to 7 pm on a Friday night, pretty good IMHO. We'll be back! read more

The worst pizza in Newport. Hands down. But, their grinders and entrees are just as bad. Flavorless. Low quality ingredients. We got takeout and it took 20 minutes longer than they told us. It felt like they started my order when I showed up. Don't waste your money. Please. We have so many better restaurants here. read more

Got the veal parm sandwich, very tender and filling. Service was very pleasant and quick

Had been a semi-regular (or last as much as an off-island person could go) but no more. Last time I went I called in an order, they confirmed the price name and everything and when I went to pick it up they supposedly had no record of it. Recognized the voice of the guy who took the order and he was laughing about it. With Checkers now an option, this place became an easy one to avoid. read more

Once we walked in, we were seated almost immediately. Our server was very kind to us, and getting our food and drinks were very quick. The overall atmosphere was nice with the tv playing some sports, the nice dim lights, and the paintings. As for the food, it was delicious. Also, when I was about to leave, I saw an arcade machine, and I played it a bit before we left. The arcade machine has a bunch of great classics, and for all a good price (25 cents for 1 game and 1 game has about 3 lives). Overall, would definitely come back here, definitely recommend if you are looking for a good pizza place. read more

The Winter special is a ripoff! I ordered large pie with 1/2 meat lovers and 1/2 Hawaiian. I was charged $31 when a meat lovers is $23. When I question the charge, the cashier explained the charge was $14 for the pie and half charge per pie for the toppings. I know it doesn't make sense! While she did offer to discount it, it felt like charity because I complained. The owner is at fault, I paid the bill. To top it off, the food quality is awful. The sausage tasted like fake meat. Worst sausage I have ever eaten. Better pizza at Domino's. This place sucks. Go next door and get a real Italian style wood oven pizza. read more

I would give it one star but the delivery was fast. We ordered since it was the only place open after 10 pm. We ordered chicken gyro.What we got was chicken tendered with French fries and a burnt pitta bread on top . (That's what they call a gyro!!!They need to reconsider how they describe food on their menu as what we received was nowhere near a gyro. Very dissatisfied as we really wanted to heat a gyro. read more

Bro, OK I know that New England doesn't do pizza well but holy cow. This was like a step up from a lunchable pizza. The crust was so thin. It was like literally eating like a cracker. It still tasted like pizza and like luckily I was stoned out of my mind so I still ate it, but I will never order pizza in this state ever again lol jersey in New York only. read more

We just had the best dining experience in Newport so far and I definitely recommend this establishment.Not only the pizza was half off on Tuesday but was also Pi day and the universe just made sure we discovered this place on our way to our hotel after we visited The Tennis International Hall of Fame.This place was clean with a really warm atmosphere,playing great music in the background and beautiful decorated for Saint Patrick's Day.Service was perfect,our waitress was great,super nice and friendly.Food was delicious,starting with the a really good portion of the garden Salad (a small side was big enough to share)spaghetti Alfredo with garlic bread for my daughter and a shrimp Pizza for me.Even the small pizza was too much for me and I was only able to eat half.This place it's a hidden gem. read more

Was in town a few weeks ago for work and found this place. Ended up coming back multiple times with co workers to enjoy this laid back and extremely inviting spot! Tiffany and Nicole were the best bartender/servers and made every visit a blast! Not to mention that the food was awesome! The pizza crust was exceptional! Highly recommend! read more

We absolutely loved this place. Just what we were craving. Pizza, antipasto salad and chicken parm were all great. It was not crowded but it was a cold December night. read more

Only a 2 because the staff was very friendly, but the food is simply not good. I personally don't like Greek-style pizza, and Nikolas' confirmed so. The major disappointment was the Greek salad w/ chicken, which I had high hopes for given the marketing of their heritage. The chicken portion was tiny, under seasoned, and not grilled hard enough (it was practically steamed in texture). Overall, it was an utterly hapless dish with no traditional flavoring or quality ingredients. I hate to ding a local spot, but its just not good. read more

Perfect late-night pizza. Not greasy; thin foldable crust. I'm pretty sure the shop gets inundated with the post-midnight bar crowd, but they were friendly & accommodating even with a shop full of patrons. Delicious pizza that was still great after taking it back to the hotel! read more

They have the worst excuse for a Philly Cheese Steak I've ever had! A lot of bread with a squeeze-dried tasteless meat portion--no seasoning, no onion, no pepper, nothing. It's a food crime for $17. Always open the box and check inside Before you pay!! read more

We ordered takeout - a NY style large pizza and Fish n Chips. Got it home to discover pizza was very small with an extremely thin crust, and overcooked. Wrong size, wrong style, cooked poorly. Fish was way overcooked, extremely dry, tasteless. Chips and slaw were passable. Worst part of this is we left a message TWICE on their "Contact us" box on their website letting them know privately of our displeasure, and were summarily ignored both times. Hard to believe, but NO response. I guess business must be so good they don't care, but hard to justify EVER going back and we WILL tell people of our experience. Bad food can be forgiven, but not bad manners. If "zero stars" was an option here, that would be the score given. read more

The garlic knots are amazing. Just for these alone I would give it a 4. They are baked to a crisp on the outside but when you bite in the inside is soft and fluffy. The combo textures of crispy and fluffy is what takes it over the top. They ate so mothered In a nice olive oil, garlic and cheese sauce. Very tasty I read a another review that said they had no flavor I assume that was some sort of off day. I had a gyro wich was very good. Nice thick pita bread plants of meat and tons on tsiki. The wife had a slice of cheese pizza wich was good. Nice ambiance inside and out. read more

Awful slow service took over an hour for one pizza rude staff refused to give me a receipt don't go save your money

Mistake! I've never ordered from this restaurant before. It may have been my mistake, but I ordered their Chicago style pizza. I assumed it was thin crust, because Chicago tends to be more thin crust, and it was not labeled. Instead, what I got was super thick, almost like they stuck the dough from two pizzas together. I paid for double toppings, and compared to the rest of the dough. They were very few toppings. I don't think I would order from them again. read more

The thin pizza is the reason we stop by Nikolas. It's pretty good. Best ever...no. But for the price, pretty nice. Service is decent and parking is possible (ha). It's consistent and when we can't think of anything else we drop by and are never disappointed. read more

Wondering why the manager couldn't help me get my money back. I've been waiting on Chris the owner to reach out. So I have been going to this establishment for years but they seem to be declining if I have to taste my takeout before I leave your restaurant there is a problem. Once again I got a meal so salty I couldn't even eat it. I'm not even that picky either. Sometimes a restaurant declines even if it's a long time favorite read more

Had wings for appetizers which were top-notch. I would go for the wings, because they were excellent. Had linguini and clams ($20 mind you) and didn't eat more than two bites. It tasted like hot water in a bowl with a can of clams dumped on top. Had zero flavor. Not even a sprinkle of parsley. No garlic. VERY bland. I love linguine and clams and have been eating it since I was a kid. This was awful. Meatball appetizers tasted soggy and the marina sauce watered down. No flavor. And the garlic bread was subpar. I've had grocery store garlic bread that tasted better. I guess this is a wings and pizza joint not a traditional Italian restaurant. Sorry just being honest. read more

Nikolas Pizza - Watered down zero flavor, linguini and clams!! Save your money!! - Pizza Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Nikolas Pizza is a literal godsend during the off-season in Newport when you have a craving for some hot and tasty grub at 1 AM, but nothing's open and you're too lazy to cook. We did just that after several hours of hemming and hawing over which restaurant to eat at, and by the time we settled in something, it was closed for the evening. Just our luck, right? However, Nikolas saved the day with some yummy (if kind of pricy) pizza slices and a giant Asian Chicken Sesame Salad that satiated our late night hanger. Granted, the pizza slices were massive (they were more like a quarter of a whole pizza than a simple slice), and generously topped with veggies, cheese, and barbecue chicken, and the salad was sizable and topped with fresh tasting chicken and a flavorful sesame glaze dressing. We decided not to imbibe, but they do have a full bar with wine and beer, as well as ample seating that's open during the day and early evening, plus bar seating so you can dine in into the wee hours. If you're coming to Newport and want decent late night food, Nikolas is the place to be! read more

Ordered take out from Nikolas Pizza on a rainy Friday night. They offer a wide variety of Greek and Italian dishes. We tried ordering online but their website appeared to be experiencing technical difficulties. The staff ensured they had prepared our order correctly before we left. Food was still hot by the time we brought it back. Would definitely order from Nikolas again! read more

I hate to make this review but I feel I have to we have been coming here for a long time and we always get the pizza and it has always been great never had a complaint so my wife and I decided to get something different because we had just had pizza a few days earlier so we decided to order and pick up the food and eat by the water only a few minutes down the road . First we called and asked if the fish and chips platter was a light batter or a thick beer batter the person on the phone said he didn't know and was gonna ask the chef after being on hold for minutes we hung up and called back someone else answered so we asked the same question and if it was different batter then the fish sandwich and all he said was it's the say fish so since he didn't answer our question we just ordered it anyway and also got a chicken cutlet sandwich when we got to the spot to eat we opened the container to see what looked life frozen chicken patty cut into strips and what looked to be frozen fish fillets that were so greasy we couldn't eat it! We feel that nothing is made in house or fresh read more
