For many years now Papa Nicks has consistently served great pizza, pasta, and cold beer! I love their Eggplant Parmesan. A great local place that we all need to support.

The staff was very friendly. We tried a few things. The pizza was a medium white pizza with sausage on half. Not that good. The dough tasted like it was a couple days old and was soggy had no taste. And for $18 it should be good. The Zita with meat Sauce was good but was watery. The cheese ravioli in pink sauce was good. We never received bread with our dinner and it said bread served with dinners. Another table was complaining about that too. It was a Thursday night at dinner time and it wasn’t busy

We were looking for a new option for dinner tonight and google pointed us to Papa Nick’s Pasta & Pizza. We would never have found this spot on our own; it was fantastic. Pretty sure the French fries were hand cut. Healthy portion, hearty cuts and perfectly seasoned and cooked. Typically we don’t do meatballs on our pizza but the boss-lady was feeling it tonight and the universe smiled on us. They cut up their homemade meatballs for use in the pizza. We also had onions and fresh cut mushroom. So good. The crust was different than all of the typical Chicago/New York style. It was a little more formed, not quite so floury, but yet a great taste. Service was friendly and attentive. Great first experience.

The Fruitville Rd. location is a favorite of ours, even before when they were in the old fast food location on Beneva Rd.

Enjoy eating here, friendly staff and generally great food. Kids like drawing directly on the paper table covers. Food is hot and fast. Prices are reasonable. Their homemade bread was delicious. The house dressing they serve with salads was outstanding! The only reason I have a 4 star vs 5 star, is the interior needs a little help. The ceiling tiles have multiple water spots, the decor is dated, and it seems like everything could use a thorough deep cleaning. Our table was so uneven and rocking I had to jigger-rig a leveler out of paper menus to make so our kids didn’t rock the table.

waitresses even spoke Italian so I was excepting this to be authentic or at least decent. Got a small pizza and it was literally microwaveable crust. Tasted like something I’d buy frozen at Walmart, waitresses were kind though. Sorry to say pretty much everything I ate was mediocre at best.

This is a super cute place to eat but out off 4 orders 3 were wrong and our drinks were very empty before being replaced. My partner asked for no mushrooms on his pizza and it was full of them. My friend asked for Alfredo and got marinara sauce, then I asked for extra olives on my salad and got three. So the food was good but wrong.

Server never brought my daughter the crayons she said she would. No refill on the bread, oversalted Mediterranean pasta.
