We had a wonderful Friday pizza night with the family. Kids had cheese and adults had pepperoni and veggie pizzas. The place is nice and the staff are very pleasant. It was our first time and it is best to order online ahead. We ordered online and arrived 2 hours after ordering, when pizzas were ready. We will definitely be back! read more

Another day, another pie was ordered. Pictured are the only 2 slices left after we devoured a large pepperoni in 10 minutes lol. Nick's is the real deal! There was a $4 price bump, but still worth it IMO. Their dough is like nothing else and is always cooked perfectly. The flavor is on point! I never get sick of it! Top 3 favorite Za in the Bay for sure. read more

I recently had the pleasure to stop by Nick's Pizza for lunch and it did not disappoint. The employees made me feel welcomed and provide me with suggestions on what their best seller was. We ordered the classic pepperoni and each slice was baked perfectly with that golden crust. The pizza was bursting with flavor as I took each bite. We also purchased a chocolate chip cookie and it smelled amazing. The warm chocolate chip melts in your mouth. One thing I like about Nick's pizza is their use of high quality ingredients and it's locally sourced. It's a slice of heaven making you want to keep going back. read more

Sweetest staff. Cutest patio. And most delicious pizza - but also the sourdough olive loaf grab a cookie if you can too!

Yummmm! Finally went for the first time and picked up a few pizzas for my friends family and me. The crust was awesome - I don't think I've ever had sourdough pizza before. Would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Nicks Pizza , the heirloom bacon Gorgonzola slice was okay. The peach scone and cheese scone are tasty. The service left a lot to be desired. Repeating my order four times and still being incorrect made me feel less than served. The parking is nonexistent. The locals must love Nick's and or accept the service I would entertain trying again . read more

I grabbed a slice of veggie pizza and a savory pesto bun here recently for lunch. It was alright, not the best flavor combinations. I'd try something different if i came back. read more

Great thin and yummy flavors I had the pesto potato - out side eating only so take out is best on a cold day read more

My new favorite spot for pizza!! This place is INCREDIBLE. Sourdough pizza is the way to go if you don't want to feel that lethargic bloat after a meal. Maybe i was hungry, but i easily finished half the pizza myself. I loved that the pizza base was thin but crispy. Also love that they have seasonal specials (on top of their regular pizzas). I tried their seasonal special (the peaches and prosciutto one) and it was divine. I would 200% come back again and make this my go-to for pizza. Controversial thought: I think it's better than sliver or cheeseboard combined! read more

We got this a month ago and it was AWESOME! Got a pizza last night, and it was horrible! Hardly any cheese, barely any sausage, the veggies were shriveled up and crusty and it was COLD. We were really bummed, cause it was so good before. And it usually is. Not what you want when you get a $50 pizza. read more

WOW. I'm a simple girl and when it comes to pizza, the basic the better. We got the white pie and boy did it smell good. How did it taste? Amazing. The sourdough crust was crispy , not greasy, and soft but a sturdy foundation for the topping. Easy on the sauce and right amount of cheese. I had three slices but could've gone for 4-5 but had to make room for dessert. The strawberry cake (which is similar to Bakesale Betty) was delicious! It would be selfish of me to keep this place a secret but sharing the love because mi pizza su pizza. Definitely coming back. read more

I love Nicks Period what else to say Which I could easily make last minute orders. That's my only beef. read more

Everyday I look up Nick's is expanding! Went from a pizzeria to now a pizzeria/bakery with cookies, bagels and scones. Love the unique sourdough pizza. The menu changes biweekly, but you'd be lucky to catch the Tarte Flambee if it's that time of the menu. Sweet caramelized onions, with goat cheese and bacon is always just what the doctor ordered. What's really cool is Nick's has slices to go and salads. Also there's always a vegetarian option other than just plain ol cheese on the menu. They're always closed on Mondays, limited seating both indoor and outdoor. read more

I really like having Nick's in the neighborhood - a great spot to get my carb fix. I must admit I haven't had their pizza in a while, but I probably go every 1-2 weeks in the mornings to get scones and bagels. I enjoyed my chocolate cherry scone the other day (haven't had that from them before!). I also like their bacon cheddar scones, although I didn't enjoy it as much last time so I haven't gotten it in a while. I was pretty unhappy with my bagels this past Sunday. I switch on and off between Nick's and Boichik because Nick's are cheaper and usually pretty good, albeit very variable in size and shape (sometimes they're tiny, sometimes they're really fat). But last Sunday all 6 of the bagels I bought were way too chewy - maybe overbaked? My jaw hurt after eating one. They were basically inedible on day two. One of the bagels was really flat. I was pretty disappointed :( I will still continue going and will try the bagels again someday - hopefully they're better next time! read more

I read that they did a vegan slice, but when I went in and asked, the counter guy said that there are no vegan options.

Great pizza. Nice people. Good to takeout but also kind of a cool patio if one wants to eat there.

Every pizza I've had at nicks is amazing and I love the creative ones he rotates out seasonally. But seriously don't overlook the pastries, especially the scones!!! So freaking good and those rotate seasonally too I especially love their vegetarian options The staff is always so friendly and I appreciate that everyone still wear masks and they have free ones for when I NEED pizza and forget mine and they pay employees to stay home when they're sick which should be the standard in food service... They also do a lot of community outreach and events. Our family looooves Nicks pizza and are so happy to have them in the community! read more

Nick's Pizza is straight Everything he and the team puts out is delicious and high quality. The breakfast is also great, lots of options, can't go wrong with bagel sandwiches and the tasty add ons, the baked goods always hit too . The cold brew is great to kickstart your day. The pizza is phenomenal and they rotate different combinations that are unique. Haven't had a new combo there I didn't like and I always get an extra pepperoni slice because it hits. Their sandwiches and salads are super solid as well, you can't go wrong. The ranch is unique, at first I wasn't sure, now I'm addicted to it. It's more of a liquidity texture then standard American store bought ranch, is super fresh, perfectly garlicky, compliments any slice. There's also have a few desserts that are super good, don't miss those. The restaurant is super clean, the patio is huge. I live down the street and have been countless times, it's 100% consistent in quality, cleanliness and quick friendly service. I've seen how Nick runs the place, he cares about the team and community, he often puts on events and even fundraisers for orgs. This to me is an added plus that makes me feel good about supporting the restaurant. It's 5 stars for me every time. read more

Dog owners unite! Another walk up window that makes it easy to grab a bite with the pup in tow. I tried their plain bagel with cream cheese and lemon berry scone. The bagel itself was SO fresh and fluffy! You can see from the photo the cream cheese was a little on the thin side and thus the cream cheese to bread ratio was a little off IMO. The scone was super yummy, a bit doughy and under baked in the middle but honestly, I still ate both items within two hours. I'll be back to try their pizza by the slice! read more

If I could, I'd eat Nick's Olive and Herb pizza everyday! Pizzas are delicious, that crust especially, as are the other baked goods and bagels! Staff are always so friendly, and it's simply such a cool spot in North Oakland. read more

I was craving something to eat on the go, and something local. Enter Nick's Pizza. Small and quaint, just the way I like my restaurants. Did a phone order, and the food was ready a little bit after they said it would be, which is good because I wanted my pizza fresh out the oven. The staff was also super friendly. FOOD: Nick's Pick pie. This thing is serious. Sourdough crust, fired up to perfection. Crispy bottoms, fluffy interiors, with great flavors. Every ingredient on this had something to say and was great. A blend of savory, bitter, tangy, lightly sweet; it all came together quite well. Fresh arugula and cheese were great. My girlfriend and I were supposed to share this with some of our friends, but we ended up eating the entire thing, which the last few bites were difficult to get down. Highly recommended. Onion bread. Decided to splurge and get some of their bread and was not disappointed. Soft, and flavorful. Could've eaten the whole thing by itself, but obviously works well with olive oil. I love small local places like this and I can't wait until the next time I can splurge and get another one of these pies. See you there. read more

Nick's - Always a reliable go-to place that I frequent. Its not just a pizzeria, but they offer their own lemonades, coffees, cheesecakes, as well as a variety of baked goods besides pizza. On a given day they have the standards such as cheese, mushroom, or pepperoni, but also they have 2 or 3 specials as well. Pepperoni Pizza - 5 stars - What can you say, a standard done very well. Pepperoni was flavorful. Crust was perfect - not too hard or soft. I dont see how you can improve this unless you go creative and crazy at which you cant really call it a Pepperoni Pizza. Olive and Herb Pizza (Castlevetrano and Kalamata Olives, Caramelized Onions, Fresh Herbs) - 5 stars. I think my favorite part about this is the abundance of the sweet onions paired with the saltiness of the olives. It works really well against each other. Artichoke and Smoked Mozzarella Pizza (Marinated Artichoke Hearts with Red Onion, Fresno Peppers, and Smoked Mozzarella) - 4 stars - everything tasted fresh, really recommended for artichoke fans. My only personal wish was for double the amount of artichoke. But maybe I had been spoiled by Artichoke Pizza. Cinnamon Roll - 4 stars - very delicious, almost perfect. I would like to give it 5 stars. Lemon Bar - 5 stars - a jam packed bar of butter and lemon goodness. Its quite thick and rich tasting. Japanese sweet potato Pizza - 5 stars - Had this several times in the past, its a very unique item, mixing the sweetness of the potato with the rest of the savory pizza cheese tastes. My favorite pizza here! Its hard to compare Nick's Pizza with other local favorites such as Cheeseboard or Arizmendi because Nick's is slightly different in that its pizzas are slightly thicker, and therefore the sourdough is more prounounced - although not overbearing. read more

I finally had a chance to try out Nick's Pizza after a few years of living in Berkeley. I ordered online to celebrate the end of the first full week of 2021 (we all needed it...) and got a 16" sausage and rapini and and a 12" Japanese sweet potato. The order estimate was quite long (100+ minutes at 5:30pm) but that was my fault for not planning ahead earlier--you can schedule an order ahead of time online. Overall pickup experience was so-so only because the order was 30min late and had to wait outside until 7:45pm. It sounds like that night they were especially slammed due to a sudden uptick of orders--it happens, so I won't harp too much on that. The staff was still courteous and apologetic and moving as quickly as they could. As far as the pizza goes, Nick's definitely has its own distinct style (to which they call it "Oakland style" themselves). The crust is a little chewier, and it is sourdough. The pizza is also a lot less "heavy": I demolished five and a half slices of the sausage rapini. I probably would attribute it to the lack of greasiness--even after the meal, the box was noticeably absent of grease from underneath the pizza box. My s/o did remark that while the Japanese sweet potato pizza was really tasty, it could've used a bit more cheese--she's also used to more East Coast style pizza. The sausage rapini itself had a nice balance of spicy, sweet, and bitter between the sausage, rapini, chili flakes, and caramelized onions. Overall, very solid pizza--definitely wouldn't mind having Nick's Pizza again! read more

Finally made it here . I got pizza and bagels. Delicious pizza. I just felt like it needed a bit more sauce. Will pick up a whole pie next time. Hope they have bialy's. Love them and miss them. I am from the east coast and those are my favorite. I made a bacon egg and cheese on a toasted plain bagel. The other a sesame bagel with cream cheese. Both were delicious. read more

I love everything about Nick's Pizza. I'd been driving past it for a while and finally stopped in a few months ago. The pizza is great. It is a thin crust pizza (the best kind!) and the toppings are full of flavor. I haven't had a bad slice yet. I haven't had a meh slice yet. It is so much more than a pizza joint. They make some of the best sourdough bread I've had. I drive out of my way to get their bread. I am a former baker so I like to think I know something about baked goods. They also make sandwiches and deli salads which I haven't tried yet. There is a lot more there than meets the eye. Be sure to check the menu for things not readily visible. Best of all, it is a friendly and inclusive space. What's not to love? My new favorite spot for fresh, quick, quality food. Thank you Nick! read more

Came by for lunch, I got myself a pepperoni small. It was alright. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. I just wish they had a Hawaiian option. Will be coming back for lunch again. read more

Honestly the best pizza!! And their seasonal pizza menu in this fall/winter time has some unique flavors . Their baguettes and olive sourdough is a weekly affair I've truly eaten so many good meals thanks to the bread here and the owner and staff are amazing people! 10/10 read more

Solid pizza. Of the Oakland places I've tried so far probably not my personal favorite but could tell its still good quality. We got the pepperoni and the sausage with peppers. We preferred the sausage with peppers bc of the spicy ness but it was almost a bit too spicy for me. read more

My favorite pizza place in Oakland! They really know how to make a fantastic sourdough crust and they have such a great variety of red and white pizzas! Everyone working there is so friendly and we've never had to wait too long for a pie to come out. My husband and I love grabbing a pie and enjoying it in their outdoor area, or we'll order from the website for pick up for a night in. You can't go wrong with Nick's! read more

Our favorite local spot for pizza, bread, and sandwiches. Handmade bread is used for all their sandwiches and really makes things unique. Their artichoke and olive sourdough is divine. They also offer vegan pizzas which is perfect since I'm lactose intolerant. Service is fantastic. Always fast, always responsive, and when mistakes happen, always courteous and quick to remedy. The feel of the place is very intimate, people are making pizzas right next to you and you feel like you're in a Cali version of a New York deli. read more

I mainly go here for the bagels and pastries, which I love. Coffee is not my fave but still drinkable and it's convenient to grab a cup with my bagel. I've gotten pizza here a few time and found the meat slices a bit greasy but the vegetarian slices have all been delish. It's a nice neighborhood joint and there's a good amount of outdoor seating. Counter service has always been friendly when I've been there. I hope more Oakland businesses explore the co-op model, it seems to be working well here. read more

This was once a 5 star place when it came to bagels. Apparently now an afterthought only available on weekends. The hours have always been a problem and they moved from 5 days a week making bagel sammies, only until 11am, now to only 2 days. Pizza is great but there are lots of pizza places and it is easier to make them at home. Sad really, this was once my go to for bagel n lox classic, I told everyone about it. Shame. Closed for Mothers Day and Fathers day. I went 6 last times to be turned away for one reason or another (closed, new hrs, or no bagels) This one really hurt. Its not the quality, it is the lack of availability, the inability to form a habit. read more

This was my first time trying sourdough pizza and it did not disappoint! My friend and I tried the Popeye and Combo pizzas. The Popeye was our favorite - it was truly unique! The lemon was super fresh and zesty and the walnuts were nice and crunchy. I'm a sucker for a lotta ricotta and this pizza delivered. Yum. The classic was tasty in a more traditional way, but I'd recommend the Popeye if you want to try something a little more funky! The date salad was a game changer. The dates were big, plump, and crazy flavorful. Plus toasted hazelnuts and champagne vinaigrette? Sign me up. Nick's was pretty crowded on a Friday night and running behind schedule. I'd read reviews about slowdowns on weekend evenings, and arrived about a half hour after my pick up time. My order was ready and we hit the road! read more

I wouldn't return to this restaurant. The slice was soggy and tasteless. The service was curt and disinterested. We had a question about gluten free crust for my wife that has a celiac diagnosis. I was called the "p" word and laughed at by a person in the kitchen. I'll make sure I share this experience with anyone who recommends this place going forward. ;) read more

You can't get anymore hole in the wall then this spot. With only a few tables inside, a great spot to get a pie to go. They have a bunch of whole pizzas and most have slices available. I got the pepperoni and spinach, garlic and mushroom slices. Decent sized and tasted good. Thin slices. $2.50 per slice Service was good, order at the counter and took a few mins to be ready. read more

Great pizza. Excellent service. Varied menu. Eat and stroll down college Avenue. You will surely enjoy.
