    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!

    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.

    Cheese pizza burnt

    Ordered 2 cheesy garlic bread.. fantastic as usual. Also ordered a xl cheese pizza.. $26 for old,cold, burnt pizza is ridiculous. For a cheese pizza...$26 .

    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!

    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.

    Grandma Slice with meatballs

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Highly recommended!!!!!…read more Been here several times since moving to SC from NY. Definitely the best place we've found south of Brooklyn. Good is great and even more importantly, it's great consistently. The counter staff is always friendly and quick to get you your food. Everything is always spot on, including their homemade Italian ices. More importantly, those ices are available all year long. For anyone who knows good Italian ices, Cucinella's definitely compares to the likes of Marino's. This place has a great NYC pizza joint vibe. Simple yet awesome decor, my kinda music playing discretely in the background. Low enough to enjoy a conversation over lunch but loud enough to hear. Best of all, you can buy a pie (a pizza pie) whole or by the slice. If you're in the area, it would be worth your stopping in. Enjoy!!!

Keep in mind, NY style isn't even my favorite style, If the pizza is good, it's good. This was meh. I am being really generous with the three stars. It wasn't horrible. I had the cheese pizza because that's the way to tell how good the pizza is. The cheese tasted like Sysco bulk cheese. The sauce has almost no flavor. The crust was bland but not horrible. I think the frozen pizza from Kroger has more flavor. I thought I got covid again it was so bland. I hate to be so critical of a family owned business and I generally don't blast a place I am trying for the first time. The best thing I can say about this place is that they have a variety of toppings, though I didn't try them.

    So as I write this under Papa Gio's restaurant name, it is meant for the new Venezianlo's…read morerestaurant that's at this location. Interestingly the same thing I'm gonna describe below happened on more than one occasion when it was Papa Gio's too. I've been in Lexington, SC for a couple years now and I'm always on the hunt for the best. I've visited Papa Gio's quite a few times and Veneziano's a handful as well. The best way to describe both places is great food but inconsistent quality and presentation. Let me explain... I'm the guy who comes in, orders my food at the counter and waits in the restaurant for it. I want it hot and fresh. I don't call and order ahead because I don't want it soggy from steam rising up and dripping off the top of the container while it sits on a shelf waiting for pickup. There is a method to my (food) madness. The food at Papa Gio's and Veneziano's is absolutely incredible. Quality ingredients, everything is seasoned perfectly and clearly made with love. Incredible food, so why the lousy review you might ask? Keep reading! Inconsistency in the counter service and even in the presentation of the food. The people are always super nice but not very attentive or focused. On way too many occasions, like tonight I order, I pay and sit or stand there waiting and pfft... there I sit or stand and wait and wait and wait. Tonight was one of those nights, As I listened to the staff up front singing, laughing talking and generally having a good time. The energy there is incredible! Seems like a great crew of awesome people working together. Over the top. Again, why the lousy review? Because on way too many occasions my food comes out, someone sticks it on a shelf nobody at the counter says a word. It gets placed on a shelf and sits there getting cold and soggy from steam rising. One time not too long ago, what started off as a crispy toasted meatball parm hero became a cold, wet, soggy sponge by the time I got it. Tonight it was a pizza. I waited and waited, the counter was not very busy while I was there. The kid at the counter even commented that I came in at a good time, it just slowed down. After waiting and waiting, I walked up to the counter, there was nobody at the counter. Everyone was in the kitchen doing something else. Not too much time passed when the kid came back to the counter to help me. He realized I was the "waiting guy"! He turned and pulled my pizza off an open shelf and put the box on the counter and said it's been ready for a while. As I felt the cold box, I disappointedly commented about the pie being cold. I opened box and felt the cold pizza in the box, I mentioned to the kid that this sucks. Now one might ask how cold could the pizza actually be. Well, it's February and they had the pickup counter door front door wide open the whole time I was there with cold air streaming in. That combined with the open metal shelving and the time it sat definitely put the chill on. The kid offered to put back in the oven to heat it back up. While I appreciated the offer, if I wanted a reheated pie, I woulda bought this one yesterday and reheated it myself at home today. Many times, perfect food, perfectly cooked and placed in hand hot out of the kitchen. However, this exact same cold soggy food thing, with inattentive counter service has happened more times than I care to admit. Pretty lousy attention to customer service. Everything short of saying hey is my food ready, every couple minutes, which in my opinion should not have to be done and that is not the kinda guy I am. Many times, it is perfectly executed and they do a great job. But many other times once they get your money in the register, it seems they forget about you. On the upside, the pie tonight probably started out perfectly cooked and would have been a 10 out of 10 if it wasn't gummy and chewy from sitting in it's steamy cardboard box, needing to be reheated. I did my best to crisp it up while reheating it, Thanks for the offer to reheat my pie. Can you imagine for a second what it would have been like if I let him reheat it and what it would have been like if I had to reheat it again (that woulda been a third time) for leftovers later? Woulda had the taste of great pizza but the texture of a pool noodle. Great pizza and other great food is an art. At the same time, it's kinda simple. The chef made that pie with his hands, with quality ingredients, care and love! Letting it unnecessarily degrade, is a bit of a slap in the face to the pizza guy and to the waiting customer. Even my dogs know a good pie! They wait patiently for what we call "pizza bones", what normal people call the crust! Tasted great although the texture was not so good. Would I recommend them? Meh! Probably, but with a note of caution of the inconsistency. If you're still with me, thanks for caring enough to read this far. Happy eating!!!

    Had lunch here today with our neighbors. It was the first time for all of us. Nice quaint place…read morewith good atmosphere. We got there about 20 minutes after opening and sat in one of the booths. The waiter took our orders quickly and brought out our drinks. We ordered 3 personal pizzas and a steak and cheese sub. We had one plain cheese pizza, a Supreme personal pizza and a build your own personal pizza with pepperoni, onions and mushrooms. We also ordered one small Garden salad. 1 sweet tea, 2 waters and a diet coke. The salad was excellent. Crispy cold lettuce with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, two types of cheese and good croutons with ranch dressing. The steak and cheese sub came out and we were surprised when wee saw the bread. We were expecting a regular style hoagie bun or baguette type bun, but looked almost like a pita bread from the top. I asked the waiter what type of bread it was and he said they make their own bread. It was excellent. Looked like a naan bread almost. She ordered jalapeno's on it and it was excellent. Said she'd order it again. The pizzas were good. I had the supreme and the sausage was real good. We all agreed that the crust and cheese were very good. Two of us thought the sauce was different and must've had something it it, as they didn't rave over the sauce. I had the supreme and there were so many toppings that I didn't pay much attention to the sauce. Mine was very good. We were surprised that they only offer two sizes of pizzas...personal and large. Large is $24.95 and personals are around $14.95. They have a good selection of pizzas. Our one complaint was the pricing. They charge $2.00 for toppings and $3.00 got premier toppings. It's the same charge for either the personal or large pizzas. Our personal Cheese pizza (with no toppings) was $9.50. My personal Supreme pizza was $14.95 (which contained mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, bacon, black olives and green pepper) while my wife ordered just a personal pepperoni with onions ($2) and mushrooms ($3), totaling $15. Seems like they'd charge less for toppings on a personal size than on a large! My bill as $43.97 before the tip. Our neighbors bill for their pizza, sandwich and drink was $32.59 before tip. They were charged $4 for jalapeno's on the side and slices of tomato.
