The customer service was terrible on July 3rd, 2014. The girl working behind the counter was rude and declined our party 2 to-go boxes for 7 slices of pizza being split between 2 families. The carry out special with a box is 9.99 and we stayed in to eat and paid double the price which seems like that would cover the cost for us to take our leftovers home. On a side note, the pizza was great but until the girl behind the counter learns how to treat paying customers we won't go back to a place we frequent once a week. read more

This is definitely a few steps above the local pizza chains. Niki's puts out a good pie. The ingredients are fresh and the cheese is especially better that what you'd get at a fast food pizza joint. The crust doesn't have that typical NY style bite that you'd expect. So it was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for a crusty, flaky, and thick bready goodness, but it was more like eating a breadstick. Also, they are a bit cheap on the toppings, so ask for extra if you're a hearty eater. Service is friendly but don't come here expecting much of an ambience, it's pretty dry. Mostly, you will see customers who are waiting on a to-go order. The overall value is good. They have a large 3 topping special for $9.99 and 2 large two toppings for $17.99. Good neighborhood place for the price. read more

So, I'm just going to put this out there - pizza and I are pretty good friends. So, I sort of feel like it's my duty to go out and try all sorts of pizzas. Niki's is, well, right up there for thin - the pizza is quite tasty - the sauce is good - lots of flavor. I was a little surprised that they slice their sausage like pepperoni, rather than the usual sausage glob - but it was still a tasty treat. And FAST - they are super quick. And I've also tried the pasta - and it was truly more than I could eat at once. Total bonus - and it was good the next day too. Niki's earns 4 forks of delciousness! read more

This pizza is the best we've had in North Austin yet! A thin crust pizza I actually like! Ordered the white wonder pizza and a slice of pepperoni. The white wonder was fantastic!!! The pepperoni was good but very greasy. Will definitely take advantage of the $10 XL 3-topping deal next time though!! It's going to be hard to try the pastas and subs because the pizza is so good! read more

I enjoyed the pizza here with my family tonight! It was the best I have had in a while! It's thin crust but not a cripsy thin crust! This will be our Friday night pizza place for sure! I never been to NYC, but it's great as home slice pizza is Austin, TX! read more

Niki's Pizza - Large Pepperoni Pizza with Extra Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

*Food* The pizza is fantastic as is their garlic bread. They also have calzones, pasta, salad, and desserts. They sell pizza by the slice and usually have about 4-6 pizzas to choose from depending on when you get there. *Atmosphere* It has a NY deli/pizzeria vibe to it [fitting]. It's small with about 8 tables that seat 2 or 4 people. They have a TV against the back wall that is usually showing Football [Soccer]. *Service* Outside of the greeting you and handing you a pizza there isn't much service here. That being said the guys and gals behind the counter have always been friendly and courteous. *Price* Pretty cheap. I usually get the lunch special which is 2 large slices of pizza and a soft drink for 6 bucks. 1-2 pieces is going to fill most people up. 3 for you folks that tend to have a heavier appetite than most. *Overall* If you're in the North Austin area and want a quick bite to eat at a cheap price, definitely check this place out. read more

Good pizza, yummy cheesy garlic bread.....they very accommodating...I typically order pepperoni, black olive, spinach and garlic pizza, but decided to switch things up this time and got thei basil pesto pizza....but asked if they could add garlic and tomato...they did....and I might have a new go to pizza....it's DELICIOUS!!! my favorite pizza place for sure! read more

A place where they greet you with the warmth of a pizza oven. It was recommended by friends at work to try the place for great lunch specials, and appetite filling portions. So I did. Upon entering or leaving you cannot get around the cordial and sincere greeting from Niki. He will spend any spare moment he can to come from behind the counters and ovens to check with you and see "how are you doing." I was there with my friends, and my daughter in the early evening. We ordered the Calzones: Pepperoni & Jalapeno, Sausage, and Meatball. (also the standard cheese pizza for the little one) I will be the first to admit that I am not a Calzone fan, but wanted to try it since it seemed to be the recommended choice of the day. Our order was called, and our eyes were filled with the size of them. It seems that they took an 8-10 inch pizza with all the inclusions and folded it over in half! Puffed like a meat pastry of desire. (served on a pizza pan no doubt to the size of it) The home made tomato sauce, fresh grated cheese (they do NOT buy the stuff in a tub pre-grated), the meat, and the ricotta blended well. Cutting into it, it did not deflate as it was actually stuffed with your order. Surprisingly nice knowing it was not filled with air. All in all it was a good meal at a great price for about $6 per calzone! I preferred the Calzone crust; it was airy, fresh, and not flaky. Just a firm tasty crust that you can taste was tossed by hand and properly set to "rise" when they made it. My daughter enjoyed the pizza as well... and made a friend with Niki (so he passed the little girl test) This visit did not make me a Calzone fan (per say, it's just not my thing), but I would not turn one down if offered. Additionally, the great thing that I took away was the fact that I do want to go back and try more items on the menu. That is a plus for any business. As to Niki? Well the warmth of his joy and care for the customers makes me want to go back and just hang out with the man. And my daughter.... well she just likes "the pizza man." Thanks Niki! ( See you again soon when my diet allows me to) read more

See all

My go to joint for New York style pizza. I can't vouch for the other items on the menu, but the pizza is definitely above all the commercial chain stores and reminiscent of real New York flavor! They have great by the slice combo pricing and always have my order ready in a timely manner. read more

I love the PEOPLE here. The guy is so nice and friendly - and so, so great with kids. I seriously felt like he wanted us to have as much fun at lunch as we would at Disneyland. Inside, you kind of feel like you could be in a little shop on the streets of a bustling city even though you are in suburbia, which is and interesting change from everything else in strip-center land. Nice, but not in a 'this place is very well-decorated' way; more in a 'this place is different and that is kind of cool' way. Despite the friendly owner, I have to say that I didn't care for the pizza much. I may be biased because I am not a big thin-crust fan and probably I should have just ordered plain cheese and would have been happier. Instead I ordered spinach and garlic. I get this at another local place and it is fresh spinach leaves with fresh cut garlic. At Niki's, it was canned spinach. When you dump a can of spinach on a pizza that is already thins, it just turns into a heavy, watery mess. And while I don't dislike canned spinach, it isn't something I want on a pizza. Worth a try, great for kids, but stick to the basics there. read more

Note: If you order their $9.99 XL special using the $5 for $10 deal, it's another $4.35 in fees/tax. The pizza itself was decent. The XL is barely the size of a large at traditional pizza places. Plus it didn't have much sauce at all. I won't go back, but it's worth checking out if you live really close. read more

Authentic Italian and served hot! I've only tried the fettuccine Alfredo but it was good and came with some salty garlic buns. I feel they're a bit over priced and the service is just average, but this is the best Italian I've had in my area, way better than Carinos across the street. read more

Very bad first impression, and last. Saw this place when I visit freebirds, and decided to try it out for lunch since I was in the mood for pasta. I walked in, the guy in the front looked like he was high and very unprofessional. I ordered the cheese ravioli, and while I waited 15 minutes for it, I inspected the place and watched how the employees handled things. The place is simple, kinda dirty. The thing that turned me off was watching the guy handling cash and than handling the ready to serve pizza without washing his hands! The thing that really broke the camels back is I burnt my hand pulling the pasta out of the bag to eat it. The to go packaging didn't include any utensils or napkins, and NO WARNING that the plate is EXTREMELY hot. Please put a warning or use a plate that has some insulation. read more

Just go and enjoy! They are amazing, the owner and the core staff are wonderful! Product is amazing and reasonably priced! In fact, I'd suggest they increase their prices on the whole pies - feel like we're robbing them for an XL 3 topping pizza at only $10! AND #1 place for pro soccer matches!!!! read more

The bad customer service was so disappointing because I loved this place!! Now I'll never go again. We were down the street I called at 9:43 they close at ten. Me: hey is it too late to order a pie? Guy with bad attitude: if you can get here in ten minutes yes. Me: we are down the street driving to you, yes! Guy: ok so what do you want? Me: the 9.99 xl pie with.... Guy: that doesn't even exist! We have an xl for 10.99! Me: ok yeah i meant that one.... Guy: so what you want then Me: half cheese half meatball please Guy: meatball is an extra 2.50 you still want it? Me: yeah that's fine! Guy: name? Me: i tell him my boyfriends name. Guy: I had an order exactly the same as this one! Same name! No one came and picked up yesterday! Are you sure you are getting it?!!!!! Me: you know what man, we always eat in we were ordering to pick up for the first time just never mind. If he would have just said sorry too late that's cool we could have went on our merry way. But he threw a tantrum because he had to work until the time it closed! Say you close at 9:30 if you don't want to be there! 9:43 is not 10:00 and I asked politely!! Instead of being rude he could have had the pizza ready!! We have laughed and talked with the staff there. We have seen parts of the World Cup there just for 9 years later to be treated so disrespectfully and the immature behavior of an obviously grown man. There are so many better options in Austin with such nicer staffs. Save yourself the trouble and don't come here, it's like papa Murphy's but baked already. We usually get a whole one because their slices are old and cold from the early afternoon and they just put it back in the oven to warm it up. Don't waste your time at this location it leads to pure disappointment. read more

I have tried this place two times and didn't like it...both times. I love the garlic cheese bread though. They add SO much cheese. Maybe that's a New York thing but if I was eat any more of that pizza I would have been constipated for the rest of my life. If you like tons of cheese on your pizza, huge slices, flappy pizza...this is the place to go. I'll stick to my chain pizza places. read more

Great food, good people and awesome prices. Pizza by the slice option is available as well. Do check these guys out!

Service was great. Food was great. Pizza seemed to be a higher quality form of mall pizza--which I love! One complaint though: I thought my pizza toppings were few and far between even when I ordered double pepperoni. read more

For some reason they don't serve eggplant penne. Even though it on the menu. But sauce is Incredible for eggplant spaghetti.

They've gone down hill, called to make an order and they acted like they didn't know what Alfredo was when I've ordered it for the last year and then pretended not to hear me talking until I hung up. read more

Wow! I ordered a pizza to pick up after a long day at work. As I was driving to Nikis I thought that I'm going to waste money on some bland crappy pizza. I picked up the pizza and still thought it'd be basic. I got home, pulled a slice out, took a bite, and WOW it was the best pizza I ever had. I was amazed how delicious it was. My family was impressed. Even as a left over it was still amazing! Nikki's knows how to make pizza!!! read more

This is my favorite pizza joint in cedar park because the pizza is great and the family who runs the joint seems so nice every time ive been. I always tip them so they stay here read more

My family and I were out having a great night and wanted to end it with some yummy pizza. We were "greeted" with "is this to go" even though we still had 30 minutes until closing time. No available cheese slices so we had to order a medium cheese pizza. At first we felt bad so we left a tip on the check and thanked him several times. But the pizza was slapped together and rushed out with some areas of cheese barely melted. I asked for a few more minutes in the oven and the guy said "well it will be burned". I had to ask 3 more times! Then he said "so next time tell me you want it crispy" Guess what? It wasn't burned and nothing about this pizza was crispy. He didn't care and it showed in the pizza as well as the atmosphere! Horrible pizza (we are from the NY area so yeah we know NY pizza) and a very uncomfortable atmosphere with a guy who, in his own words, "just wanted to leave early". On a Saturday night!? Go ahead and go home everyone. Don't bother coming here. read more

Inconsistent at best. Last time I was there my calzone was great but my pizza was awful. This time I ordered a calzone and got a nearly empty dough fold-over. read more

There is no pizza like Nikis! I have never craved pizza like I crave Nikis. I could eat here everyday. Their combos are a great buy for the money. I mostly get the pizza here but the calzone, salad and meatball sub are also great. Pizza is served by the slice as well as whole. Love Love Love! Come to Nikis if your in the area. read more

This is a hidden gem of a lunchtime pizza joint...My office goes here all the time...they have great GIANT slices of NY style pizza, served really quickly. Great for a FAST & Inexpensive lunch....it's like $5 or so for 2 big slices and a drink...great value! Much Yum, so pizza, WOW read more

Been going here for years. Their pizza is delicious and the people working are all top notch. Their carry out special is a great deal for a killer pizza. read more

Great Margherita pizza! Quick delivery, too, through Doordash. Even my picky kid likes their food.

Very good pizza for the price. I always order the special. I've yet to try other items on their menu but will not hesitate to do so in the future. read more

Ordered a "philly cheesesteak" from here. You might want to take the "philly" part out. It is nothing like it at all, not greasy, didn't use American cheese or wiz wit and was very dry. The roll was horrible, would not recommend a "philly cheesesteak" from here. Born and raised in philly, i know what a real cheesesteak tastes like and it's nothing like this at all. read more

I am so impressed with this place! The food was excellent! Besides Home Slice,this is the best pizza place I've had in the Austin/Round Rock area. It's the perfect New York style pizza. Everything we had was so good-the baked ziti,the pizza,the cannolis! It was all wonderful and let's talk about reasonably priced!!! We got a XL-16 inch pizza for $10.59 and it was worth every penny. We will definitely be back here! read more

I love the pizza here! It really reminds me of home - I love the New York style, and could easily eat it everyday. The lunch combo - two slices and a soda - is a great deal. And there are always several kinds of slices to choose from. Fresh, hot, fast, delicious, nom, nom, nom!!! read more

They changed the place up, better more classic seating and layout, and way more pleasant happy people work there now. Happy to spend my money here read more

I was craving Eggplant Parmesan and Carinos which is across the street was out, so I tried it at Nikis...the portion is very large and it looked good but the taste bleh.no flavor at all, the eggplant was slimy and just not good. I do not recommend the eggplant parm from here, I should've just tried the pizza instead. read more
