Monday afternoon and we wanted a pizza. Walked into and sat at small bar...greeted by a young man named Tony. Very accommodating and pleasant. 4 of us had a few beers/ wine ...frosted glasses made it even better. Cheese sticks were crispy with a very good taste. Pepperoni pizza was tasty. A tad more dough for my liking but very flavorful with plenty of cheese and pepperoni. Overall a nice place with a decent pizza. Not many places that are as good in Newport. read more

We needed a quick bite and figured pizza would be an easy choice. The restaurant was almost empty, & we were seated right away. We ordered a large cheese pizza, wings, a bowl of soup, & two meat lover's slices. The wings and soup arrived within minutes, but then we waited over 30 minutes for the cheese pizza & another 15 minutes for the two slices. It made no sense, especially with how quiet the restaurant was. During that time, no one checked on us, apologized for the delay, or refilled drinks. The biggest surprise came with the bill. There was an automatic 20% gratuity added for our party of six (!). We've eaten at countless restaurants & have never been charged automatic gratuity for six people (esp with our party being 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids). We were also charged $1.50 for a side of ranch that was brought out with the wings without us requesting it, plus $3.50 each for soda water from the fountain. The pizza itself was actually quite tasty, but unfortunately the poor service , long wait and unexpected charges brought the experience down 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

I've been coming here for almost 15 years, and it seems like the vibe has changed. I ordered a beer and a razor pizza on an off hour. Everyone working there felt like they had been there for about three days. After I paid my check and finish the last sip of beer, someone came by with cleaning spray and said, "you done?" Every other table was open, so unfortunately, this is probably my last time there for a while. read more

"Tip in advance for PICKUP"+ on weak sauce pizza and a 4.5% upcharge for using a credit card to pay for an online order. NO other option to pay an advance order online than ccard so 4.5% is automatic upcharge. Next the "TIP"----I ordered pickup last week like SBUX the payment has an advance "TIP" on a pick-up order AND charging me 4.5% for ccard before I even get to taste the food or look at it. COVID is OVER. Pay your staff in the kitchen and stop with the "tip for pickup" it is soo annoying. I tip like crazy when I eat in or delivery..... but pickup?! STOP. This type of BS by fast food/pizza joints, diners, cafe's are forcing diner's back to Stop&Shop, Domino's, or Chili's or even high-end restaurants cuz they aren't much more than YOU! bc they offer VALUE which you no longer do. You forgot you were the cheap option for people--nothing more. Now you are expensive and mediocre= THE worst position. Same reason Starbucks is going to go under. If I can't taste my food/coffee FIRST, why on earth do you expect, earn or deserve a TIP from me "up front"? Esp when the food sucked, items missing, or timing is off. YOU should pay ME A TIP BACK when I pay in advance, and the food or service sucked. See how it feels right? Ordered a large cheese(really the size of a medium)pizza. It had a paper thin layer of cheese and just a slight touch of sauce on it. Literally a piece of cooked dough. If I did tip I woulda been piiiissssed. A $5 Newman's Own frozen pizza is HALF THE COST of your 4.5% upcharge and "adv tip for pickup" ALONE! and it easily crushed this Nikolas dough pie. I despise Domino's/chains but they have ya beat now. Lastly, at pickup the cashier stares at the receipt when you pick it up to ensure "you know they know you" didn't "tip-FOR pickup". I hate to know what happens back there to our food when we don't "tip for pay in advance- pickup" orders. Yeah I am not going there. But thankfully I won't know again. 20 years going and that is DEF my last trip. **Advice to consumers-CALL the pickup order in and pay when you get there. They will still stare at you for not tipping on a pickup order but at least your food is not effed up(or worse). Oh and if you do tip on advance pickup orders and the food sucks get your damn tip and your $$ back from the cashier/cook cuz they are glad to take/keep your $ even for extra bad food/svc. read more

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

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

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

Broke down and ordered a pizza last night-- even knowing that the pizzas are small and high priced. Toppings were so incredibly expensive (3.50 each? For even onions and olives?) that it made sense to order a specialty pizza versus one with multiple toppings. Ordered the ultimate for 27.50, when I picked it up, it was well over $30. Apparently they charge a 3% credit card fee did not occur to me to dispute it when I left because I use my debit card. It's against the lawn Rhode Island to charge a credit card fee to anybody paying with cash or with a debit card so basically when they're charging people who pay cash or with debit cards, their pocketing that 3% that was never out-of-pocket for them to begin with Pizza was mediocre at best and not even true Greek style. The large is more like a 14 inch at best. Clearly, this place continues to capitalize on kids leaving the bars or tourists. Don't fall for the trap like I did-- never again. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

This spot is a home run. With half price entrees, apps and pizzas on Thursday and half priced pizzas Tuesday and Wednesday, you can't go wrong! The meatballs are right up there with the fine Italian restaurants in the area, if not better. The pizza (the ONLY place on the island to have a whole-wheat crust option) is very solid as well, as are other selections we've tried. The eggplant parmesan (pictured), while oily and thicker than I prefer, was very tasty. The meat sauce is perfect and reminds me of my nana's (the marinara, on the other hand, is great for those who like oregano in their sauce). All of this, along with great prices and a friendly manager (and servers), make this place earn their 5 stars! 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

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

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

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

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

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
