Since the original owners sold this location it has really gone downhill. The original Nitza's owners still operate the location in Sherwood Park (last I checked). Prices have gone up, service has gone down, and I don't know why but our orders consistently are missing an ingredient when we order a 2-3 ingredient pizza, that's a bummer. We now prefer Red Swan for pizza in St. Albert. read more

Their product is wayyyyyy overpriced! 2 Large for 2 toppings is about $36 which is 12" inches only. compared to other pizza store most Large size is 16". Placed an ordered in advance for pick up, but they only made 1 pizza. I have to wait for 7 minutes for the other one. Store ambiance is okay but nothing special. read more

First time trying. Was very happy with the speed and quality. Can't beat the 2for1 price point. Had the donair (apparently the most popular by far) and the tropical pig. Crust was good. read more

Nitza's Pizza - Donair Pizza - Pizza Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

It was the worst meatlovers poutine I've ever had. Will not order from them again. Is it new ownership? If it is they need a lesson in cooking.Never had a problem last year. read more

Best donair pizza. Fast delivery. Reliable. Fresh toppings. I love nitzas because it is reliable, fast, consistent and delicious. I have ordered here so many times in a bind starving at work and they have delivered us pizza within 30 minutes. Their delivery service is outstanding and they are always on time! Toppings are always fresh and plentiful. Crust is crunchy. Dough holds well despite the plentiful toppings. They make a wide variety of pizzas and I have been lucky to try most of them (generous doctors). But my favourite by far is the donair pizza with extra sauce. Its outstanding and I almost cant resist it if I drive by this place bc its that's good. It sounds weird but it works. I have gotten the whole sturgeon hospital addicted to this pizza. Nobody ordered it until I did at a nursing event...and now it's a must order whenever nurses want pizza. Try it. You wont be disappointed! read more

The donair here are not very good. the size is fine but the cheese tastes strange and the donair sauce, if you get any at all, doesn't taste like donair sauce. it tastes like garlic mayo. the lettuce is very soggy and wilted and the tomatoes were not fresh either. the pizzas are not what they used to be under the original owners standards. like most restaurants now a days, the modern franchise buyers buy a place and water down the quality so bad it becomes apparent that going elsewhere for food is ideal. avoid if you are undecided. just avoid. it's consistently bad here. read more

Wonder where the previous staff has gone? They used to greet you as you walked in, smile and offer kiddos a small slush or pop for free. You could sit down, watch a game while they prepared your order. Went in last week and no longer giving kiddos slushes, no smile. They'll take your order and you can go. Seems like they have a large number of staff in the back. Their fries don't seem to have the same seasoning. They used to be a large part of this community but don't seem to be as much now. I miss the previous owners. They were excellent and the family/company that's taken over for them would do well to remember Peter and what he gave to the community as the community def remembers. "Here are some marketing strategies Fuller and Giannakopoulus came up with: all-you-can-eat salad, pizza and wings for teams and large parties at $10/person (likely $20 would work nowadays) free slushes and fountain pop (no purchase necessary) free pizza days for elementary and junior high schools printing 30,000 coupons of free pizza and slush/fountain pop for elementary and junior high schools free tours and a self-made pizza on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. donating money to the Stollery Children's Hospital" "You have to give to receive. Get involved with the community and let them know who you are. That earns you respect and loyalty, and in the end these are factors that keep people coming back." It sure does. I hope to see Nitzas for 30 more years. Alot of folks don't go here anymore when I mention this restaurant. Try what used to work as it likely would still work. Peter hasn't owned this location for a long time but the things he did were loved by the community. read more

not the quality I'm used to getting at Nitza's Ueed to absolutely love Nitza's St. Albert, it was just pizza, crust, toppings all lacking read more

A great family owned and operated pizzeria - with a splash of donairs, pasta, and slushes. The current owner took over the business after his father passed away. The pizzeria is very involved in their local community with sponsorships of various volunteer events. My brother-in-law took us there. We were a family of three adults and five kids. The interior was pretty basic but you can tell they are used to accommodating big groups so we easily had seating room amongst the table and chairs. Seemed like an ideal place to have a sports team outing. All pizza are 2 for 1 and very affordable. So it's a good deal. We had a Donair and a Vegetarian's Nightmare pizza. The kids received slushes as well. The pizza crust was good - moist, crunchy, and tasty. The donair pizza was unique - good helping of meat and a LOT of their homemade donair sauce. The Vegetarian Nightmare was loaded with meat - but didn't feel excessively greasy. The owner was very friendly and the staff extremely accommodating - helping out with hot sauce, parm, and chilli flake extras. Next time you are thinking about ordering from Pizza Hut or Panago, I would recommend giving these guys a try. We love supporting locally owned and operated businesses - and will definitely be back. Five stars as a recommendation for you to try it. read more

Nitza's Pizza - Nitza's pizza - Pizza Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

I thought I would never order from Nitzas Pizza again due to their failing quality, I used to be a usual customer. A special came in the mail today and I ordered with 1 extra topping, for 1$, she put me in hold for 3 minutes. She finally told me $40.50. I said again, to her I ordered a #1 special for $24.95 plus 1 extra topping, she put me on hold for 20ish secs then said it will cost $27.95. I said perfect. 40 mins later the greatdriver gave me the bill for $31.00. I said sorry can't except another price difference. I called Nitzas and a guy answered, after the introduction i asked why the price increase, i will not accept this, the 'GUY' hung up on me. Like didn't give a F___! So never again, regardless of price, as you may not get it! read more

Quite simply - Nitza's is my go-to. Their calamari is superb, dipped in a lovely tzatziki sauce - hits the spot every time. I always get the ceasar salad - one order is enough for two people and more. Since I can never make up my mind, I usually get the wings and pizza - just means I don't have to worry about lunch the next day. No waiting for 2-for-1 Tuesdays - their 2-for-1 pizza is everyday. The pizzas at Nitza's are sturdy - substantial crust - not overly thick - but solid and can easily hold whatever toppings you have piled on. Personally, I like a pizza that doesn't fold in half half way to my mouth. The chicken ranch is particularly good, in my opinion. I usually order pick-up or delivery. The staff are always friendly - but they go over and beyond for me these days. I'm a bit compromised walking with a cane just now and when I picked up my last order - they carried my food out to my car and put it on the seat for me. COVID safe and all. That's great service. And, as always when you pick-up from Nitza's, I appreciate that they always offer me one of their epic lime slushies - on the house. With delivery - they are fast, they food is hot, and they get my order right. On all accounts - 5 stars - well deserved. read more

We ordered the 2 for 1 pizza deal this weekend and got the donair and the mushroom, pepperoni pizzas. We used to love Nitza's as it is local but unfortunately the toppings on the pizza were practically non-existent leaving everyone to be hungry after their usual two pieces. Considering the pizza market is a highly competitive segment, you would assume Nitza's would look at their local competitors, such as Socrates, and keep their pizzas well made with a fair amount of high quality ingredients. I get things are tough right now due to COVID, however, I also think reducing the quality and quantity of your food does more harm to a brand long term. Will not be returning anytime soon. read more

I'm sorry but I this was the worst food ever! Got 2 for 1 lasagna & 2 for 1 ?loaded donair. Lasagna - very little meat sauce & it was tasteless. Just noodles with a few tbsps of sauce. Donair - ordered loaded. Had lots of meat but only a few little pieces of tomato & couldn't see much else other than overflowing with some sweet drippy sauce. I was trying to order from local restaurants but I don't want to chance another one where I'm wasting money! I had good expectations. I don't like leaving bad reviews but ... read more

Well this place is highly recommended overall for a reason. From my limited experience and reviewing the previous Yelper's comments I am going to say that: 1) Stopping in and ordering is way more effective than delivery. 2) Great for kids...substitute your toppings and not a lot of grief. 3) There is no silly topping combination which makes my heart warm. 4) Eat it hot and love it even more 5) This is a long standing business in St. A and deserves a try! read more

Amazing pizza at a reasonable price. If we are getting pizza this is where we get it from. Plus the people there are awesome. They always remember us by name and chat with us when we come in. I definitely recommend this place to anyone That asks. read more

I have fond memories of walking to Nitza's at lunch in high school... And now that I'm back in town, it was one of the first places I needed to check out. I've gotten delivery a couple of times now and haven't had any issues with order accuracy yet. It's always very fast as well. I love how cheesy their pizzas are. I recently got to introduce my co-workers to Nitza's and everyone was pretty impressed!! read more

To be honest I have never set foot in the place but have eaten there pizza a tons of times thanks to my husband who is on pick up duty. But beside that I have to say these guys make a damn fine pizza. Of all the pies of tried I have to say the donair pizza is by far my favourite. It is loaded with donair meat mushroom and topped with fresh tomatoes. But the best part is how they literally drown the pizza in their sweet creamy donair sauce. It is just so freakin fantastic. Yum yum yum. They basically have an option for anyone, including those with allergies. I kid you not they even have a vegetarian option that is cheese less and can be made on a gluten free crust. Other options I love are the Tropicana pie. And my kids absolutely love their cheese pizza. Little Caesars got nothing on this place. Anyway now that I've written this I know what I'm having for dinner. Haha read more

The food is second to none but the likelihood of having your order delivered correctly, the first time, is a crapshoot at best. If you can pick up, you're good to go and you get a free slush. Their hot wings are exceptional especially if you eat them fresh and if your wife lets you have any. And I don't normally like hot wings. Our hot wings rarely make the drive home intact. Expect to pay a little more here than your average pizza joint. Support local and give them a try but I highly recommend picking up your order. read more

Ordered pizza and Greek salad for delivery. Driver did not have the Greek salad with him. Pizza was luke warm. Called back and was told 20 minutes for them to deliver the forgotten salad. 1 hour later, still no salad. Called back and told it was on the way. It finally arrived about 15 minutes later. They did comp us a 2 litre pop. Very disappointing! read more

I ordered their 3 for 1 pizza, one just cheese, another donair and another beef & mushroom. (3 for 1 comes with 2 toppings) The lady said , so just donair meat & sauce on the pizza? I asked her to add tomatoes. She told me she can't do that, I said well the cheese pizza doesn't have any toppings. she said cheese is considered a topping (really??? It's not considered a topping on the others) I asked her to put the one topping from the cheese to the donair pizza. Can't do that she said - if she did it for me, she'd have to do it for everyone. Yes - that's called good customer service. I let it go. Pizza arrives for my kid's after school pizza party. Terrible experience. Pizza was okay - not great. You read more

This is the best pizza in St.Albert after moving away for a year I can honestly say I missed it so much!

The guy was working the till and hand pressing the pizza dough without first washing his hands. I just read an article on the widespread ADHD in recent years, and here's an extract that I quote: "Avoid all paper receipts. Most have BPA or BPS (bisphenol S); they have the same effect. You don't absorb BPA/BPS through the skin. However, if you get it on your hands and then touch your mouth or food--bingo! -- you get 1,000 times the dose that you'd get from food or drink packaged in plastic." My understanding of why they are popular is because they buy customers by giving relatively tiny sums of money for the publicity they get, to Bellerose School, as seen on photos on their wall. So it seems the students of Bellerose and their friends and family patronise this place and pay a hefty price for it! Makes me wonder what the ADHD numbers are at Bellerose. read more

Ordered from here getting two pizzas, one donair and one of the chicken pizzas. They took down the wrong address and phone number for me. After an hour of no pizza, I called them and they told me "the driver said there was a dog so he didn't deliver the pizza" . He had went to the wrong house, and they never called me. They remade the pizzas (I think, because it took another hour to finally deliver them, more than 2 hours total) and the pizzas were not that good. I was starving at this point so I ate some, and ended up throwing out the rest because when I tried to reheat it later it tasted disgusting too me. They didn't offer me any discounts or barely even apologized for being over 2 hours late delivering the pizza. Years ago I really liked their donair pizza, this recent (sept 2017) experience was one of the worst I have ever had for pizza. Will not be ordering pizza from them ever again. read more

The donair pizza is delicious, and I love the people working there! Even if I buy just one pizza, they give all four of my kids a slushee. How nice is that? Not much on ambiance, but I'm getting the pie to go, anyway. Nitza's is always our first choice for pizza! read more

We've lived in St. Albert over 30 yrs. We have bought Nitza's pizza since it opened. We always pick up, and the pizzas and donairs are always superb. I'm sure if you order delivery there's an extra chance for a mix up, but for us Nitza's is the place. Highly recommended. read more

I love this place. First off it has always been a great place for an after bar pizza. On top of that I learned it is a great place for a pizza any night. Also they are good and slamming together a bunch of pies for big occasions. If you want a pizza that isnt from a big named pizza joint give Nitzas a try. read more

Has had 2 for 1 forever and it ate my 2 dollars 1 time I was SO exited to get my MUSHY from the 2$ machine but it ate my money and I'm fricken pissed read more

Must be under new management! Service has declined significantly! Ordered a donair by phone for pickup. Was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Arrived 10 minutes after ordering. Paid for the donair. Waited another 15 minutes. Still not ready. Asked when it would be ready and the person looked at me like I had offended him by asking when my donair would be ready. Told him to keep the donair and my money and left. They have my phone # and have not reached out to rectify. Very poor service and a very scuzzy looking environment. Will definitely not be giving them anymore of my business! Used to be a great place for pizza, wings or donairs. Guess this is what happens when new management doesn't get it. Would give - stars for this experience if I could. read more

They give away 'free slices' to kids for reading. But you can only get them from 6-7PM. It sends a bad message. Either keep the 'free slices' to yourself Nitza or offer them whenever the kids show up. Are you trying to build some brand loyalty by buying customers? It's a good idea but when you can't deliver on ONE slice for a kid, that's pretty sick. Step up your game or stop the BS. I've eaten here, but I don't see why I wouldn't just go to Boston Pizza or Pappa Johns (much better for the same price). Plus, PIZZA GUY, WASH YOUR HANDS DUDE!! Other than that, I guess I would go here if I had no other choice (thankfully that's not the case as St. Albert has a good selection). read more

Was house-sitting in St. Albert and our original plan for dinner had fallen through, so I looked online for a decent pizza place that delivers, and Nitza's kept coming up, so we decided to try it. They do a 2-for-1 which is awesome, but like the other review said, their pizza sizes are misleading (M = 10", L = 12", XL = 14" - they should really just rename them S, M, L). We ordered a 'special pepperoni' pizza (special pepperoni sausage (which when I asked, turned out to be the same as their regular pepperoni), asiago, green peppers, mushrooms), and a donair pizza (donair beef, mushrooms, onions, fresh tomato slices, slathered with donair sauce) since it seems to come highly recommended from many other reviewers. Both come with mozzarella as well. I asked if they have a garlic dipping sauce but they only had tzatziki, so I ordered that as a side. The lady on the phone was really nice and actually called me back to clarify if I had wanted the tzatziki sauce on the whole pizza, half, or the side. Delivery took the shorter end of the 30-45 minutes that she had told me, which was great. The crust is a regular crust (not thin, but not super thick either), not fantastic but held up the toppings well. I couldn't identify any asiago cheese on the special pepperoni pizza, but it was was still tasty - lots of large slices of pepperoni, real sliced and cooked mushrooms, and cubed green pepper that was neither under nor overcooked. And the cheese was melted just the way I like it - a little bit brown on the edges (I dislike undercooked pizza, where the mozzarella looks white and barely melted - although I find that with better quality pizzas, the cheese can be white and still melted and gooey). The donair pizza was completely slathered in a white, sweet donair sauce, and had a fresh tomato slice on each slice of pizza. The beef was tasty and the onions tasted like they had been caramelized (which I love). Didn't notice the mushrooms? Overall a tasty pizza but there wasn't as much donair beef as expected. The tzatziki sauce was excellent - thick, fresh and creamy with dill in it. Total came to around $37 - I think the 2-for-1 pizzas were $32 each, and the tzatziki was $2 and there was another $2 service charge. Enough food for dinner for two and leftovers for both our lunches the next day. They do accept credit cards. I'd be interested in trying out their other Greek offerings due to the tzatziki being so good! read more

Been a family staple for as long as I can remember. Always good pizza made fresh and quickly.

Nitzas was a family favorite since I was a kid- since the new owners took over a few years ago it has been awful. Every single time I have ordered delivery it has been over an hour and 45 minutes to come (once was 2 hrs and ten mins on a Wednesday and the pizza clearly had been sitting under a heat lamp the entire time- completely dried out and disgusting). Owner offered to "get hs next time" and the next time I called they refused to honor it and said they have nothing there. Out of the last six orders, five times my order has come completely wrong. Another important note is that the pizza there is not even subpar anymore- always cold and old tasting. Will never eat here again... read more

Do NOT rely on this place to open after bar. They close early even with paying customers. Do not bother to go here

It's Saturday night and 2:00 am. Your body needs something and it won't just be satisfied by "regular" food. What could it be? You stumble out of some hip bar off of Whyte Avenue and jump into the good ole' wagon. Setting your sights north and raising your fist high, you drive. You drive long and hard. It's in your sights and in your smells. Out of the wagon and in through the doors. You make your order, pay your bill, and grab a slushie. This place is what your body wants. This place will satisfy your late night cravings. read more

I ordered fries with seasoning salt to be delivered and the delivery man didn't even know how to split a bill with my two friends, furthermore, what was given to me as "fries" we're soggy potato slices that seemed as if they were never cooked as well as a complete lack of seasoning salt. If you're considering ordering fries I recommend Mc. Donald's because unlike nitzas their food quality is somewhat consistent. read more

Nitza's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - St Albert, Alberta

This is the best pizza in town. They have great selection and the delivery is quick. I have ordered pizza from places all over St. Albert but Nitza's is consistently great and my husband, who doesn't even like pizza, enjoys it as well. The Donaire pizza is great and we love the Tropicana (with spinach instead of pineapples). They are great about substitutions and their delivery time is quick. Any guests who come to our house and try it fall in love with the pizza. read more

Ordered from here a few nights ago and the donairs had no toppings?! I asked for loaded and only got meat and sauce.

Oh Nitzas you are an institution in St Albert. Even way before I lived here I came for pizza or after a night at the crown you were there for me. Our company in Edmonton would drive out for pizza if we needed some for overtime employees. All in all you are amazing. The prices arent bad and the food is great! read more

order- two super donairs -phone order taker polite, easy to order -delivery guy was fast and nice -donairs could use a little more "stuff" (tomato) but they were really very good and I'm picky about donairs -value good (but the bill confused me..lol) complaint..when you send donairs to anyone especially a motel, send napkins!! I want to try this place again. read more
