★★★★★ – Absolutely Amazing Pizza and a Local Gem

Nina’s Pizza is hands down one of the best pizza spots I’ve ever been to — and I don’t say that lightly. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place has heart. It’s not just another chain; it’s a cozy, welcoming, family-run place that clearly takes pride in everything they serve.

The food? Incredible.
The pizza is next-level. The crust is that perfect balance between crispy on the outside and soft, chewy on the inside. You can tell it’s made fresh, not some frozen nonsense. The sauce is flavorful and just the right amount of tangy, and the cheese… wow. It’s gooey, perfectly melted, and doesn’t feel greasy or overwhelming. Whether you’re a plain cheese kind of person or like to pile on the toppings (try the pepperoni and sausage combo!), every slice is satisfying from start to finish.

They also offer garlic knots, wings, salads, and a few pasta dishes — and everything I’ve tried has been solid. The garlic knots are soft, buttery, and addictive. The wings are crispy and packed with flavor. It’s clear that quality ingredients are a top priority here.

The staff and service? Super friendly.
Everyone working there is always kind, patient, and genuinely seems to care about your experience. Even when they’re busy, they’re efficient and polite, which really makes a difference. The place is clean and well-kept, and there’s a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to come back.

Prices? Totally fair.
For the quality of food you’re getting, the prices are more than reasonable. You get generous portions and never feel like you’re overpaying.

Final thoughts:
Nina’s Pizza is a must-visit if you’re anywhere nearby. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice after school, picking up dinner for the family, or just craving something really good, this is the spot. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to — and tell everyone you know about. Five stars, easily. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We placed an order on Sunday the 4th of May for pick up right as they opened up. We were told a half hour. We left our house and arrived 10 minutes early. The place was booming! The employees were wonderful. They had seven other pizzas along with ours coming out of the ovens. Fantastic place!!!

The customer is wrong always and Nina

I order tonight for a pizza six garlic knots and a dinner. I asked what kind of pasta they said they had it got home 18 miles away and it was the wrong pasta I called and they told me there’s nothing they could do not even give me my money back or absolutely make it right the next day, that’s unexcused behavior and customer service when you’re paying $53 for dinner and a pizza and six garlic knots. They should make it right unfortunately they did not attitude and the owner herself was very disrespectful. I’m just telling you right now. Read the menu carefully cause when they tell you chicken cutlets it’s not , it’s cut up chicken like you’re not even getting a whole cutlet you’re better off going to Bella Michael’s or Pizza Land at least you know you’re getting what you pay for you’re getting a good Italian meal

The food quality was great, really delicious!
The overall experience though, is what made our decision to not order dinner from Nina's in the future, unless there are certain changes made.

We've ordered dinners from Sal's in the past because of their quality, portion size, and price. Unfortunately they aren't offering dinner entrées at this time, so we decided to order from Nina's.

The reason for my 3 (preferably 2.5) star rating is this - the portion size in relation to the price was ridiculous. We ordered the Chicken Marsala entrée, and it was just shy of $27 altogether. When I saw the food in the container once my husband brought it home, disappointment settled in real quick. It all came down to portion size and what was paid for this amount.

The linguine layered with chicken on top literally filled the container about an inch high. There was a good inch above it that was just empty space.

I'm aware of how you need to make a profit to keep your restaurant up and running. I'm also aware, like most businesses do, that you likely order your ingredients in bulk, including your to-go containers and take out bags, which means it's really costing you less in the long run, making it more easily sustainable to earn your profits.

I am a mom of 3 who often cooks homemade meals for my family, so I'm aware of the current inflation. We are ALL experiencing it. I don't have the space or money to buy in bulk, so it costs me about $30 to $35 at most when I prepare a chicken or beef dish that'll also include pasta and veggies. These are meals that are made to feed at least 5 people, and there are usually leftovers.

That being said, why did we have to pay almost the same price for a meal that can't even feed two people?

Bottom line, we needed more linguine. It does not cost that much at all, we know that and you should know that. It's also a great filler. We may not have been as upset having a similar amount of chicken and marsala sauce if you had only filled the container with more pasta. The fact we ended up having to cook additional pasta ourselves in order for tonights dinner to make sense, defeated the point of ordering out.

Please think on this. You DO make great food, but $18 would have made more sense than what we paid for, with how much was received.
