Little Nicky's New York Pizza

You can tell this is a family own and ran restaurant in the best way. The staff was friendly and not just the super lovely girl that took our order and brought our pizza but the guy that was making the pizza was super friendly. It has a few tables inside but it’s hot from making all the pies and a couple tables for 4 outside but it should not stop you from giving this pizza a try if you like a great New York/Connecticut pizza it’s worth a try but be prepared it’s a huge pizza and you should not leave without a homemade dessert that rivals most of the top bakeries in Knox.

When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the staff who were friendly with a good sense of humor. We had the stuffed shells, spaghetti, pizza, and a cannoli. All of the food came out hot and as my son said “it was tasty”! He had the stuffed shells and cannoli and I had the spaghetti. We all shared the pizza and I concurred the food was delicious and would go back again! Thank you Little Nicky’s for the hospitality and delicious food!

Our order arrived about two hours after we placed it—roughly an hour later than the estimated delivery time. Unfortunately, the pizza box was so soggy it had folded in half, causing the cheese to slide off the pizza. The breading on the chicken Parmesan was also burnt. The flavor as well is just not it. Tastes like skating rink pizza. Originally from South Jersey and will continue to stick with Jaboni’s. No, not being a food snob either. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially after such a long wait.

Alex was holding down the fort Wednesday and he had some delicious chicken bacon ranch pizza ready for me at 11:00am when he opened for lunch that I had put a in a special request for on Tuesday. He did great operating the restaurant alone and made me one of my favorite pies that was so good it almost tasted like Nick had made it. I went back today (Friday) for lunch and Nick prepared a great chicken bacon ranch pizza again. I’m still on the fence whether it or the Brooklyn Bomber meat pizza is the best. They are pretty reasonably priced, especially given how amazing their food is.

Popped in to pick up a pie today. Got to meet Chef Scott. I was amazed watching him hold the fort down while Nick and Dina made their way back to Knoxville. He was keeping up like a champ! What a doll he is!! So personable and just an all around nice guy. Pizza was amazing!! As always, it’s hot and fresh!! Thank you guys for your amazing goodness that you share with us. Also, if you haven’t had the Bacon Chicken Ranch yet, HOLY SMOKES!!! Get it! You’ll thank me later 😉

Stopped by Little Nicky’s and had a great experience. The food was fresh, Scott was super friendly and very down to earth, great guy. Everything came out quickly and you can tell they care about quality. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone looking for great pizza and Italian food

Was my second time in this business and unfortunately we will not be back.
Arrived at 12:30 for the 2 cheese slice lunch special/ drink. It was not busy. There was not any cheese pizza ready so we were charged 2 extra dollars for the specialty slices because its all they had up and we didnt have time to go anywhere else. Its advertised as 8.99- he said its 2$ extra but somehow it came out to 14$. Pizza was given to us cold after the employee grabbed it with his bare hands. I paid 14$ for two pieces of cold/stiff pizza. I honestly feel robbed. Man working was nice but he was alone so we had to wait awhile to pay for our food. Anyone on a scheduled lunch break shouldn't expect to be served quickly here. Just an overall bad experience with efficiency and food quality. All I wanted was a hot slice of cheese pizza.

Came here for lunch today with my friend, fella was alone and was super nice, but unfortunately the only pizza that was available was 2 speciality’s that made the meal go up 2 extra dollars , not a big deal but when you really just wanted a classic pep it’s kinda sucky, also the pizza was served barely at room temp, it was not hot or seemed remotely fresh, the chicken bacon ranch was flavorless and tasted like dry pizza dough, the buffalo sauce was the only thing that made the other slice taste decent, we was the only people being served at the moment so not sure why the quality of the pizza was so poor, and unfortunately makes it very hard to want to come back as I am given a time slot for a lunch break, really disappointed. 15$ later could have bought a whole pizza.

Absolutely fantastic, authentic NY pizza! Deserts are phenomenal. Scott and the family are amazing people. So glad we were able to visit and enjoy them and their food. Will definitely be back when we come back to Knoxville!

Well 1 star food experience 2 slices of cheesecake to go for 25 bucks is kinda wild but not unheard of I figured this was fixing to be my new fav cheesecake spot plot twist …. It was/is not
Strawberry crunch cheesecake the only flavor was freezer burnt
Biscoff cheesecake a little better but still lots of freezer burnt taste
My wife even comfirmed when we spat it out into the trash can
They of course offered to make it right ! But just feel like an honest review is worth more than my 25 bucks nice employees working here though

🍕 Oh my great God, I don't even like pizza and now I love pizza. On top of that if you talk to the people that work there, they're just as good and sweet and nice as the pizza definitely go here. Forget all other pizza joints. Period 100/100 🍕

So good! We visited Italy a few weeks ago and were really craving some Italian pastries. I saw that Little Nicky's had the famous lobster tail pastries and knew we had to try them.
After a hot day at the Lavender Festival, we stopped in. First off, we were immediately greeted so warmly by the guy slinging pies in the back. Great, friendly service.
The lobster tail was crispy and the cream and raspberry filling, amazing. We also got a slice of pepperoni pizza each and damn... Get two slices. Get a whole pizza. Their sauce is amazing, really makes the pie sing!

The delivery was an hour late. The pizza was burnt, pepperoni was on the Hawaiian pizza instead of ham, and the salad did not have all the vegetables that were advertised on the website.
