It was good, but expensive, and I have had better. We got three pizzas. A cheese, white pie, and a house special, and it was over $90 after tip. The cheese was tasty, but had very little cheese on it. The white pie was sweet and bland which is weird for a white pie. Can't say I would come back with other available choices.

A Slice of New York in Knoxville: Little Nicky's New York PizzaLittle Nicky's New York Pizza isn't just another pizza joint. It's a taste of the Big Apple right here in Knoxville.The star of the show is definitely the pizza. The crust is light and airy, with a satisfying crisp that holds up perfectly. Nicky's sauce is a revelation for those who shy away from overly acidic tomato sauces. It strikes a perfect balance, neither sweet nor heavy, making it a great choice for even the most sensitive stomachs.But Little Nicky's goes beyond pizza. Their eggplant rollatini is a hearty and delicious option. The eggplant is perfectly fried, maintaining its crispness, while the ricotta and mozzarella filling is luxuriously creamy.For those who love to cook at home, Little Nicky's offers a selection of Italian specialties. I grabbed some of their fantastic sausage for my next meat sauce and a loaf of authentic Italian bread, baked fresh and straight from Brooklyn.The Burrata mozzarella deserves special mention. Pulled fresh daily, it was the creamiest, most buttery Burrata I've had in a long time. It paired beautifully with the garlic bread I made from their Italian loaf.No meal is complete without dessert, and Little Nicky's cannoli did not disappoint. They fill them fresh to order, and both the regular and chocolate cannoli were a delightful end to the meal. My fiance, a cannoli newbie, declared,” I need an endless supply of these."The warm and welcoming atmosphere added to the entire experience. Nicky and Dina were fantastic hosts, happy to chat about the good old days in NYC and Northern NJ. Their friendly service made me feel right at home.Overall, Little Nicky's New York Pizza is a hidden gem. From the incredible pizza and homemade specialties to the delicious desserts and friendly service, it's a place I have a feeling I'll be visiting very regularly.

We love this place! Great folks and great food, and WOAH!!! The desserts are to die for! YUMMY!
This man can cook. Oh my goodness. Not sure what I liked the most but I am pretty sure his canolli cream is to die for. Update The pizza is fantastic as well. My husband loves the Boston

We finally went to Little Nicky’s on Oakridge Hwy today ?.. I feel bad we always drive by & haven’t stopped. Holy Moly!! They are from New York & import many of their ingredients. Ms. Nicky makes over 300 meatballs a day!! Her hubby makes their sauce from scratch!! She sweet talked a company in Brooklyn to supply them with 200 lbs of Italian cookies. People drive from out of state for them!! Go get some y’all .! ??❤️✨

First time visiting Nickys. I'm Italian from Rochester NY. Been here 20 years and there is just no equivalent to Nicky's for fresh Italian food, hard rolls and Italian cookies, St Joseph Pastries, Cannolo, pizza, sausage. I could go on and on. So do yourself a favor take a ride out to Oak Ridge. You definitely will not be sorry. I will now be a regular. Thank you Nicky's for satisfying my taste of home and Paisans.

I’ve never had anything less than a wonderful and true NY pizza from them for over a decade. Not to mention the wide array of deserts never disappoints either.Not only is the food great, the people who own and run this joint have always been friendly and kind. Don’t waste your time driving into town for something, because you’ll miss the best pizza in the area on your way.
