Very delicious pizza, especially if you get a pepperoni. They are gigantic in size and very flavorful. One potential suggestion is to ask for the crust to be cooked a bit crispier more often? The first time I ordered, it had the absolute best crispiness to it.

How is this place only 3.2 stars? I’ve only ordered here once .. but this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I ordered a six slice and it looks like a 12 slice the salad was fresh. Everything tasted really good probably the best food I’ve had from the pizza place in Years.

We had a wonderful experience! The pizza was great and the drinks even better! Our bartender Kayla made an amazing apple mule! She has brought her mixology talent and we are never disappointed.

Awesome little Pizza joint! We only had slices (3) and 3 drinks and ate in. Pizza was DELICIOUS, and the slices were HUGE! The polite young man who took our order also delivered the slices to our table. The location is perfect for the downtown area of Schenectady, making it that much more inviting. Atmosphere - This restaurant is not Air Conditioned! It was 78 and Sunny outdoors, and a relief once outside the door! I get it - electricity in NY is outrageous! ...but it might score more walk-ins and eat-ins!

Great chunky sauce ln all the pastas and pizzas. Cant beat $12 pasta dinners on the weekends especially for the portions! Drink specials are always changing and always unique. The pizza is great I do suggest requesting extra crispy if you like crispier crust but aside from that the cheese sauce and dough ratio is poppin! Place has been open longer than ive been alive and slinging out delicious food ever since!

Decent food. Good portions. Try the rooftop dining! And the stromboli! It's a lesser known secret menu item!

The pizza is pretty good, however the wings are undercooked and tough. Also the last time I was there, flys were circulating on the pizzas in the front display case and landing on them. This was a complete turn off for me, I found this to be completely disgusting. My family and me will no longer do business with them.

Ordered Buffalo chicken pizza on 09/21/23, and it was horrible!!! Came from work to pick it up about an hour before closing and I got home all the way to amsterdam to find a pizza with dry chicken that had barely any Buffalo sauce whatsoever and there was no sauce on the pizza period! No red, no white, no ranch, nothing! Just half done crust with an inch of not fully melted cheese. Never again, would definitely need a refund on this one. Been here before and they did not disappoint, but this time it was absolutely disgusting and I couldn’t return it because olive 20 minutes away and was not driving all the way back at 10 at night. No bueno nicos bad business totally

I had one slice and couldn’t even finish it. Pizza is gross. Never have I ever seen broccoli chunks just thrown on top of a pizza….

My food is on the left and my brothers is on the right. Please tell me what the hell is wrong here???? I never ever saw stuffed shells with only 4 of them and little to no sauce. Highly disappointed!!!!

This was the worst pizza I have ever had. Ellios would have been a welcome treat compared to this. The chicken wings were dry and flavorless and I am not sure how you mess up mozzarella sticks but they accomplished it. To add insult to injury it wasn't even inexpensive. I cant even fathom how this place is still in business as the only constant is how awful it is.

I sat on hold for 4 minutes before they disconnected me (that should have been the first sign to go elsewhere but...) I called back, placed my order, had her read it back and we still got the wrong food. The pizza was bland, it wasn't cut through, only had toppings on half, the sausage tasted like it was about to spoil and the wings had a good flavor they were just dry and I mean VERY dry. NEVER AGAIN!

Ordered a 6 cut extra cheese today. By far the worst pizza i have ever had. It was a total mess! Hardly any sauce and was doughy and the cheese tasted old and moldy! It was so bad i took two bites, spit the second bite out and three the entire pizza away!! Absolutely disgusting

I could give ZERO stars I would!! $40 worth of food and it is the most disgusting, thrown together sloppy meal EVER! I called and spoke to some Ryan who claimed to be a "manager", he has ZERO customer service for a "manager". I told him I will NEVER order from here ever again and he replies with "good. We're glad you are not ordering here anymore". Wow. We support a local business and get poor service in return. Worst experience ever and would not recommend this place to anyone!

Really sad experience. The pizza looked bad and was bad. Soggy and floppy. The traditional pizza fold did not work on my slice--the front end actually fell off under its own weight. Add to that that there was not enough sauce, too much cheese, and the crust was about as long as the brim of a sombrero. My first time there was definitely also my last. It's a bummer that this is the pizza place on the main strip of town. We deserve better. For shame...

Update: we gave them one more try recently and were solidified in our conviction to stay away. The garlic knots showed up with no oil or seasoning and were the most shriveled up hard hockey pucks of bread I’ve ever seen. The “boneless chicken” was a mash up of randomly sized chicken rejects put in breading and barely seasoned. 🤢🤢 How is Nico’s THIS terrible?!? We kept ordering from here because we like the pizza, but no longer worth the headache. Every time we order from here for delivery something is messed up. Once completely forgot our chicken wings, twice brought the wrong type of wings, and 4 times forgot our sodas. We never complained about the soda, but tonight decided we’re no longer customers. After calling twice and being told a driver was on their way, yet no one showed up within the two hours, I said forget it. And half the time they turn their phones off so you can’t call and follow up about a screw up with the order.
