I like it!

by rocker09

Don't know what the last few people were talking about. Unless they went on an 'off' night, I found everything to be wondreful. The pizza and calzones were awesome. Even the salads, which aren't really a NY thing or a Anywhere thing were great. Okay, so it didn't taste my my local place back home, it was still great stuff. You got to try their frozen drink thingies. I got the Creamsicle, oaky 2. man was that good!

I give it a thumbs up in my opinion. I don't know what part of NY those last few people lived in or how to make the one guy happy (seems like he didn't like any place he went to), tut this was some goooooooooooood food!

• Pros: Fun, family type place. Entertaining!
• Cons: Need one closer to where I live, but will make the trip again.

Good not Great.

by kieganb

It was good but nothing special. I highly doubt that this is what real authentic New York style pizza taste like.

In Search of REAL Pizza... this was not it.

by NYBrew

The search continues... I recently moved to the basin from New York and while I enjoy the Mexican fair, I miss REAL Pizza more than anything else from the North East... even the fall foliage. I looked up Pizza reviews online and saw that Nicantoni's was #2 in the valley, so I tried it last night (11/20) (at the Gilbert location). I bought 2 pies... one cheese and one meatball and olive. My wife and I decided that the pizza was about on par with the pizza that you get from Chuck E. Cheese back east.... not very good, only a small step above Pizza Hut. We decided that the problem was the crust... which is nothing at all like real pizza crust. The Pizza also was not nearly as greasy as a real New York Pizza. Overall I have to say the search for real Pizza continues. Nicantoni's might be a good alternative for Domino's but if you're from the northeast don't believe the claim that this is real New York Pizza, because it is not.

You find grease in the automotive section....you find oils in the cheese.

Great pizza, excellent service

by Renniegade

Me and my co-workers were in town on business and the owner really took great care of us. The waitresses were extremely friendly and we had a blast. The pizza was amazing and we came back every day after that!!

• Pros: A+ crust

Great pizza, Great service, Great atmosphere

by ForTheHorde

new york city girl you really dont have any taste bud's you must have lived in mexico or something

arizona this really is the best pizza ever made.. wow even better than back east ....NYC. MA...FLA..RI..VA..NH

etc.. I have lived here now for 5 years i have tried the BIG Company pizza's and even tried the small ones

and let me tell you ..Nicantoni's is by far "The Best"

1. the service

They greet Every Customer with a smile, even the regular customers by name ..big company's dont do that

2. the food

always cooked the way YOU like it. if you like the crust softer just ask im sure they will do it

my favorite pizza is there ricotta cheese omg it's to die for. Highly recommed it..and for a side try there jalopeno popper's Mmm there good.

3. the walls

back east you have checkerd walls traditional red and white Boring... here the walls are a dark purple with splashes of color on them definately a relief for sore eyes.. oh and would any of the other companys let you even sign your name on there wall I DONT THINK SO..find my name im jim from boston

4.the point is

No matter where you are from or how you like your food Nicantoni's really is the best pizza you'll ever have with the a friendly service ,great atmosphere and the Quality you expect

• Pros: it's simple everything
• Cons: were reading the reviews on here "can't please them all"

I felt sick after I ate this JUNK

by NYGIRL63

WOW!! I would have rather taken my family to McDonalds and ate off the dollar menu. Not only is the service HORRIBLE ( staff is very careless, un-friendly & not too great to look at ) but the pizza made me sick to my stomach! LITERALLY! We made a 30 min drive to this " fabulous " NY style pizza place & were EXTREMELY dissapointed. I had to take advil while eating just because the hideous purple wall's gave me a headache! Watch barney much? I'm from NY & I am ashamed that people think this is how us New Yorkers eat & like our pizza. It's wrong that this place can say they have " authentic NY style pizza ".Their toppings were cold & bland. We ordered a sausage pizza and the sausage was cold, crumbled up & tasted as if it had been sitting out for days. DO NOT GO THERE!!! It is a hole in the wall and not worth the money at all!! There is a reason it's dead on a Saturday night people!! Hopefully one day I will find " authentic NY style pizza " in Arizona!

• Pros: It had a couple TV's & the table's were cool
• Cons: everything!

Who is this, my ex wife? If things were that bad, why didn't you say something then so we coudl've corrected them?

Though everyplace has it's faults I find it hard to believe the service was "HORRIBLE". I would like to apologize that every piece of sausage wasn't perfectly sliced, but we don't use the crumbled junk. I'd would like to know though, if the pizza was hot out of the oven how the toppings were cold? You got me on the purple walls, but I am so tired of the "authentic" red and white checker board look. Also it appears that you came in on a Saturday night, which would've been the 4th?

Wish we could've talked this out in person as I like to have a 100% satisfaction. Though I can't and won't change everything because I can't please everyone, I can't make everyone like what I serve, but I can make it a pleasant dining experience regardless. I can fix certain things though that need to be fixed. With the exception of the purple walls :)

Best in the World

by bridgetr30

I was not a pizza fan, but my daughter was. We had heard that Nicantoni's had good pizza, so I reluctantly took my child their for dinner one night. I still do not like pizza that much with the exceptions on Nicantoni's... it is the only pizza I will eat. If I could afford to buy it every night I would. The pizza is perfectly done... not too much.. not too little..great flavor.

• Pros: Great place to go and relax, staff is extremely friendly
• Cons: none

WOW!

by kiegan73192

This pizza is the best pizza i have ever had. The crust id crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the sauce is delicous becasue it is not overpowering and goes well with the ooey gooey cheese. Its quite a long drive to get there from where i live but is definitely well worth it.

NICANDTONI'S PIZZA

by djob

The worst pizza I have ever had in my life. The sauce was beyond boring, the toppings had no flavor whatsoever! The crust was burnt and when I called to ask if it was normal, they said "YES"! Thanks for the cardboard! Even though we paid $15 for this, we didn't want to waist our calories on bad pizza. Hopefully the homeless will enjoy it at least.

I was taught less is more. You can always add whatever spices to flavor up your pizza. You can't take it away if the sauce is too spicey. The reason I said the crust was supposed to be like that because it was! I explained that we cook our pizza so the crust is crispy and the cheese is a golden brown. I also said that if you like it less cooked next time, please tell me and i can undercook your pizza a little bit. As far as the toppings, I had no idea that I could buy flavored vegetables. I thought they came out of the ground or on limbs that way. Oh well, I guess if I only got ! complaint a year we ain't doing too bad. Looks like we're the best at being the worst too :)

Best Pizza in the valley..

by mikemikem

I was told the pizza was great but I hadn't eaten there until I was invited to join some friends.Well, all I can say about the pizza is, after the first bite I knew this pizza was going to be a real treat. For me NnT's is the place (worth traveling to) to get the BEST pizza I have tasted anywhere in the Valley... The only way to know what I mean would be to go and try it, then when you get home jump on the laptop and write your own review about what a great pizza you just ate...
