Nick's Italian Pizza

Visit time: 2 hours

Try the mouthwatering ranch pizza!



Hey there! I've got a great suggestion for you. If you're in Kansas City, you have to try Nick's Italian Pizza. They have a special lunch deal with 2 slices and a drink, and let me tell you, the slices are huge! You won't go hungry. My personal favorite is the ranch pizza with chicken and bacon topped with white sauce, but all the toppings are delicious. The crust is thin and flavorful.

But here's the best part: it's not just your average mall pizza. It's actually really good. I judged it too quickly the first time, but I've been back 8-9 times since then. It's not gourmet pizza, but it's perfect for a quick and tasty slice. And at $8.99 for two slices and a drink, it's a great deal. Some other pizza places in KC charge $6-$8 for just one slice. I haven't tried their pasta, wings, or sandwiches yet, but I'm sure they're just as good.

Oh, and did I mention their grilled chicken salad is the best salad ever? It's absolutely delicious! The service is also top-notch and very friendly. So, what are you waiting for? Head over to Nick's Italian Pizza and satisfy your pizza cravings!
