Nick's Pizza Altamonte Springs

The sauce is absolutely amazing! I couldn't stop eating the garlic knots with the marinara—it's the best I've ever had! The pizza is phenomenal as well!

Ultimately, it comes down to personal interpretation of what New York-style pizza should be. For me, it’s all about the crust having a distinct flavor and being thin toward the center. A good New York pizza must also have plenty of cheese and high-quality pepperoni. The sauce is what really sets it apart from other pizzas; it should have a certain sweetness without overpowering garlic flavor. If I wanted a garlic sauce, I would have ordered one. I’m not particularly fond of garlic, even though I know it has some health benefits; I just don’t think it belongs on a New York-style pizza. Unfortunately, the sauce they used was too garlicky for my taste. I genuinely wanted to give them a five-star review because the service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and I appreciate supporting independent owners. The pizza itself wasn’t bad, but it was too far removed from what I believe New York-style should be. Clearly, many people love it; the pizzeria has received plenty of five-star ratings, and I respect those who enjoy their garlic-filled sauce. However, it just isn’t for me. Did I perhaps receive a different type of sauce by mistake? Are there options, such as Grandma's slices, that might have a different sauce? This would be the only reason I’d consider trying this pizzeria again. If the owner could clarify this for me, I’d appreciate it. While I commend his efforts, if this is the only sauce available, I’ll have to pass on a return visit.

Tonight, I finally had the chance to try their pizza after almost three years of living in this area. I can confidently say it’s the best pizza I’ve had since moving here over 35 years ago. The young man at the counter was very polite and greeted me with a smile, and everyone inside seemed to be in good spirits. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Five stars just doesn’t do it justice!

I think I found my new favorite spot. Awesome pepperoni pizza high quality cheese and dough, thin crust, fresh sauce. Authentic NY pizza joint right here.

Ordered the Large Pie Monday special, some garlic knots and zeppoles. Was not disappointed at all!! Service was excellent and our order was ready right on time! The garlic knots were delicious and the pizza was perfect. The crust may not have much flavor but it was still phenomenal. We have so many leftovers, and I'm not complaining at all! Will definitely be my go-to spot for pies when I drop in to town. A huge shout out to the super friendly staff, thank you guys!
