Niki's Pizza

It's been a while since I've been here.My son and I were fortunate enough to get a table before a Detroit Lions playoff game.We went with the Greek salad and their classic Detroit style deep dish pizza. The salad was fresh and the dressing was authentic and tasty. I would have liked a little more feta cheese.The pizza was quite good and checked all the boxes that quality Detroit style pizza is known for.The crust was light and crunchy.The pizza sauce was tangy and hearty.The service was spotty but it was an extremely busy night in the "D".If you're looking for a solid place for lunch or dinner you won't be disappointed coming here.

Hands down best Za in Downtown,Went in for lunch, on a Friday. The place was desolate, nevertheless greeted with warmth and smiles from the servers. I was greeted quickly and had my pick of any booth or table. They had TVs on but they were not loud or jarring, just some white-noise in the background, and i bet if i had asked to change the channel to something i wanted to watch they would've obliged.I order the 2 slice special, which is two slices of their famous pepperoni or cheese with a Greek salad. On the salad I asked for extra olives, at no extra charge! The pizza: Fluffy, crunchy, scrumptious crust. Great cheese melt and pull on every bite. A robust and hearty red sauce that filled every bite. And the pepperoni had a delicate, yet tangy flavor that echoes through the palette. So good i almost ordered a whole pizza to go!! But we practice restraint in 2025. The salad: Nothing to right home about. Except I appreciate extra olives was no extra charge, and their olives do have the pits in em, just an fyi for anyone ordering a Greek Salad in the future. Can't wait to order a whole pie one day and chow down!

This spot is in the heart of Greektown, and was the only spot that I saw in the downtown area that has later hours (which is prime time for pizza). First of all, LOTS of interior seating space inside the restaurant, which I was impressed to see. I went here a few times, and the second trip is what bumped the rating up a bit. The first time I stopped here, I got the small Detroit Style Pizza (pictured), which took a solid 25 mins. I had somewhere to be, so I got it carry out. The pizza is definitely a D-Style, and was 'reliable'. I returned a few nights later because I just wanted a slice, and in an odd twist, I thought the slice was better prepared than the whole pizza. It was a cheese slice, and it was a fresh out slice. Not sure if it's because I went after midnight when the pizza is hitting different, or I was just in the mood for a slice, but my impression of the slice was better than the full pizza. With that being said, it's a spot you can go to late if you're downtown/Greektown Detroit with lots of dine in space, slices to go, and it's priced pretty standard. The service was good; nothing much to add on that end. If you like spacious dining environments and a reliable slice, this is the spot.

Finally got to try Detroit style pizza at its hometown! Niki's had lots of different options and since they specialize in Greek cuisine, they also had Greek dishes. The Greek salad was massive, with lots of beets, lettuce, feta cheese, peppers, and house Greek dressing. It also came with pita bread The chicken wings were crispy and the breading was on the thicker side. We got bbq sauce on the side but you could also choose from honey mustard as well. Since we wanted to try a few different flavors, we could get a large half and half pizza with two different options. We got half feta cheese and half super, which was a combo of veggies and your choice between lamb, beef, and bacon. Unfortunately they got our order wrong twice so we couldn't get what we wanted but on the bright side, we ended up with more pizza than we expected. Sad I didn't get to try the lamb as I requested but the pizza itself was tasty and loaded with toppings. The slices are thick as well so even two slices got me very full! Service is on the slower side and our waitress disappeared for a little bit, but was friendly. There are plenty of indoor seats and the decor is modern, with lots of wooden accents and vibrant paintings. The parking is street parking only and the side streets weren't the safest to walk so make sure to bring some buddies with you!

I don't know if we hit Niki's on a bad night or what, but this wasn't a good experience.We came on a weekday night and it wasn't busy. This is one of the Detroit style pizza places I hadn't been to yet, and was looking forward to trying it. We were pointed to an area to sit and were given menus to take to our table. We waited quite a long time until a server realized we hadn't been checked on (they were apologetic). After taking our drink order (and the beer I was interested in was out, so I ordered another...), the server came back to tell me my next beer choice was out. So, I went with a plain old Bud Light.I ordered my staple pizza for whenever I try a new DSP spot: pepperoni and mushroom. My wife had the feta pizza, which was supposedly awarded as a top pizza in America. Both were rather underwhelming. I felt the sauce was too sweet and the cheese just wasn't right for a Detroit style. I was entirely mozzarella instead of the staple Wisconsin brick cheese. The crust was decent, but the sauce and cheese not being right (and oozing off the slices in a way that most DSP doesn't) just didn't do it for me. She wasn't much of a fan of her feta pizza either.I imagine this is a great place to go before a concert or a sports event when things are busy. There's plenty of space for a drink and pizza if your expectations aren't high.

After a long flight to Detroit, I found myself STARVING. Myself and a few friends from a conference looked around for a place to sit and have a good meal. We found Niki's Pizza - a wonderful spot not that far from the riverfront. It has pizza, salads, regular entrees, and a full bar. It was exactly what we needed!I ordered a small veggie pizza - I've never had a Detroit style pizza and it was so good!The inside of Niki's was clean and inviting. On my first visit to Niki's (because YES, I went back the next day to eat more pizza), the A/C was broken. Our server was so kind and explained the situation. She asked if we needed any additional waters or anything to compensate for the heat. Luckily, I am from sweltering Florida, so the heat was not bothering me one bit! The next day, the A/C was all fixed up. I highly recommend Niki's if you are in the area or staying at a hotel nearby. It's a great place to sit and breathe after a long day at a conference or after a day of travel!

We stopped by Niki's Pizza on a Saturday afternoon. I would describe their pizza as traditional Detroit style, but with a Greek flair. We had a large pizza with pepperoni only. Food: Great pizza - very filling. The tomato sauce was fairly sweet, and the crust was just the right amount of crispiness on the outer edges, where it contacted the pan.Service: Service was decent, but not outstanding. Our server was competent, but seemed distracted.Ambiance: This is a great, old building that's been around since the 1980's. However, there was a huge group of guests having a family reunion when we came into the restaurant, and the noise level was out of control. That's not the fault of the restaurant of course, but that large party diluted the wait staff. My left eardrum is still ringing from the soul-crushing decibel level from that table.

We were meeting some friends before a Lions game and they decided to come here because they offer some allergy friendly options. We had already eaten but I couldn't resist the pizza. It was absolutely delicious!! We love the ambiance here and the service was great. I swear Detroit has some of the most amazing pizza options!

We were visiting Detroit because of the Free Press International Marathon so of course one of our stops had to be an establishment with Detroit Style Pizzas! They are dog friendly on the patio so that's always a huge plus. Our server was great and she was on it! The portion sizes here are great. Both salads and pizzas we ordered were very good and the Opa! Saganaki presentation was fun!I'm happy we randomly came across and experienced Niki's while we were in Detroit!

Service was less than average. The inside looked much nicer than it did on the outside. The pizza was just ok. It was doughy with limited toppings. Likely won't be back, but was a needed break after the game.
