Nicky's Coal Fired

First time using Nicky's for catering and certainly won't be the last. I worked with Caroline who is a gem, and a fellow Chicagoan! Menu first... phenomenal. They cater to you. Need gluten free? Done. Need vegan? Done. So helpful for work events. I ordered so much: kale Caesar, cauliflower app, chicken piccata, famous meatballs, a few pastas, tiramisu and some cannolis. Everyone raved about the food! My personal favorites were the salad and meatballs. Caesar dressing was so fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs you should jar. When the meeting was over I legitimately scraped the extra sauce into a ball jar and took home. Best red sauce ever, and I'm critical. Delivery was a breeze and they were perfectly on time. I have no complaints. 10/10 recommend.

I give very few restaurants a 5/5. This restaurant earned it! Food is so fresh and delicious! The Burrata with heirloom tomatoes and watermelon was the freshest thing I ate in Nashville. Their pizza is thin crust with great flavor and a variety of toppings to choose from. Corn and bay scallops pasta was full of flavor in a creamy sauce. Pasta with red sauce was simple yet perfectly cooked. Not many restaurants cook their pasta perfectly al dente but Nicky's knocked it out of the park. Kale Caesar salad was very tasty and healthy. My husband hates kale and he even ate it! Service was phenomenal. It is a casual place where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I think it may be a Nashville thing. There's patio seating and inside is beautifully decorated with modern decor. They have a full bar and TVs at the bar if you want to sit at the bar and catch a game. It is a mom & pop shop and I was more than happy to support a local business. I loved it so much I made sure I went back right before they closed to order two more meals. Highly recommend!

Counter service threw me off. Still great staff and pretty quick. Pizza was close to East Coast Coal Fired. Perfect for a Sunday night pizza night.

Pizza and drinks were delicious. Raspberry cannoli was ok. We got both white and red sauce. They were good

Hands down Nicky's makes delicious and fresh Italian cuisine. They are known for their meatballs and yesterday I finally tried them--huge and full of flavor! Typically, I'm not a spaghetti and meatball kinda gal, but I thoroughly enjoyed this entree. Might I add that this dish is big enough to share or pair with something else and have leftovers (as I did with my salad). I enjoy their pizzas, but I was very pleased with the meatballs and salad and I would order again.

Nicky's is the name, pizza is the fame and long line waiting was the game! This coal fired pizzeria had all the fun & glorious holiday decor for Christmas time! The pizza was delicious. The service was overall pleasant. I'm just really glad I didn't know how long of a wait we were in for upon arrival, or I probably would've bounced. Not sure if this is the norm or it's mostly because of the whole Christmas vibe. I mean this place is totally decked out so you'll notice on social media. The certainly put a lot of effort into the interior decor. It's impressive. Standing in line outside in the cold isn't ideal. Definitely would not do it alone; And just when you think you're close and your time in line is ending, you get inside the building to see that you are only half way!! Because like an amusement park ride, the line must curl and wrap around lol. This may not be everyone's experience, especially outside of the holiday period, but it was mine.They offered a holiday drink menu while outside in line. We didn't partake. There is a patio also.While the food is tasty, it seems to me a bit overpriced. Even while splitting a pizza and a salad, my friend and I still both spent at least $50-60 individually. (we each had an alcoholic beverage too) You order and pay before you're even seated which was a bit different to me for a sit-down dine-in. For our salad, which came out first, we did the kale caesar which was a good size and enjoyable. We had some kind of White Pizza that included ricotta, other cheese and mushroom I believe, which was good. For my bubbles I had the Snowflake Spritz which was prosecco, raspberry, pomegranate & snowflake swirl for $14. By the amount of drink in the glass, I felt a little short changed (even when comparing to my friend's and others), but hopefully the glass was larger than it seemed. She had the Frozen Egg Nog and enjoyed it but agreed on my small serving size.I'm happy we got to experience Nicky's in all it's west Nash instagrammable glory. I enjoyed the food & company, but not sure I'd rush back because I am not a fan of standing in lines. If I pulled up and saw it, I may reverse and find another place. There were some people who did just that once they got to line. If you want tasty coal fired pizza or Italian cuisine in a cool bar, try this place out. Just beware of long lines when there's a Holiday pop up buzz a-buzzin. Perhaps it's not so bad when you go close to Christmas, be prepared to dedicate 1.5 hrs of standing waiting and $50+ to dining.Star Ratings:2 - wait time / line2.5 - pricing3.5 - drinks4.5 - food taste & quality4.5 - serviceIf I could score a 3.5 I would!

Went here around Christmas time and wow! The ambience, the drinks, the service, all so good! Food was delicious and drinks were perfectly strong. Only downfall is it's pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for. Side note: I appreciate the vegetarian options!

First time visiting. We ordered the classic margherita pizza, Caesar kale salad, 1 beer and the vegan supreme pizza. The salad was tasty but a lil dry just needed a tad bit more dressing and more garlic in the Caesar. Very good size, enough for 2. The margherita pizza was ok, a little greasy but still tasty. The vegan supreme was ok not $25 worth though. Overall cute place everyone was very nice. Our waiter was super cool. I'd return to try other items.

My husband and I had been looking forward to eating here for a while. We ordered 2 pizzas and cocktails. There were only 2 other people in the enite restaurant. We never got our cocktails. Employees standing around chit chatting behind the bar. Finally went to ask and they said they never noticed the order. Got cocktails a couple minutes after our pizza. The pizza was absolutely inedible and we left 2 whole pizzas (minus one bite) on the table. $90 later, we had to go buy a meal in another restaurant.

We walked in at 5:45 on a Friday and was told a 45 minute wait. Ended up waiting about 10 minutes before being offered a spot at the bar, which was great because that is more my style. Food was out in a timely manner, especially for how busy it was. I wasn't in a rush and I wanted to enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. It is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing pizza oven. Bartenders were very busy but still held their own in waiting on people at the bar. The food was very good, not amazing, but very good. They have a good size menu so I'll be back to try more. Star of the show: focaccia bread that came with the meatballs. Very good: margherita pizza with crushed red pepper, meatballs. What could've been better: white pizza with mushroom (this is a matter of opinion--I'm not super into mushrooms and while it was a good pie, maybe just a few less would've been better for my palate. Once again, just my preference). The sauce with meatballs was just a little too sweet for my liking. It's still very good. Great spot, everyone was working hard on a busy Friday night. I'll be back, hopefully on a slower day where I can watch them make the pizza. Beautiful restaurant, nice menu.
