Nicky’s Pizza & Heroes Shop

I ordered a wrap with fries for lunch and it cost me $ 13. I could have a better sandwich and a beer for less money right down the road. Pretty sure it was the owner who charged me and he must have added a goodbye fee because there are much better options in Suffern/​Mahwah.

Man oh man, this place is for the poorest of heathens. I walked in and thought I mistook the place for the welfare office or a section 8 housing slum. I’m sure they had better ambiance at the Warsaw Ghetto. This is the place where all hopes and dreams go to die. I’m pretty sure Harry Potter had his soul sucked out of him by a dementor here, while two homeless guys were playing dice and drinking colt 45 in the back alley behind the dumpster. I’m sure this pizzerias financials look something like Somalia’s GDP and the clientele looks as if they’re Syrian refugees that just escaped a cluster gas bomb attack.
Great food though.

Good pizza if you don’t have a lot of money. All of Suffern’s impoverished eat here.

My husband got a gift certificate from his job, so we decided to go. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised. The spinach and mozzarella roll was good but the pizza was much better. This is the first pizza we have actually liked since moving up into this area. I would def go back and would recommend this place. Also, as we were leaving, I forgot my bag. After realizing I left it there, I called them and was surprised they actually had it. I was able to retrieve it with everything intact. So… Not only do they make good pizza, they are honest. A good combination in my book.

If you attend or have ever attended Ramapo College, chances are you have eaten Nicky’s Pizza at a club meeting or other school event. In that case, you also already know how bad the pizza is. As a freshman, I went to club meetings because I was enticed by the idea of free pizza, which is exactly what it’s supposed to do. However, I quickly realized that every single club meeting I attended ordered pizza from the exact same pizzeria, because of how bland and bad tasting it was. It’s hard to call a pizza ‘bad’ because even bad pizza is tolerable to eat, but Nicky’s Pizza really is terrible.
The school doesn’t trust each individual club and organization with the money allocated to it, so all purchases, including food, must get approval. They essentially have an «vendor» agreement with Nicky’s. A club orders pizza or whatever else is on their menu through the pre-​approved «vendor», it gets delivered, and the school reimburses them later, in a lump sum I assume. If you want food from somewhere else, you are stuck paying for it yourself, which is not usually feasible for college students. Literally the only reason anyone eats this pizza is because it’s free.
If it wasn’t for all the business they get from the College, Nicky’s Pizza would have been out of business a long time ago. I don’t eat the pizza anymore at any of the meetings I attend, despite it being free, after I got sick eating it last time. Regardless of that, I wouldn’t want to eat it anyway.

I come here on my lunch break for some slices when the mood strikes me. Plain slices are huge and delicious! A bit more expensive than NJ slices, but hey they are huge! Had the buffalo chicken slice and wasn’t too crazy about it. It seemed like it was lacking something I couldn’t put my finger on. Not horrible but not worthy of me trying it again. I tried the ziti slice and fell in love! The dough is thicker than the normal slice. Plus you have the ziti on top. Definitely a best seller there. I got the second to last slice and the next customer quickly grabbed up the final slice. This shows me others like it too. Haven’t tried things other than the pizza so I can’t comment on that yet.
I also like the old school arcade machine. They have a series of classic games on there to chose from. Must note you can’t play two player because one of the coin slots is jammed. Oh well.
So all in all this place ain’t too shabby. I’ll update after I try a few more things off the menu.

I have been disappointed the last 2 times I ordered sandwiches. I ordered a wrap and a couple of the ingredients listed on the menu, were not in the wrap. Next time I ordered a sandwich. The description said it had Swiss cheese. My sandwich had Swiss AND American (the Kraft singles kind). The American cheese had melted over the sandwich and it tastes really gross!

I’ve tried various pizza places in the area, and Nicky’s is the best I’ve had. The place is kind of a dive, but I just pick up or have it delivered. They have lots of different kinds of pizzas, and I’ve liked them all. Mind you – this isn’t fancy pizza, this is local take-​out.
I’ve gotten their other stuff and it’s all sort of standard pizza-​place Italian food. The heroes weren’t that great, but everything else has been fine.
It is kind of pricey for what it is, and I’ve used coupons only to figure out they didn’t add them into the final cost.

I was a big fan of Nicky’s and it has been my go to delivery place since I moved here in 2000. I am fairly sure this is under new management at least in the last few years. It has gone down hill bad. Even worse the prices have gone sky high. We used to love the wings here but have had some recent bouts of stomach pains after eating them. They have also been overcooked and over fried till dry.
Ordered a Chicken Parm, Slice of Sausage, Wings and a plain salad and it came to 40 dollars! The pies are not bad but the slices just sit all day and are disgusting. The prices are higher than others in the area. Even the salad was borderline disgusting. Ironically, I would prefer the pizza at Dominos any day to what we have been getting at Nicky’s lately. I’d love to see them succeed and pull this place from the abyss but they need to cut their prices and improve the quality, freshness and cleanliness of their food and establishment.

I’ve heard many mixed reviews about Nicky’s so I figured I’d give them a shot. Well, much to my disappointment it was disgusting! Walking in to Nicky’s I was hit with crumbs and dirt and used napkins in the floor– it just felt dirty, grimy, and run down and grossed me out from the start. The workers were rude and acted like I was bothering them from texting or their private conversations. Their pizza smelled good on the way home and was excited to have it! Unfortunately, that was the only good part. The crust had flour or something all over the bottom of it and their cheese wasn’t that good old-​fashioned chewy cheese. I was so disappointed and turned off by the poor customer service that I will not be going back. I’ll go to other pizzerias in the area.
