Nicky's Pizza sits in Kansas City's Northland, where founder Nicholas "Nicky" Haug grew up working in his mother's pizza place before building his own concept around scratch-made dough and family recipes. It's counter-service casual, the kind of spot where neighbors run into neighbors.
Pizza is the specialty, but the menu runs wider: Garlic Cheese Bread with house-made sugo, a Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and Nani's House Made Meatballs — a recipe Haug's grandmother still comes in weekly to prepare, showing up solo, on Italian Sliders, and worked into other dishes. Handhelds include a Muffuletta built on a house Italian olive spread and Nicky's Chicken Salad on a house-made base, alongside dinner salads dressed with made-from-scratch dressings.
The Brazen Gourmets named Nicky's Pizza among its city picks.
