Nick-N-Willy's Pizza

What is exceptional about this pizza is how small a slice is for 8$ plus tax. Not worth a dollar. Maybe 50 cents. For shame!

Incredibly overpriced. 35$+ for a regular sized pizza and they still had a excessively large crust. At that price why skimp on the toppings. Pizza itself was decent but there’s atleast three or four spots that have a better pizza at a lower price on pearl st.

I’ve had some great pizza in the US and all over the world... but there is a special character to Nick-N-Willy’s. Eating a slice or a whole pie is about the experience this business provides. Starting with a great attitude from staff. Yes... a genuine good welcoming attitude. As a new transplant, this is my pizza place in Colorado! Love it!

Honestly, I was tired of walking /shopping and had gotten hangry, so as we sat on the wooden picnic table in the best sunlight and Boulder warmth I gazed upon the corner establishment emanating fresh baked dough and cheese and wings. It was Nick-N-Willy’s. The pizza slice is built right before you and the wings are roasted to perfection almost indistinguishable from the fried version. The sauces are in bottles in the condiment section. The prices were fair and my spouse and I shared the single portion size. Also they do take-and-bake as well. The perfect hangry on the go food item.

The most generously topped pizza slices I've ever had! My wife and I both had Mediterranean slices and it was like a salad on thin crust pizza. Absolutely delicious! Seemed pricey at first but once I saw and tasted it, it was worth it!

When I placed the order, I didn't realize that it was a Take and Bake place. They were nice enough to bake it for me while I waited. The pizza was good, but nothing out of the ordinary to justify the high price point. Worth a try if you want to checkout a new place. Probably won't be returning.

I am a lil' tipsy right now, but the service is speedy and great. The tomatoes on my pizza were fresh and the dough was great. If you want to come on down, then come on down !

Really great cheese pizza slice. I had the zesty garlic sauce instead of the red sauce. 4 stars only bc I prefer a more hand tossed. This was thin crust but still good.

Always fresh and reliable quality. This is our family go-to for dinner. Their pizzas are higher in price than the chain pizza restaurants because the ingredients are top quality. If you prefer to spend a little more to fill up on fresh goodness, Nick-N-Willy's will not disappoint.

We purchased a take-and-bake on Friday night, and I have gotta say it was delicious. The ingredients were fresh and piled high. We ordered The Aegean and would absolutely order it again. With that being said, the cost of the pizza was a bit of a turn off. I'm all about paying for quality, but this felt exorbitant for a take-and-bake pizza. I also will say the inside didn't feel incredibly clean when we arrived, but perhaps I judged too quickly and it was just bad timing. We would definitely go back again.

Their shop is adorable and the food is amazing (it's stayed the same since I can remember). They treat everyone like family and I always come get pizza when I come home to visit.

Meh. Stopped in for a snack and purchased a cookie. It was $3.71 and not good. A lack of chocolate chips and very crumbly. Seemed a bit stale.

Visiting from San Diego and stumbled upon this gem! Absolutely delish! Definitely will be coming back here when we are visiting again.

Holy JEEZ the prices went up. I ordered one single extra large Penny Lane pie - a vegetarian pizza, nothing else - and before tax it was $30. I would normally come here if I'm on this side of Boulder, which I'm not often, but for $35 after tax for a pizza with no meat that's not happening anymore. Beware that the prices in the pictures on Yelp are absolutely not accurate anymore and they don't tell you your total when you order on the phone unless you ask.

Great stop for lunch after a long morning of work in downtown Boulder. Hey have a good variety of lunch specials I went the traditional route and got slice of pizza with a drink for under $7. I like that it's a little area with seating right next to the meal Prep, the staff was friendly and helpful. As all things in Boulder you have to pay for your hourly Peking unless you are lucky enough to find a side street free area. Right off the corner of the busy street mall area. I would like to see if this location would ever change the basic blend of cheese to hold the sharp cheddar or orange cheese that I believe to be combined with mozzarella? The choices for adds on are fresh and ready to go; I noted that ALOT of people walked in and out for their orders so you can tell that people stop by often!

We have loved Nick & Willy's for over 20 years. The Aegean and Santorini are solid favorites - piled high with fresh ingredients. No lie on the advertising there! Yea - it isn't cheap, but good food seldom is. It is worth it to have it freshly made by hand. We love the down to earth staff, always incredibly friendly. Still our favorite for great pizza. (I am a long time Boulder resident - not from SF by the way.)

Not only is this pizza top notch, but so is there service. I ordered a pie with goat cheese, but instead it came with mozzarella. They weren't able to deliver a replacement and I wasn't able to pick one up. So George arranged for a new pie to be cooked up for me today. Is was so so good! I inhaled half in a sitting. :) Gluten Free crust! Goat cheese! Awesome topping options. I'll definitely be back!

BAKE OR TAKE Ok, I was visiting the area and stopped by this place. Not a bad find. BUT NOTE! I called ahead so the pizza was ready when I arrived (the temp was 32 and dropping and I was on foot!) so it was a surprise to walk into this place and 1. have the person at the counter not know about my order (they had to check with another person), and 2. For that said person to walk over to a fridge and hand me an uncooked pizza They're great though, they baked it there, I just wasn't aware this was how they worked. Also, you can create your own pizza...I liked that option. Ill do that the next time I'm in the area.

Have ordered pizzas to go from here a couple of times and still honestly trying to figure out why there's such a high price point for a take-and-bake pizza. The pricing is the same, if not more, than other spots around town of similar (or even higher) quality where they do the work for you and it's ready to eat. A 2-topping 14" large pizza is $17.99, and if you want a topping on only half the pizza, you still get charged for a full topping. Wtf? I don't particularly love the fact that take-and-bake is the only option here, especially given how overly complicated the baking instructions are. The whole point of ordering pizza is to have a no-frills night in and not have to babysit your meal as it's cooking, am I right? But N&W makes it impossible because they specifically tell you to pop the stupid dough bubbles every few minutes (and they make it very clear to follow the instructions to "avoid pizza shame.") Ugh. I want to love this place so badly, especially because of how close it is to home and the fact that they seem to really support hiring kids that are new to the working world. But come on, it's take-and-bake pizza for the love of Pete, and just because wealthy Boulder moms who want a night off from cooking can afford a $20 simple pie, doesn't mean you should capitalize on it. The value here is mediocre at best.

Amazing service!!! To the young man in the black shirt who checked us out, fantastic service, so kind and helpful. The pizza was delicious. 10/10

Solid 4.5. This was our first time visiting. We've been to Papa Murphy's multiple times because it was an expensive and easy (4 kids eat a lot of pizza!). I was kind of taken aback by the high prices. Roughly $21 for a large sausage and jalapeño pizza. But dang the pizza was good! I can't go back to Papa Murphy's. My only criticism would be the pizza needed slightly more tomato sauce, there was a lot of crust and it was a little bit dry on the edges. Otherwise wow!

Came in on a cold spring day with a friend passing thru Colorado. Saw the Yelp freebie for check in and was excited he could try the wings that are so highly reviewed. So, 5 stars for flavor and quality - but 3 to the server for not understanding the Yelp check in freebie offer of 6 free wings with the order. His thinking it was expired even though I showed him the current offer - in the end, he gave us 3 for free. Can't wait to come back to try another slice - had essentially the Aegean? The slice I had is not on the website menu. Loved watching them prep the pies and salads - nice way to spend a chilly afternoon!

I dont get it. When I call in a pizza place to order a pizza then it means I want food that is ready to eat. It does not mean I am looking for ingredients of a pizza that I am willing to put in an oven. I get what you are selling and the idea behind it. But as someone who is visiting Boulder for a few days, staying in a hotel and needs a quick bite to eat, it would have been nice to know that when I am placing an order for a pizza that I should just be expecting raw ingredients of pizza instead. Whenever someone calls to pick up a pizza please be explicit that it's a take and bake pizza place.

We ordered half chicken and slice of pizza. We showed them that we had Yelp checkin offer, they accepted it right away, which was good. But then the guy turns around and speaks to his coworker "Who eats wings at 2pm in the afternoon ", loud enough for us to hear him. Well I do and its none of your business. After that the entire experience was downhill. Honestly the food is good. The pizzas are slightly expensive for yhe location but tasted good. We ordered slice of Thai pizza and it was good. There was lot of Olive oil in it. Also, half slow-roasted chicken was well marinated and cooked nicely. I did not like that they cooked chicken with skin. But for $7, it was good and large portion. We were here on Christmas day and every one was wished except us. We dined over there and no one asked us if we needed anything, but the servers asked everyone else. So, overall my experience was not good. But yes, the food was good. I would not come here again though coz experience does matter to me.

It's good but not great, especially at this price point -- $65 for two large take 'n bake pizzas. Plus, now that I've tried nearly every other pizza venue in Boulder over the past 2 years, there are so many more appealing options. The pizzas are unique. The wingin Willy does indeed taste like buffalo chicken wings: it's got blue cheese, chicken, jalapeños...drizzled with hot wings (Tabasco + butter) sauce. The Mediterranean and little nell are nice combinations, too. However, the bbq sauce on the Nell tastes just like sweet baby rays so I'm not sure about whether these are wholesome ingredients. I'd choose several other venues on pearl street over this spot, unless you just really want to grab an unbaked pizza for home. They do have a couple salads in the cold case, ready to grab and go...but again, they're pretty standard salads and nothing to get too excited about unless you're craving a standard Greek, Caesar or house style salad. You can go gluten free for a premium.

Best pizza in town, not an overstatement! I recommend ordering a whole pizza made fresh. X-Large is 8 big slices.

Holy moly this place was amazing. The menu was so creative, and the slices we ordered were sooo amazing. The prices are great for the amount of food/quality we got. When we ordered, the man behind the bar put together our slices with fresh ingredients, piling them high. He even gave us a couple wings to try--which were unreal. If we weren't leaving later that day, we would have ordered an entire chicken to eat later. Will definitely visit the next time we are in Colorado!!

My friends and I were craving pizza and wings while visiting the area and came across Nick-N-Willy's based on the number of decent reviews. We showed the owner a picture of the wings that were featured on their Yelp page asking which flavor this was and to our surprise he said the photo was incorrect, they do not have fried chicken wings, only baked wings and that someone must have uploaded a stock photo (despite it saying uploaded by the owner). Weird flex but ok. He was nice enough to allow us to sample their baked wings which I personally wasn't a fan of as it wasn't flavorful enough for me (but my other two friends were fans). He even encouraged us to use the featured Yelp deal which was 6 free wings when you check in. I ended up just ordering a slice of The Outback but subbed the bacon for Italian sausage and was rather disappointed. For a specialty slice pizza, the toppings did not taste fresh at all and I couldn't appreciate any of the "zesty garlic sauce" base. In the end, I left not feeling the least bit satisfied with my food and felt that I overpaid for a mediocre slice of pizza.

If you had asked me a few days ago what was Nick-N-Willy's, I wouldn't of had a clue. Now I'm a huge fan of this pizza place!! Nick-N-Willy's makes a hell of a pizza, my friend ordered the pizza, picked it up, and baked it at home. When the pizza was ready, the smell instantly drew me to the kitchen. When I got around to eating the pizza, it was AMAZING. The ingredients were so fresh, full of flavor, and the dough so crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the inside. The chicken on the pizza was so good, it wasn't any of that fake manufactured chicken, this was legit oven roasted chicken thrown onto the pizza. Overall, this place is top notch, no complaints whatsoever. Will be back as soon as possible.

I grew up in NY so I have high standards for what I consider great pizza. Nick and Willy's is not bad pizza but it definitely is not great pizza IMO. It is more of a flatbread anyhow. They are very generous with the toppings which is a plus. But where their pizza falls short is the crust. It was so dry that it felt more like eating a soft cracker. I had to add olive oil just so it was bearable. They do provide some delicious hot sauce that seems a lot like wing sauce. I loved the hot sauce! But I honestly don't know how they won best of Boulder 17 times. I personally think the pizza place on the Pearl St mall is better. But my favorite pizza in the region is Adesso in Lafayette.

There's no shortage of GREAT pizza joints in Boulder, and this is definitely one of them. I like NYC-style pizza: thin crust, cheesy, and crispy. That's what they offer here. I also like small, simple, unpretentious places with a friendly staff, and that's what Nick-N-Willy's is. The folks working here seem relaxed and friendly. They offer pizza by the slice, and the slices are the biggest I've eaten in Boulder. Really, they're bigger than my head! Plus the ingredients are fresh and done perfectly. There's outdoor seating in the warm weather, with good people watching views. I LOVE this place.

No longer fan of NW! We lived downtown for 15 years and used to get slices with my young daughter. The other night my husband ordered a 16 " gluten free vegi pizza....$40 wo tip...NO delivery, he picked it up!!!! Uhhhhhhhh that's CRAZY expensive! AND there was HARDLY any cheese on it!!! Won't be going again. You have lost out business

Mountain goat slice was phenomenal. I'll be having dreams about that pizza. Husband's was carnivore, also very generous and delish.

Probably the worst excuse for "pizza" I've ever had. I don't know what happened but it was like cheddar cheese threw up on $10 cracker. What a waste.

I sorta don't get the point of take-n-bake if it's not cheaper than pizza served to you in house. Seriously, why pay the same price for pizza you have to take home, cook yourself, and do all the dishes for? Nick-N-Willy's take-n-bake is not appreciably cheaper than any higher-quality pie you can get in a restaurant. But it IS good. I'll admit that. Their crust is probably my favorite in town, and their fun, off-the-wall combinations cater directly to my tastebuds. I don't really like the run-of-the-mill mozzarella, tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms thing. I like my pizza with a twist; pesto sauce, white sauce, chicken, spinach, goat cheese, brie, pineapple, BBQ sauce, whatever. Nick-N-Willy's offers one or two of these twists at a time, making the pizzas appetizing to me without allowing me to go totally crazy and order a feta-pineapple-bacon-sundried-tomato-alfredo pizza and then regret it later. Last time I went I was with two friends and we decided to order the extra-large - I think it was called the Mountain Goat or something (it's not on their website so I have to guess). Anyway, it had goat cheese, mozzarella, chicken, garlic, and some other stuff, but the operative ingredient for all of us was goat cheese. We ordered the pizza and were hanging around waiting for it to be ready, when the girl behind the counter goes, 'Actually, we're out of goat cheese, is there another kind of cheese you want on it?' The pizza was already made, so they didn't offer us the option of ordering a different pizza. We just had to choose another cheese. They gave us samples of the feta and the fontina, and we chose the feta. Personally, I think that if you're out of an ingredient, you should tell the customer BEFORE their pizza is already made so they have the option of ordering something else. And if you accidentally screw up and don't do that, you should give the customer a small discount on their order. They didn't do either. We were charged full price, which is not a huge deal, but sort of rubbed me the wrong way. I'd go back though, but probably just for slices, since the pizza is so tasty and it's right down the hill from my house (and across the street from Spruce Confections, where I can get a delicious dessert cupcake afterward!)

Without a doubt the BEST pizza in Boulder! They only use the highest quality ingridents which is reflected in every slice that comes out of the oven perfectly baked. Add a little red pepper flakes and some oregano and you have a slice of heaven that melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is old school Boulder (so are the prices). I love eating inside at the counter and chatting it up with Terry or his staff. They couldn't be more inviting and friendly. On a day the sun is shining take a seat at one of the tables outside for the most perfect view of the Boulder flatirons. It doesn't get much better than this. FYI....The chicken wings are amazing too. :) *****Thank You Nick and Willy!*****

I hadn't been in for a while and I noticed a few changes. They sell rotisserie chicken and wings, for a nice add to the menu. We don't eat much doughy pizza any more, cutting carbs and all, but the Aegean is so tasty and healthy, we had to have one tonight. The dough has gotten thinner (which is a good thing) but it is not as yeasty and tender as it used to be (not a good thing.) Still and all, so much better to bake at home than have cold take out or delivery. But I prefer dine-in thin crust wood fired oven pizza.

Staff seemed very confused throughout our whole ordering process and when we asked about the check-in offer. Opted for slices and the crust was WAY undercooked. I couldn't even eat mine and made my super hungry bf eat it. We came through Boulder for a day trip and scoured Yelp to pick a spot worth our money. This was not it and I was super sad, when Boulder is filled with food gems.

Decent wings and pizza but way overpriced. It would be helpful to have menu prices on your website and advertise that this is take and bake pizza.

Great pizza place in Boulder on Pearl street, so close to shops and everything else. It's a small place that has a few bar type seats to seat about 6-8 people but most of the people bought the large pizzas to take away. We had slices and it was great!! I had the international which was my favourite, the wild willy combo which was huge! Toppings were overflowing and the basil, tomato and garlic. I was really hungry when I ate here and went for 3 slices which was more than enough! It's a cool spot and when I checked in on yelp they gave me 6 free chicken wings (at least when I checked in), another good reason to use yelp! Definitely be back as I enjoyed it!

The lady says it's the Best Pizza she has had in her life. With a capital "B" and "P." Great crust, and nice group of fillings. Simple little counter area to sit and read your Boulder Weekly. I think the best deal is to get a small or medium and share amongst 2 or 3 friends. They also serve chicken too.

Terrible. No sauce and terrible at unwrapping and putting in oven. I would not recommend. It is super gummy and almost impossible to put in oven.

Awesome place, super friendly staff with amazing pizza and chicken wings. Wish I lived in Boulder so we could go there on the regular.

Not cool: Same guy assembling pizza with bare hands took my money and then provided change. He also worked equipment then mushed his bare hands in a pile of cheese. I appreciate that there was a generous amount of sauce on my slice - this is rare amongst NY-style slice dispensaries in Boulder. The crust, unfortunately, was not all crispy or yeasty. Could have been baked longer as cheese was not browned. I also appreciate that a good variety of toppings were available to sprinkle on top. I did parmesan, dry basil and garlic powder. At $2.67 with tax, this is the least expensive slice in Boulder but not necessarily the best. Go with Brooklyn Pizza for that.

Pizza by the slice cooked to order!! Most "by the slice" places simply reheat one of a few options. Here the whole menu is available by the slice!! Friendly people, nice place and an extensive menu make this a five star experience.

This pizza is worse than Digiorno's and it was $60 for 2 pizzas, a salad and horrible garlic bread. No flavor, and you have to bake it yourself. Awful.

Took my kids here for slices - we all thought it was our favorite in town. Super thin, crunchy crust, thin but flavorful sauce, and deep toppings.

Some of the best pizza in Boulder. The Earthbound Underground is basically a garden's worth of vegetables piled onto a delicious, well-charred crust. Great service.

WOW! Great pizza and best of all...I made it myself! Well the good dudes at Nick and Willy's started the process of this prize-winning pizza, but I'm the one who is FINISHING THE JOB!! Love this concept, and they hook it uuuuuuup with the toppings. Friendly dudes behind the counter doing what friendly dudes do...making high quality pizzas and friends for life. If I lived here, I'd eat here on the reg and try all their other delectable delights. Give Nick N Willy's a try if you are open to cooking your own awesome pizza and taking all the credit for it!

Don't waste your time. Ingredients seem like they are out of a can. Some of the worst and most expensive pizza I've ever had. Any other option would be better.

The wings are good. However when I picked them up , I was charged $1 more than was quoted on the phone AND it's listed on the menu at the lesser price. The staff said although it's listed on the board at $12.99 the computer showed $13.99 It's not a big deal, but owner should know in case wants to explain to me the mistake. It's not the money as much as the principle. I should have been charged what was told to me and what's listed. I will come back and let management know what happened. (Maybe they read these reviews and respond)

This place is great! Like most businesses, the people make the difference. The pizza was great and the salads were great as well. We appreciate supporting businesses that care about their customers! Keep up the great job Nick n Willy's.

Offer of free wings was misleading. People were nice but pizza was average n overpriced (maybe usual for Boulder I guess)

Saw this place the first night we visited downtown Boulder and knew I had to get a bite before I left back to Dallas. So I finally stopped by today with my family and it was amazing. The employees were so nice and prepared the pizzas beautifully. They even gave my small nephews dough to play with while they waited on the pizza. Seeing them prepare the pizza and toss the dough was amazing, but finally getting to taste a slice was the best. Really good! Definitely stop by to get a whole pizza or even a slice. If and when we cone back to Boulder I'll make sure to stop here again!

Is this a joke? As someone originally from Brooklyn, I feel personally victimized by Nick-n-Willy's pizza. If you want cardboard, DiGiorno crust topped with marinara sauce and a block of Polly-O mozzarella and CHEDDAR (yes, cheddar fucking cheese on a slice of pizza), then fine. Go here. But if you have any dignity, take yourself to Audrey Jane's for some real NY style pizza.

The ingredients did not seem fresh and the pizza was underwhelming, tasted like hot lunch. People were nice.

I am appalled at the mere existence of this place. Who sells ingredients of a pizza and on top of that so expensively!! Are you serious?! This place needs to be marketed as take and bake. Horrible, and a waste of time and money!!
