"Chef and co-owner Tony Galzin has made pizza the centerpiece of Nicky’s menu, getting the pies just right with the help of “Enrico,” a four-ton coal-fired oven. The industrial-chic counter-service spot in the Nations offers a thoughtful selection of red- and white-sauced pies, like the Keenan & Kale featuring roasted Yukon golds, fontina, and kale." - Ellen Fort
"The Nations is now Santa Claus’ headquarters, festooned with tinsel garlands and hundreds of twinkling lights from floor to ceiling. It’s the restaurant’s fourth year of extreme holiday festivities, and it’s bringing back signature dishes like Christmas Tree pasta, pizzas, and newly introduced cocktails like the Tropical Sleigh ride with tequila, Midori, and pineapple. Don’t sleep on the frozen Eggnog, which is a frosty, boozy winner." - Ellen Fort
"This Nations hotspot dispenses some of Nashville’s best pizza from “Enrico,” a four-ton coal-fired oven. Alongside classic margherita, signature pies like the Aces High (with crushed meatballs, mozz, and pecorino), and dippable garlic bread, Nicky’s offers kids their choice of butter or red-sauce noodles to enjoy with a side of vanilla Italian soda. Every Monday starting at 4 p.m. is family night where kids 12 and under eat free and grown-ups can enjoy $5 select drinks." - Ellen Fort
"In the case of this Nation’s favorite, it is both the food and the atmosphere that contribute to its popularity. The menu is primarily pasta and coal-fired pizza, plus craft cocktails, wines, and beer. Pizzas are coated in a red or white sauce before being topped with surprising combinations of meat, seasonal veggies, and cheese." - Kellie Walton
"Over in the Nations, Nicky’s Coal Fired is throwing a family-friendly cookie decorating party on Sunday, December 17 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. as part of its St. Nicky’s holiday pop-up experience. The ticketed event will include hot cocoa, a cookie decorating station, Olaf from Frozen for the kids, and a mimosa and bloody mary bar for the adults. Tickets can be purchased here." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
