Thin-crust pies, calzones, and cannolis served in vintage surroundings
"Founded in 1993, this family-owned pizzeria is famous for their cannolis, thin-crust pies, homemade sausages and meatballs. Nick’s Pizza is a neighborhood favorite, with its charming environment and decor and plenty of seating for small groups. Dine in or grab a pie to go. Many movies have been shot on location here!" - Rachel Kaminetzky & Nicole David
"The charred, thin-crust pies at this neighborhood spot in Forest Hills are big, but even with oily pepperoni cups that cover about 80% of the surface, the pizzas are light snacks compared to the calzones. You’d be happy with either, but if you have roommates or empty fridge space, order both by calling the restaurant at 212 987-5700." - team infatuation
"Movie Pairing:Rock ‘n’ Roll High School (Hulu) “They do not make movies like Rock ‘n’ Roll High School anymore. I know this for a fact, because The Ramones no longer make appearances in generic teen comedies. The plot here is simple: a strict new principal shows up at Vince Lombardi High School, and it’s up to self-described “rock and roller” high school student Riff Randel to save the day. Joey Ramone serenades her with “I Want You Around” at one point, and, even though it’s a fantasy sequence, it’s still kind of creepy - but let’s not dwell on that. I very much think you should watch this movie while eating some food from Forest Hills, the neighborhood where the Ramones grew up. The thin, crispy pies from Nick’s Pizza are some of the best in the city, and they’re currently open for pickup and delivery.” -BK" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, hillary reinsberg, arden shore
"We can easily envision a lifetime movie that ends with a touching scene of a father-daughter duo sharing a pepperoni pie at Nick’s Pizza in Forest Hills. We’d see them sitting in a blue booth with a formica table, while a wall clock ticks to signify the passage of time. Let these fictional characters be an example to you and all of your family members. Nick’s makes excellent thin (and large) pies, but the crispy calzone might be better - it looks like a massive grilled cheese sandwich." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
"Nick’s is a neighborhood spot with formica tables and vinyl booths, and serves crispy thin-crust pies topped with fresh mozzarella. You can also get flattened calzones that are sort of like big grilled cheese sandwiches, and you definitely want one of those in addition to your pizza. They don’t do slices, so plan to share everything with a few other people." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, matt tervooren
