Best Pizza -- Chicago Style

Nicolo's Chicago Style Pizza

A A A Comments (5) Thursday, Mar 27 2003

It's tough to find a good taste of the Windy City out here on the wrong side of the Midwest. A decent vendor's-cart hot dog with ballpark mustard and all the trimmings? Good luck. Pepper and sausage (pronounced "sassage") like old Ma used to make? Forget it. But if you're looking for a good Chicago-style deep-dish pizza and aren't quite ready to hop a flight for a real Gino's East double-cheese pie, try Nicolo's Chicago Style Pizza. With a thick, chewy crust loaded deep with toppings, sweet tomato sauce with just a little bite, and fresh ingredients laid on all the way out to the rolled edges, Nicolo's is doing the Second City proud. Plus, Nicolo's offers a margherita (white) pie layered with provolone, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil and tomato; a thirteen-inch EBA (Everything But Anchovy) version for just $13.95; and a whole host of other Italian specialties for those of you who think that man can't live on pizza alone.

This reviewer must have never actually gone to Nicolo's as there is no deep dish there... Its huge and much more New York style. Don't really get why its called Chicago Deep dish if its served on a huge new york style thin crust...

Tried it once and I though the pizza was good. Nothing to write home about, but a decent pie. I was a little put off by the fact that they won't honor the coupons post on their website. The guy gave me some story about how their web developer left the site with the coupons on it and disappeared without giving them access to the domain or content...whatever. This was almost two years ago and the specials are still on the website. Other places honor their specials so I'd rather just go elsewhere.

Horrible Pizza. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and this is in no way a Chicago pizza. Waste of money waste of time. PLEASE REMOVE ANY REFERENCE TO CHICAGO IN YOUR ADVERTISING.

Over 7 years later and still some of the best pizza to be had in Denver.

I tried Nicolo's in Lakewood in an attempt to try all the local pizza places and I am very disappointed. This pizza is not good at all. The crust of Nicolo's pizza can best be described as a frozen microwave pizza crust with no flavor. the crust was a uniform dark black/brown color that looks and tasted like cardboard. Pizza crust is the foundation of all pizzas and should set the pallette for all the rest of the toppings (including sauce). If the crust is bad then why build a pizza on top of it at all? After one piece, my family decided to order a large cheese pizza from Guido's in Lakewood in order to save the night from total disappointment. Nicolo's pizza was a wast of $16 and an hour of time which I could have been eating Guido's. Pass this one by, you'll be glad.
