Having been to Italy and coming from a large Italian family (with an Italian mom who cooks every second of the day), I am a little picky when it comes to Italian food. Nicks Pizza is by far my most favorite Italian in Southern California! The atmosphere is very typical of a small family run restaurant you would find in Rome and the portions are the perfect size. When you ask for ""house red wine,"" it is actually has a nice tasting, freshly opened glass taste, as opposed to tasting like one that has been open for weeks which I seem to get a lot. I highly recommed this restaurant to anyone looking for a casual dining experience and a good plate of spaghetti or slice of pizza. We have also celebrated 2 birthdays here and the staff is more than accomodating to larger groups. The only drawback is they are closed on Sunday! I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Try the Penne with Vodka sauce or the Linguine w/shrimp along with a simple glass of house red and you will be good to go!
Pros: Pizza, wine and pasta
Cons: Closed on Sunday
