This warm and inviting family restaurant builds a fabulous pizza that will stuff you to the gills and leave you with enough pie left over to take home for breakfast the next morning. Even the thin crust is thick and chewy. Their small pizza is massive, easily feeding four people for reasonable price. The topping selections include all the usual options, but the Italian sausage and pepperoni are unforgettable: a perfect balance of crust, sauce, meat and cheese.
DeNicola's does custom pizzas as well, and goes out of its way to accommodate vegetarians; a favorite combo is the Hawaiian without the ham -- pineapple and onion. They also feature excellent antipasto, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parmigiana and lasagna. Traditional and classic entrees include linguine, rigatoni, gnocchi, fettucine and an array of chicken dishes. A children's menu with soups, salads and pizza is available and adds to the child-friendly factor. -- Jo Ostgarden

Add CommentGreat food at great price
Their spaghetti sauce is one of the few in town that has favor. Not just tomato sauce. Garlic bread is loaded. All at low prices.
Good Food, Family Friendly
De Nicola's is one of those old, neighborhood Itlaian restaurants that has really good basic Italian food, great prices and just the right atmosphere. The Tortellini we had was al dente, sauce was tasty, and the wine selection was quite good. OK, this is not gourmet Italian, but who cares! It was tasty, fun and very comfortable.
The staff, waitstaff and setting was also very family friendly. We dined with a 2 1/2 year old and 4 month old without any difficulty. It was a pleasure with the assistance that the staff were ready to give. We'll be back many times.Horrible Service- fair food

My girlfriends thought this would be a good place for a baby shower- (I did too) Boy were we wrong. The waitress was RUDE. In fact if my gratuity wasn't included in my bill, I would have probably not tipped her (very unusual for me).
The food was decent, but if you could go somewhere else and get better service, I would suggest doing just that.Sauce with a kick
The sauce has a bit of spice to it which was good. I didn't try the pizza unfornately but the pasta dish I had was very good. The service was very friendly. I would eat there again but I would like to try the pizza.

ok food, ok atmosphere. There is better out there but this place is cheap and easy family italian. The sauce does sort of taste out of a can though!
not very authentic
I'm from NYC, born and raised and sorry to say but this tastes like cheep, out of the can, immitation italian. Not anywhere close to what i'm used to. My advice -stay away unless you don't mind the cheep sauce and tastless garlic bread. If this place was in my old neighborhood they'd be laughed outta town!
Mmm Mmm Good!
I tried it because I was driving by and saw a restaurant with my name. Best pizza in the world! Not a real posh establishment, but who cares when a small pizza can feed 2 big men. I just don't care to have a strip bar right out the door to walk by with your kids. Other than that, I love it. Great food.
If you like cafeteria food...

My boyfriend and I were looking for a homestyle Italian restaurant and decided to try DeNicola's. It was the WORST Italian food we have ever experienced. Please do not have your evening ruined as we did.
Rude & Unsanitary
I can't recommend this place. The waitresses are very rude and need daily baths, not once a week whether they need it or not!
