Just a couple of days ago I posted an article about the best pizza in Southern California and my friend Sean suggested we check out Nick’s Pizza in Costa Mesa. \u00a0Little did I know that Gustavo Arellano<\/a> from OC Weekly<\/a> was also going to recommend Nick’s in this week’s Hole in the Wall article in the weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Nick's<\/a>
Nick's Pizza Medium Pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nick’s has been business for over 40 years and from my understanding little has changed other than their location. \u00a0Pizza is one of my favorite things to eat although it’s one of the most difficult foods for my wife and I to agree on. \u00a0We usually just order Round Table Pizza for delivery since it’s the only pizza that we can agree on together and they are pretty\u00a0consistent. \u00a0But being the food adventurer that I am, I like to push the envelope and attempt to discover other pizza places that we can both agree on. \u00a0Will Nick’s be one we can both love?<\/p>\n

We ordered our usual pizza, pepperoni, along with roasted garlic. \u00a0If a pizza place can’t make a good pepperoni pizza they have no reason to be making pizzas. \u00a0After about 15 minutes our pizza arrived piping hot from the oven. \u00a0The pizza appeared to be 14 inches wide, with a GBD (golden brown and\u00a0delicious) looking crust. \u00a0With the first look you couldn’t really see many of the toppings, because they cover the toppings with the cheese.<\/p>\n

\"Nick's<\/a>
Nick's Pizza Lotsa Cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Talking about the cheese, there was a lot of cheese on the pizza. \u00a0Usually I love cheese, but I felt it overshadowed the other toppings. \u00a0My first slice of pizza came with a ball of cheese on the side. \u00a0The sauce wasn’t the usual type of sauce I enjoy, it was sort of sweet and a not as thick as I tend to like, but it still cured my pizza cravings. \u00a0Mrs. DanGarion likes pizza with a crispy crunch to the crust, and her first slice had just the crunch she was looking for. \u00a0But as the pizza rested and the sauce and cheese grease settled the middle of the pizza because soggy, which turned her off.<\/p>\n

Service was good, the waiter and bus boy were both very attentive to our needs and with refilling our drinks.<\/p>\n

Overall it was an average pizza. \u00a0If we ordered a pizza from Nick’s in the future we would probably ask for less cheese, and I would make sure the Mrs. took both her slices at the start to try to keep them from getting soggy. \u00a0We definitely would come back again and try their Italian entrees.<\/p>\n\n
