It's
been
awhile
since
I've
been
to
Nick's.
I
always
remember
driving
past
it
as
a
kid.
Inside
of
the
restaurant
things
are
pretty
standard.
Greenish
blue
booths
filled
the
landscape.
Luckily
on
Fridays
they
are
open
until
9pm
so
I
could
sit
&
enjoy
things.
The
giant
slices
are
around
$6.
I
settled
for
a
slice
of
sausage
&
an
italian
beef
(dipped
of
course.)
The
order
came
out
to
be
around
$19.
The
signs
said
free
soda
with
any
pizza
slice,
but
they
didn't
give
me
one
(it
might
be
situation
where
if
you
don't
ask
then
more
money
for
them.)
They
got
my
order
out
in
under
five
minutes.
The
pizza
wasn't
fresh
which
is
what
I
expected
since
it
was
the
end
of
the
day,
but
it
was
warm.
The
pizza
is
solid,
but
doesn't
really
stand
out.
It's
your
typical
pizza
you'll
find
almost
anywhere
in
Chicago.
It
was
almost
perfectly
cooked
&
sliced
which
a
uniformity
that's
rare.
You
can
tell
they've
been
doing
this
for
a
LONG
time.
The
italian
beef
was
disappointing.
Everything
was
bland
&
there
was
barely
any
cheese.
When
you
have
he
beef
dipped,
it's
because
you
want
that
savory
beef
juice
to
light
your
tastebuds
up.
Instead
the
juice
tasted
like
water
that
they
used
to
thaw
the
beef
out
in
(akin
to
hotdog
water)
which
is
sacrilegious.
Where's
the
seasoning?
There
was
plenty
of
sweet
peppers
though,
but
I
suggest
getting
giardinera
in-order
to
at
least
get
some
flavor
going.
Overall,
Nick's
pizza
&
beef
is
a
middle
of
the
road
restaurant.
It
isn't
bad,
but
it
definitely
isn't
good
either.
Even
the
restaurant's
decor
doesn't
do
much
to
inspire
you.
It
won't
break
the
bank,
but
you
do
expect
at
least
fries
with
a
sandwich
which
they
don't
seem
to
do
here.
The
food
could
also
use
some
spice,
but
at
least
the
staff
is
nice.
