    The pizza here is great! It was crispy in all the right spots. Wednesday was half price large pizzas, came out to like $10. I will say the service was slow. But it was worth it for that pizza.

    We found in our limited time in Detroit-this to be the best pizza we ate while there. The combinations for toppings were unique and service was quick and friendly. They will do half and half in large pizzas if you can’t quite decide on a particular flavor combination.

    We were looking for the Detroit style pizza. This Greek restaurant did surprise us very nicely. We had a salad with a very good dressing and the pizza was delicious. Dress chrunchy but soft and soooo cheesy. People at the next table ordered some appetizer and the waiter would put it on fire in front of us. Next time... I'm looking forward to it ;)

    Warning: Niki’s Pizza will sell you a burnt pizza and refuse to replace it when you notify them, EVEN when you bring the pizza back! We ordered takeout on a Wednesday night and got home to discover both pizzas were considerably overcooked. We called them back that night but could not get through over the phone. I encouraged my son to take the pizzas back (one of which had slices missing because my son didn’t think it was that bad until it became apparent that it was only getting worse) because an establishment like Niki’s should never have allowed those pizzas to leave the restaurant. When he arrived, he was told nothing could be done about the half-eaten because he had eaten half of it. While I still feel like they could have at least replaced them with four slices, he accepted their offer to replace the other full pizza despite the inconvenience of having to drive 30 minutes back to the restaurant. But here is where the insult gets added to the injury: my son was told at 3 pm that there was no manager available and he would have to “come back” after 6 pm. No manager available? COME BACK AGAIN? Seriously? Despite the young lady at the front desk advocating for my son, imploring the guy in the kitchen to just replace the pizza, he refused. Of course, we weren’t going to waste another hour for a $15 pizza. Lesson learned. Moral of the story: fellow patrons, let’s stop giving our hard-earned money away to establishments that would be willing to box and sell an overtly overcooked/burnt pizza and refuse to replace it when called on it.

    After an 8 hour drive from Wisconsin this was literally our first stop. Before the hotel or anything else... Niki's. It had been faaaar too long since our last slice 10 years ago and we needed to make up for lost time. We've had Detroit style pizza all over the country (our favorite) but nothing and i do mean NOTHING comes close. Each bite is absolutely PERFECT! The crunch of the crust, the incredible dough and sauce...so...good. The ingredients are fantastic and during our weekend stay we had at least 3 pizzas and brought home 4 (that didn't last long) and we regret not getting more. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF GOING TO DETROIT ANF NOT GETTING SOME NIKI'S! BEST! BEST! BEST! DETROIT PIZZA IN THE WORLD!

    Probably the best deep-dish pizza in Detroit. Service was pretty good too. Great place to dine for lunch. Only four (4) slices for a small size but it is more than enough for one customer.

    This pizza did not disappoint. Visiting on a work trip from Austin Texas. Had to try the local square deep dish pizza that Detroit is famous for. So good. The wait staff was supper friendly and the service was exceptional. The inside of the restaurant was so charming. FYI. Wednesday is 1/2 price pizza night. Love love love this place.

    Can I tell you if it's 100% authentic Greek food? Nope. No idea. Was it great food, good portions and friendly service? Dang Skippy!

    Walked here after a Tigers game for Detroit Style Pizza (15 min walk). Worth it! Unfortunately they were only doing carry-out that late which wasn’t indicated online, but they gave us plates and napkins so we took our Meatlovers Pizza treasure to go and ate it at our hotel. I would recommend calling before you make the walk, so if they are carry out it can be ready when you get there :-) Since it’s a Greek restaurant I’d love to come back and try one of their other pizzas with lamb and feta (someone next to us ordered). I bet it’s divine. Great find with tons of indoor seating, so if they are doing dine-in, i would check that out. Thanks Niki’s & Detroit!

    The pizza was absolutely fantastic. I would come here again! What made this dining experience more pleasant was the fun and respectful interaction with our server. The one thing I did not like were that the entryways were a challenge because there is a HUGE step just to get in the building and out. Anyone with leg, foot, ankle, or back issues will find it to be a challenge, difficult, or maybe impossible to enter this restaurant without assistance. Based on my observation, if you use a wheelchair, you will NOT be able to enter this restaurant.

    Overall, this place was great. Service was quick and friendly but there definitely seemed to be a little bit of confusion of table/section assignments which then lead to some confusion of whose dishes/drinks were whose. The food itself was awesome; the portions were large and had good value. The drinks were okay. Service was very, very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere and vibe were very enjoyable.

    Stopped by Nikki's Greek Pizza and was immediately taken by its charming old-school atmosphere. I had their famous Feta Pizza, and it was some of the best pizza I have ever had; The drinks were great as well. If you're in the mood for pizza then Nikki's Greek Pizza should be your go-to!

    One of the Top 10 pizza joints in the Motor City. Old school Detroit Square Pizza with a good variety of fresh toppings to choose from. I do recommend.

    It was my first time eating here and I had a fantastic lunch. For $6.50 you get two good sizes of pizza that is filling but delicious as well. The service was pretty good. I honestly would see myself coming more for the pizza though they have a good menu. Clean/great atmosphere, I will definitely be coming back.

    I never like giving bad reviews yet I don’t want people to waste their money. Although the staff was really great the food was terrible. I’m sorry the only star is for the lovely waitress

  • 3/5 HaiDera H. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent place, first time going. My friends and I sat on the patio and the people watching was funny!! I only ordered fries because I had already eaten. My friends ordered chicken kabobs with rice and we all kinda just picked off each other's plate. Food was decent and so were the drinks.

  • 4/5 Erica J. 2 years ago on Google
    We really enjoy this place: food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Only reason I give 4 stars is because whenever I call the phone is busy; when I enter the restaurant, however, the phone is simply laying on one of the counters beeping! In other words, the employees have the phone off its hook and are not taking orders. Otherwise, the establishment is a good, family-friendly place for a bite to eat!

  • 5/5 Genti K. 4 months ago on Google
    The square pizza with pepperoni was incredible and perfectly cooked. The best Detroit style pizza I've ever had. The employees were very friendly, the service was very good and we got our food quickly. The restaurant is also very nice inside and has a nice atmosphere. Overall, this is my favorite pizza restaurant in Detroit. 5/5 stars.

    1st time there. Stopped in after a Lions game for a quick bite to eat and drink. Super awesome! The pizza is fantastic. Had one piece (huge) and salad. We will be back.

    Waited about 45 minutes before anyone even talked to us, several other groups came and went due to lack of attention. The place was at about 30 percent capacity, but like everywhere else, maybe they're short staffed? Got the tzatziki app. It came as a huge plate of sauce (probably 1.5 cups) and a single pita sliced into wedges. My son had a gyro, it was frozen gyro meat, the kind that is sliced off of a loaf. I had the dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) which were tasty but there were only 4 on the plate. There are 3 beers on tap. An 18% gratuity was automatically added for our group of 4. Absolutely nothing makes me want to return.

    We got the super pizza, minus the green pepper. Very yummy!

    The HUMMUS!!!! Niki's still does not disappoint. Curb patio is great for people watching. Loved the staff!! Greentown on Friday night; nothing like it!!

  • 4/5 Nolan R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very good and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Definitely give this place a try. I made the mistake of walking past this place a couple of times.

  • 4/5 Jerry B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had not had a Niki's pizza in 20 yrs and was not disappointed. It's as great as it always was. Now I ordered a take out since the wait for a table would be 30 minutes. No problem since we were leaving the Lions game and wanted to go home anyway. Only thing is they need more effective take out procedures. After 20 minutes the lady that took my order was now off so I ask the young lady that seemed overwhelmed though not much was happening how will I know when my pizza is ready as I didn't give a name or anything. She looked at my receipt and went to the kitchen and said they just needed to cut it, ok. 5-10 minutes later she brings out a box and sat it on the side counter. So I'm still standing next to the register there and finally ask her is that mine? She acts like I'd never inquired about anything and handed me the box. Huh So please just start putting numbers or something on your take out receipts and call the number when it's ready, simple. Went home and enjoyed delicious pizza...

    We went on New Year's Day and it was a little quiet, but the staff was friendly. Our server was a little slow but I think he was new. I ordered the two-slice special with Greek salad. The salad was great but the slices had been sitting for a while and weren't particularly good. My friends ordered a veggie pizza, a burger and fries and their food was great. My food is usually good, so just a miss this day, I suppose. Niki's is a historic place in the D and I was happy to take friends there for their first time. Maybe 5 stars next time.

  • 5/5 Robyn R. 1 year ago on Google
    We were visiting Detroit & wanted to try Detroit style pizza. It was a Tuesday night around 7 p.m. Niki's was around the corner from our hotel so we walked over. Business was very slow so I was worried it wouldn't be good. I was wrong! The service and food were both wonderful. Had a Greek Salad for 1 (but shared, it was humongous! ) and ordered a small pizza. The server apologized as she entered a large, which is what she served us, but we were still charged for a small. One warning-the sausage is not an Italian style crumble, to me, it was a polska kielbasa style sliced up & placed under the cheese.

    Wish that I had kept walking with my friend. The food was not good. The service was good and the ambiance on the sidewalk level seating was good though.

  • 4/5 Kenneth Herberger J. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and good service. Picked up party order for 14ppl. Arrived early and order was quickly made and put together. Asked for plates and plastic ware which were provided with no hassle. Think the manager took care of getting order. Only reason I honestly can't give a 5 star...it was a weekend and with covid... restaurant was not busy. Not sure service would have been the same.

  • 2/5 Black C. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent food as always. But I noticed a service fee on my bill. 18% service fee. For what? Just call my name I'll pick up my own drinks and food from your kitchen I don't need service that costs me 18% no matter how great or bad my server is. I did not tip the great waitress I had because of this. Next time I'm here I'm not going to ask for a waitress.

  • 3/5 Ijs0728 2 years ago on Google
    I love their pizza, been coming here for years but now the girls they have working there have bad customer service. They're never knowledgeable about anything pertaining to the restaurant and I mean very basic things like store hours and policies. They hate answering questions and get a attitude when asking them. I wish they'll hire more mature staff that don't mind doing the job they were hired for. Other than that I would give 5 stars.
