6169 Quinpool Road Halifax
Nick-N-Willy’s Pizza is tucked into the Quinpool centre, with the entrance up a couple stairs and leading onto Quinpool road. On the outside, they have a few chairs and tables with umbrella’s set up to accommodate customers on sunny days, and the typical inside setup for those wetter and colder days.
Nick-N-Willy’s is a different type of pizza joint, being part of a larger chain across North America, with locations in Canada and the US. Nick-N-Willy’s makes premade pizzas that you can take home and bake, or you can order and they’ll cook it up for you.
We ordered a pepperoni pizza on a Friday afternoon, and in no time at all we were sitting down enjoying our pizza. It was served to us on a thin metal pizza pan, with smaller individual sized pizza pans used as plates. The pizza looked good, and was a thinner crust than most places offer.
The dough is one of the first things to stand out. Nick-N-Willy’s uses a gas-fired brick oven, and you can tell with its fired baked flavor. The crust is nice and crispy, and very delicious.
Another stand out ingredient of the pizza is the cheese. Nick-N-Willy’s uses a fresh feta and fontina cheese mixture, and tops the pizza with the perfect amount. The quality of the cheese was easy to discern. It was full of flavor, was nice and stringy, and didn’t have any pools of grease.
The sauce on the pizza was also of high quality. It was spread evenly over the dough - not too think or too thin. The mixture of tomatoes and spices used in the sauce could all be tasted, added to an already thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Nick-N-Willy’s Pizza gets a well deserved 4/5. Their pizza delivered the whole package. From dough to toppings, it was a pizza that stands above the rest.
