While visiting Pembroke I found this gem! Nick's has been at this same location since 1969, I had their fried chicken for dinner one night and I went back the next day to try their pizza. The 3 piece chicken meal was incredible and the gravy put a smile on my face. I could tell the recipe for the gravy was from an old school Greek diner chef, made from scratch with the right ingredients. You can't find gravy like that anymore, not even in some of the old school Greek/Italian diners.
After that experience I just knew I had to go back for the pizza.
First thing is first, old school stone oven! Not garbage conveyor oven, so I knew their pizza was going to be much better then the average. Second everything they make is from scratch from the dough to the sauce and the dips.
I didn't get any toppings although I'm sure they are great but I like my pizza Portnoy style. They gave me two of their home made dips to try, one tasted like a buffalo BBQ sauce and the other was like a tzatziki or garlic dip, they were both great. I preferred the tzatziki but that's just personal preference.
The pizza didn't disappoint, it was far from the franchise garbage. It is definitely in the 8's and my scale is the same as Portnoys scale so if the owner is reading this, 8.3 is a monster score.
Next time I go back to Pembroke, I will check out the chicken wings and their old school submarine sandwiches.
If you're in Pembroke please check this place out, you won't be disappointed.
