Nick’s has been serving self-proclaimed “traditional thin crust pizza” since 1969. While it’s a little thicker than true thin crust, it’s certainly light as a feather. The slices go down very easily, like water. The dough has pretty good flavor, a firm undercarriage, minimal flop, not paper thin, but just thin enough, leading to a crunchy crust with excellent texture. The cheese is also thinnish, semi-creamy, a notch above average, melted very well. The problem lies within the sauce, not regarding flavor but in terms of quantity. The bulk of the sauce is huddled near the crust, extremely scant underneath the cheese. The flavor is somewhat hard to gauge due to the lack of sauce, but the amount shouldering the crust is delicious. Aside from the dearth of sauce, the rest of the ingredients are incredibly solid and salvage the overall score. Another smattering of sauce could easily boost this rating to the upper 7s and potentially low 8s. There’s room for improvement and plenty to work with here.
