A few months ago a new restaurant opened in down town San Pedro. J was rather excited about the opening because he was petty sure that the owner was the same guy as a previous pizzeria that he liked. I am told the pizza was fantastic until it was sold and the new owners didn’t do as good of a job.
We went to Niko’s Pizzeria the same weekend it opened and the food was delicious. We have been back a few times and even ordered their pizza to go. We are a huge fan of their Greek pizza. Speaking of all things Greek, one of the owners who is a chef and the mastermind behind the menu is Nick who is of Greek heritage. If you are lucky you will perhaps meet his mom Connie who is a character and super funny. The first night we went there she actually sat and chatted with us for a while.
Every time that we went I always forgot to bring my camera with me, but not last Tuesday, I went prepared!! J and I went for a long walk with Indi prior to walking to the restaurant…we were both very hungry…and went a little crazy. We started with some PBR beer. Now I know it is a light beer and well not very foofoo, but I like it…and I wanted something light. Oh, and it comes in a nice frozen schooner!! So we started with the Potato Skin Nachos…
The deliciousness above was followed by our main dishes which came with either soup or salad and garlic bread. I got the salad and J got the soup which was Minestrone:
I ordered the Seafood Linguini (crab meat lobster, shrimp and clams, sautéed with garlic cream sauce, served over linguini pasta) which was good. J got the Tortellini Salad (cheese filled tortellini served cold, tossed with pesto, red onions, roasted peppers, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, bacon bits on a bed of sautéed spinach) which was very different and YUMMY!
Just in case you are wondering, yes, we did take home leftovers!
Other dishes that I have tried which were awesome are Shrimp Scampi, Chicken BBQ pizza, and Fried Calamari. While their pizza is not the real Italian style pizza, the dough is delicious and the quality of the food is really good. You’ve got to love a place where they make their own ranch dressing from scratch! 
If you are in the area, you must check it out!!

Nice Review! Went to this place..its pretty good..But the only thing I disagree on is the previous restaurant that he owned part of. The place is called Big Nicks and its great too! That place is always busy! Try it for yourself, I think its better now then it ever was!
Yeah Nikos Pizzeria Is great I would have to agree, I used to go to Big Nicks All the time Got to know the owner Big Nick, His food there was allways great when he was there. But One thing i need to disagree with you george was that once he left they changed things all away around. The calamari was not the same, the wings were baked not deep fried and the calamari was premade and frozen rings. They did something to there pizza and sauce and dough I think it was that pizza hut pizza oven the new owner got Big Nick Used to to it on stone not on a convayor belt pizza oven makes a whole lot of difference. the cold cuts big nicks used to use were boars head now they use some cheap as turkey and roast beef and still charge the same price as nick did when he was there. But other then that I like the deocr the pictures are a conversation piece.
thanks
I Love this place, I eat here almost every week. I suggest the Pizza, it is the best in San Pedro.
Thanks for the comment Hungry Lawyer! Guess where I had dinner tonight?? Niko’s is awesome! I love their Greek Pizza!
