“ Tucked in the back of the Metro Center and small but excellent pizza, friendly staff and owner and very neat and clean. I highly recommend the pizza!! ”
“ Excellent pizza! All fresh ingredients that you can take home and bake or have them cook it and eat there. Boulder, CO thinks they are hip because they have N&W, I've been to both and this one is just as cool, tucked back in the corner of the Metro Centre, fun atmosphere and friendly employees. Lots of good signature pizzas to choose from or build your own. Great for your event or just a family meal! ”
“ Excellent pizza. The pizza scene in Peoria is a pretty mixed bag, but this stuff at Nick n Willys is good and very special. ”
“ The food was good We got the Nell (bbq chicken) and a veggie ..... and left no crumbs - the dough tasted so fresh ”
“ This is the BEST pizza I had since moving to Peoria. The service was great too. We ordered a Margherita, Old Fashioned and a Sante Fe Chicken. All three were absolutely delicious. The crust was perfect and all three pizzas were generously topped. We are definitely making this our regular pizza place. ”
“ I ordered my pizza to be cooked and then I picked it up. It was fresh hot and baked perfectly. ”
“ Came in last weekend and wanted to try this place, as I have seen it a million times when in the plaza, and thought I'd give it a whirl. Ordered a Susage and a Pepperoni baked (as you can also supposedly take and bake circa Papa Murphy's) and picked them up in store. Staff was friendly and welcoming. When I walked in, there were probably six or so people sitting inside eating and another two or three, plus myself, getting orders to go. Place was clean and seemed pretty lively, with employees working and chatting pleasantly with the customers as they made their orders. Pizzas were good. There was a ton of susage and pepperoni (see pictures below). The sauce ratio was perfect and the crust was nice and perfectly chewy (in a good way). Overall a good experience and would come back. If you are not familiar with the location or plaza, it is hidden in the very back corner next to Sushi Popo (or Sushi Ko as the sign says). ”
“ Tried this place because my regular spot had computer problems and couldn't take orders! It's tucked waaaay in the back of a huge strip mall, took me a minute to find it. We did take-out and it was clear that these all came out of the oven at different times. Other than that, the food quality was great. The Aegean pizza for me and my wife was really quite good. We have a sausade pizza for the kids and it went over very well. The order of cheesy bread had a layer of this incredible tasting cheese sauce on it. It was a mess to eat, but man was it GOOD! Gave 4 stars only because the food temperature was lacking on half our order, but food taste and quality was great. Will likely try the take-and-bake option next time. If you haven't had it, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. ”
“ Great pizza and great people! I love the Fresh Jalapeno Burn with spicy olive glaze and chicken, I might go as far to say this is my favorite pizza ever. The vegetables are so fresh and generously applied, this particular pizza really explodes with flavor. Each time I go in to order my take and bake, I am greeted with a smile and treated with sincere kindness by everyone there. The kind of place you want to visit over and over. I don't know if anyone still Yelps but as I enjoyed my pizza again this evening, I had to share. ”
“ Note: this review applies to both Peoria locations, which I find interchangeable. You know the saying about pizza and sex, right? Well, BS. Bad pizza is bad, and I won't have it. Thus, I'm pretty reluctant to order pizza in a restaurant, and a chain? Yikes, I dunno. But this place is good. The crust isn't quite as crisp or thin as I like, but it's got a wonderful flavor. The variety and quality of toppings is really excellent, and they've got a wonderful selection of signature pizzas, including a couple very tasty veggie ones (hurray!). They are heavy, heavy, heavy on the cheese, to the point where I really think it detracts from the pizza, but when I ordered light on the cheese, it came out absolutely perfect. When I leave Nick N Willys, I really feel satisfied with the meal I just had. It's good stuff. The prices are pretty high here, which I think is actually totally justified by the care they take with the pizzas and the great toppings, but by all means, seek out some of the awesome coupons available to score a great price. We got a large signature pizza for ten bucks on Sunday - a serious deal. ”
