Since 2002, Nick's has operated as a family-run Yorkville institution best known for thin-crust pies but quietly turning out substantial baked lasagna from the same oven. With well over a thousand multi-platform reviews and a full bar, it works as both a neighborhood pizza stop and a sit-down red-sauce Italian for families and groups.

Oven-Baked Meat Lasagna, Thin-Crust Margherita Pizza, Chicken Parmigiana
