Nick's Chicken House & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Ontario

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. The chicken was tender and juicy, the flavor was amazing and the crisp was just right. Look, put it this way, there are two other fried chicken franchises in Pembroke both very close to Nick's, one is actually across the street and Nick's is still standing strong. That should tell you something about how good the chicken is at Nick's. 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. 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. 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. It's a great little store, mainly take out, it is very clean, has easy parking, the food is incredible and the staff is polite, helpful...

A heatwave is a great excuse to get out of cooking! Tonight, we decided to order a pizza from Nick's. This historic local takeout was purchased by a local family just a couple of years ago, knowing that they have big shoes to fill! Using the same quality ingredients of the previous owner, the founder, and applying the same techniques for thie pizza, chicken, subs, lasagna, and other menu items, they are establishing themselves quite well!! I ordered a 4 ingredients medium pizza, as noted on the box. This pizza was absolutely bang on with the quality we were expecting, and it tasted delicious! The crust was just perfect. The sauce was just enough and really tasty. All ingredients were plentiful, and the ooey, gooey, top-quality cheese was simply divine!! Their macaroni salad, with a touch of dill in it, is my new favorite! The counter service by Amanda was really friendly and efficient. The waiting area inside the restaurant is clean and bright! Congratulations to Laurie and her family. Obviously, you got this!! My family, one of hundreds, is so grateful to be able to order from Nick's Chicken House and Pizzeria and know that our hard earned money is well spent and we can enjoy the same ole fare that we became accustomed to, growing up in the...

I love chicken - could eat it everyday so, I’m always on the lookout for a good quality chicken restaurant. My husband and I went to Nick’s shortly after we moved to the area and I can say - this is the absolute best chicken out of the countless restaurants that I have gone to specifically for chicken.

The chicken is beautifully cooked, moist, tender, full of flavour and - most importantly - I eat it all. I am a super fussy eater so to say I eat it all is a huge compliment. On another note - Nick’s has an excellent poutine. I upgrade my fries to poutine - most excellent combo with the chicken.

Staff are friendly and welcoming.

I would love to see them expand to have more eat-in space. Other than this, I strongly recommend Nick’s to anyone that enjoys exceptional, flavourful, moist chicken - cooked perfectly every time. If you’re a chicken fan - look no further than Nick’s.

My husband is a pizza fan and usually gets the Hawaiian pizza - it is another excellent menu choice. If you like dip with your pizza - Nick’s has a number of “made in house” options. Like all of Nick’s food -...
