Nico’s Brothers Pizzeria NY Pizza — Restaurant in Kendall

The Good, the Bad & Ugly!😋😵🤣

This location was my favorite pizza place for approximately 15+ years. In the mid 2000's when Town & Country mall was somewhat run down, and before 24hr Fitness came to this shopping center after the movie theaters closed ; Two Brother was the place to go for good pizza and pasta. Since the renovations for the shopping center property began around 4-6 years ago this Pizzeria started moving from a family oriented small window counter pizza parlor, to a more trendy outside walkway sitting.

The Good😋: They still make descent pizza. Not what it used to be, but acceptable. This is normal when businesses grow, is impossible to maintain a small shop quality with high volume. The facade of the old window counter has been changed to either order and eat standing up or sit in the shopping hallway walkway where they have added tables. The customer service is friendly and a very small air conditioned sitting area remains inside the store. I still like to go by, once in a while.

The Bad😵: The small shop (used to be a New York Style ambiance) is long gone! Is now more of a trendy Miami style pizza shop; Seems like there is new management or something has changed... 😜

I have always felt a LOT of respect for the original owner (Italian native) was kind of an moody and sometimes unpleasant type of personality, but then again he was there 7 days a week and took good care of his pizzeria! Yes... there was a time that I stopped by for great pizza every other day, long ago!

The Ugly🤣: Today 8/6/2017, I stopped after about a year! The pizza is still GOOD, not great as it used to be! Also, much smaller slice and a Pepsi: $6.00

Just Maybe... if at least they would serve the New York slice size... but Today! I found NO VALUE. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed.

Nothing lasts forever! I am now a vegan, so to break ranks for a good New York Style pizza treat is a big deal, and a must have once in a while!!! I will place Two brothers pizza on the shelf, bypass my experience today and simply remember what they used to be!

I will ignore the high prices and the small slices Today! And sincerely remain optimistic that the original owner in the least can now rest and enjoy the fruits of his efforts.

There will always be new customers, they will settle for what I experienced today. But then again, they will never get to experience the Two Brothers I enjoyed for many years!

Cheers,...

*No Response from owner * it’s been a couple of months and no response. That’s how much they value their customers. Unbelievable

I must admit the pizza is very good but the last time I went which was about 3 weeks ago I saw something that really grossed me out. As I was waiting for my pizza I saw this young kid in the back where they prepare the dough and form it into balls. He was at his station, but instead of facing the station table and kneading the dough over the work station, he was completely turned around leaning against the table, almost like playing with the dough with his bare hands. He was just casually massaging the dough and completely turned around and conversing with the other employees. I understand that it is customary to kneed the dough with bare hands but to do it so casually and just doing in in a manner that looks like you are playing with the dough, is gross to me. I still think if he is just shaping it into balls then he should wear some thin gloves . They have non latex thin gloves he can use. Unfortunately I will not be going there anymore. The person doing this was a young skinny guy in a weekday in the afternoon. When I asked the lady at the counter if that was customary she told me that they wash their hands. I think wearing gloves is much better or at least face your workstation table and focus on the job at hand and don’t look like you are having a conversation with other employees as you casually play with the dough. Sorry. That will be my last time there. If the owner responds to my comments and I see a change then I may consider going back. Otherwise no. Thank you

It’s been a couple of months now since I left the review and the owner or manager has not even had the courtesy to respond. That’s how much they value their customers. ...

Ordered pizza from them a few weeks ago. It arrived 30 minutes early and was ice cold (which is hard to understand). The quality of pizza was good enough to give it one more try.

Their website encourages that you order directly from them and not Door Dash. There must be some benefit from that to do this. We started getting strange text messages from an unknown number about a "package" that was going to be delivered, which was strange. We called the restaurant since the order was late. They said it's a company that delivers and we need to call them. Unfortunately, we have no idea who is making the delivery, we thought it was their driver. They also told us they would keep the pizza hot for us.

Once the pizza arrived it was cold since it had been sitting at the restaurant waiting for pick up. This after we included a delivery charge and a 25% tip. We do not believe it was the delivery drivers fault.

We won't be ordering...
