What's For Dinner?

Here are a few suggestions.....

Last Chance for Pasta Special!

2009-07-01T15:07:00.004-04:00

This is the last week for our Family Spaghetti Special!! We'll of course continue to offer spaghetti, and you can even order a family portion, but we'll resume regular pricing as of July 7. Watch your mailboxes and this blog for a repeat of the Family Meal Deal later in 2009.

Parking Lot Pizza?

2009-06-01T15:00:00.002-04:00

Chef Nick and his mobile pizza oven will serve lunch for the June Monthly Market Community Yard Sale on Saturday, June 6.

Grantville's Hidden Treasures, your Market sponsor, and lots of yard sellers including members of Bethlehem Baptist Church, will be offering deals on clothing, furniture and household items beginning at 8 a.m. and throughout the day until 4 pm or later. New Image Salon is offering specials on services and products and free 10-minute tanning sessions.

Nick's will serve lunch from noon until approximately 2 pm. Come see us!

Those Were The Days....

2009-05-27T19:53:00.001-04:00

Trolling through our photo collection recently, I came across some pics from our early days at the old Pizza Stop...recognize anyone?

Little did we all know that when Maurice started driving for a living, he'd like it so much that these days he's driving a big rig on the nation's highways!

Your Vacation = Our New Wall Decoration

2009-05-25T19:42:00.001-04:00

When you travel this summer, keep Nick's menu collection in mind!

One wall of our restaurant is papered with menus from other independent pizzerias around the world. So far, in addition to several US states, we've got menus from Australia, Thailand, and Antigua. It's our way of celebrating fellowship with independent pizzeria owners everywhere,

Each month, the customer bringing us the menu from the farthest away (of those collected that month) wins a free large cheese pizza!

When you visit a new community, seek out a local pizza joint and pick up a take-out menu for our Menu Wall (ideally, you'll also support our pizza peer and pick up a pizza or two for yourself!) We invite you to add to our collection...and if you don't go anywhere, feel free to call up all your distant cousins and ask for a menu from their favorite local pizzeria.

Coupon Exchange at Nick's

2009-05-20T15:09:00.002-04:00

We know the current economy has driven just about all of us to couponing. And marketers are sure turning to it as well....every day we get something from BJs, or Office Max, or Ingles and lots of other shops in my mailbox. Some of them we use, but many of them are for products or places we don't need.

On the theory that this is true for others, we are setting out a Coupon Exchange bin in our lobby. You can drop in coupons you don't need, and take any that are useful to you. And yes, that includes the recent Nick's Spaghetti "coupon" (if you don't like spaghetti it is still nice to know that you at least noticed you got mail from us!)

Remember, we also have a business referral area in the pizzeria. We encourage our customers to "shop local" and buy products & services from each other whenever possible. Every card is from some one we've actually served - we don't let random strangers simply drop off cards, and in many cases we ourselves have done business with the person in question. If you are a local service provider or business owner, make sure you tell us a little about what you do the next time you dine at Nick's!

Thank you to our Restaurant Friends

2009-05-20T12:48:00.002-04:00

As independent restaurateurs we've always had a "we're in this together" approach when it comes to other local restaurants. Every successful independent restaurant represents proof that consumers value the unique dining experience that sets "locals" apart from the big chains.

We are blessed with neighboring business owners who share our philosophy. They've even extended a hand to help us now and again. Last fall, Ted Williams of Hawg Heaven graciously loaned us his monster ice bin for use at the Hummingbird Festival; Paul Parker of County Line Cafe furnished the trailer used to ferry our pizza oven the Golf Classic this month.

Most recently, Toni Striblin of Rogers Barbecue personally jumped in to help us pretty-up our storefront. Knowing I myself have a 'black thumb' when it comes to gardening, Toni and our mutual friend Phyllis Pettway potted cheery flowers in front of Nick's. Toni was also instrumental in introducing the Callaway High School athletic department to Nick's, and we had the distinct pleasure of feeding the Cavaliers last weekend.

We are proud to be part of an industry that fosters cooperative relationships and distinctly friendly "competition." We certainly want you to choose Nick's often, but on those occasions when you don't, we hope you will support you other "locals."

On Top Of Spaghetti.......

2009-05-19T15:59:00.006-04:00

If you live in zip code 30220 you should have received a mailer from Nick's last week, with a coupon for an amazing deal on a Spaghetti Dinner for Four!

Three pounds of Spaghetti, a pound of Nick's Meatballs, and our house-made sauce (as I write this, there is a big batch simmering in the kitchen and it smells soooo good!) plus garden salad for four, hot garlic flatbread and an Apple Pizza for dessert!

All this for $24.99 with the coupon (...if you don't have a coupon we'll accept a great big smile instead, so long as you mention you read about deal on our News blog!)

**Dine in and request this special, we'll throw in free iced tea for four guests. Gallon Tea to go is $2.99 and yes, we brew it ourselves...no canned concentrates!)

Nick's is a Winner at Expo on the Green

2009-05-19T12:10:00.014-04:00

Chef Nick set up shop - literally...we set up a mobile pizzeria - at hole six at White Oak Golf Club for the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce 2009 Golf Classic on May 6. (Yes, that is a real pizza oven you see there on the golf course!)

Many thanks to Nick's team members Micheal & Nicole Cronic, Scott Palmer, and Phyllis Pettway for doing an exceptional job recreating Nick's trademark pizzas and hospitality.

Nick's won first prize in the Expo...on the heels of our second-place finish last year, we are wondering how we'll out do ourselves next year! Several golfers have already come down to see us in Grantville and confirm Nick's Pizza is worth the drive. ("golf"..."drive"....clever, huh?)

Lasagna...Served with Salad and Garlic Bread

2009-05-05T14:48:00.000-04:00

Perfectly yummi with a Birra Moretti or Peroni....or Nick's famous Sweet Iced Tea!

Can You Survive a Trainwreck?

2009-05-01T15:00:00.001-04:00

Nick's most famous Signature Pizza....the Trainwreck....it's about 4.5 pounds going into the oven and a ton (of yumminess) coming out. Twenty-one toppings baked to perfection.

Can You Do It?

We deliver....but it's more fun if you dine in!

Kid-friendly Crayons. Adult-friendly Beer. Everybody-Friendly Table Service.

770-583-2240 Dining Room Open until 8:50 Tu-Th and 9:50 Fri-Sat.

Nicks Closed On Wednesday May 6

2009-04-30T15:10:00.006-04:00

It's time for the annual Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament and for the second year in a row, Nick's is sponsoring a "hole" at the event. Last year we won second place in the Sponsors' competition - we set up a medieval encampment and spit-roasted pork and lamb for the golfers!

This year we're taking a more traditional italiano ristorante approach, but details are Top-Secret until, well - at least until the night before, when we are scrambling around trying to pull it all together!

We hope you will excuse the inconvenience of our one-night closing and make plans to enjoy Nick's on Tuesday, Thursday or the weekend!

Nick's is Closed, Wednesday, May 6. Regular hours resume Thursday.

City Employee Appreciation Lunch

2009-04-30T14:59:00.006-04:00

Every year since we opened, we've had the honor of treating our City of Grantville employees to lunch. As residents and business owners, we rely on them quite a bit, and this is our opportunity to get to know some of the folks who work to make our city a wonderful place to live and work.

I wanted to catch some pictures of them with our pizzas on the table... but as it turns out, city work makes people very hungry. The pizza pretty much disappeared before I had a chance to get my camera!

In the spirit of helping YOU get to know some of the unsong heroes of small town pizzerias (if not for gas service, electricity and running water there would be no pizza!) here you can see "Boots" (left) and Travis in their post-Pizza state of lunchtime happiness.

Garden Walk.......with Pepperoni

2009-04-29T15:36:00.001-04:00

See Ya at Nick's This Weekend??

2009-04-23T13:35:00.001-04:00

Spring fever has Grantville in its grip! Here at Nick's we recommend some refreshing cold beverages and tasty pizza to welcome the long-awaited weekend.

We have it on good authority that a nice Newcastle Brown Ale pairs nicely with the King Kamehaha, our "extreme Hawaiian" pizza with ham, bacon,Canadian bacon, pineapple and a drizzle of Teriyaki. (Sounds weird but the taste is spectacular!)

If your taste runs towards the hot or spicy, try the Mexican Hat Dance (beef, onion, bell pepper, seasonings) or Fajita Pizza (grilled chicken, onion, bell pepper) - both with our creamy spicy Fajita sauce - enjoyed with ice cold Terrapin Rye Pale Ale. This is Terrapin's newest offering, a hoppy beer made with rye malt that also provides a great complement to Nick's Caribbean Spice Jerk wings.

Terrapin's Golden Ale is a terrific match for the A&WP (artichoke and white pizza.) Those Grantville favorites, the Meatlover and Meatlover McGee are extra tasty topped off with the touch of honey inTerrapin Sunray Wheat Beer.

Of course, nothing beats Peroni or Moretti for true Italian flavor when it comes to great beer with stromboli, calzone, pizza or pasta....On the other hand, it hardly gets more "all-American" than a big ol' pile of hot wings and a brew from Budwieser or Miller!

Not a beer drinker? W have a wide selection of Coca-Cola products including Mellow Yellow, Pibb Xtra, Barq's Root Beer, MinuteMaid Lemonade and Fanta Orange, and our iced tea is pretty darn yummy (if I May say so myself!)

Nick's has full table service and carry-out available in the Nick's dining room until 9:00 pm on weeknights and 10:00 pm weekends. 770-583-2240

City Employee Appreciation Lunch

2009-04-23T13:06:00.000-04:00

The fifth annual City of Grantville Employee Appreciation Lunch at Nick's is Friday, April 24. Nick's hosts this luncheon annually as a gesture of thanks for the work they do to keep our city going!

Residents are encouraged to drop in at Nick's between noon and 1:00 to meet some of the workers and personally express your own appreciation and support. If you can't make the lunch, next time you see a guy in a blue shirt cutting grass or up on a utility pole...take a moment to say hello!!

Baby, it's cold outside!

2009-04-07T16:14:00.002-04:00

The weather gives you an excellent excuse to enjoy full table service at Nick's...! And if you've got stir-crazy kids at home for spring break, we'll set them up with some yummy cheesey pizza and board games or toys to keep them happy while you give yourself a well-deserved treat.

Come to Nick's and relax while enjoying our house-made lasagna!

Choose from Cheese Lasagna or Meat Lasagna, each prepared with Nick's private-recipe marinara (which is perhaps even better than our pizza sauce!) You can add meat sauce for a double dose of protein and meaty flavor.

Lasagna is served with garlic pita bread and salad. We recommend our toasty fried ravioli appetizer to set the stage for it...and a slice of Tirimisu or Cheesecake with a cup of coffee to finish it off!

Nick's is open 5 to 9 pm Tuesday through Thursday and 5 to 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Lasagna is made in house and available "while it lasts" so don't wait to come see us!

Delicious Delights for Dreary Days

2009-04-02T16:19:00.010-04:00

You're wet...you're whiny....you've worked hard all week. You deserve a treat! Come see us for Friday lunch... or plan Nick's for dinner on Friday or Saturday night!

Nick's Spaghetti
Choose Nick's famous red sauce, meat sauce, meatballs or all of the above. You can even add mushrooms, peppers, and other toppings, or request Penne in place of spaghetti noodles. Served with side salad and garlic pita bread.

Steak Pizza
Try our newest favorite, the Great Steak and Potato Pie or take a break from your usual sandwich dinner and go for the Cheesesteak Pizza! Our premium steak topping can also be added to your Custom pizza.

Never mind the Beer, Try some Birra!
Imported from Italy, Peroni is "birra superiore" and Moretti delivers "qualita' e tradizione'..what a great way to complement Nick's yummy, yummy food! If you prefer local 'tradition,' we've also got Bud and Miller beers; and while it lasts we've got Mike's Hard Pomegranate, Sweetwater Georgia Brown, and Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale...all on their way out to make way for a "spring beer selection" at Nick's!

Delightfully Different....or Definitely Daring?
Want something a little different but not ready to get crazy? Just order your usual pizza toppings and request creamy garlic butter sauce or our house-recipe white sauce instead of red sauce. Or be bold and ask for Fajita Sauce!

Sweet Treats to Ease Your Suffering
Reward yourself with fresh-baked Cinnamon Stix with vanilla glaze. Maybe some of those crazy-good Fried Bananas Foster Cheesecake Bites! How 'bout a slice of traditional cheesecake in Vanilla or Oreo flavor?

Remember to mention your Frequent Pie-er Card when ordering any large pizza and you can add a topping for FREE. Your purchase of $20 or more gets you a 'punch' on your way to a free pizza. Enjoy Fried Ravioli or Fried Brownies FREE when you order a 16" Signature Pizza and present a copy of the offer found in the current Coupon Craze.

Attendance and Achievment Awards Honored at Nick's

2009-03-31T19:19:00.002-04:00

As business partner to Glanton Elementary School, Nick's has long been a champion of Perfect Attendance and achievement in reading.

Any Glanton School Student with an Attendance Recognition Certificate or Reading Achievement Certificates from any of the "big chain" pizzerias can bring those coupons to Nick's and receive a FREE Gator Pie. The Gator Pie is our 7" kids pizza, named in honor of the Glanton Elementary School Gators.

But don't forget, every time you purchase a Gator Pie at Nick's Pizzeria twenty-five cents of the purchase price is donated to the Glanton School Library.

Delivery Service Resumes (Mostly)

2009-03-26T14:12:00.000-04:00

It can be a real challenge to find folks with the right charm to represent us at your doorstep, especially since they also need to have the right schedule, a good car, quick math skills and courage in the face of big dogs. Then there is the financial reality of insurance and other delivery-specific costs, and the practical challenge of making it all work in tandem with our growing dine-in and carry-out services.

We recently announced a switch to "Friday only" delivery, and folks have come out of the woodwork with offers to help us keep the pizzas moving in Grantville.

So here's the deal....
Thanks to the return of Taylor (everyone's favorite 'hippy chick' delivery driver) Nick's announces the return of Friday and Saturday delivery.

During the week, we'll be blessed with driving help from Phyllis & PJ Pettway, along with longtime always-here-when-we-need-a-hand volunteer Slice Girl, Amanda Foiles. (Don't be surprised if our winter helper-outs Deanna and Eric Irvin show up once in a while as well - give Eric a Mexican Hat Dance pizza and he'll drive just about anywhere.)

I've also got a list of about five other local folks who've offered to help whenever they can. If schedules work out as we hope, we'll have full delivery service every hour of every weekday...but we still encourage you to come and dine in at Nick's, where Nicole is here five nights a week to cater to your every pizza lovin' need!

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a "grown up" restaurant with lots of full time employees and all that jazz. But I must confess, there is something especially rewarding about having a place where the customers clamor to step in and be part of the action, and care enough to sacrifice a night or two a week just to drive around "spreading the love and sharing the pizza."

....don't forget to tip your delivery driver!
