FOREST HILLS, QUEENS
Nick's Pizza
Whole pies only — thin, crisp, fresh mozzarella — and a flattened calzone, a block from Austin Street.
On Ascan Avenue near Austin Street, Nick's is a sit-down pizzeria of the old Queens kind — no slices, whole pies only, tables of families and groups splitting two or three. The crust is thin and crisp, the mozzarella fresh, and the sauce is kept in balance.
Order a plain pie, then one with a topping or two, and don't skip the calzone, which comes out flattened and crisp — closer to a giant grilled cheese than the puffy version you might expect. It is the dinner Forest Hills has been sharing for years.
Editor’s tip
Bring at least one other person — no slices means you're ordering a whole pie.
