Pizza is thin, crispy and delicious. Sauce is perfect, not too sweet, not too “garlicky”. Perfect spot to grab a slice and go or sit down for a full dinner. Antipasto salad is filled with meats, cheese and veggies. Pasta dishes have … More

We placed an order on Sunday the 4th of May for pick up right as they opened up. We were told a half hour. We left our house and arrived 10 minutes early. The place was booming! The employees were wonderful. They had seven other pizzas along with ours coming out of the ovens. Fantastic place!!! More

Pizza was the best I've ever had! From dinning out or making it myself. But the wing were to saucy for my preference, but still great and a bit spicy! Also my sibling who is autistic was playing his favorite video loudly but no one(customer or staff) made a fuss! Love this place. Definitely coming back! More

Although the food was good. I've never had such a cheese-less calzone! Literally almost no cheese in it. And flat! I've always had calzones that were full and tall with cheese. We actually ended up with a spare as 1 broke boxing it. But I won't waste my money there again. Also... I've never had my calzone cut in half. It was just wrong.

I had a great first experience here! I ordered a slice of mushroom pizza. It wasn’t too expensive for the quality of pizza! The toppings were great! The sauce was good. It was not too crispy and not too soft! It was just right! You can fold the pizza in half without it breaking at all! The taste was spot on! More

The spinach tortellini soup that I had here was very delicious. It was a little strong in flavor and I had to ask for a little extra bread to soak it up, but it was still good. I will definitely come back here again. More

$13 for 2 slices of pizza and a drink. I guess if you do business in the center of a college town you can charge crazy prices for pizza. But the place was clean the customer service was fast and the servers very friendly. Just way overpriced. More

I have not been to Nina's in many years and was in town last week and stopped here for lunch.
The pizza my wife and I had was very good. My complaints are that the service was not that friendly. It seemed as though the waitress was curt and not that attentative.
Above the booth we were sitting at was a ceiling fan. Not only were the blades of this fan filthy, but the ceiling around it was encrusted with heavy dust and what appeared to be bugs in this heavy dust.

Wonderful restaurant! Great for a slice or a meal. We chose a booth but there are tables and a large room in the back for bigger groups, as well as seating outside if you prefer. The staff, was friendly and service was fast, even on a busy night. I didn't take a picture of the zucchini fries( I was so hungry and they looked so delicious) they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect start to our meal. I’m confident that we will be back for many meals in the future.

I had ordered a margarita pizza. The pizza still tastes good, dough is made right sauce is good. But this pie is NOT EVEN CLOSE to a margarita pizza. It was a regular cheese pizza with diced tomatoes and a low portion of basil. Margarita is fresh mozzarella, sauce, basil, and sometimes balsamic (glaze) vinaigrette. I posted two photos. One is from Nina’s, the other is from one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. Carmine & Sons. I would love to see Nina’s step their game up on the margarita otherwise the pizza here is good.

When my son played in Cooperstown, this was our favorite place to eat. The garlic knots are amazing!! We came back and ordered more to take back to Maryland before we left. Next time I’m up that way, I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE GARLIC KNOTS!!!
