"After several attempts at getting a pizza delivered from Altamonte Springs pizzerias claiming to have New York style pizza I decided to call this place and I hit pay dirt when they told me they did deliver. Believe it or not it seems to be a problem around here to getting a pizza delivered unless you go with the national chains which all are just okay. Then I read all the reviews about Nick's Pizza and I set my expectations very high. I suppose it really comes down to what your opinion of a New York style pizza is. My opinion of it is a crust that has a special taste to it and it must be thin towards the middle. It also must have plenty of cheese and high quality pepperoni. But the sauce is what makes a New York style pizza different from every other Pizza. There is a certain sweetness to the sauce and you can't taste any garlic in it. If I wanted a garlic sauce I would have ordered one. I'm not big on garlic and I know it has some health benefits and that's fine and dandy but I don't particularly care for it and I don't think it has a place in a New York style pizza. So it's a matter of taste and my taste buds we're not impressed with the overly garlicky sauce. I really wanted to give them a five star review because the service was excellent, the price was rather friendly and the owner must be an independent for me to want to give them a 5 star review. It's not that the pizza was bad; it's just that it was too different from what I know New York style should be. It must be a big hit with a lot of people because it does have lots of five star ratings and for that I salute the specialty of those people and making a pizza with plenty of garlic in its sauce. But it's just not for me. Did I miss order and get a different type of sauce that I should not have? Are there different sauces that Nick has for his pizza including the Grandma's slices? This would be the only way that I would try this pizzeria again. Maybe the owner could address this for me. I salute him but if this is the only sauce he carries I'll pass."
