Nick's Pizza Pub - Crystal Lake

I visited for the first time tonight as part of a fundraiser, and it was truly wonderful. The young lady at the counter, Gina, was very friendly and welcoming when I arrived. I got there a bit early for my pizza, so I had the chance to observe the kitchen, and they operate like a well-oiled machine. If you haven't tried this place yet, you definitely should! I can't wait to come back.

I usually really enjoy their pizza and would recommend it to most people. However, it’s probably one of the priciest options around for the size you get. My last pizza was a bit undercooked, and the other one had way too much seasoning. On the positive side, the dine-in experience is nice. Just a heads up, they keep peanuts on all the tables. I also wish they offered pizzas larger than 14 inches.

Our server, Clay, was attentive to all our requests, and the bartender, Monica, personally came to our table to ensure that our special drink was to our satisfaction without trying to mask anything. Great job, team! Years ago, I visited this place for a CB club reunion, and it was worth every penny then, just as it is now. The food and service were excellent all around. The chicken wings are top-notch, earning them a rare 5-star rating. While I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't throw peanut dishes everywhere, the restaurant’s atmosphere speaks for itself. This is a great family restaurant and always busy—a full parking lot is a testament to how good it really is. It’s yet another fantastic addition to Crystal Lake. I’ll definitely be back. Bring back the peanut wars! Great job!

Went here for dinner last night. Was crowded but we were seated within 10 minutes. The waitress was pleasant, brought us drinks and took our orders quickly. About 20 minutes later a different waitress came by and asked if our orders were taken. We told her yes they were and she left. Guests that arrived after us (with different waitresses) were all getting their meals. We flagged down the hostess to ask about our meals and tell her we had been waiting a long time. She said she would look into it. She never returned. After being there an hour and 15 minutes we decided to leave. The hostess was just sitting at the front and we asked for the manager (think his name was Matt). Told him our disappointing experience and he nonchalantly said the waitress had an emergency, her brother was recently diagnosed with a medical condition. So he did not even apologize or make any effort to make up for the situation other than telling us to have a nice day Will never go back and will tell others of this awful experience.

I love the pizzas that make these youngs, it is the best in the city. it's always on the spot! the customer service is phenomenal. I love how they treat you with the greatest respect and excellent attitude. latasha always makes it a great experience with her smile and energy. definitely recommend to come and have a great time!
