I ordered a large Greek salad it was awesome tonight had plenty of toppings sometimes it doesn’t . This place is definitely one of my favorite place to go out to eat in palatka !

Niko’s Pizza is the best pizza in Putnam county, yes there are several other pizza places but they just don’t compare. The Greek salads are large and the pizzas are great, and they don’t skimp on toppings. They usually have a double pizza special, buy a large and get a second one for $8, this is a great deal, we usually take the sending one home and have for dinner the next day. Don’t drive by, stop in, you won’t be disappointed!

I pulled in because I saw the parking lot was full, lol! Sign of a good meal, I say!. It did not disappoint, the grinders and gyros looked excellent, but I wanted pizza! I will definitely be back next trip!

Don't ask if you should go. Just go. The whole place feels like 80s/90s Italian nostalgia and an Italian grandma's hug. The waitress was really sweet. We got the shells and cheese dinner plate and it was totally enough for two people. The garlic bread was awesome. The cheese bread was great! The soup is fantastic! So much cheese!!!!! I've had some brutal dental work this last month and I've been either exhausted with eating or not digging the flavor for the effort. This dinner was easy for me to eat and made me feel really good. There's something real special in the food. 10/10 would visit Niko's again!

We got together here for a birthday dinner with the grandkids. Spur of the moment on a Friday evening. The place was busy, but we were seated right away and got our drinks first off. Started off with cheesy bread SUPER YUMMY. And pizza after. Pepperoni and sausage and a cheese pizza for the kids. All very good!! We will be back!!
