We were on our way to a Tigers game but we needed food. My wife's name is Niki, so we absolutely had to try Niki's Pizza. We got a Detroit style slice with pepperoni to go. It was shocking how good this pizza tasted. Niki's Pizza is criminally underrated and should be near the top of all pizza rankings. We went to another pizza place that 's highly recommended the next day, and Niki's topped it by a mile!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Detroit-Style Pizza I’ve Ever Had — Period. If you grew up in Metro Detroit eating Buddy’s, Cloverleaf, or Loui’s, you need to try Nikki’s. It’s like stepping back in time to when pizza tasted real — better dough, richer sauce, real cheese, and that perfect corner crunch. Hands down the best square pizza I’ve had in 50 years of eating Detroit pizza. ⸻ Full Review: I’ve been eating pizza all over Metro Detroit for half a century — Buddy’s, Cloverleaf, Loui’s, Shield’s, you name it. I finally tried Nikki’s Pizza in Detroit, and honestly, it’s the best square pizza I’ve ever had. It reminded me of how pizza used to taste when I was a kid — before everyone started cutting corners with cheaper ingredients. The dough is exceptional: soft inside with a beautifully crisp, buttery crust. The sauce has that old-school depth and balance — not too sweet, not too salty, just perfectly seasoned. The cheese tastes real, rich, and properly melted into the corners the way it should. It’s like Cloverleaf but upgraded — better crust, better sauce, better cheese. You can tell there’s pride behind it. Nikki’s somehow brought back the taste I’ve been missing for decades. If you grew up on real Detroit-style pizza, go try it. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to time travel.

Went for lunch with my coworker - it was pretty filled up by 1pm but there was only 1 server working the whole floor. Several tables were busted but not clean so it while to find a clean seat. Despite that she took care of us pretty well and food came out quick enough. I ordered 1 slice with side Greek (very yummy sauce, thick Detroit style pizza) and she ordered the gyro plate. As you can see very generous servings.

One of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted absolutely amazing, but the real standout was the staff. Taylor and Alecia—no joke—made my entire night. Their kindness, especially so late in the evening, was genuinely remarkable. They turned a good visit into an unforgettable one and will fully plan on returning.

I visited Detroit for the first time on Tuesday 9/2. I wanted to try a Detroit Style pizza for the first time. Went to Niki’s after doing some searching (and also this was the only one of the big names that popped up open on a Tuesday which surprised me). I can’t speak for the rest of the Greek menu, but we ordered a small 1/2 Mediterranean 1/2 Cheese and it was super delicious! I’m a New Yorker born and raised. While I will never say this dethrones NY style, I will definitely say this is so much better than Chicago deep dish and it has made me start looking up where I can get Detroit style local to me. Though I can’t imagine it’ll be anywhere as good as this was.

Food was good. Server is think was new so could use some work there. Over all would say the pizza was really good.
