NICK-n-WILLY'SPIZZAPRESCOTT, ARIZONAAt Nick-n-Willy's Pizza you can take-n-bake, or have them bake it for you. Personally, I think take-n-bake is the only way to go! But that's just me. With 4 kinds of sauce - tomato, olive oil glaze, white sauce  and
pesto
- you can probably find one that suits you. There are all kinds of
cheeses too - feta, cheddar, provolone, fontina and fresh Parmesan.For a pizza joint the menu is extensive. There are "starters" - cheese bread, salads and wings- around 14 or so "signature" pizzas that range from the "Aegean" that has an Olive oil glaze, mozzarella, fresh garlic, spinach, marinated sun-dried tomatoes, feta and oregano to - "Nicks meat eater" with fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, cheddar/provolone, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, seasoned beef, salami and choice of sausage. Signature pizzas run from $5.99 for a personal pizza to $17.99 for a 16" family size. Extra toppings are from $.50 to $2.00 depending on the size of the pizza. Of course you can build your own pizza - with all of the standard toppings plus some not so standard like mandarin oranges or sun dried tomatoes. Add any of the available sauces and the cheese or cheeses of your choice and you are good to go. $4.99 to $11.99. The Liv-n-Lite pizza is a thinner and crispier version of the regular pizza with 1/3 fewer calories - you can get this in 5 different combos. For dessert you can pig out on a giant chocolate chip cookie or opt for the cinn-n-bites.  Interestingly
enough the crew at Nick-n-Willy's says that about 70% of
their patrons opt for the fully baked pizza - why is another story -
the pizzas baked on the premises are done in an electric oven
- so why not do it at home?I stopped in for the lunch buffet, which is a pretty good deal at $7.99 for all the pizza you can eat, a salad and a drink. The first pizza up was a pepperoni - it was ok. The crust didn't have a lot of flavor, but the tomato sauce was pretty good, the cheeses were fine and the pepperoni was standard fare. My salad was nothing special - chopped iceberg lettuce with a variety of chopped pizza toppings - onion, green peppers, olives and tomato with your choice of dressings in one of those little packets. It was fine for what it was. The second pizza to appear for the buffet was a bbq chicken pizza. Again, I was not blown away by the crust - although I must admit that there are plenty of folks out there that like their crust very thin and very crispy - I'm just not one of them. The chicken was good and the bbq sauce was good, if a little sweet for my taste. All in all Nick-n-Willy's is a good chain pizzeria with fresh ingredients, freshly made dough and a friendly staff. They don't sell pizza by the slice but the buffet is a good deal and the place has comfortable seating. It's a nice addition to any neighborhood.
