Score
Inspectors have visited Nick's Pizzaria & Wings 11 times, with records going back to 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 17, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Nick's Pizzaria & Wings' 67 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
