  • Today Nino's earned their fifth star. I had them at a solid 4 but the fifth was earned rightly. It's not that I was on the fence but I will have to elaborate a little further for this to make any sense. To start off, the food here is very good. I haven't had anything other than their pizza and wings but I think any place that pins themselves as a pizza joint can be measured by those two alone so I am going to roll with it. The pizza is simply flavorful and fresh. The crust is crunchy and not oily while the cheese is delicious and all of the toppings we have had were equally of good quality. We have been there a few times now and I was waiting to see if there was ever any variance which sometimes happens in smaller joints like this, but the quality has been very consistent. The wings are different. I don't know how else to say that because they aren't the usual fried wing slathered in the sauce of your choice. I actually don't know how they do it but they are crispy and for the most part dry with the flavor of wing sauce still there. It's almost as if they put the wings in the sauce then fried them thus baking in the flavor. It is the only place I have had wings like this and frankly it is good. My wife is the one who, upon our first visit to Nino's, threw down 10 in one sitting. Let's just say she is a fan because she rarely eats more than 3 wings from any other pizza joint. They aren't my favorite but they are definitely good. I am going to give them points for originality in this category which doesn't happen very often. The facility itself is a simple little corner spot right on 99th and Olive. Nothing special other than I would say location probably gets them some pretty good exposure. Walk in, register and the bar with a few televisions on the right, and tables all along the left. Very small town feel in a big city. Wood paneled wall and a NASCAR trinket here and there as well. I haven't been enough to identify the patrons at the bar each time but I get the feeling this place has its regulars. And now to that fifth star. It comes down to the staff, really. I had a request for a quarter of the pizza to not have pizza sauce due to allergies in the family (to tomatoes, not pizza sauce itself, silly). At first I was put off because the person on the phone acted like that was the most outlandish request they had ever heard. I have never been to a place that couldn't do it so I was a little surprised when he sounded like this was difficult. But the kudos comes for the result. They figured it out. There were 2 slices with just dough and cheese and the recipient was delighted they could pull it off. I could have gone two ways with this I think. This could have been a negative for a fairly normal task being made in to such a big deal. But I am going to side with the cook here. He may never have done such a task before, but he stepped up and did it which is why we will be going back for more pizza and wings for as long as they are slinging them.
