 When you think of San Pedro, you think of waterfront views, tight? knit neighborhoods, weekend family gatherings — and yes, really good pizza. Over the years, one flavor has quietly built a loyal following: BBQ Chicken Pizza.

 It’s smoky. It’s savory. It’s tangy in all the right ways. And here in San Pedro, it has become more than just a topping choice — it’s a full-on tradition. And if there’s one place locals say it hits differently, it’s
 Niko’s Pizzeria.

 How BBQ Chicken Pizza Became a San Pedro Favorite

 BBQ Chicken Pizza didn’t start in Italy — it’s a true California creation. But San Pedro embraced it fast, especially with its coastal laid-back food culture and love for bold, comforting flavors.

 At Niko’s Pizzeria, the version locals keep coming back for is handcrafted featuring:

• A smoky-sweet BBQ base

• Juicy grilled chicken

• Melted mozzarella

• Red onions for that perfect bite

• Fresh cilantro (added after the bake for an aromatic finish)

  It’s the kind of slice that feels made for beach days, game nights, or that moment after work when you just need something that hits the spot.

 What Makes Niko’s BBQ Chicken Pizza Stand Out in San Pedro

 If you ask around the neighborhood, people will tell you the same thing:
“Niko’s does it the right way.”

Here’s why:

1. Real ingredients, Real Flavor

   Our dough is made fresh every morning, the chicken is seasoned in-house, and the toppings are generous — because nobody in San Pedro likes a skimpy slice.

2. Balanced BBQ —  Never Too Sweet, Never Too Smoky

    Our house BBQ blend is crafted to perfectly balance the cheese and chicken without overpowering the flavor

3. That signature Niko’s “Cheese Pull”

    The mozzarella melts into the sauce, giving every bite the perfect stretch — the kind you brag about on Instagram.

4. Made for Families, Game Nights & Big Cravings
