At Niko’s Pizzeria, we know that dining is about more than food — it’s about culture, flavor, and community. As a Greek and Italian restaurant, we blend the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality with recipes inspired by Italy's rich culinary history. Whether you’re dining at our cozy San Pedro location or ordering online to enjoy at home, you’ll always feel that ‘third place’ experience we’re known for.

Honoring Two Great Cultures of Food

On one side of the Mediterranean includes Greece - vibrant hues, seasonal ingredients, olive oil, tangy cheese, aromatic plants, also leisurely meals filled with conversation. On the other side is Italy — home to humble yet flavorful dishes like spaghetti, garlic bread, and ripe red tomatoes, shaped by centuries of culinary tradition. Niko’s Pizzeria aims to respect each heritage. This place welcomes relatives, companions, curious eaters wanting flavors from these two realms.

What Sets Us Apart

• Real Ingredients & Real Connection: Every ingredient matters — from our hand-stretched, wood-fired pizzas to fresh Greek salads, olives, tzatziki, and more. We don’t just serve food; we serve memories.
   
• Warm, Welcoming Ambiance: As we like to say, there’s home, there’s work — and then there’s that all-important ‘third place’ where you can relax, laugh with family and friends, and always enjoy your favorite dish.
