This hole in the wall pizza place is closed to where I stayed. I was able to walk over. There is a small parking lot, and parking seemed pretty easy. There was a line when I got here, and the tables a were full. It is a sign of good food! I saw a lady picking up 10 pizzas while I was waiting in line! I ordered a meatball sub and a medium pizza. Food was made to order and it was very fresh. The break for my meat ball sub was very soft and yet a little crispy! The pizza crust is thin, and crispy. The topping was not overcooked or dried. They prepared small containers of ranch inside the fridge for customers to self-serve. I will come back again for their pizza! It was well made!

Nik n Willies Pizza makes perfectly satisfactory pizza. The crust is crisp and the toppings are plentiful. We ordered the Big Nik' n Wild Willies pizza which had sausage, Canadian bacon, salami, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, green peppers, red onions, and tomatoes. Our medium 12 inch pizza was $25.40 and had 8 slices. We also ordered pineapple on it, which they forgot to add but they quickly made it right with us. I think their pizza could use more sauce and less cheese. We also ordered a small Caesar salad ($8) which had romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan, and Caesar dressing. The salad was nothing special but it was tasty and everything you'd expect from a basic Caesar salad, so I had no complaints. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and would consider returning if I wanted pizza and salad for dinner while in Mammoth. Nothing blew me away but I wasn't disappointed by anything either. They have limited seating available with a few TVs, the space is very no-frills and a bit dingy. They take cash and card (no Amex though). There isn't tons of parking on site but there are other lots nearby you can use too. I give them a 3.5/5 but am rounding it up to 4.

Makin Bacon - that's all I have to say. And go for the 16"; if not you'll be wanting more. The service is laid back and friendly. The ambiance- It's a pizza joint there's chairs, tv and beer if you want. This is one of our go to places for a good pizza while in mammoth. And we try to get it every time we go up to mammoth.

Best pizza in Mammoth lakes. After 8 hours of hiking This pizza was our best option. We had be of their many chicken options. This place is small but is quick. Pizzas are made by hand. With generous ingredients. We also had a small salad to go with our pizza and had enough food for two adults. Parking lot is limited. They also did both a pickup option and a make at home option.

The pizza was crispy and tasty! The wings were bomb...everyone loved them. I like my one double fried..but that my fault for not ordering them this way. The guys working there were friendly and hustling to get the orders done! Great service

We were looking for a place to get sandwiches that we planned to take with on a hike early the next morning. The staff at Nik n Willie's went out of their way to make sure we would have fresh sandwiches without soggy bread. We ordered cold veggie sandwiches. The shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, along with some sealed pesto sauce, were placed inside a lidded container. The sandwiches were tightly wrapped. We refrigerated it all until we set out on our hike. We were pleasantly surprised that, after putting them together, our sandwiches were not only fresh and delicious but also still a bit cool in temperature by the time we had them for lunch! We would definitely go here again! We'd like to try their pizza next time!

Stumbled upon this place for my wings and pizza craving. Both the wings and pizza were delicious and at a very good price! Portion size was great, but the wings were the main star. I would recommend! Service was super fast and the cashier that was working on Sunday evening was awesome and great! The inside was decently average size with a handful of seatings for a party size of 1-8 people per table.

Good spot to hit up while in Mammoth. Location is very convenient off multiple bus routes and they also have their own parking lot. Pizza: the ingredients used tasted fresh and the pizza as a whole was good. This is more of a personal preference, but the crust was more "cracker-y" and less doughy, if that makes sense. If you like this style of crust, then these pizzas would be perfect for you. However, i personally prefer my crust more air-y and dough-y. But the cheese, meats, and veggie toppings were all great! Wings: Honestly, the wings were the BEST part of the meal. We got both BBQ and buffalo and they were large sized wings and not the sad limpy wings you get at pizza joints sometimes. They were perfectly cooked and sauced. Would definitely come back here just for the wings!

Can't believe all the times I've been to Mammoth I never tried Nik n Willie's. Great recommendation from a friend and I couldn't agree more. It's one of the better pizza joints out here! The family and the kiddos all loved it. Lowe Down (Hawaiian), Huskie Pie, Carnivore's Delight, and Pepperoni were all great. Definitely, will be ordering from them again for pizzzaaa.
