We've grown and grown and exploded to this point where you're reading this right now and probably salivating. Our secret? It's not one, admittedly. The best ingredients is a big part. An unrelenting love of food is the other big part. Between those two, we think we pretty much have our burger bases covered. Turns out we also like people, though. We're not making these delicious, one-of-a-kind creations to not share them with our human species brethren. We hope to share them with you, in fact. And soon. So head on in to the nearest (heck, it could even be the furthest) Uncle Nick's location and feast your eyes on the greatest fast food ever made. You won't be sorry you did.

Our restaurant has been in business since 1963. Vito has owned this restaurant ever since. He, his wife Janette, and two sons, Vito Jr, and Mike, run the restaurant on a daily basis. We our best known for our pizzas and our homemade sausage that Vito makes. Our pizzas are made as a relatively thin crust. Besides our pizzas, everything else on our menu is also tasty.
