Great family owned business in Waterloo for many years. Great pizza and their menu has lots of good choices as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great authentic pizza in a family friendly setting.

You're the best around, nothing's gonna ever bring ya down.I should mention - it's always been the best. When I was a kid, Mama Nick herself used to give me quarters for the arcade game they used to have. Quality and service still as good almost 30 years later.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Upon walking in was greeted very kindly, you can choose between a buffet or the menu, they have 3 beers on tap, Budweiser, Budlight and Miller lite, staff are very friendly and the food is delicious.

Ordered through door dash. First time ever eating here and lived in Waterloo my whole life. We ordered the taco pizza and for all the great reviews I was not impressed. Maybe it was because of Door dash and the time it took to get us. I’m not sure. The Jon Jon bread was delicious. My husbands tenderloin was good. But the pizza....Could of been better!! Also if you are ordering for a family 2 -10†pizza is not enough. We spent a lot of money and my adult children were still hungry. In fact they stopped to get something on their way home. I understand as I run a restaurant myself. We will definitely try mama nicks again. But maybe wait for the dining area to be opened.

We shared that my mom hadn't been in years and it was my first time! There response was to give us a welcome back to Waterloo coupon! Staff was very friendly and the food was amazing! We had the Buffalo and taco pizzas! Will definitely not be going anywhere else for pizza! We love that there is gluten free as well! Thanks Mama Nick and and Kim our sweet server!

Mama Nicks is one of my favorite restaurants over all. It's definitely my favorite in the area. The food is good and prices are more than fair (cheep good food). They do pizza, pasta, desert foods, and most days they have a buffet as well.
Candid Legacies
Great pizza, and the staff were super nice and helpful with our late order.
Paul Cameron
Flew in from Columbus, Ohio. Tried Mama for the first time. They have true thin crust, balanced flavors, and this amazing seasoning that's spread on top. The 50+ years of making pizza show in their quality.

Great food and service

This place is iconic, if you come to Waterloo and don't go to Mama Nick's to experience the homemade pizza, you didn't experience Waterloo.
Deborah Gates
Ate at the buffet. Nice quiet atmosphere. Food was fresh and delicious.
Randy Cook
AWESOME food and service.

Stopped through on a long road trip. We ordered ahead from the road and it was ready when we arrived. Delicious pizza and a great staff!
Joyce Utsler

Scott Trueg
One of the best pizza spots in town
Water Hawk
Family stopped to celebrate. We recently moved to the area. I did a quick search and we decided to stop. The servers were very nice and did a great job. We had the buffet it’s small but the food was good. You need to stand ready for the new pizzas when they are placed or you will miss getting a slice if its busy. The other items offered were good but not amazing. I love the fact that 8 years old and under ate free makes it easy for a family on a budget to eat. I will eat here again and hopefully update the post then.

We stopped here while visiting Waterloo for a wedding. It was just ok pizza, It did not WOW us. I don't think we would ever go back. We tried it because of high reviews online. We had a wonderful, sweet waitress though! It took a very long time to get the pizza.

Jason Shirley
The Sunday buffet was incredible.I demolished a pile of fish & pizza,gained 4 pounds in 15 minutes.The staff was professional ,curtious and fun to watch.The beaddy eyed Greek guy at the bar made me nervous,but he smiled every once in awhile when a skinny idiot with a gluten covered red apron came out with a carefully prepared stupid question.99.9 percent great experience ,always.ðŸƒWould have been better if I would have found my next ex-wife.
