Nick & Alpha House are an institution in Apollo Beach. I love the pizza & salad buffet & have participated in it more times than I will admit. The smell of hot fresh pizza... nothing else quite like it. The pizza is solid, thin crisp crust, hearty fresh toppings, robust sauce & plenty of cheese. Inside is a bit dated, with high partitions on one side of the restaurant. I love the bar area, nice & dimly lit, some booths, tables & decent sized bar. From the outside this restaurant is deceptive & appears smaller than it is. Beyond the bar is a dance floor and another dining room and past that a banquet room. Go ahead & park in front or back or wherever you can squeeze in. The salads are fresh, crisp, light and inviting. The lasagna, parmigiano dishes, pastas... are like grandma made. All very tasty, not overly spicy just spot on good! Everything appears to be made from scratch except the noodles ( actual pasta). Clean, typically friendly, family owned restaurant, that has withstood the test of time & keeps going. The prices are fair & the portions are generous. What's a girl to do? Love pizza, love Italian & other cultural food, the journey is part of the enjoyment.
If you want fantastic Italian food, come here. If you want ambiance and swanky decor, do not come here. The service is great, and the food spectacular.
I was in town on business and found this place on yelp. I was impressed by the authentic cuisine and of course the price. I actually went back 2 days in a row. Apparently They have an Elvis impersonator which I didn't get to see but how cool is that?!? The bar next door has music a few nights a week and I just love the hometown feel of this place. The staff is so friendly and you can tell they have been working there forever. At lunch time they have a salad and pizza buffet and I asked for a specific kind of pizza they didn't have out and they made it for me! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!
