About
Welcome to Nicli Pizzeria Bar, a hidden gem tucked away at 3142 Highland Blvd, North Vancouver. This vibrant eatery is not just a place to grab a slice; it's an experience crafted upon the rich tradition of Neapolitan pizza making. As I stepped through the door, the warm, cozy decor and welcoming atmosphere enveloped me like a hug. You can sense the passion for authentic Italian cuisine right away.
The menu is a celebration of creative flavor combinations. Standouts like the Mortadella & Iberica pizzas are more than just food; they are culinary masterpieces that dance on the palate. I couldn't help but echo customer Melissa Mallari's sentiments when she enthusiastically proclaimed these pizzas to be "the best quality/flavour combinations" she has ever encountered. It's a claim that reverberates after every bite.
The craft of slicing pizza with scissors, as noted by satisfied diner Sarah Carsello, adds a fun twist to the dining experience, turning a simple meal into an interactive joy. And let's not forget the meatballs—they are nothing short of perfection, earning every bit of the "chef’s kiss" praise from customers eager to sing their praises.
During my visit, I couldn't resist sampling the Diavola pizza and the rucola salad, the favorites of another grateful patron, Farryn VanHumbeck. Each component was fresh, expertly baked, and bursting with flavor that lingers on the taste buds long after the last bite. It’s this commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that has made Nicli Pizzeria Bar a standout in Vancouver's bustling food scene.
Whether you’re joining friends for happy hour or indulging in a leisurely meal, the spirited ambiance and friendly staff—like the ever-energetic Curt—make this pizzeria a truly delightful spot. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a fun outing or a quick lunch with your loved ones. The Aperol Spritz during the happy hour is a must-try; it effortlessly complements the vibrant flavors of the menu.
In conclusion, Nicli Pizzeria Bar is not just about great food; it's about moments shared over sumptuous dishes. With its exceptional offerings, welcoming vibe, and staff that genuinely cares, this pizzeria is destined to become a regular stop on your culinary journey through North Vancouver. Happy dining!
“ Amazing pizza!! Very friendly and welcoming staff. We popped in before the dinner rush and within 30 minutes the entire place was packed!! Very cozy decor with plenty of windows. I loved the NA beer option. My first time cutting pizza with scissors - so fun and easy!! The meatballs were to die for - truly chefs kiss!!! ”
“ Popped in for a quick bite late lunch on our way through NV. Was expecting good Neapolitan pizza but this was outSTANDING! Got the Mortadella & Iberica on our server’s recommendation. Both pizzas are honestly the best quality/flavour combinations I’ve ever had on pizza. Big points for creative flavour profiles that are actually iconic, not just for novelty. I’ll be dreaming of that Morty pizza until next time, which I will definitely go out of my way to enjoy again asap. Thanks for the rec!! ”
“ Dylan, Johnny, and Barbod took great care of us during our happy hour visit today. This is the best pizza in Vancouver if not the world! (My favs are the Diavola pizza, mortadella pizza, and the rucola salad. ”
“ We’ve been to this pizzeria several times with friends, and it never disappoints! The pizza is always top-notch—delicious, fresh, and perfectly baked. Their happy hour is fantastic, especially the Aperol Spritz. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy amazing food. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a full meal, the quality is always excellent. Highly recommended this place for a fun time with friends! ”
“ Curt was great! Full of energy and genuinely pleasant! The pizza was amazing and we really enjoyed ourselves here. The only iffy part was the side room isn’t as bright and open as the main dining lounge but still a nice area. ”
“ We originally planned to have dinner at Nicli, but it was full, so we went with takeout instead. Overall, we enjoyed all the pizzas and pasta we ordered. My favorites were the salumi funghi pizza and the cream pasta. ”
“ Cute place, amazing food. I can't get over how good their focaccia was. Everything was flavorful, great balance. We had the meatballs and mortadella, I loved the flavor and texture. They didn't stinge on toppings. We will come back to try their pasta. Other tables' pasta looked so yum. ”
“ The food was absolutely incredible...the most authentic Italian pasta I’ve had in Vancouver. Fresh ingredients, excellent atmosphere. There was an issue that had nothing to do with the restaurant, yet the waiter kindly approached us and offered a compensation for the inconvenience (even though we hadn’t complained about it). The experience was elevated by the exceptional service, far beyond what I expected. I just happened to walk by and decided to go in, and from the moment I stepped in, I was welcomed with a level of hospitality that’s rare to find these days. Highly recommended for both the food and the service...everyone was incredibly friendly, and the ambiance was fantastic! ”
