Nick's Pizza And Clam - Smithtown

I absolutely adore the location, even during winter! The homemade clam chowder is simply delightful. We also tried the mussels with garlic cream sauce, which were rich and flavorful, and came in a generous portion. The menu offers a fantastic variety of food and an impressive selection of beers. The owner/chef was incredibly friendly and warm; it's evident that he is passionate about his work. My only critique is that they use Styrofoam plates and bowls, and I believe they could switch to something more eco-friendly.

Great little location with mostly outdoor seating. Had a local recommendation for this off the beaten path pizza and seafood joint. Walk up ordering and take a number. I had 1/2 dozen oysters and a cold lobster roll. Oysters were good could have been cleaned a bit better with more care in shucking. This resulted in some shell in the meat but pretty good overall. Had to sample a lobster roll because there is only one first time on a lobster roll. Have to say it was tasty and meat ratio was pretty good. Overall seemed a bit pricey for what was delivered but was enjoyable. Dinner mate had the fried platter and that was just as expected. The fried scallops were pretty darn good I have to say. I would try this place again for the pizza.

Quintessential Long Island clam bar!!! Outdoor eating, side of the road casual with the freshest seafood!!! Best in class doesn't go far enough to describe the friendly service, classic clam bar fare served with a smile!!!! Happy this is I my neighborhood!!!! Can't go wrong with soft shell crab or lobster bisque, fish and chips..... lol bing it!!!!!

We luv Nicky's (as we call it! bcuz it's become a summer tradition to sit outside, drink a beer, watch the traffic stream by on 25A while the kids run up and down the little hill adjacent to the eating/picnic area. They serve Excellent Steamers that never disappoint...and of course...the pizza is good too! We also like the soundtrack(s they play, so it's a win-win way to spend a couple of hours outside summer chillaxin LI-style.

I've been there twice since I live nearby! The outdoor dining area is lovely, and there are no servers, which means no tipping is necessary (haha). Overall, it's a great atmosphere for dining on sunny summer days! I really enjoy their clams; they are always very fresh! I also recommend the mussels. The portion sizes are generous and definitely worth the prices. We left feeling completely full!
