A gigantic wood-fired pizza from Rome, a dream and a leap of faith.
That's how Nicky D's Wood-Fired Pizza came to life.
Nicky D, was a long time resident of New York. He had a lucrative career
as an actor. But he wisely supplemented his income by following his other
passion for cooking and opened a pizzeria in Times Square.
And then that "Go West Young Man" syndrome kicked in and he relocated to Los Angeles where he continued his acting career. Still, he longed for another restaurant and waited for the right place to present itself. Finally, a former house in the Silverlake Community of Hollywood, California called his name. At first, Nicky and his wife ran the entire place.
Were they out of their minds? Yes, but they persevered and moved the stumbling blocks out of the way, fervently praying with each new step they took. It was worth it. Nicky D's Wood-Fired Pizza is a dream come true. When someone says, "Oh,that's impossible." Nicky just smiles.
His motto is simple. "Believe."
