We were invited to meet up with friends and this was our first time. We loved the pizza, Pros: Good service, good pizza , good time Cons: parking

Worst

EDIBLE, WITH DECENT FLAVOR, BUT FAR TOO WEIGHTY WITH TOPPINGS, CAN'T REALLY TASTE CRUST. MOSTLY GENERIC AS MOST COMMERCIAL TAKE OUT IN THIS CITY. A FAR CRY FROM THE REAL THING. ...

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/24/2014

Wicks is an epic pizza place. If you ask me what kind of pizza I want, I'm going with Wicks! Unfortunately they don't deliver to my house, though they do have three locations that I know about, I don;t fall in any of the service areas. That doesn't stop me though I still eat here every time I get a chance. Thanks guys keep banging out those pizzas! more

Will never be back 1/12/2010

I drove 120 miles to pick up a 'big wick' after the UL game last night. Pizza looked fine on top, but the crust was like burnt toast underneath and sides. Didn't notice this till I got home. Called them and they only offered me a $5 credit on my next purchase. I'm sure they don't care about my 1 or 2 purchases a year but they will care when all my family and friends who live in Louisville will no longer patronize their business. Cons: crust was like burnt toast more

Absolutely the best anywhere 6/6/2009

My family travels a lot and we always try a local pizza place - not a franchise. This one is by far the best pizza that we have found. We live 3 1/2 hours away from Wick's Pizza and have literally gotten up on a Saturday and driven to Louisville just for pizza. more

Hands Down the BEST PIZZA IN LOUISVILLE 6/30/2008

After moving to Louisville from NYC, I was so thrilled to be in walking distance of Wick's on Baxter. This is by far the best pizza in Louisville and even rivals some of my favorite pizza joints in NYC. The toppings are always fresh (I love the spinach, garlic and mushroom) and the service is always great! I take all of my guests from NYC there and they all STILL talk about the breadsticks and garlic butter. One friend even made me go back three nights in a row, he just couldn't get enough! I usually end up getting carry-out or delivery since the place is so busy inside. But who can complain? Of course it's busy, it's friggin delicious! Pros: Great food and beer menu, fresh ingredients. Cons: Parking is a nightmare more

Extremely poor service/OK pizza 6/1/2007

Went to Wick's for the first time after hearing people absolutely gush about the pizza there. First, the parking wasn't very good. We got inside and were seated quickly but it was very crowded and we almost didn't fit at the table we were seated at. There weren't any more options though. After that, we saw or server less and less. It was absolutely unreal the amount of time it took to get our food. We could not get our waitress to come back to the table for re-fills or anything else. The pizza was good, but nothing to write home about. After waiting for almost a half our to get our ticket, we were almost ready to just leave we were so frustrated. She finally came back and it was wrong. Needless to say, I am definitely in no rush to go back there. Cons: Sloooooow service, loud more

not what it's cracked up to be 6/7/2006

People swear by Wick's. Maybe you have to be a Louisville native to appreciate their pizza, but I found it boring and unappetizing. Each slice is weighed down with a mountain of cheese (and not even GOOD cheese) that takes over the flavor of the sauce and crust. Any pizza place that offers a chicken bacon ranch pizza seems un-authentic to me. I find it rather pricey as well. There are other local pizza establishments that I would choose before Wick's. Not impressed. more

Best Pizza in town 3/13/2006

This is definately the best pizza in town period....HOwever a trip to wick's also gets you the best atmosphere and service of any pizza place in town. Also this is probably the 2nd best pizza in the country behind Giordano's in Chicago! Pros: deliscious, great service, deliscious Cons: parking more

Awesome food 12/27/2005

By far the pizza is one of a kind. I've read how the sauce isn't much in flavor, but in my opinion it compliments the ingredients. This is a great sports bar, too. I go to the Baxter location every Sunday for NFL. It's a great place to hang out with the regulars. Highly recommend this pizza. Pros: Unique flavor, Great sports bar, great service more

WICKS WOCKS! 9/20/2005

I have had pizza from San Francisco to Blue Ridge Summit, PA and THIS is the best Pizza by far. The Dixie Hwy location rocks with murals from local artists and a friendly crew. AND they deliver to my house! OUTSTANDING! What I appreciate the most is the smoke-free family area. Wicks Wocks! Pros: GOOD PIZZA!, SMOKEFREE FAMILY AREA, AWESOME MURALS more

Not what i was expecting 5/15/2005

Everyone said the Pizza is the best but I found it not even close. I love flavorfull sauce and they use little sauce. I love greasy chease I found the cheese being hard, and the crust had no flavor. Thumbs down. I have found other pizza places in the area to be much better, so before you settle for Wicks look around a little bit more. Pros: salad Cons: expensive more

Wicks is a winner! 12/11/2003

The price for the Big Wick may scare you, but the quality and taste are worth it. Wicks is a favorite of my family and friends the Cajun BBQ Pizza Bread is to die for. If you are tired of the same old pizza and want to add some spice to your life then try Wick's and you won't regret it. Just be warned that once you try it you will keep coming back for the great taste! Pros: Taste, Toppings, Originality Cons: Price, Wait more

It's not that good. 7/18/2003

It's obvious these reviews come from folks who haven't had many pies outside of Louisville. Anybody with a breath who has had pizza anywhere outside of the 'Ville could tell you this place couldn't survive for about a year. A bland-salty-mess of a sauce (tomato paste with a bit of spice) destroys this mess. The crust is good and toppings plenty, but again, the sauce KILLS Wick's pies. The service is great and the owners are SUPER nice, but, try Bearno's or, sadly, Papa John's. Pros: Good crust, Great People, Great service Cons: bland sauce KILLS, this pie. more
