Hysen’s Nizza Pizza

A perfect place to stop for amazing pizza and pasta! Great service too! It was a nice sit down after a long day at the stock show! Very friendly people working there.

Best. Italian. Food. Ever. We’ve been eating at this place for several months and the consistency in taste, quality and service is by far some of the best you will come across in the food/​restaurant industry! Enjoy every bite and take the rest home, there’s always enough to fill up and take home!

I’ll give it to you that the food is pretty damn good & I will go there during the day. What’s irritating is when you try to turn it into a restaurant at night, ridiculous! It is what it is quit trying to make it a full service restaurant. Either be a full service restaurant or order at the counter. Stupid.

I never write reviews but I had to on this place, the pizza is amazing. Dont be fooled by the outside appearance. The staff is great and the food is dead on the money. The marinara sauce is really the highlight of the pizza. Highly recommend the deep dish. Definitely will be hitting this place up when back in Fort Worth.

One of the great unknown treasures in Fort Worth. While it doesnt look like much on the exterior, inside they are serving some of the NY style pizza I have found in the metroplex.
I discovered this place in 2011 when I moved to the downtown area and since then has been my wife & I’s go to for pizza/​pasta in the area. Whether it be take-​out or dine-​in we are always treated to consistently good food by the friendly staff.
The quailty, fresh ingredients (no canned mushrooms here), and price cannot be beat. I have had everything from the pizza, to chicken penne al a vodka, chicken marsala, meatball & cold italian sandwhich. Even the chocolate cannoli is amazing! They even have BYOB which makes it a great spot for my friends and I to all get together for a great family style meal on the cheap!
This blow Joe’s away, and it really is not even fair. You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not give this place a shot, but hey more for me!

They say pizza is their specialty and that it’s NY style pizza and I’m going to have to disagree. I had a regular plain slice, a pepperoni slice, and the garlic knots. The slices weren’t even heated all the way through and there was barely any sauce or cheese on the slices. They didn’t really have any flavor… I’d rather buy those dollar slices in the city that suck but they taste better than the ones I had here. The garlic knots weren’t that good either. I was really disappointed that I paid almost 8 dollars for 2 slices and the garlic knots. Their prices are too high for the quality of the pizza. Guess I’ll still be looking for decent pizza in Fort Worth.

My boyfriend is one of their regulars. Every time we go in, we’re always treated like family. Everything is delicious. I can’t express enough how nice is it is to come here. They greet us by name, know what we like, and they always make an effort to come by to catch up. I never leave unsatisfied. I don’t know what we’re going to do when Jason graduates, but luckily, that’s not for another year! Thanks for another great experience! See you soon, family! Best pizza, great service, stop in, you won’t regret it!

Cruising around fort worth and decided to give this place a try. Pleasantly surprised, the food was good and the workers were awesome. They were friendly and welcoming. The prices were more than reasonable especially the pizza. Big slices with lots of flavor. What do you have to lose. You like pizza? Then eat here!
We ordered an xl pizza that was great and a pasta plate that came with manicotti, stuffed shells, chicken parmigiana and spaghetti. All was wonderful minus the spaghetti. It was not for me but it doesn’t change how I feel about the place.
See you next time we are in Texas!

The staff was SO rude to us for NO reason what so ever. We called in an order for pick up, arrived and we were the only ones there. We let them know that we were there for a pick up order and the cashier says while rolling his eyes and throwing his hands up «WELL WHATS YOUR NAME?!» We were in shock. He continued to be rude until the moment we walked out the door. Then the pizza was mediocre at best. We will never eat here again. Don’t waste you time, just go to NY Joe’s Pizza & Pasta instead!

The pizza was awesome, we had a large «Works» I have to say it was one of the best pizzas. We ate half took it home for the next two meals.

Visiting Ft. Worth from OKC, hungry for some pizza, but wanted something local instead of something from one of the big chain pizzas joints. Prices are good, food isn’t. Lesson learned.

I was skeptical when I saw the drive-​thru but apparently the Texas weather makes that a convenient element for quick dining options. What a delightful surprise this was. Fantastic pizza with fresh toppings and good service. We ended up spilling a glass of tea with the young ones in tow but no problem, they were happy to help clean up. They mixed up our pizza order but were so apologetic and quickly fixed us another pie. Great stop when you are at in the museum district and looking for a family friendly option.

Everything I’ve had from here is amazing, from pizza to pAsta and subs. My go to place to eat.

Very good pizza and service. Owner was extremely friendly and served us very well. We will return for future visits

I saw an ad in Fort Worth Weekly and being the city explorer that I am I got a friend to go with me for dinner one week night. We both ordered from the Nizza’s Homemade Pasta portion of the menu. They have 21 dishes for $ 7.95 (6.95) if you go at lunch time. You order and pay at the counter and are given a number to take to your table and they bring your dinner out to you. I tried #11 which is Spaghetti with mushrooms. It was wonderful and is served with a small bread basket of garlic knots. They are good too. My friend also ordered from the Freshly Made Subs portion of the menu and tried the Chicken Parmigiana. It’s $ 7.95 including drink. We both enjoyed the food, loved the price and will definitely return.

I work right around the corner from Nizza pizza and haven’t been taking advantage of this wonderful restaurant. Twice last week, I called in my order and then picked it up at the drive-​thru window.
The first day I ordered ziti pasta with a pink vodka sauce. Oh my, it was incredible and the serving was enough to share. And what a deal and $ 5.95 for the entrée with delicious garlic «doughknots». I also ordered a side salad. Their house dressing is the tomato based Italian that was made famous by Moni’s in Arlington. The salad was crisp and the dressing was SO delicious.
A couple of days later, I ordered a sub sandwich, the Italian combo. It’s a 12″ sub for $ 5.95. It was absolutely one of the best subs I’ve ever eaten. I ordered the sub toasted. There was plenty of meat on the sub and it was packed with lettuce and tomato. A side of the house Italian dressing was also included. The bread was crunchy and fresh and the perfect texture. It was heavenly at ever bite. I’m definitely hooked!

I am new to Ft Worth and wanted to check out the pizza scene– I unfortunately am stuck downtown, and wanted delivery so checked this place out. I got a salad, pizza and garlic bread.
First the salad– I don’t know if anyone watches family guy, but there is one that’s talks about pizza place salads, and how odd they are– pickled carrots, check. Huge tomatoes, check. Tons of lettuce barely torn or chopped, check. It was just a hot mess, and for $ 7 I was expecting something a little better prepared.
The garlic cheese bread was barely that. It had the slightest hint of garlic that was disappointing given the name, though there was a good amount of cheese.
The pizza was average tasting, but insanely greasy, and topping were ok, but nothing memorable, and the sauce was bland.
Delivery took 60 minutes, which was 15 minutes longer than quoted, and considering the time of day, I can’t imagine an excuse except laziness as my food was luck warm when it arrived.

I don’t know what happened or maybe i’m thinking of the wrong place but, this pizza used to be pretty tolerable!
I ordered a Large Pineapple and Canadian Bacon pizza to be delivered to my place which showed up in a decent time. Upon first glance and first couple of whiffs from the pizza I noticed it didn’t have that Pizza smell for some reason and was super oily looking. I should’ve taken a picture. I bite into it and the crust is already crumbling although it is pretty hard and almost over cooked but not burnt. Similar to unseasoned and very hard Papadum, It was like biting a tortilla chip you found in the couch after a week of looking for it.
I couldn’t finish that pizza.
I didn’t understand since my neighbors ordered the same pizza once before in which they gave me a slice and it was remarkable. I told them about it and they also said that when they ordered from there again, Nizza’s Pizza missed the mark as I described.
So I order a Deep Dish a month later just to be sure. That was a mistake too. The Pizza once again had this stale tasting cheese and was very very oily. The was hardly any pizza sauce in it. The Crust/​Bread of the pizza was cardboard hard and yes very oily as well. Horrible deep dish. I ate 2 pieces before I had to get rid of it all and sit there looking very stupid that I tried this place again.
Never again. Unless someone figures out how they used to make pizza here.

Easily best pizza in Ft. Worth. In a landscape where there is not much competition, Nizza wins big and without effort. The most authentic NY /​Northeastern style pie I have had anywhere near this area. There is some competition right off of camp bowie and more coming to magnolia area but Nizza may still be the king.
They have several pies ready for you to grab a slice as well as Calzones, Stromboli and Pepperoni Rolls which i have not seen since touring NY.
The crust is crispy and the texture is near perfection. Order the 18″ for the real feel and fold it over like a local. At $ 12.95 base price, order two. Happy Chef and Family.

It’s funny how different locations of a chain can be. My husband came here for lunch last week and really enjoyed it, so we visited the local Arlington branch and were not impressed at all. He insisted I try Hysen’s though to try the items they had here and not at Arlington, and I reluctantly agreed. I told him that if the food sucked I was going to start my review with «My husband is on crack.»
Well, he’s happy to discover he’s not on crack. This location has significantly better food than the other one. Everything from the garlic knots to the pizza rolls were better and some of the pasta surprisingly decent.
My kiddo ordered shrimp alfredo and the alfredo was much better than I was expecting, and better than most of the other places around town. I ordered manicotti and it was decent, doesn’t hold a candle to Aventino’s but most places don’t. The meatballs on my husband’s ziti were tasty and the pepperoni/​ground beef pizza roll was light years better than the stuffed pizza I had in Arlington. The pizza roll has a very thin crust, not at all doughy, and has enough pepperoni in it to dominate the flavor.
Most of the pasta dishes are very reasonably priced. Shrimp dishes really aren’t the best buy here; you can get fettucine alfredo w/​o shrimp for half the price. I probably won’t make a special trip to Fort Worth to come here but if I worked or lived close by it’s a great place for a cheap meal. Service was excellent as well, very attentive and they gave us all freshly filled to-​go cups for our soda. (At the Arlington location, it was one refill per paid soda, probably because it’s across the street from the high school, but here they were very generous with refills).
We didn’t actually order a «pizza» per se, and I’m not sure I would have cared for it as I’m pretty picky on pizza, but the pastas & pizza «roll» were all pretty good.
tl;dr: Good place for a casual & inexpensive meal. It’s not 5 star but it’s a solid 4.
