Nick-N-Willy's Pizza is a small chain that was founded in Boulder, CO. They offer dine-in, take-out, and take-n-bake pizza. You can get any of the pizzas on their menu as a take-n-bake. What sets them apart from Papa Murphy's here is that they offer a more gourmet pizza, although they don't have anything similar to Papa Murphy's Chicago Style stuffed pizza. They have fresh basil, spinach, and garlic as well as sun dried tomatoes, feta, fontina, and provolone cheese, and many other fresh ingredients.
While their take-n-bake pizzas are good, pizzas baked in their own oven are very nice. They have a steel open flame gas oven (it looks like a brick oven, but with steel) that they bake their pizzas in. The crust that comes out of that oven is wonderful. It's crisp, yet very light and airy. I could probably just eat that crust and be happy, but topped with fresh ingredients and you have yourself a tasty pizza.
Also, if you're looking for a little dessert, their Cinn-N-Bites are really good. They are basically like little cinnamon roll balls, little balls of dough covered in cinnamon and whatnot, baked, and covered in frosting. Delicious. They also have an apple crisp pizza that I have not had, but it sounds like it has to be good.

We prefer Frankie's - hands down.
Frankie's is ok. Their pizza never impressed us too much. it's certainly better than Pizza Hut or Dominoes. It was always what we ordered until we found Umbria. Have you tried them? Their gyro pizza is surprisingly awesome. Now if we're too lazy to cook or leave the couch, we call Umbria. We have been meaning to try Frankie's deep dish, though.
We just tried Umbria in February, when they launched their mailer campaign (never knew they were there before then) and YES, I agree, good stuff! I'm from Montreal, QC so I'm a crust girl and I've got to tell you, I'm still convinced that Frankie's classic crust, picked up, is the best. We do need to try Umbria's take out though, the last time we were there, we ate in and the owners showed and, they were even speaking Italian... now that's my kind of resto.
What are your thoughts on Gyropolis?
That's one of those places that we keep forgetting about and then occasionally we drive by that way and think, "We really need to try Gyropolis sometime." Have you been?
