Nico's Pizza Pasta Lisburn Road is a casual Italian restaurant at 54 Lisburn Road in Belfast. Its dining room and enclosed heated terrace provide a relaxed setting for lunch or dinner, with table bookings, collection and delivery all available from the same neighbourhood location.
Pizza sits at the centre of the menu, with classic tomato and cheese combinations joined by meat, vegetable and house toppings. Rice flour pizza is available as an alternative, although the restaurant clearly notes that its rice flour pizza and pasta are not suitable for people with coeliac disease.
Pasta and other Italian favourites give diners an alternative to pizza, while starters and sides make it easy to build a shared meal. A separate vegan menu adds dedicated plant based options, and a children’s selection helps the restaurant accommodate family groups.
The full drinks list includes cocktails, beer and wine, supporting both a quick meal and a longer evening visit. Regular lunch offers and service seven days a week give the Lisburn Road restaurant a flexible, accessible character without moving away from its focus on familiar Italian comfort food.
Address: 54 Lisburn Road, Belfast BT9 6AF, Northern Ireland
