A Partnership In Pizza Heaven
Nick’s Pizza, formerly located in Prices Corner, is set to reopen later this month as Nick’s Pizza Parlor & Bar in North Wilmington’s Shoppes of Graylyn, in a spot previously occupied by Ulysses American Gastropub. The new family-friendly restaurant is a collaboration between Nick Vouras (Nick’s Pizza) and David & Joanne Govatos (Swigg Wine). With a nostalgic atmosphere inspired by the classic ‘70s and ‘80s pizza joints, the space will feature plenty of seating for dining-in, a spacious bar at which to have a beer and watch the game, and offer both delivery and takeout.

New Area Cooking Show Debuts This Month
Having trouble finding a Valentine’s Day reservation at your favorite restaurant?
If so, the creators of a new area cooking show suggest staying home and cooking a fresh meal. In addition to learning something enlightening, they say, you might just win a cool prize.
The show, Plate at 8, is hosted by Chef Dana Herbert, who is certainly no stranger to cooking shows, having won season one of TLC’s Cake Boss: Next Great Baker back in 2011. Since then, Herbert has been featured on many other cooking shows such as The Cooking Channel’s Cake Hunters, WEtv’s Wedding Cake Wars, and TLC’s Ultimate Cake Off.
Plate at 8 co-creator Don McNeill describes the show as an “interactive culinary experience that delivers the country’s finest chefs and restaurants into viewers homes.”
The pilot episode sees Chef Herbert and Dan Bulter of Piccolina Toscana join forces to create a special Valentine’s meal. To sweeten the experience, the show creators are offering one lucky viewer an “Ultimate Night Out” prize, which includes dinner for two at Piccolina Tocsana, a stay at the Hotel du Pont, and a limo ride.
