DETROIT, MI, April 10, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- After a short stint in design rehab, Niki's Pizza is ready to welcome patrons back to their Greektown location with a new layout and delectable food and drink specials. The Grecian theme of this Greektown staple is sure to impress as the public can expect the same delicious Greek cuisine prepared for over 30 years. While Niki's is now open, grand re-opening festivities will take place during the week of April 12th and will feature press tours for local print, television, radio and online media on April 14th from 4pm-7pm. Niki's will also host the "Chow Down for Charity" pizza eating contest with participation by mid- and Southeast-Michigan Greek fraternities and sororities on April 15th from 7pm-10pm.
Hailed by GQ magazine writer Alan Richman as one of the nation's 25 best pizzas, Niki's has taken its place as an icon in the local community. It is not only the pizza that allows this restaurant to stand apart as one of Detroit's, and the nation's, best. Their menu has offerings that keep customers coming back for more. From the flaming Saganaki (and its beloved "Opa!" cry) to the guest-favorite Niki's Greek Salad dressing, Niki's will always be the hometown favorite for many of its customers.
With roots tracing back to their grand opening in 1970, Niki's has seen, and withstood, the economic cycle of the surrounding restaurant industry. With restaurant closures seeming to be the norm in Detroit, Niki's has used the same winning ideals to ensure their continued success in the community. Award-winning dishes and community dedication have allowed Niki's to withstand time and still have faithful patrons. Greektown has historically been one of Detroit's more popular areas, and Niki's Pizza has proven to be one of the area's favorites.
For owner Dennis Kefallinos, Niki's is not only the local pizza place--it is a setting where patrons can come together and have the Greek experience without ever having to buy a plane ticket. The communal setting will be a favorite of regulars and first time visitors alike. The new interior decor, boasting a fully-stocked wine cellar and bar, adds an ambiance of contemporary Greek culture. Moreover, the spacious outdoor seating area will allow patrons to appreciate the beauty of this charming establishment and its lively surroundings.
With the April 2010 re-opening, Niki's has great events planned to usher in its new era. The addition of an art gallery in the restaurant, showcasing images of the Greek countryside and a special weekly Thursday artist feature, serve as a fantastic touch of class. Furthermore, located above Niki's is Niki's Lounge. This venue has been expanded into four entertainment areas that now include The Tiger Lounge, The Hollywood Bar and Arriba. Many exciting events are planned over the next few months and Niki's is excited to have the community that has been there for over 30 years to partake in the excitement.
