On behalf of the Martin family, I would like to express out sympathies to the Barraco family. My late father (Robert R. Martin) was a friend of Nick and admired him greatly.

So sorry to hear of Nick's passing. I've enjoyed Vito n Nick's pizza since I was a kid at Little Flower Grade and High Schools. I now live in CA, where there is NEVER to be found a GOOD pizza. But, have had the pleasure and joy of really good Chicago friends, bringing me Nito and Vick's pizza (had to be frozen...but was STILL more than terrific!) Thank God you started once of the BEST PIZZAS in the whole USA....I would give anything NOW to have a wondertul tasty, Chicago Pizza from Nito and Vick's. God Bless you and your family..You will always be in our thoughts and prayers! Esp now! Pam Walsh Foley

Nick and Vitos was an old family favorite. My parents Don and Virginia Batastini took us there as kids and later as adults. I have the fondest of memories of both the restaurant and Nick. I will pray for your family.

Perry and I are your Atlanta, Georgia family. We last visted with Nick about a year ago while attending my mom's funeral in Chicago. We send our deepest sympathy to your family. Nick was my friend. He always made me feel welcomed when I would return to Chicago from the Army on leave. After moving away from Chicago and not having lived there for the last 32 years, I can't remember a time I did not stop into the restaurant any time I was in Chicago. Maria, you and Nick made my wife, Perry and I feel as though we were part of your family. I still have the menu Nick gave me when he told me if ever he opened an Atlanta franchise, I could have it.

Nick, we will miss you, my friend.



God Bless You All,

Perry and Tom Walinski
