Nik Pizzi is coming out of retirement and channeling his Italian heritage as he takes on the Tarantella! Originally not in the performance order, he could not say no to Tricia when she approached him about sharing his talents and joining us to capture the Mirror Ball Trophy! In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, spending time outside and traveling to locations that no one has ever heard of—most recently, the Faroe Islands.

Nik attended Lakehead University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. He currently works for the government of Canada as a Case Manager. In his dancing prime, he was a jazz and tap specialist at International Dance Academy and wowed many a crowd with his “PIZZIazz”. He stole hearts in his younger years, and we know he’s going to do it again once he hits the stage!

While not being able to say no, Nik is really dancing in memory of his mother who lost her battle with cancer on July 1st of 2024. We know that Michelle is smiling down, hollering with excitement and laughing her butt off. Nik and Laura will be a couple to watch out for!
