 The player on my right was playing 80/0 and folding every time he limped, so I've been iso'ing him a lot but the hands I've shown have been legit. This villian was playing really nitty. When the board paired I expected him to give up most of the bluff range bc it doesn't look like I'm going to fold. Thoughts?

 EZ raise to $4 on flop. Fold to 3bet.

Turn fold. You have no idea how good your hand is and are very very unlikely to improve. Move on to next hand.

 Any specific reads on how nitty he is? I think I call down. I'd rather call river than fold if I am calling turn, which I do vs. a semiunknown player that I refer to as a nit. If he's amazingly nitty you can fold turn. I would never raise flop like swigg said unless he is somehow capable of making moves.

does anyone like raising small on the flop so you can check back on the turn?

 Hm I wouldn't raise a nitty player who leads into you after calling your PFR on this kind of board.. fold turn, or fold river yeah. Sometimes I call river to see what he has

This is kind of a game flow hand. I think he's putting you on a value-plan, I would be more inclined to think it was a bluff if it was 1, 1.5, 5 or some bet sizing like that. I doubt he's putting in a thin value bet.

Precisely.

I'd play it the same until river. I don't see much value in a flop raise tbh although his range is very wide there imo.
These guys love to small bet 3 streets with MP/LP, I'd expect to be ahead on the river almost always really.
