Check the package availability:

$ nix-env -qaP '.*pip.*'

Install the desired version e,g:

$ nix-env -i python3.7-pip-19.0.3

pip is available as a package on NixOS. For example, for the default Python interpreter, the attribute is python.pkgs.pip.

Try using this command python -m ensurepip --default-pip, after the installation is complete you can update it to the latest version.
