One of my most memorable bites from all of 2024! The staff was beyond friendly and welcoming. I loved the offering of half half pies and wish more places would offer that. Came inspired by Andrew zimmern's bizzare food pit stop here. Detroit style Half half: dried fish (dried shrimp and fish, roasted garlic, onions, cilantro, fish paste) + naga (chicken, red onion, cilantro, and naga sauce (borderline ghost pepper sriracha) with side of their famous ghost sauce! The dried fish had a nice saltiness to it and good texture. The naga sauce was what I was most excited for...can't say it was as hot as advertised by had stellar flavor. It felt a bit more like a Jamaican scotch bonnet pepper sauce. read more

The food was awesome and for this being my first time here the service was good also. I had the ghost pizza, because I'm a spicy fanatic. Skeptical of the scoville level I only ordered a small. It's rather small restaurant as you could only seat 10 comfortably. I recommend if you crave something different. Also realize it on the high price side. Enjoy! read more

I was recommended to try this pizza place because of their unique flavors. They definitely had very unique flavors to choose from, and I was most interested in trying the Bengali inspired flavors. The Naga Pizza was good but very spicy! The dry fish pizza was not my favorite and a little bit dry to be honest. It is definitely worth an experience tho. There is not really any seating inside the restaurant and the parking is street parking FYI. read more

I was recently vacationing on Lake Huron and a local asked me if I'd been to Amar Pizza and suggested we stop there on our way home. I was quite intrigued that I was being recommended a place to try that was over 2 hours away from where we were, but stopped we did, and damn I'm so glad we did! First, how on Earth does this place have an average rating of a 4? The low ratings must be from a long time ago because this place runs extremely well and they have mastered their unique pizza. This place is one to go to and one to tell all your friends about. We were planning on ordering 2 small deep dish pizzas- a Naga and a Tandoori, but we ended up ordering a large and they were willing to split the pizza in half- which was a cost savings and super nice of them, for the same amount of pizza. The cashier was super welcoming and friendly and walked us through the menu and I thought her customer service was top notch. We ordered our pizza and were quoted 20 minutes, and it was ready in a little less time than that. The pizza was made fresh and boiling hot from the oven. Both pizzas belong in their own category of food. They are pizza but they also taste like something else. The components were well mastered- the crust was crispy and fluffy, and tasted a bit like a light focaccia. The flavors were well balanced- not too greasy or spicy or hot- really just perfect. I love the way they chop red onions, it really allows you to get the full onion flavor which I love. The interior was modest but clean. There was bulletproof glass like other reviewers mentioned. I'm not from the area but the neighborhood seemed safe, just not a white area, and I would have eaten inside if I didn't have dogs waiting in the car. They have an extensive of typical and more unique beverages. I couldn't resist trying the Mango Pepsi, which was delicious. The prices were incredibly reasonable- I spent $40 that covered four meals. And the pizza was really good reheated too. They charge a 4% fee to pay with a credit card. I marked this as a place to definitely return next time Im in the area. Thanks Amar Pizza for a great experience! read more

Loving Hamtramk lately, and this spot has been on the radar for years. I am a huge spice lover and was ready to rock! For this reason I also got the wife and son a Mediterranean pie. (Side note- the Mediterranean does have some spicy salt type of crust dust, we doctored it up for my toddler and he loved it!). The flavour on the ghost pepper pizza was top notch! Very well balanced, that is for the mere mortals. I would definitely ask for extra spice (if that's an option) if you really want to sweat while you eat. The Mediterranean pizza was also very good, I think they use the same chicken on all the pies- that's not a bad thing. Looking forward to exploring the menu more! I think spicy beef is next. While waiting for my order I was chatting with the guy at the counter, really nice dude. Apparently ghost, then naga (best seller), then tandoori in order of spice. read more

8-2-2024 Came here after the Model T museum because of a NYT distinction. It was good, more ok, then good. Didn't mind it's "divey-ness" but our Naga pizza was kind of interesting but we thought NYT talked it up too much. read more

This place is more hit than miss. I originally came here several years ago with the vegetarian pizza and was not impressed. However, when I recently got the feta and spinach pizza w/garlic and onions with the Naga sauce for takeout, that came out much better. The Naga sauce is excellent and has a spicy curry flavor, yet was very manageable. One caveat is that the parking nearby leaves more to be desired and I wouldn't quite call their square pizza Detroit style. read more

My bf has been raving about the pizza from Amar & their ghost pepper sauce pretty much since the day I met him. I finally got to try it! $25 for a large 1/2 naga-1/2 spice pizza seemed a bit much. And I wonder what a small pizza from here looks like, because the large isn't that big. But I love the concept-Detroit-style pizza+Bangladeshi flavors. The naga pizza is delicious. I wish I had just done that one. The sauce is sooo good. The spice pizza, despite it's name, was bland. However, was really good heated up the next day. The flavor and spice was so good. There are only 2 tables inside, so it's best to order takeout. read more

I used to love Amar Pizza when it first opened. Now, the pizza prices here have drastically increased and the food quality has drastically decreased. Overall, I think the pizzas here suck. My biggest disappointment is the Naga Pizza, which used to be my favorite. For $15, I expected it to taste even better now, but it did not. In fact, there are even fewer toppings on the pizza. The $18 Dry Fish Pizza was burnt. That's all I gotta say. read more

The naga pizza was extremely hot in spice but was good. The chicken tandoori pizza was absolutely delicious. The service was good.

Super yummy pizza! The naga is so good and the tandoori pizza balanced out the spice of the naga. They will make a split pie, so don't worry about having to buy a ton of pizza to get a good selection. Crust was fluffy and yummy, not at all greasy. They also have a ton of traditional pizzas, kid food, and some biryanis. Two small areas of warning: - it only has two tables so be prepared to possibly carry out - drinks are limited to soda and mango lassi (it has some heat, so maybe not the best for kids...) read more

Bangladeshi pizza. They have been around for 10 years, 7 in hamtramck and 3 years in this location. What an interesting concept that's intrigued me to try it out once, finally made it here. Split pizzas are available on square or rounds as the minimum medium size pizzas. I got them to go for dinner later, hubby will be ecstatic. Ordered the ghost pizza with extra ghost sauce and Hawaii pizza on one pie. The Mediterranean and the tandoori with garlic added on the other pizza. The pizzas take about 25 minutes to make. There's two rough and tumble makeshift dining seats. Nice plexiglass windows to keep the staff safe. The crusts were nice and chewy, the pizza bottom was a bit thick, I tend to prefer my pizza to have thin crusts and bottoms too, but overall it was not bad. It would also have been nice to have some GF pizza options too. Only indulge in the glutinous pizzas a couple of times a year. The pizzas took about 20 minutes to come out for me to pick them up. I sat and waited by the tables until they were completed, thank goodness for iPhones and mindless games and scrolling through whatever. The Ghost chicken pizza had a nice kick to it, glad I got the extra ghost sauce on it. The Mediterranean chicken doesn't taste half bad either, a bit scant on the chicken pieces. The tandoori chicken has a nice sweet and tangy spice to it. The options here are definitely interesting. I would probably get the ghost chicken above all the other ones I ordered today, that had the best taste and flavors out of all 4. The ham on the Hawaiian looked like deli sliced meat to me, looked a bit off once it was cooked and paper thin too, but there's at least a lot of ham. The only pie light on the chicken bits or bites was the Mediterranean for me, maybe a handful at most. Each pie was $16, about the same as many gourmet pizza spots in the vicinity. Not a bad pizza spot overall. He said it's the one of the better pizzas he's had in a while. My hubby said he liked the Mediterranean and the ghost pepper, he liked the pizza toppings, but didn't love the crust either. read more

It's hard to get pizza wrong, but it's even harder to innovate the classic food group. At Amar, the Bangladeshi flavors allow you to experience new combinations of pizza. We had a split pizza Naga and Tandoori. Both had beautiful and colorful presentations. The Naga was good with a hint of spice and the Tandoori chicken was tender and flavorful. I honestly enjoyed eating theme concurrently as they hit separate taste buds. Amar is a low-key place with a couple of tables and unassuming storefront. There are a variety of options for pizza, biriyani, and other foods, so surely you can find something savory to enjoy! read more

Went to amar's pizza after sometime and really wanted to enjoy my pizza but it turned into a disappointment. I ordered chicken tikka and nagga pizza half and half and both tasted pretty weird. Very currish taste. I would have left it alone but amar pizza is not a regular priced pizza so the expectations are high as well. I will change my review as soon as I try again and if the quality changes but for now 2 stars. read more

This is a great example of you get what you pay for. Al I can do is laugh at the end result. Positives first. I had a garden salad with chicken that was perfection. All the veggies were crisp and fresh. The taste was great and the chicken had a nice flavor as well. I wasn't presented a choice of dressing but ranch works fine for me, Now to the comedy... the pizza is SUPPOSED to be a thin crust seafood pizza with extra sauce. This cardboard disc that was delivered is laughable. First of all it's cold. You can tell that from the look of the pizza. Second, where is the crab? This is the saddest looking pizza I've ever seen. They then doused it in some spicy Cajun type stuff (it covers the entire thing) If THIS is your idea of seafood pizza, you need to revisit a true pizzeria. Pizza Papalis does not need to be worried at ALL, this is a laughingstock compared to theirs. The only reason there are ANY stars is because the salad was on point! We will never cut corners again... smh read more

I made the drive from downtown to checkout Amar's Tandoori Pizza and man was it worth the drive. Driving back it smelled so good that I had to grab a slice while driving because I just couldn't wait to eat when I got back to my apartment. I had gotten the square pizza thinking it would be similar to a Detroit Style but it has its own spin on it. It isn't a thick crispy crust as much as it almost feels like a Naan Bread which is great. It felt as thought I was having Naan and Butter chicken all together in one slice. Highly recommend! read more

Best pizza in Hamtramck and very underrated. If you want unique Indian infused pizza or a good philly steak pizza this is the place. Owners and employees are very nice and care about pleasing customers. Good for a late night bite. I was really thirsty and wanted a can of diet dew and only had card. The guy behind the counter said just take it for free, charging it with card would have been more trouble haha. They have a good sense of humor here read more

There are so many different items I want to try, I'll for sure be back. read more

Came here a few months ago looking for good pizza. We really liked how they fudged the idea of pizza and made it their own with authentic ethnic flavors. We like how we could split the pizza into two flavors and went with the recommended Naga and tandoori and the tin pizza with the fish. My ranking of the pizza was tandoori, Naga, fish. Boyfriends ranking fish, Naga, tandoori. The tandoori was sweet and thats me a sweets person. My boyfriend loved the flavor of the fish because you don't ever see fish pizza anywhere and it was savory. Both agreed that Naga was the middle ranked and is one of the more well known flavors. It is a little more expensive since it is local but with it! Leftovers were also delicious read more

There is a funny reason why we went to Amar Pizza. A friend from St. Louis MO texted asking if we had ever been there? Why we asked? She said it was in The NY Times Best Pizza places in the US. Well it is an hour from our house, so we literally have to pass probably 1000 pizza places to get there. So we went. The place is your basic takeout pizza. It is not a restaurant, it is a takeout place with 2 tables (in case you are not prepared). We found the staff very friendly and the place was clean. The great thing is they have pizza flavors you will not find anywhere else. The bad thing is there are too many interesting flavors to try! We had a large pizza, have with the Dried Fish and the other half Tandoori. While I didn't love the dried fish flavor, i did love its unique flavor and the crisp of the fish flakes. The tandoori side, I loved the flavor and the texture. Next time maybe the Ghost Pizza and/or the Naga Pepper Pizza! read more

Defintely dint live up to my expectations or probably my expectations were high. Been here on Sunday around 4pm after trying out Detroit Style Square pizza. Pretty much excited to try the Naga Sauce Pizza after seeing a documentary about detroit pizza spots and yelp review but honestly dint really find it great but liked the thin crust. Ordered small Naga Chicken pizza and Naga Chicken biryani which costed $20. Should not call it biryani actually as it is more of a mixed rice which lacked flavor or aroma. Pros: --------- Decent Pizza Lot of pizza options Good Pricing Cons: ------- Only 2 tables in case if you are planning to Dine In Try the Pizza but not biryani. read more

Ok why hasn't anyone thought of this before!!! Combining pizza and Bangladeshi/Indian style food... = EPIC. PIZZA WAS AMAZING!!! So I ordered the touted ghost pepper pizza, was told it would take a while because it's made fresh. So worth the wait!!! Now that's the show stopper but...The Bangladeshi pizza is what you want to try because it is amazing! So much flavor!!! I have heard so many things about the naga biryaani so I certainly can't wait to opt in for that next time! Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Im impressed! read more

Great pizza spot with Desi and Mediterranean sauce flavors. I tried a half n half naga sauce and dry fish Detroit square pizza. The pizza crust was perfect crunchy and the squares were of good size. The dry fish pizza had an amazing garlicky and spicy test definitely found the fishy taste and few dry shrimp were also there, reminded of eating a fried fish curry back home. The chicken naga sauce pizza was pretty good as well and could feel a combo of tomato and yogurt flavor as in chicken butter masala. Another great thing is having cilantro topping, amazing taste!! I'm excited to try ghost sauce and Mediterranean pizza next time I visit the place. read more

This is decent pizza, but compared to Buddys, the toppings dont pop, it feels greasier, and the bread is much softer with barely any crunch on the edge. The ghost pepper sauce is hot but not as hot as I would expect. Same for the naga sauce. I do like that you can get any sauce on the side. The garlic sauce was a nice addition to what I was eating. Overall, I wasnt impressed, although good for them being able to offer pizza toppings and ingredients uncommon in the midwest. read more

I'm Bengali and I heard of this place so I was excited to try. We got the naga and chicken tikka (I wanted to try the dry fish but my two friends were not Bengali so I thought it might be too much). I really enjoyed the flavors of both pizza, they're very unique! My other friends liked it too, it was fresh. However I think there should be more cheese to make a better cheese to bread ratio and the chicken was a little dry so more sauce would have helped. read more
