I love Amato Pizza because they're local, family owned, and they pack on the toppings. My husband and I recently got take out for an Amato Pizza in XL size. We just dug in as soon as we got home. The ingredients are fresh. I was surprised I didn't even find one wilted piece of basil on our pizza. We ate about 1/3 of the pizza before I realized I forgot to take a photo! I also have a photo of the aloha bbq chicken pizza in XL size from a few years ago. It looks like their topping game is strong and so is the freshness of their pizza. They share a parking lot with Lucky's and several other shops/restaurants. Parking is plentiful and easy. read more

Such a yummy pizza. I've gone back several times for their Persian Pizza. Highly recommend this place

Nice service. Good pizza. They do half & half on large pizza; perfect for family. Open and close timings are as advertised.

Absolutely love this spot!!! Every pizza I've tried has been so good, make sure to try the tehrooni--transported me back to my childhood eating pizza in Iran read more

My first time here last Sunday and I'm so glad they're on DoorDash! I had their pineapple, cheese, pepperoni & sausage pizzas! They were all delicious! The staff were very friendly and attentive! read more

Amato? More like VOMato. The giant flatscreen menus are useless since they don't list any prices. Instead, we shared one menu that was laying around (no others in sight). $30 for medium pizza? Maybe that's why they weren't posting prices. We got garlic bread, fries, a soda (convenient self-service) and a calzone. They over charged me 51 cents. When I pointed it out, the man seemed bothered and gave me the coins without saying a word. The garlic bread was simple but good, cheesy and buttery. However, the fries (served with ketchup packets on top) were so bad we left a quarter of them behind. They tasted like unsalted, day old microwaved fries with burnt tips. I looked around to see if Ashton Kutcher revived Punk'd and was videotaping us. The $16 calzone sprinkled with unmelted cheese was a joke. It was small and was 70% hard bread, with probably five pepperoni, four olives, three mushrooms, two turtle doves... Not much cheese and about a spoonful of sauce. I asked for some sauce and was handed a plastic cup of ice cold marinara. The brightly lit single room felt like a burger joint and it felt as Italian as Jackie Chan. If you look at my 2200+ reviews, you will see it's very rare for me to give a restaurant less than three stars...but this restaurant(?) was very disappointing. read more

Really good pizza. Family owned. Service is good. I recommend this pizza place over most other pizza places in the area.

Love this place! If you're Iranian, I 100% recommend Amato Pizza. Just go there, order a large Tehrooni pizza, close your eyes, take in the smell of the avishan, and you'll teleport straight to one of your sweetest memories in Tehran. I've also tried their other pizzas and the veggie calzone, they're just as good. Absolutely recommended! read more

Love some Amato pizza! Excellent food, friendly service. You can tell it is a very community oriented business

Great pizza and very friendly staff. Good service and a welcoming vibe definitely coming back!

First, their pizza is tasty and fresh and overall just has a good flavor! Second, they have vegan cheese! They accommodated my group of about 40. They let us pre order so food would be ready when we arrived. The location is clean, and it's easy to get to. Just overall a very positive experience! read more

Haven't got the pizza yet, ordering was a painful process. First time I called, I got hung up on.... called again and the person could not hear me because it was very loud in the background. Then I was asked to "hold-on" To top it off - her English was terrible. I've ordered from this restaurant ever since they have been in business. They say "support local" - it becomes difficult when you can't place an order without repeating yourself 3 or 4 times. Extremely frustrating. Crossing my fingers I get what I ordered, because I have no idea that what I said was translated well. We don't have many restaurants here in Almaden, but there's a reason... as a consumer one has choices.... Not sure Amato will be on the list for next time. read more

Second visit to this pizza joint.. maybe I wasn't convinced it was a rip off but it is..$31.67 for a small pie including tax !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

OMG, this is what the world needs. I work construction, two weeks ago I ordered a pizza at amato's in Almaden area. I ordered to go and went to visit a job site nearby. The homeowner had lots of questions and I had another appointment. Long story short. I never went back for the pizza I paid for. Today in the way to the same customer, the owner remembered and insisted that I did not pay for my pizza. Highly recommend this place. Local family owned amazing pizza and over all good people. A must if you want some amazing pizza and to support good hearted people!!!! read more

Tried calling Amato's Pizza three times to place an order. Each time, a lady picked up the phone and immediately put me on hold--no greeting, no update, nothing. I waited over 15 minutes each time and no one ever came back to take my order. Totally unprofessional and frustrating. If you can't handle phone orders, don't offer them. Definitely not ordering from here again. read more

Great pizza! Really fresh ingredients. A wide variety of pizza's. Really friendly service. Family owned business. Turkey pesto sandwiches are great too! read more

Went there to try their deep dish despite the fact that I knew it was going to be overpriced. The food quality was good but their idea of deep dish leaves me wanting. Closer to a thick crust than deep dish. They made a mistake on the order so it took longer than expected but they did give us the mistake pizza as a consolation prize. That was cool. I'd go there again but when I looked at the receipt, it was well over $100 for 2 larges delivered. I think I will keep looking. read more

Best pizza in San Jose! They even have gluten free crust! My favorites are the Amato, Amato Supreme, Hawaiian style, meat lovers. All of their sauces are fabulous. They even have a Deep dish style.

Lots of TV's to watch your favorite team. , read more

I give this place an A+. The pizza is great and made with high quality ingredients. A bit pricey but we'll worth it.

I would definitely recommend this place. The Pizza is excellent! It reminds me of the Front Room Restaurant on Clement Street in San Francisco during the 1980's. The Combination Pie is loaded without being overwhelming. read more

We really love 'Tehrooni Pizza' because it tastes like a real Iranian pizza. This is our second time ordering 'Tehrooni Pizza' from Amato. The first time, it was a bit fatty/oily, but the taste was good. Unfortunately, this time it was overcooked. The crust was a bit hard to bite, and as you can see in the picture, the top of the pizza was completely dark brown with burnt mushrooms and ham. read more

Amato Pizza - Amato's Supreme Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This is our go-to place with our friends when we are in the neighborhood. The dining room is spacious with plenty of tables and benches that aren't too close together, the kids are distracted by the mini arcade, and we parents get to finally catch up. The pizzas are pretty good, too, and fast to come out. The staff is thoughtful--coming by every once in awhile to ask if we need anything, and generous. When they forgot to include an additional topping when I ordered, they added the topping anyway without a quibble. read more

Amato is our favorite go-to since we moved to the area. The pizza (the Tehrooni is ridiculously good), calzone, salads, and sandwiches are all fantastic! And they support our community through school and team fundraisers. It's been our Friday night favorite for the past few years...and the kids still clamor for it every time. read more

Small family owned pizza place with everything you'd expect from it. They have interesting menu options. I got a small tehrooni pizza. The prices are not posted on the wall, and a small pizza costed me 30$ which for what should be a personal sized one is too much. I also asked for no mortadella on it but when i got it it was covered in it. I was already at home when i opened it so it is partially my fault for not checking. read more
