"Out-of-this-world" doesn't even begin to cover it. Last night, on my actual birthday, I walked out of Amato's carrying two steaming boxes that basically turned my 2025 into a perfect year in one bite. First, the Large Cheese. This is the pizza your childhood dreams of when someone says "pizza." The crust is thin but has that magical leopard-spotted char on the bottom, the kind that makes a satisfying crack when you fold a slice. Sauce is bright, just tangy enough to keep you reaching for another bite, and the cheese... dear lord, the cheese. It's a molten blanket of whole-milk mozzarella that stretches like it's auditioning for a slow-motion commercial, then snaps back with that perfect oily sheen. No grease pool, just pure dairy glory. I ate three slices before I even made it to the car. Zero regrets. Then I opened the Sicilian and actually said "holy sh*t" out loud in my kitchen. This thing is a glorious brick of happiness. The corners, those fabled corner slices, are basically fried cheese cubes hugging a pillowy, olive-oil-soaked interior. The bottom is crisp like focaccia that went to war and won, and the sauce on top has that slow-cooked sweetness with little specks of herb that make you feel fancy even when you're eating it straight out of the box with your hands like an animal. The cheese caramelizes right at the edges, turning mahogany and nutty. I'm 99% sure this pizza added years to my life. I've had pizza in New York, New Haven, Naples, and Detroit. This random Tuesday-night birthday pickup just kicked every single one of them down the stairs and took their lunch money. If you're within 50 miles of this place and you don't go get these two pies, I'm sorry, but we can't be friends anymore. 11/10. Would sell my remaining birthday cake for another one right now. Go. Right now. Thank me later. read more

Mushrooms on the 16-inch large regular pizza were from a jar, rather than fresh. Yuck! Pizza had a vinegary taste.

Best pizza near Bethany Beach. We had both the Neapolitan and the Sicilian style pies. The cannoli were hand-piped. read more

Yesterday evening ,August 28 , I picked up two pizzas from Amato's. I never thought I'd have to lift them up and look underneath. They both had burnt crusts underneath. One was totally black. My husband had even given a tip. My family was leaving to travel back home. It was 7:40 pm . So they had to eat it. My little grandchildren had to eat burnt pizza...I paid $44.00 for burnt pizza! I called and the girl said to take a picture and send it by email. What??? Shame on you , Amato's. You gave me, a customer, burnt pizzas. It was my first time going there. I felt terrible that my little grandchildren had to eat that. Amato's is Sicilian and so am I. A Sicilian cares about what her family eats! Apparently you , Amato's , are not true to your heritage. read more

I decided on the Amerigo pizza this evening. Very good pizza but just a tad too much sauce on the margherita side of the pizza. No flop on the crust and overall a solid 4. I will definitely try other variations on my next visit. read more

Lived in Bethany a long time, this is an excellent pizza joint! Reminds me of NYC pies. Yum!!!

The only pizza in the area with a vegan option which I am super grateful for. They do have a tendency to get very busy so make sure you place your order in advance! The workers are so friendly and kind. They let us know they were grateful for our business and always had a smile on their faces. As far as the actual food, it was fantastic. It's hard to admit it but I did eat 5 slices...not my finest moment but it does tell you just how good this pizza truly is. read more

Their pizza is one of the best in Bethany, freshly made, true crispy crust, highly recommend and workers are friendly !

Would not recommend at all. Ordered 12 inch Sicilian pizza and Stromboli. The Stromboli was entirely charred black on the outside and the inside was too salty. The Sicilian pizza used sauce that tastes like it came out of a can. The crust was ok but also burned. read more

New to the area and was lucky enough to find Amato's Pizza. Spoke to Madelyn by phone the day before I needed to order and she patiently explained to me everything that I needed to know about Amato's Pizza. Next day I ordered two pies to go and picked up at a time given to me. The pizza was very good, lots of flavor, well done crust so no flopping pizza and no grease running out of the pizza. I will return and I will tell others about Amato's Pizza. read more

Delicious ! We got the a regular pizza, Sicilian, and a calzone. Very happy. Will be back! read more

Excellent pizza if you don't mind ordering ahead. They can also make gluten free pizza which is great for my wife.

Amato's Pizza is the best in the Bethany Area. They have fantastic Sicilian pizza That is a must try. They are very busy so best to order online in advance. read more

Amato's is amazing! This pizza place is top notch. The crust is perfect, flavors are divine. The staff is friendly and helpful. We have ordered multiple times and never disappointed, their cannolis are incredible. Pepperoni, bacon, and cheese was fantastic. read more

Not very much mozzarella cheese the mushrooms on the pizza seemed like they were right out of a sliced can from the grocery store and then it was undercooked read more

You will NEVER do better than Amatos. The quality of the Grande Mozzarella is unparalleled.

Amato's makes the best pizza in LSD! Great pies! If you are in the Bethany Beach/Millville area give them a try!

If you want cheese on your pizza avoid this place. It's ridiculous... owner said he uses more than he should but apparently that is not very much. $19.00 for crust and sauce. I don't Care if he is Italian or speaks Italian ...di piu formaggio read more

The pictures of the pizza looked too good to pass up. Being a hop, skip and a jump from where we are staying AND their late hours made this a no-brainer to try. Ordering at 8 pm on a weekday night was only a 20-25 minute wait. I like the pizza. The super thin, chewy crust is the best part. I'd give it 5 stars, but IMO, the sauce is too light. Makes the pizza kinda dry. But I'm sure may people may prefer that. The sausage was the pellet looking stuff, but larger. Still tasted better than the franchise pizza sausage. I was naïvely hoping they'd use raw sausage and the the oil cook in. All in all, I like the place. It's small and run by a couple. I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality and a small business. I'll definitely be back. Just next tim I will request extra sauce. Pepperoni with extra cheese is my crack. That is on my next visit! read more

Great. Pizza 16 inch cheese pizza with pepperoni, onion & green pepper. Cooked just right. Brown crust and toppings not skimpy

First time trying Amato's. We tried the Sicilian style pizza and a spinach calzone and both were great! Also - the tomato sauce was so good I was eating it with a spoon. We will definitely be back. read more

The pizza was really good! We ordered the cheese bread, the Margherita and the meat lovers and all were superb. The dough was incredible and we would definitely come back again if we're in the area! read more

Walked in when I got off of work and they were so friendly and accommodating. I ordered in advance and they had my pizza hot and ready for me when I came to pick it up. The crust was so fresh and delicious. I got a classic pizza with pepperoni and sausage and it was amazing! The hours are awesome for people in the service industry since they are open until midnight. Hope they have a great summer! read more

Awesome NYC style pizza! Now we have two - them and Pomadora in Downtown Bethany. Perfect pizza. Easy to order online via app w/Apple Pay. Quick pick up. My new fav place! read more

True pizza! This place is the real deal. We order takeout from here at least once a month because we CRAVE their pizza specifically. I get the gluten free pizza (which is always hard to find) & my family likes the pepperoni + sausage pizza. We have also tried the white pizza which is outstanding too. We are picky pizza eaters so once we discovered Amato's we kept coming back! The crust is perfectly thin so it gets a nice crust. Giuseppe (the owner) is always so friendly & welcoming too. Definitely try this pizza shop out if you're in the Ocean View, Bethany, Millville area! read more

The hours are horrible, but i get that they work other jobs, but i finally was able to catch them open, damm good pizza, new york, philly style, man its good, its great getting good pizza in a place where people think grottos is good pizza will be back read more

The pizza was not good. The crust was like a frozen pizza from the supermarket. I am used to eating NY pizza and this doesn't come close. read more

The hours are bizarre but the pizza is good. We tried to call to pre-order but no one is there till just before 6 to even take a call. Somehow I think you can order ahead on line but we failed to see how. Decent pie, nothing unique or special but everything was good. Please open for a full dinner service! By 6:30 most dinner plans are nearly on the table. read more

So just as an FYI, everyone must order as soon as they get there on Saturday when they get to the house they rent. The wait for pizza was 2 hours. At first we decided that was too long but after trying to get food elsewhere we called back and ordered. The pizza was worth the wait reminded me of a local pizza spot that we frequent. The pizza was very good and delicious would recommend, just order while your on the road knowing the possible wait times. Check the days they are open as well. read more

Finally had the chance to try the newest pizza joint in the area and it did not disappoint! We tried the regular with pepperoni for our first order. The ingredients are fresh and the pizza had a great taste. The crust was the perfect thickness and it had no flop. A very solid pie all around and in my opinion the best pizza shop in the area. We can't wait to come back and order more. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a pizza near Bethany beach. read more

Mr. Giusseppe -- God bless ya, man. The pictures speak for themselves - and your response speaks volumes about you. It's simple - the pizza was burned to the core. The dough was hard as a rock and you and your wife weren't going to hear any of it. No need to get into psychoanalyzing your customers and projecting their financial abundance or lack thereof. We didn't go to your shop to be psychoanalyzed by a pizza maker. We went to you - to order a Sicilian pizza - no more, no less. I myself am Italian-American -- am 61 years-old and don't need to be schooled on Sicilian pizza. This is the very first and only time I've ever complained about a pizza... anywhere. Oh and about your claim that you were willing to take the pizza back? Really Giuseppe? Really? Shame on you, pal. If that were the case - none of this ridiculousness would have unfolded. It's a friggin' pizza - not a cure for cancer... Some unsolicited advice - it's all about energy, and your proprietorship and customer relations need CPR. Pics: The burnt Sicilian is from Amato's. The authentic Sicilian is one from another, nearby local Pizzeria. Giuseppe - Amato's owner (and pizza maker) - is NOW trying to claim that his burnt pizza was somehow "broiled" or burnt (I suppose by me), for effect - Now we are really getting into the Twilight Zone. For the record - I (the customer), did not burn an Amato's-made Pizza. And Italian satellites didn't burn it either - LOL.. Giuseppe also questions my "motive?" I suppose if you can call writing an honest "yelp user review" on an established and trusted platform that has its own rules and regulations - a "motive" -- that would be it.

Takeout pizza place in Bethany. Doesn't open til 6pm and so popular can't get thru on phone line. Dropped in to order in person and got my pizza quick. My grandkids liked the thin pizza, but I personally didn't care for their cheese. They have a vegan Sicilian option I would like to try next time I am in town. Worth a try read more

Pizza was worth the wait - which was 2 hours for my carry-out. Great NY style za, and I was very happy. Crust is super tasty. I'll be ordering again! read more
