Amici's is an absolute gem that serves up the delicious and authentic Italian American cuisine. I love their large plain pie because it tastes exactly like the slices back East. The prices are so reasonable, especially considering the fantastic quality of the food and the exceptional service you get every single time. Even when it's super busy because everyone is dying to eat here, the energy is still so gorgeous. I usually order takeout, but whenever I've sat down inside, the service has been literally phenomenal. Their chicken parmigiana is also incredibly delicious. If you haven't treated yourself to Amici's yet, what are you even waiting for?! read more

Still coming here 3-4 times a year for take-out as it's the closest Italian place to my house. Food still average - nothing great. Best dishes in my opinion are the caprese salad, eggplant parm sub, and the white pizza. They get 4 stars. Everything else my family and I try is so-so. Service is really good. They quickly pick up the phone and take your order when you call for takeout, confirm your order and which of their 2 restaurant locations to pick up at before your hang up, and they get it right and on time when you pick it up. Would give 3.5 stars if I could. read more

Love this place! We went for sisters birthday last year and she requested it again this year! Staff were kind, patient and accommodating to our party. Pizza was good! Too greasy for my taste but we also tried this caesar salad pizza heavenly lol I would try to add chicken next time but very tasty. Shirley temples? Keep them coming. Vibe is relaxed NYC style pizza joint. Mozzarella sticks had an awesome cheese pull and the wing were addicting. Calamari was good but more lemon slices please. read more

This place is super yummy! My boyfriend and I both really enjoy our time here. We got pizza, pasta, and also tried one of their cannolis; which was really delicious. The service was good and our food came out super fast. Seems like everything runs really smoothly as well. This particular location is a little small but overall had a good experience here! read more

This is one of my go to spots for a slice of pizza. I usually order the two slice special but today I decided to go with one slice, side garden salad, and fountain drink for $10.50. My salad was huge. They have great lunch specials ranging from $7.50-$12.99. Pizza slices are always hot and cooked perfectly. Not soggy. Customer service is always a 10. Everyone is so nice and always check in with you to see if you need anything. The inside is always clean and the ambiance is NY themed with two TVs. Usually has sports in both. Great spot. Check it out. read more

I like the unique pizzas they offer but it wasn't the best pizza I ever had and it took a while to come out. It seems they prioritize take out orders as we saw probably 20 people come and go picking up pizzas while we waited for ours. The cannoli was also not the best I've ever had but the New York black and white cookie was amazing! The menu says they import them from New York and I am a sweet tooth but I would come back just for that cookie! read more

I met a friend here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and there was plenty of seating, but it got busy very quickly. I got the Shirley Temple, because I saw on social media that it's something to rave about, but honestly didn't taste any different than a regular Shirley Temple. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, and she was so patient with us because my friend and I hadn't seen each other in a long time and we were just yapping the whole time. I ordered a pizza roll with pepperoni and mushrooms, and they definitely didn't skimp on the toppings, it was so good! I also got a side of french fries, which is actually a whole meal because they were towering over in this bowl. The portion sizes were huge for the price, and it is totally worth it. I also got a couple of slices to go, and those did not disappoint either. Can't wait to return and try some more menu items, because everything I tried was incredibly delicious. read more

We recently met a friend here for lunch, and was surprised how busy it was. I know this place was trending online which explained why the crowd was so young. Our service was fast and friendly, and we got our food on time. Everything was just so - there was no stand out flavor or incredible crust. Even the Shirley Temple was fine. So I'm not sure if the craze was just amongst college kids who never had real pizza before but it was nothing mind blowing. But if you're in the area and want a slice - they have pretty decent lunch specials. read more

It did not live up to the hype. The people were friendly enough, but the pizza was not that great. I feel like there was no sauce on my pepperoni pizza. When I saw Portnoys review of the cheese pizza it looked like there was a lot of sauce on his, but not ours. Idk ‍ we love Yo Paulys. read more

Believe TikTok- the half and half Caesar salad pizza and the double pepperoni vodka are the way to go! They don't sell slices after 3 pm, so if you're headed there at night, know you're in for a bigger pizza. I wish I'd realized when the server said 6 or 8 pieces, I thought she meant how the pizza was sliced- but that's a medium vs large. The vodka sauce was incredible; honestly wish I could get another one. read more

Pretty solid pizza, pricing and cool employees. Got a large half/half pizza. Yeah, they do that. Half Il Bianco and half Buffalo chicken. An order of fried raviolis as well. Two diet cokes and a Peroni draft beer. The large is 18 inches and 8 slices. The pizza was very good. Especially, the crust. The crust is some of the best NY style you'll get in the desert. We had em slap some pepperoni on the Il Bianco. The ravs were just ok. They have an extensive menu that all looked good. All of this fun for $52 and some change. Get some. read more

Had to stop by and try this viral spot!! Love the inside and the overall environment is it very home-y and welcoming. A great place to celebrate after a baseball game or even church. The service was good everyone was very friendly. I had to start with the Shirley and wow it was probably the best I've ever had. The food; pizza and wings are the stars here, we wanted to try a lot of different items so we could get a good idea of the menu. The sticks did not have the best cheese pull. Personally not my favorite. The pasta also was extremely simple. Good idea for someone picky. The sauce was fine slightly more elevated than a jar but not by much. We loved the pizza it was the best bite of the day. The prices are great only $4.5 for a slice and it's a good size. Would come back with friends for a casual lunch or dinner, but would stray from the mozzarella and the pasta personally. read more

This was my 2nd time ordering from amici - the first time was the worst experience ever and it was on my birthday. The food was dry and I had hardly any sauce on my wings. I ended up never going back after the owner offered to give me one free pizza and one free wings (I ordered 2 pizza and 2 orders of wings) this time I ordered it for delivery and whilst the pizza was definitely better this time the wings were even worse than before. They were so hard to bite in that I apparently looked like I was in pain- I was. The owner also has the most disgusting fan base ever and totally condones their bullying which is an insane thing for a grown business owner to do. read more

This place is extremely popular- it was PACKED on the Friday night that we can in. It is also very small inside, with no outdoor dining options. We came in with a party of 11 to celebrate a birthday. *Please be warned that there are no reservation or call ahead options. We were given an estimated wait time of 30-45 minutes upon arrival. Once our party was finally called to be seated, the total wait time was 1 hr 10 minutes. There is also not much of a waiting area inside the restaurant, only 3 benches out front. We were disappointed to see several other large parties being seated ahead of us, when we arrived and put our name down first. Once we were finally seated, we ordered right away (we had plenty of time to scan the menu as we waited) and our food came out in a fair amount of time, considering how busy the place was & how big our party was. Our waiter was not the most attentive. I never got asked if I needed a refill on my water, and it would have been very difficult to ask him for a refill, because he was so preoccupied with everything else he was doing. We all enjoyed looking over into the kitchen area & watching the pizza crust be hand prepared. One thing that we did find a bit disturbing was that not everyone preparing food was wearing hair nets. For example, there was a man with a huge beard making dough, he did not have a net on his beard. All in all, the service was not good at all, there were some health concerns with beards not being netted, BUT the food was outstanding. Well worth the wait. The pricing was more than fair considering portion sizes & everything tasted fresh. For future reference, I would not bring a large party here. I would honestly prefer calling ahead and picking up to go. read more

Drove over here from the west valley for date night to try the pizza and we were not disappointed! Our server was super nice and attentive, despite how busy he was with other tables. I go a Shirley temple since it seems like a favorite drink. We started with the French fries - bomb. Super crispy and the seasoning was good. We got a small half vodka half buffalo chicken pizza. The vodka sauce on the pizza was super creamy and yummy. We wanted dessert but were pretty full. Next time! read more

This place is 100% worth the hype. My friend and I went around 3:30pm, which was in between lunch and dinner - PERFECT timing. Last time I tried to come around dinner and the wait was too long so I was so hyped I got to try it this time. We started with Shirley temples which were chefs kiss. They were sweet and crispy, so perfect. We got the garlic knots with mozzarella on top and they were so cheesy and savory. I was in heaven. The marinara sauce that came with for digging was also impeccable. For the star of the show, we got half the meat lovers pizza and half the il Bianco pizza which was the perfect combo in my opinion. We got the extra ricotta on top of the il bianco which made it ever better. The pizza was cheesy, savory goodness. I was obsessed with the crust and the seasoning on it. I love a thin crust that's perfectly crispy and airy. The pepperoni on the meat lovers was to die for. SO GOOD. It wasn't packed like I said and was super homey and comforting. They had tv on if you wanted to go and watch sports. It's also a small, casual venue so I recommend for smaller groups. If you haven't tried it yet, definitely do! read more

The team is friendly and they have a good lunch special - 2 slices with a drink for about $7. Tried twice before reviewing, hoping the first time was a fluke.

My fam and I always enjoy testing out cheese. Scratch that, I meant to write pizza, haha. Anyway, this was our second taste here, and it didn't disappoint! I didn't give 5 stars due to the service. Although it was good, it felt kinda forced, and our server didn't really smile or make us feel welcomed. But the food made up for it! The pizza was sooooo hot and spiced with care, you could tell. The only small complaint was, my son said it was a TAD bit undercooked in the very middle, and too greasy to his liking. But as for ME, that grease is what puts hair on your chest, so I really don't know what that wimp is talking bout! Another reason why I didn't give 5 stars is for the cannoli. 5 bucks for a small, HARD pastry with whipped cream, and what looks like Hershey syrup. It was ok, but I wouldn't order it again, not worth the money, in my opinion. Other canolli's I've had, have been soft, with like, a Boston cream pie filling, but to each their own! What matters is, we will SURELY be back for some more of that hot, ooey gooey greasy goodness! read more

I absolutely had to see what the hype was about since Portnoy visited Amici's so we ordered a medium pizza-half Margherita and half cheese, to go. I reheated it in an oven at home instead of eating in the car, but alas, all the Margherita ingredients slid off, which was my bad, but taste and flavors were still decent. I was expecting more, but the pizza was pretty standard to me, satiated my appetite, but felt like the hype was hyping more than the slice. read more

Great pizza and pasta for those looking for a classic New York style slice. Being family-owned for many decades, it is one of the best spots not only in Mesa, but the greater Phoenix area. I highly recommend getting a salad to start, however any fried appetizer is also good too. While there are often wait times, I suggest going during the week. read more

Came here on two separate occasions Separate dates first time going and trying it out we were seated fairly quick within 15 minutes. On that first occasion, I tried out the pepperoni pizza with jalapeños 8.7/10 and the Mac and cheese bites 4/10 and fried zucchini 9/10 Shirley Temple was just a Shirley Temple Second occasion, I waited about two hours .. And it was really not worth the wait had a cheese pizza 6/10 and also a Parmesan chicken sub 5/10 not sure why the food was just not hitting ? Would I give this place a third try probably not. Overall experience I feel like I would rate this a 3.5 just because of both times I did go. I felt like it just wasn't consistent. read more

Obviously found my way here due to TikTok. Staff: A bunch of chillers living a normal life. Our server was great. The owner as we've all seen online is just as cute and sweet in person. Pizza: The caesar was everything you dreamed about and more 10/10. Grandma surprised me. Looked to be possibly mid, don't let that fool you. Some of the best red sauce I've had on a pizza 9.3/10. Buffalo was also great. Could've used a little more Buffalo sauce or spice, which we did 8.8/10. When it came to the BBQ chicken it was okay. Personally think some cilantro could really elevate it 7.3/10. Pasta: The vodka pasta was great. Didn't make my taste buds tingle only because it tastes very similar to the one I make at home. However, I wasn't disappointed it was solid. My only con was it was a bit chilly when it came out 8/10. We're all here for the pizza though don't forget it. Dessert: Our waiter recommended the cannoli cake when asked. I'm a server myself and noticed it was the highest priced dessert (wasn't even that much $$), so I thought maybe it was just an upsell. Although I was very wrong. I love a sweet treat and I'm pretty picky about them. This cake was a TEN. Dare to say the best dessert I've ever had out and about. Overall: This place is great! Highly recommend! Not to mention a bang for your buck. Get that flippin cannoli cake no matter how full you are. read more

TikTok made us do it! We were in town for a work event in Scottsdale, and the recommendation for delicious pizza with a crisp Shirley Temple is at Amici. If you're indecisive like me when it comes to pizza toppings, Amici has the perfect solution: their quartered 18" pizza is a dream come true. I went all in with barbecue chicken, buffalo chicken, Caesar salad, and vodka sauce--and every slice was a standout. The barbecue chicken had that smoky-sweet balance, the buffalo chicken brought the heat without overpowering, the Caesar salad pizza was surprisingly fresh and crisp (yes, salad on pizza works!), and the vodka slice was rich, creamy, and totally addictive. The crust was classic New York-style--thin, foldable, and just the right amount of chew. Service was quick, the vibe was casual, and the pizza? Worth every bite. Amici knows how to keep things interesting. I'll definitely be back to mix and match more combos! read more

Decent pizza and irs nice they have gluten free options. However when you order online there is no clear instructions on how to get a gf pizza. I had to call and ask to be told to just write it as a note. I really wish this would just be advertised online. The pasta was just okay nothing worth the price. Shirley Temple was good but I don't see how it's different than anywhere else. My husband did love the cannoli cale. read more

I discovered this place from the one bite app. I didn't bother watching the video review by Dave Portnoy prior to going nor did I know that any tiktok videos. There was an hour wait. For a little pizza place in a plaza I was surprised. Waitress was awesome. The place has NY stuff everywhere. Most the staff had Yankees hats on. They were out of a few things we wanted to order. Keep in mind this was about 7pm on a Sunday. We started with Arancini. We got Italian Beef & Giardiniera, Spinach & Ricotta and Mac & Cheese. It was ok but I wouldn't get it again. Main course we got a large cheese pizza, lasagna and vodka penne with meatballs. The pizza was good but I was expecting more. Biggest gripe was the huge bubbles. I have never in my life had so many in a pizza. I worked at a few pizza joints in my day. Bubbles = bad. Were I am from this pizza would have never been served. The table next to ours gave me a slice of their pizza that had salad on it. Not my thing but I like the thinking outside the box. They were 86 prawns so we got meatballs instead. Meatballs were not good. How they make a red sauce as good as they yet the meatballs lack as much as they do is beyond me. Penne vodka was alright. Not a reorder. Lasagna was amazing. Hot all the way though and the sauce was perfect. Gooey melted cheese everywhere. Unfortunately it was very small. If it was twice the size I'd probably have to order it every week. In the end we were disappointed especially with the praise Dave gave this place. We may be back in the future. Get the lasagna. read more

Came here to crush and mission accomplished! I loved this place and our server was attentive and helpful of what to suggest for first timers. We started with fried ravioli and arancini, both were great but I'd want another bucket of arancini to go. We tried the Bolognese, mac & cheese and spinach and ricotta. I couldn't have a favorite with these. The calzone was a must try and the pizza was spectacular. I loved the Caesar salad pizza and the baciagaloop.

Finally tried the viral pizza place. It was fine/ good but not necessarily spectacular- greasy pizza, crispy wings and motz sticks are always good. As stated pizza was greasy. Their ceaser salad pizza is a great and unique idea that was probably our favorite of the meal. The pepperoni was really really greasy. pizza was super fresh and you can see them spinning the dough from the bar. Wings were super crispy. The garlic parm wings had a lot of parm which kind of lost the garlic Shirley temple was good as well. Def a nice neighborhood pizza joint. read more

I'm always down for trying a new pizza place. We were aware that Amici has a lot of TikTok fame so coming on a Friday probably wasn't wise. The hostess advised us the wait would be about 20 minutes, then our super nice server warned us that pizzas might be a bit slow coming out. (They were! Amici has tons of people ordering take out.) Another worker came by during dinner to check on us and thanked us for our patience. Those little touches go a long way to show they care about the customers. So- the food. Amici has somehow made Shirley Temples famous. Everyone around us was ordering them so we caved in too. They're really just the overly sweet drinks that have been around for decades- lol- but they give you a nice big glass. We ordered the garlic knots with mozzarella. I thought they were decent but I'd hold the cheese next time. Another patron waiting with us recommended the Grandma Pizza (square pizza, mozzarella, fresh garlic, basil, marinara sauce) and I'm so glad we listened. I can't describe it properly. My husband and I took a bite, locked eyes and went "Mmm, yeah, oh- that's really good!" It's just that thing when the crust, cheese and seasonings are all working together just right and making you happy you came. We ordered a piece of the New York Crumb Cake to go also (imported from Queens). It was a solid dessert but nothing I'd order again. The spouse and I agreed that we'd make a trip back here, just maybe on a weekday. read more

I want to preface that I'm not a huge Pizza person. But if I have a good pizza I am typically impressed. What impressed me about this place is you can order one pizza and make it three different flavors. Which really helped, since we wanted to try multiple things but we all had different taste buds. We started off with the fried zucchini and mushroom appetizer as well as the garlic knots and the fried ravioli. The fried ravioli was probably our least favorite, the garlic knots were good and fluffy, and the zucchini and mushrooms were average. Our first thin crust pizza was pretty darn good. But it was so thin where we could not hold up the pizza and the moisture made most of it soggy, and I hate the feeling and taste of soggy Pizza. Good flavor though, oh and the dough! Our second pizza was the thick one. I loved how fluffy and great their dough tasted, but felt like they definitely skimped on the toppings and the cheese for the price. Bechamel lasagna was okay. I did appreciate their long peeled carrots in my salad though and the raspberry dressing was really good. Alot of the staff kept expoing to the wrong table (ours) which I thought was kind of funny because they don't have many tables in there. All in all, it was good pizza and a cute place, and apparently a great neighborhood joint. But I wouldn't drive 25 min here again. read more
