Came to pick up and there was a line out the door! Very busy for a weeknight which is great to see. Ordered two pies, a nonna and a small mushroom. The nonna was a little broken in the middle, so they gave me two extra slices on the side to make up for it. Can't complain about that and appreciated the gesture. I almost left without my mushroom bc a mixup on the receipt, but all good because obviously it was very busy. Very friendly owner/front end staff The nonna pie and small mushroom were both great. Perfect amount of crisp and tangy sauce. Definitely will come back again and would like to dine in bc the ambiance inside was quaint and lively. Their pasta look delicious so I will be back! read more

Amici's Restaurant - Nonna's pizza with extra slices because the middle was a bit soggy but it was delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Maywood, New Jersey

Let's start with what was great. the staff was super nice, and the environment of the establishment was very clean and relaxing. This place probably has the nicest waiters and waitresses that i've ever had the pleasure of talking to. With that being said, unfortunately not everything was phenomenal. With such a nice place, I was slightly weirded out by the fact that the ice came in a sand bucket and a shovel. It just did not fit the vibe of the place. I ordered the gnocchi, which comes in a pesto sauce with cherry tomatoes and shrimp, and was extremely surprised when an orange pasta arrived in front of me. It was still gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and shrimp, and there was still some pesto in the sauce, but it was more like a vodka sauce with some pesto in it. Was still good, but just surprising and a little confusing when i was expecting a green pesto. Other than that, the sicilian pie and the arancini were pretty good. I would recommend coming here, but definitely don't do it with too many expectations! read more

First time visiting and we absolutely were impressed with the ambiance and vibes of the restaurant. Didn't have to wait too long and was seated promptly. The bread provided tasted so amazing especially with the rosemary. We ordered pastas and it came with a side salad. After we got the cannoli cake. Not only was the food delicious but we also loved the service. Everyone kept checking in to make sure we were good. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone to stop by for a good bite to eat and enjoy themselves at this great restaurant! read more

Always a great meal and good pricing. Owner Rosario is one of a kind and a super nice guy. Rec the Francese

Since Amici's opened, this is my go to spot for good pizza and Italian food. My girls love it, close to home, great prices, service is great. Pizza is very good.. they have the classic style pizza, also the thin crust. Their food menu is out standing! . Highly recommended Amici's. Everyone there is super pleasant. Especially the owner, he is always there. read more

I found this spot for lunch and ordered a few things. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and the staff was busy. I ordered the the shrimp oreganata for myself. I got a worker to take my payment and left. When I ate the food was decent. Nothing was special about it. I had a decent experience. read more

My wife and I decided to try this place based on reviews and a line consistently out the door every time we drive by. Went on Friday and the place was packed but the wait was only 30 minutes. The place has a great vibe which starts with the owner who is out front making sure everyone's food is perfect. Rosario (the owner) is an extremely nice man who takes pride in his food, restaurant, and service staff. The old school music had people literally dancing in their seats! The food was amazing. Started with a thin pizza for an appetizer which was crispy and had great flavor. The Chicken Francese was lemony and perfectly paired with vegetables. My Garlic Chicken with potato's and spinach was amazing. The garlic was cooked perfectly but not over powering. Neither of us had room for desert. We will absolutely be back!!! read more

Love this restaurant, food is so good. Shrimp beeps really delicious , long hots & potatoes loaded with garlic yum! Our waiter was very attentive & sweet. Brick oven pizza nice crusty dough .. It's BYOB also and one of our favorite places to eat! read more

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the Maywood/Hackensack area. I say this because it is consistently great. The pizza gives you an equal compliment of sauce and cheese, not drowning the pie in cheeses. The calamari is light and never overcooked. The grilled octopus is incredible without the fishy taste drowned in mini tomatoes and baby arugula. Every dish is a fresh and wonderful experience of genuine Italian cuisine. Prices are the best of most restaurants in the Bergen County area. There is seating in either the dining area or more relaxed kitchen atmosphere with an incredible staff of wait people. It is relatively common for the owner to visit the table and greet you to show his gratitude. read more

Every single item on the menu and dessert menu is so flipping good, I could almost cry tears of joy when I eat there. The staff is super prompt and full of good workers. The entire restaurant always looks beautiful and is so clean all the time. Bring your own beer wine etc. read more

We've been there two other times before dropping by for lunch today. The food is good and reasonably priced. Today I had the eggplant parmigiana which was excellent. My wife had the braciola which was also very good. Each entree had its own separate gravy to suit the dish. It wasn't one size fits all. A nice salad came with it. The service was very attentive. The only things which would make it better would be to have soft drinks from a fountain rather than a vending machine soda bottle. The music was blasting and rather unpleasant if you were over 30 and had a reasonable IQ, but they turned it down for us. read more

Amici's is a hidden gem! Located in the center of Maywood, really easy to walk to if you live locally! Weekends get busy, and unfortunately they don't take reservations but I promise they are worth the wait! We've been a few times and they have been consistent, delicious and the staff is wonderful! BYOB which is a wonderful plus and outdoor dining during the warmer months! From the pasta dishes to the pizza to the salads, there's something for everyone! Stop in and enjoy! read more

Great family business. The pizza is the best around. Because it is a family business, and the owners actually work there, they care. read more

Repeat after me: "I will not come here at night without making a reservation" Today was the first time I came for dinner and it was a horrible experience. They put us at a two person table after making us wait for forty minutes. The wood fired pizza is relatively expensive from 17-22 dollars but is better than oven pizza. It is also a bit soggy and ours came burned (see photo). Since you can taste the burned dough, it is a bit questionable. The calamari is great value for $11 you get a really huge portion. If you come here, I recommend just getting a wrap or one big pizza for LUNCH not DINNER. read more

This place is awesome quality pizza for a even better price. This isn't gonna be your cheap ingredients type pizza but they provide a cost for the high level ingredients that really do make you wonder how they are profitable. Owner is really nice and from the same part of Italy that I am. Also he's a very friendly guy. read more

My daughter Brandy and I dined at Amici's on Thursday, February 17th after passing this restaurant several times. It was always very crowded when we drove passed. Very friendly staff greet you. Our server was Kennedy who was such a wonderful and informative person with a great personality. She was also very patient while we made up our minds. As you can see by the picture with Big Domenick (one of the owners) who made my pizza in the wood burning oven that was shipped all the way from Italy - told to me by Rosario (one of the owners), oh my my my! You can taste the quality ingredients in the pizza so savory, fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, San Marzano tomato sauce and the crust, thin, light and airy, oh so good, goody good good! Can we talk about the chicken saltimbocca with linguine? Saltimbocca means "jump in the mouth" with flavor. Well it certainly lives up to its meaning. The chicken breast was well seasoned and layered with spinach and a thin slice of prosciutto, topped with fresh mozzarella, garnish with fried sage leaves. Not sure but the sauce that was tossed on the linguine tasted a bit like a marsala sauce, yum! Brandy ordered the chicken parmigiana but loved my dish. The very next day, we back to Amici's and she order the chicken saltimbocca for takeout. While we were eating shifts change and we met Ndeye who replaced Kennedy. Ndeye was observant, attentive and friendly. Even though Amici's gets busy, it maintains a very warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere while serving good food. I have my eye on another item on their menu for the next time I visit and maybe I'll have room for dessert. In the meantime, you should just go and say hello to Rosario for me. read more

Order was correct and delivered on time. Pizza and rice balls were delicious. Would order from here again and recommend this restaurant

Feel like if you're reading this you're missing out. Don't ask just go & eat. Nice owner delicious food in a beautiful place. You are welcome read more

Amicis, Worst Meal Ever Made wrong, brought back. We ordered over the phone and she repeated the order back. Sausage, Onion, Pepper PARMESAN. THE other order was some kind of pasta. We ordered Fettuccini Alfredo and it looked discusting. The Manager is a liar. He made duplicate copies of the same receipt and blamed me that his restaurant made the food wrong. The duplicate copies had the same date on the s d he said, you ordered this a month ago without a problem. That isn't true, last time I ordered a sausage hero and not pasta. Still looking for a Descent Italian place, I guess it's going to be making it myself at home !!!!! read more

the eggplant parmigiana 1/2 tray we got was so tough we couldn't eat it. the eggplant was not breaded and the entire tray had to be thrown away. the owner was argumentative and tried to suggest it was our fault. Dont order from the catering menu or you'll be wasting your money. terrible read more

The food is exceptional. Here portions are big great taste. I love coming here and it's so affordable. The staff is very pleasant.

Wonderful food, everything we order is top-notch!! So fresh and delicious! We have been returning often, and it has been wonderful every time. Best place in Maywood so far! read more

Everything is perfect about this place. Food is incredible and you never leave without taking some home as portions are large. Ambiance is like being in Italy so much that my friends home town is a picture on the wall. Rosario and his staff is incredible. read more

Not just a pizzeria!! First time at your restaurant. Out to dinner with friends, we were a large group. Our meals were served at the same time, still hot and delicious!!! BYOB!! The servers were attentive and pleasant. We'll definitely dine here again. read more

Ordered soup, was ok. $18 stuffed shells went strait to garbage. Ricotta stuffing was spoiled and sour. Called back to report and all I got it was "ok". Place seamed ok inside, typical pizza place. read more

Had a very bad experience here, the pizza/food was delivered wet - toooo salty, definitely way overpriced. I called to complain (My first time ordering) and I was treated like subhuman. I do not allow anyone to refer to me as "Hon" in a derogatory,sexist manner. Especially after shelling out $40 for a limp Side salad and skimpily sized undercooked pizza. "Mr. Hon" personally picked up The remnants after complaining about my refund request. No- not a good look, dude...Pass. read more

The pasta portions are huge & tasty, plenty enough for two meals.I will return for the pasta dishes. Pizza is another story. The pizza is also very good, but there is a problem getting it home HOT..The last two weeks my pizza's was NOT so hot when I got then home. I'm only 2 miles away in Paramus on Forest ave, so it is a straight run. The 1st week I called before leaving. when my pizza was ready it was sitting on top the pizza oven along with maybe 15 other pizza's The 2nd week I ordered my pizza when I got there, thinking I'll get it right out of the oven. Well once again it was sitting on the top of the pizza oven,until I was asked what I was waiting for. I will give Amici's a 3rd try for pizza. If it doesn't work out, I'll just have to go back to the places where I can get it HOT. I hope they can work out this problem cause the pizza is really good. My wife who usually just eats 2 slices down 4 last night. read more

Its finally here. The homecoming of the great pizzaiolo Rosario Daniele. The Nonna Pizza is perfect. The crust is thin and crispy. Usually thin crust gets soggy and flops this cracks with every bite. The sauce isn't some sweet sugary or acidic cacophony it tastes like nonna's homemade sauce. Top it all off with some mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmigiano. Everything about this makes me happy. Can't wait until they get the Neopalitan brick oven going. After eating a pie and a half my wife and I decided to get a salad to feel less guilty. The Amalfi salad was perfect to split. Freah arugula, pine nuts, black olives, cherry tomatoes, and thin sliced fennel. A little oil and vinegar to dress it up. Overall the food is amazing, the staff is super friendly, and it won't break the bank. Right now the seating is limited due to COVID limitations but they do takeout and delivery so feel free to call in. Best of luck to the Amicis staff. We'll see you soon. read more

It is hard to write a review when you know the owner, but it's ok because after you go once or twice you will probably know him too. Amici's is an Italian pizzeria that is more than a pizzeria. They serve very good Italian food. We have now I would say become semi regulars. We have had veal, pork, and chicken dishes. Pastas, several different appetizers and of course have tried several different unique pizza's. Everything has been good, the service is excellent, the whole staff is friendly, and works hard. Tables turn over quickly. Nothing has stood out as it is all good, except for one Pizza called La Trentinara which is a white meatless pizza that is excellent, and nothing is bad. It is all good food. It is a byob. No reservations so you will usually have to wait on the weekends, but if you are looking for somewhere new give it a try for take out or sit down . You will not be disappointed. read more

We've been to Amicis several times and have had it delivered, and they are always top notch. We even got to meet the owner once and he was very very nice. I would recommend Amici's over and over again because their food is always fresh and delicious, the service is always good and you can bring your own wine here! The restaurant is on the smaller side and if you want to eat right away especially in a busy night I would recommend reservations. The parking can also be difficult but we've never not found a spot. read more

This is by far the worst restaurant that I have ever been too , I have spent many a dollar & for some reason they can not get ur oder right from a chick parm sandwich to over salted octopus , recently Sunday I ordered a chick parm dinner 26.50 I chose to do pick up as he charges 3 extra for delivery & then with a tip we are talking over 30$ this is a glorified pizzeria , Rosie the owner boy he kills you with charm , kisses & a little to friendly for us woman. Rosie you play the role very well , As my late husband would say he kisses your ass till you complain, well Sunday I did just that I got my Oder delivered no dressing for my lettuce as there is nothing else but lettuce , then my side of pasta came out dry no sauce and barely cooked Al Dante no just hard , no bread & butter as I had none and asked for it , for the price of chicken parm it was so small , so I called I told the young lady the Oder was wrong , she replied with will deliver u a new pasta that was 6:15 by 7 no delivery I called mind you Rosie gets on the phone cursed at me tell me to f... off loose their # .. happy to do do I say he curses again at me & uses other horrible curses, so I pack up all the food go there less then a mile from my home . I walk in the girl says sorry Rosie the older man & owner said no to sending u a new pasta so I reply nicely well I'd like my money back , suddenly he comes storming at me pointing his finger & saying the Ffff word at me and says I'm not giving u anything that I complain about yes I did 5 x they sent the wrong food , u think he would be grateful so he can direct his staff they got all wrong everything so yes I work hard I expect to get what I ordered , still screaming at me as ppl are in the restaurant not full but enough I show him the food he grabs it from my hand starts bashing the bag throws it all in the garbage & again curses at me tells the girl to give me my money & to never come bk .. okay I'm good with that . He turns to me & straight up tells me the reason my husband passed 6 years ago was because of me & im nothing but a washed up bitch mind you he is much older than I .. well I did leave there very upset as my husband should never of came up in this conversation no less in front of so many ppl .. while I'm walking out he is still screaming at me . Well the food is overly salted but yes it was convenient only for pizza , I have been in the business all my life to treat someone like that is like asking for no repeat customers , mind you the sweet little old man is not so sweet but very hyper & extremely uneducated to bring a man's suicide up because his lack of knowledge on how the food is coming out is clearly his fault we chk our orders . Yes the little old man has been so pleasant till I complained . On that note the disrespect he showed me was pure evil . I have told my friends and family many who I have sent there to not indulge in his crazy behavior. So if u like it great if u dare complain about it watch out the little old man does not want to hear it . I would never again step foot in there & plan on seeking counsel as we have to much racism & judgement on others my life is personal my husband wanted it personal he was very sick he choose his path who does this man Rosie think he is to slam my name in front of others pure recklessness. On my way out a family was ready to come in as they approached me they said they heard everything he said the young man said I'll go in there and put him in his place I said please don't & they turned walked me to my car & I suggested a great Italian restaurant to them . I take this personally as I pay for my meals like I said if you're looking to pay for a glorified pizzeria top dollar enjoy just ask easy on the salt . Rosie your words your character and the lack of kindness shows that u are just a very unhappy old man with no respect to others .. oh yes I have witnessed him in action . I am beyond disappointed but luckily we still have Mario's a pizza shop that will bend backwards for you & a lot better of human kindness ... read more

Just ordered from Amici's Pizzeria tonight for the first time and we were impressed with the super fast delivery. The woman who answered the phone was friendly and promptly took both our order and the credit card information. Since delivery was free, we were sure to add on a nice tip to support this new, local establishment. We were told to expect our food in about 40 minutes and were pleasantly surprised when the delivery person was at our doorstep in just about 15 minutes. We had the Rice Ball appetizer, an Eggplant Parmesan Hero and a Nonna's Pie featuring San Marzano tomato sauce. The Eggplant Parmesan was generously sized and the Rice Balls included a side of vodka sauce, which made for a tasty combination. We enjoyed our game day pizza dinner and would order from Amici's again. read more

Just came home from a very disappointing experience. We ate inside, only two of us, and they tried to seat us next to the loudest Jersey trash I have come across in a long time. Table of six gavones that the women I believe were maybe auditioning for the housewives of New Jersey. We asked to be seated a few tables away from them but within minutes or heads were splitting from the noise. The acoustics are terrible. We ordered a Caesar salad to share, and an alleged Neapolitan Pizza with half sausage. I guess the waiter didn't realize he should have asked if we wanted something to drink as well. Perhaps it was his first day. The salad was a few crappy leaves of iceberg lettuce with what tasted like store-bought cheap croutons and several shavings of Parmesan cheese. The dressing was on the side, which we did not ask for it that way. Then the pizza came. It was a soggy mess. It was oily and all wet. Never got asked if we wanted red pepper or anything, I had to track down our waiter since he never came back to see how we were, for the red pepper. No salt and pepper on the table, husband had no napkin. We ate two slices and took the rest home. Could not get out of there fast enough. I asked the genius girl there for a box to bring our leftovers home in and she gives me a small metal tin for four slices of pizza. Thank God the only person with a brain there stepped in and gave us a box. Upon leaving and paying for this overpriced garbage we walked past three employees not even a" thank you, have a good night", nothing. Cannot blame the poor service or bad food on it being busy. It was just after 4:00 p.m. on a Sunday. read more
