This is one of my favorite pizza places and I look forward to going here when I'm in the area. If you're a fan of NY style pizza then you will definitely be a fan of the pizza here. The crust is nice and thin and crispy with the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. I'm such a huge fan of the cheese pizza that I've never even tried it with toppings because I think it's perfect just the way it is. If you're going to do something simple you have to make sure you do it right and they do it right at Amore. They also have excellent garlic knots with a nice amount of olive oil and garlic on them. It's very close to FGCU college and they offer some great specials and really reasonable prices. The place is also always very clean and the employees here are always very nice. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and I've been there at different times and there has always been a good amount of people here. I highly recommend the pizza at Amore Brick Oven Pizza! read more

Great gem in Gulf Coast center. They do special order pizzas. Meatballs excellent. Service excellent too

One of the best pizzas in town now. Try it. My order: meatball, pepperoni, basil garnish. Meatballs are homemade and the manager's grandma's recipe. The pepperoni is quality. Basil is fresh. Sauce is decent--simple but good. Crust? Sometimes it depends, but when they use semolina, crispy and no flop but soft on the inside. Probably a top 3 pizza ive had in the entire south read more

The food was delicious and the service was great . We had a young man take care of us and he was on top of it .

The name outside still says Amore but this is under new ownership and the food and hours are different. Don't go get the hours posted for this company. The new name is something like mama Mia despite all the outdoor signage staying the same-for now. Several of the people in my group did enjoy their meal, but they now use a creamy sauce instead of a traditional meat sauce which I didn't enjoy. The owner seems to think very highly of himself and their food- therefore I didn't say anything as the point would be moot. read more

My search for the best pizza brought me here after leaving the movie one rainy afternoon. I figure, what the heck... Had a slice of cheese and pepperoni... ehhhhh... greasy.... I hate having to add salt to my slice just to bring out the flavor. Service was bored and never came back to refill drink or ask how things are... I assume that is because they don't want to know, would rather play on their phones. Now I just walk passed this place and go home and pop in a frozen pizza. read more

We were on our annual stay at Hyatt Bonita Springs resort placed an order for 2 pies and 2 Greek salads with no onions as I hate onions. We were told 20-25 minutes. I showed up to pick up our order and had to wait 15 minutes and pizzas sat on the counter waiting on salads. When i returned to the resort pizzas were undercooked very sparse sauce salads had old lettuce with onions so disappointed after throwing out $55..... read more

Great Pizza from a local vendor. You know a pizza is good when even the crust is consumed. There are alternatives in the area.....I've tried both.....this is the Go to option hands down read more

The worst service I've EVER experienced in my 65 years.... PLUS, the server was BRUTAL with BAD attitude.... read more

Amore Brick Oven Pizza - Bianca - Pizza Near Me - Estero, Florida

Excellent Italian food and service. 7 of us had dinner on Tuesday night outside at Mamma Anna (near Regal Theatre). Every dish was delicious from the antipasta platter to eggplant with penne, sausage and mushroom pizza, chicken dish, gnocchi pesto and the special of veal chop parmesan for 2. Mamma cooks, Dad is the waiter and the 2 boys work inside. It was a delete and I will return. read more

Authentic Italian place, now called Mamma Anna. It is really good and I highly encourage everyone to try this place it is worth it!!! Sooooo good so good!!! People who own this place are extremely kind and super nice! read more

I have had a lot of pizza in my life just like most of us and all I have to say is that I am addicted to this place!! The pizza is very very good!! Always hot and fresh! I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Great pizza FAST! Fresh Greek salad. Ice cold beer. Heading to movie now! Life is good! Once Upon a Time is the movie.

Wonderful authentic Italian meal! Fresh pasta, chicken and veggies.. all cooked in a delightful white wine sauce .. I recommend 100% !

Momma Anna makes some wonderful Italian dishes and she will custom make anything. My favorite is the baked ziti with sweet Italian sausage..... yummy. Also the spaghetti and meatballs is another favorite, just lime my momma used to make. My wife likes the Amore salad with grilled chicken. All fresh ingredients and generous portions. This is our favorite local family owned Italian restaurant. read more

Ordered a small meat lovers and half order garlic knots. 20$. Not unreasonable. Good but not fantastic. Outer edge of crust was nicely done, middle was soft and floppy - good flavor but it was a little soft for me. Garlic knots were ok but not great. I might go here again but would try somewhere else. Not particularly friendly but not flat out rude. You'd think you were in Jersey somewhere. Definitely not a brick oven in there - doesn't taste that way and if you had a brick oven you would probably show it off... read more

What's the matter with Erica? This place is so F'd up I don't know where to start. But let's start with Erica, our "waitress". First, she had to be bludgeoned into actually cleaning our dirty table, with a lot of sighs and attitude. Then it was like pulling teeth to get her to obtain the actual price of a bottle of wine we were interested in. She then uncorked the bottle and brought over two wine glasses that were filthy. We then ordered the Authentic New York Pie and she corrected us, "One cheese pie." OK, I guess so. Finally, get this. Our pie comes out, is sliced, and put up on the counter for delivery to our table. I watch as some guy waiting for takeout grabs the pie and starts playing with it. Erica grabs it away from him and then brings it over to us. I begin to object and she goes ballistic. Tossed pie into trash on our way out of this god-forsaken place. BTW, pizza-maker does not wear head treatment even after being reprimanded by city inspector. What a delight!!! read more

Found this place while wandering around the Coconut Pointe Mall. Which was nice for me, cause I was craving pizza. This is a pretty decent pizza place. Nothing really outstanding about the location, It is a nice mall though. The place was busy at 2pm on a Sunday, so the locals like it. It is right next to the movie theater, so that helps business, I am sure. They didn't have a selection of slices, but it was the late afternoon so I forgive them. They did have pepperoni, which is probably what I would get anyway. They kept the slices under a heat lamp instead of throwing them back in the oven, which is what I am used to. It didn't really bother me as the pizza was still hot. The slices were nice and big, with plenty of toppings. The crust was chewy with just the right amount of crispiness. I approve. The sauce was ok, nothing special. The pepperoni wasn't very peppery, but I could taste it. Cheese was a bit greasy, but that added to the feel of ordering a slice. I will eat here again the next time I am in town. read more

Good pizza, and good weekday specials. Wednesdays, you can get a Large 3 topping pizza for around $11. Since the original time of this review, they have increased the Wednesday special to $13. Still good value for a large 3 topping pizza. They have real good NY Style pizza, and good entree selections too. We don't just eat pizza at Amore. We have had some of their appetizers which are pretty bang up. 1. The Fried Eggplant is a pretty sweet little app 2. Greek salad (yes, at an Italian Restaurant) is real good. We are suckers for Greek Food in general. 3. The Eggplant Parmesan dish is pretty good. I love Eggplant and am a particularly picky individual when it comes to my eggplant. They do to-go orders for specials, so on Wednesdays you can order multiple specials of the above. Very friendly and reminds me of the local pizza place around the corner in Queens NY. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since they have opened. The staff has always been attentive, even when the restaurant is busy. Today, I sat over 10 minutes without even a greeting from the staff. Two tables were greeted and sat down and orders taken before I finally got fed-up and just left. Obviously I was invisible. That's a pretty difficult feat for a 350lb man. Seriously not liking the fact that management and staff have changed hands. Will rethink going back here again. This is sad seeing I work in the same plaza. Get on your game Amore!!!! read more

My husband and I have been here at least 4x in the past couple months. LOVED it! To be honest we went there when we first moved to the area (5 years ago) and weren't impressed. SO happy we tried again. Nice owners, perfect gnocchi (and believe me, my Italian husband is an expert) and the true " restaurant non-chain" feeling. read more

Pretty good NY style pizza. Free bread with dipping sauce. I love coming here for lunch. One slice of pizza and a drink for $4.25! read more

Amore Brick Oven Pizza - Garden salad minus black olives and artichokes - Pizza Near Me - Estero, Florida

We ordered a Hawaiian to go. It was on a Wednesday so you get a large 3-topping pizza for around 13 bucks. It took about 15 min. Not sure I saw a brick oven, but the pizza was good! I would go back. read more

To the previous reviewer---Erica is no longer employed there and when I asked, i got the distinct impression she was fired. We enjoyed a lovely blonde waitress named Shelby. The lasagna was delicious. The rest of the family enjoyed Bianca pizza (white pizza). Our whole experience was wonderful and we made it out in plenty of time to see our movie next door. I highly recommend this little place for a delightful bite and friendly service! read more

We looked for a casual spot for dinner before heading down to the beach for sunset and Amore seemed to fit the profile. We were in at about 545pm and were the only customers, so service was fine. Nick did a great job for us. I ordered a sausage/green pepper/onion pizza and my wife had their salad. The pizza was a decent value since we were in there on a Wednesday (special pricing), but as New York style (we're from Chicago, so....) the pie itself wasn't much. My wife's salad was, in her word(s), OK, but nowhere near worth the $9 charge. Amore is a decent option when at the mall or following a movie. It's not cheap and the food isn't special, but it's a nice spot that's close to a happening area. read more

Been here multiple times and have never been disappointed...this is the best pizza in SWFL. Great salads and garlic knots also. Everything is fresh made and delicious! read more

Best Stromboli I ever had. Thanks Anna! High Quality pizza dough, all prepared in their brick oven. read more

This restaurant has new owners and new name MAMMA ANNA'S, fantastic! Stumbled on it at Coconut Mall. Very authentic, it's the real deal.

Usually I come here for a nice big slice of pizza, but today was different. I was disappointed to find they don't sell slices for dinner, being a broke college student, I do not want to buy full pizza! It would simply go to waste. Too bad, lost a customer. read more

Great new owner. VERY attentive and positive. When we complimented his sauce, he brought it over and showed us why it is the best made. I had the Supreme Pizza, and my wife had the Calzone. FABULOUS pie and service. read more

Italian Chef from New York here. I was wishing for ravioli and that is what I ordered. Let me start by saying it was only five raviolis that is not enough to feed a five year old boy. They were drowning in sauce. The sauce was disgusting and unedible. The chef should be embarassed for serving this atrocity of a meal. The raviolis were overcooked and swimming in a tin tasting sauce..taste like a dirty nickle..shame on you for serving this garbage read more

The food is great!! I have never been disappointed ever! The pizza is always crispy, taste amazing no matter what pie you get. Great apps and dessert. The pasta dishes are made to perfection...yum . They have great specials during the week and the staff is the best! Always feel like family when we go. Great place to pick up or dine in. Come check this place out i love it thank you Anna!!! read more

I love Amore brick oven pizza, the owner Anna is very nice and makes the best pizza. I love her!

Great pizza. Thin crust and so much cheese! Just the way I like it. :) Great place to grab a quick slice while shopping.

I guess I'm a creature of habit. I went back again and had the Gambretti alla marinara one more time. Had it spicy again but this time I paid a little more to have spinach mixed in. This time the salad came on time and we got the meal but this time they forgot the bread! So I reminded them and out it came. If you want a quick fairly decent Italian meal, this is the place to go. read more

Got a large to go pizza with three toppings for $11 on the Wednesday special. Very tasty while fresh and yummy the next day cold from the fridge! To me, the crust makes the pizza and theirs was just right....not too thick or too thin and not mushy on day two! read more
