Best Pizza in North Jersey hands down. All types of varieties. The squares and the thin crust are out of this world The sandwiches are also very good. Very Friendly Staff. With good fair priced read more

Very underwhelming. This place has been on my list for a while and while I'm glad I tried it I probably wouldn't go back. The classic pie was good, very garlicky. Good amount of sauce and cheese but not my favorite pizza ever. The calzone was ok as well. Very garlicky also and sometimes you just want a classic calzone flavor. Garlic isn't a bad thing but it was a little overwhelming for me. The nail in the coffin was the cheesesteak. Don't even offer it on the menu if you're just gonna sell me some good bread with just peppers and onions. There was literally barely any meat in the sandwich. It was super disappointing. Take the fries off and add more protein. We picked up the food and that was easy, nice parking lot and the staff was friendly. They have a nice little outdoor seating area also. read more

Went here for the first time last nite on a date night with the wife. Yes I am a lucky man when we both enjoy a great pie outside for a date! Firstly, the food is prepared surprisingly fast. The pictures of the pizzas above the ordering window are mostly described as crispy or thin or both- so many to choose from. My kinda place. The Italia had the perfect ratio of cheese and flavorful sauce with the kinda crisp/char I love on the edges. Hey if you like pizzas where you dont eat the crust, I don't wanna hear it lol. Heres my tip: Get the fries as well! I love fries as much as I love pizza and these were so crisp on the outside with the perfect amount of salt that I could have eaten them without the ketchup! Jack Calandra - I am coming back for those fries and a pie- my only problem- which pizza do I try next read more

Amore Pizza absolutely hit the spot! The slice I ordered was massive (big enough to share with my honey). In my opinion, it's honestly one of the biggest and best in Nutley. The crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce was flavorful, and the whole thing was just incredibly delicious. Sometimes you just need a slice that delivers on all fronts, and Amore did exactly that. If you're in the area and craving pizza that's satisfying and full of flavor, this is the place. I'll definitely be back! read more

Found this place on door dash, and then realized they are pretty popular! The door dash and uber eats app options are slightly disappointing, no option to add toppings to the heart shaped pizza. Also the heart pizza was a bit disappointing, shape wise. It just looked like a deformed circle but maybe I'm being too picky. Just comparing to other restaurants I've had. The sample photos and price justifies a bit more effort or just take it off the menu honestly. The pizza itself was good! I really liked the garlicky flavor, sauce tasted fresh and the dough was also a hit. We really wanted toppings so I got 1 slice with pepperoni, I could have skipped this. Although the slice should be the same as the heart pizza, just with added pepperoni, the flavors were veryyyyy different, the pizza was dry and tasted like it sat in the restaurant all day. Do yourself a favor and order a pie. Also, if you are doing a pick up order beware there may be some challenges. The front person working kept asking for a QR code, we confirmed name and showed a screenshot of the order. I order out a decent amount and do pick up on door dash and uber eats and never have been given a QR code. She asked a few times so it did become a tad overwhelming. Nonetheless, it's a good pizza place compared to Jersey options. Hoping for a slightly better experience next time. read more

Grandma pie is the best and should be eaten piping hot to bring out the flavor. I reheat before eating if I order it takeout. Family owned business and they all come to greet you when you pick up your food, and they remember your face if you're a regular. They also added indoor seating. Very people-oriented, friendly, and smiley. read more

Decided to come in for a cheese pizza and was kindly greeted by Carlos. He was very nice and prepared my order right away. The inside of the store was small and cozy and there were covered tables outside along with an ordering window. The pizza tasted delicious. I had a great experience and can't wait to try other flavors! read more

One of the best pizzas in town! Service is top notch & the pizza is fantastic. We tried the Nonna pie for the first time & it did not disappoint. Pizza slices are always good no matter what you get. Jack is a fun guy to talk to! read more

Place over rated. Pies are dry and tasteless. Will never order from them again. Plus, they are over priced. Not happy with this place.

The bacon ranch and buffalo chicken slices were so good!! The atmosphere. Was chill as well and amazing

That's Amore ain't no lie! I was driving right by this 900 square feet gem and had to pull over to grab a pie. After all it's home of the Giuseppe pie! Now that's when the moon it's your eye! Friendly family-run staff, parking and outdoor dining (too bad there's no indoor-but pretend your on the Seaside boardwalk and you'll be fine) make this place shine. Most pies are thin crust and yeah there's plenty of ultra thin too. In the words of The Terminator, "I'll be back!" And you will be too! read more

(Anyone else see the full clunky name of this place and have flashbacks to high school with subordinate clauses and diagramming sentences?!) At this little rectangle of a building across the street from the Nutley Diner just a stone's throw from a really busy intersection is where you'll find a seriously delicious pizza. We went with the "thinny skinny" and we had the foresight to order two. As advertised: it's thinny and it's skinny (I really think I could fit an entire slice in my mouth but I was raised better than that). It's well-charred and packed a nice punch. (If you lean more towards a more stiff-cracker-bottom... you won't be happy with the wimpy-flimsy style here.) Our family of four demolished the first pie in minutes and put a good dent in the second one. Menu pricing is a touch steep (on some items) but it's a damn good pizza. Cool crew behind the counter. There's a (narrow) parking lot but things can get a bit hairy coming/going with all the traffic in that area. Can 'Amore' hold their own against (the beloved but overrated) Star Tavern? Definitely. Can 'Amore' go toe-to-toe against Kinchley's Tavern (the reigning champ of the thin crust pie in North Jersey)? Well... read more

I've ordered a few times now from here and I can say that by far the star of the show is still the pizza. With that said, last time I had the pasta with meatballs and their sauce game is serious. I could have eaten the whole bowl of pasta with just that sauce great job. The meatballs on the other hand had a mass market meatball flavor, it was like getting high quality frozen meatballs from the super market. Its not a bad thing they are good, it's just nothing special. One other thing that gets me, is that every delivery service has a large pie for $16 and it you pick it up its $13. We are already gouged by the delivery fee and service charge of the delivery apps do you really need to inflate the price by $3 for delivery? I like this place and I would/have recommended them hence the update to 4 stars. They just introduced the Barstool Pie Margherita pie, which is their way of enticing Dave to stop in, however he does prefer the "New Haven" style of pizza which is closer to a neapolitian, but I'm still going to try it. Maybe a third update? We'll see, Salud! read more

Great pizza. Love the sauce and crust And the fact that their sausage pie has a little kick to it. A must try

All you need to know is this is the pizza of my dreams. 1. Don't crucify me but this is the supermodel version of a domino's pan pizza (which has no likeable qualities besides the crust) 2. Sauce has amazing flavor and there is extra on top which is a 1000/10 3. Just enough cheese, not too greasy and awesome. Best pizza I've had in a while around Nutley/Clifton area read more

To be fair I haven't ordered the pizza yet but I did order calamari For $15 you get over cooked dry and restaurant depot calamari it was like tough rubber looked Moore like onion rings than calamari Most places I order from for less had better quality calamari more like homemade They should be as of themselves for selling this at that price I ordered on Uber eats and in the notes asked for the sauce to be spicy but no Maybe that would have killed the taste Very disappointed not sure if I'll try the pizza left a bad taste in my mouth Threw this away and had to order elsewhere and pay for that too I'll have to take the loss read more

This is for the pizza only as we were in mood for a good NJ pie last night. After seeing Barstool Dave rant about this we thought we would give it a try. Ordered their skinny thin well-done. Was ready timely. Take out only roadside type stand. People very friendly. Pizza was 8 out of 10. Great crust tremendous sauce with a nice tang. Only con was it needed more cheese. Almost couldn't be found. My opinion better than The ultra hyped Ralph's. A definite repeat will ask for more cheese jext time. read more

I only went there because of David Portnoy. The crust is crisp. The sauce tastes like homemade gravy from macaroni. That's a good thing. But for me, the taste was lacking. Needed more garlic, oregano, or something. It was ok, I just had their basic slice. Don't know that I'd rush back. read more

I am always trying to find good pizza in northern NJ. After watching Barstools, I decided to give it a try. Nutley has many pizzerias in town so I figured it was going to be typical Nutley/Belleville pizza. I was completely wrong!! Amore pizza is definitely a top contender in town. We ordered the thinny skinny and grandma pie. Both were delicious and fresh but the grandma pie was the winner for me. Each bite had the perfect ratio of sauce/cheese and most importantly no flop! The pizza had a slight crunch which is my favorite! I am excited to have found another solid spot for good pizza in northern New Jersey. Just keep in mind that they have very few tables outdoor, no indoor seating but has plenty of parking. Eat out of the trunk of your car, it's worth it!! read more

Good food but unfortunately the owner is a complete moron. No Customer service. Love the pizza but will not tolerate being treated like dirt. read more

This is THE spot for pizza. It is so good, do not even give it another thought. The Sicilian is out of this world but the upside down sicilian pie, the palermo, is a nice alternative if you want a thinner crust. Cannot say enough good things about this place - I always crave it and they never miss. read more

Great little Pizza Place that has taken the neighborhood by storm. They have no indoor seating, but do have 6 tables outside. Parking lot is available and can handle 10 cars at a time. Small location, but they crank it out with the best of them. Friendly staff and willing to accommodate any requests you like. Their customer service makes up for their size and they are already considered one of the best pizzerias in Northern NJ in their short time open. Give it a try the next time you are in Nutley. read more

the pizza is a bit on the saltier side for my taste, but the service makes up for it. the workers are so kind, and even threw in a free slice toward the end of the night. will always stop here for a convenient bite read more

Nice to actually have a good pizza spot without having to drive more north. The large pie was on the smaller side and between two of us, we finished the entire pie in one sitting. The crust was absolutely delicious and the perfect amount of crunchiness without being burnt. However, I ordered for pickup and they told me 10minute wait, but when I picked up the pie it was cold. So that made me think if the pie was made a while ago and just sitting there... read more

A very nice salad with excellent dressing. Average slice, but perfectly cooked. Not much flavor in the crust, not much flavor in the sauce, average cheese. A really excellent Sicilian slice. Excellent crust, baked perfectly, nice blanket of cheese, and the zesty sauce on top with some oregano. I will give it another try because I really want it to get to five stars. I will try some of their other offerings and reassess. Right now, four stars is no insult for a new place. The grilled chicken served with a salad was terrific, by the way, and several cuts above the usual. read more

There are so many pizza places around this area. I normally order from Amore for my wife and myself, but this Friday I had the entire family over. So prices for 4 pies a sandwich and an app or two. The price would of been well over $150. Amore is good. A solid B+ pizza pie. At $18.95 for a large cheese pizza plus $4 a topping on the Slice app. They are a bit to pricey though, and when ordering for many people you could forget about it. No plain large cheese pizza should cost over $14. Even during these elevated Biden price times. Again, a very good pizza pie, but price lowers their rating. For that price you could get better in this area. Emilio's, Ralph's. Amore's pizza is Equal to Lou's in Nutley, both very good. Lou's cheese pie is $12. $2 toppings. I will order again from Amore because their pizza is good, just not as often because of price. Just being honest. read more

As a guy who grew up in NYC I'm very used to a certain taste in my pizza that I have not been able to find in New Jersey when I moved here in 2002. I think New Jersey pizza is excellent but it just doesn't have the flavors I'm used to growing up. That is until I found Amore Pizza in Nutley. Jacks pizza isn't close to NY pizza it's exactly the same thing. All his pies are excellent but the bleeker st pie is one of the best pizza pies I've ever had in my life. He also makes incredible chicken wings. This is a North Jersey must try! read more

I've been searching for a good pizza spot since I moved here in April and haven't had luck until I passed by this place when I took my daughter to the park nearby. I got 2 slices to go, the Giuseppe and chicken parm, and they were surprisingly delicious! I'm used to the good pizza back in Hoboken, and I have to say this place beats some of the pizza places over there. The crust was thin and crispy yet not droopy. The sauce on the Giuseppe slice was rich and flavorful. They definitely hit the spot, and I'm looking forward to going back again! read more

Famous pizza, still has the great taste it always has. David portnoy gave a high score. So enjoy enjoy enjoy.

Was expecting the pizza to be good since it was a thinny thin but the pizza was burnt and soggy. Every slice that I pulled literally ripped apart and wasn't edible. Also forgot to deliver my mozzarella sticks, won't be ordering from here again. read more

For a first time comer I'm gonna throw it out there and say that this was definitely not a bad spot to stop for a quick bite, it was a good slice of pizza and and they were dog friendly on there patio even had a treat for my dog a second visit here would definitely solidify its teetering four star. Im gonna say for a small joint he had a big parking lot and a clean patio area nice tables felt comfortable in the area. People behind the counter were very nice and like sold me with a dog treat deff a return! read more

I think something changed because we used to like this place. Pizza is okay, but too greasy and lacking flavor. Also had gluten free pizza here- it was not as good as a frozen gluten free pizza. Cheese/toppings slide off the crust and also too greasy. read more

Stopped in for a slice (which is apparently is not the way to eat pizza in Nutley). It had all the makings of a great pizza, but it wasn't cooked enough in the first place, and then it wasn't heated enough when I ordered it. The sauce had a great flavor to it. The cheese was high quality - very smooth, rich, melted so evenly, but didn't have much flavor of its own. Despite this, it blended well with the sauce to create a very good flavor, overall. The dough was nice and thin, but not the least bit crispy. It was pale and whitish all around, and the crust was more like bread than a crust. That said, this crust had a good flavor, as well. All in all, I'd give it a 4 for flavor, minus 1 for being undercooked and soft, not crispy. I will give it another try - I'd love to see what this pizza tastes like when it is cooked through. read more
