4.5 This is probably my most nostalgic pizza joint in Queens. I don't get to come here often, but when I do, I'm never disappointed. There's a reason why it's considered one of the best pizza places in NYC. It's located right off the Whitestone Expressway, at what many used to call "the Pathmark shopping center" (now Stop & Shop), right between the Subway and the Delicatessen. For those who haven't been here before, don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside and inside, it's a pizza place that probably hasn't been updated in over 15 years. The people who work there, know all the regulars. However, if you're looking for a classic slice that's thin, has a nice crisp, and features sauce and cheese that complement the dough, this is your spot. It's even better when the old guy makes it--he's the one who rolls it the thinnest. A real artist with the dough. One thing to note, though: the price has gone up again recently. A regular pie is now $28. It's a steep price, but if you've never been here and want to try one of the best pizzas in New York, definitely check out Amore.

Pepperoni pizza
Eric F.

A must whenever returning to NY. This small shop is constantly packed, service is quick and friendly. Plenty of options other than pizza, but our go to has always been the pepperoni pie. The portion was generous and the crust had the perfect crunch. Must try when you are in the area

Plain pie
Kevin C.

I been going here for over 20 years. This places always ensures your pizza craving is met. Asked for extra well to give it the extra crunch. One of my all time favorites spots in NY. Cash only never forget!

Sausage and mushrooms pie
Daniel M.

We decided to est out tonight, i kind if k ew that there is not a lot of tables at Amore pizza. So i was ready to just do take out and eat at home with the family. We got there at 5:30pm, place was packed on a friday evening, so we end up ordering a large pie to go with sausage. Aside from the pizzeria being busy, hot and no seating. We walked outside and waited for our pie. We waited 20 minutes and the pie was ready, the smell OMG we were starving. When we got home, the pie was still hot and the cheese and the sauce wow really perfectly covering every piece of the pizza dough. I opened a bottle of red and next thing you know the ouzza was gone, bo survivors no leftovers. Gotta do it again, next time, we get 2

This is the OG New York style pizza! If you're looking for that thin crust, perfectly crispy ,super cheesy, amazing cheese to sauce balance, you have to go to Flushing! This little strip mall has some super magic that takes place in it. They named the place perfectly "Amore" which means love and we love it! Service is fantastic and the pizza is always fresh! And they have parking!!

Stopped by to eat some pizza. We ordered a regular cheese pie. Clearly it was good and we were very hungry because I took a photo after we each had a slice. They make fast, hot, thin tasty pizzas here!

Large cheese

What's not to like about Amore the pizza is thin and delicious. The service is fast and efficient and the staff is always very friendly. The place has old school 80s pizza vibes not much has changed ambiance wise.

Placeis definitely not a stay in one BUT, GREAT PIZZA, toasty and delicious, when is warm you need to devoured it cause it tastes amazing! Is a hidden gem in the middle of the whitestone highway and I recommend grabbing one at any time of the day! Sadly when we were there it was too late to grab a sicilian piece but we did grab a cheese one and a pepperoni one!

Pizza's flavoring and generous amount of cheese was great. But crust was crunchy, toasted, and burnt. The chicken parm's hero bread was also super crunchy and toasted; flavoring was mediocre. This place deserves a 2/5 rating mainly due to the bad service. First off, cleanliness - they handled money, then touched the pepperoni toppings to put into the oven with the same hand (without washing or gloves). Second, very very disorganized! It was busy dinner time and they had one poor old man making everyone's pizza. The boss guy along with another guy were just stocking aimlessly even though their supplies were full, young man doesn't know which order he's giving out to. This lack of teamwork delayed everyone's orders. We had to wait for our 2 slices for at least 30mins. There are better pizza places out in queens and long island than this one

Best pizza of my life perhaps. Came all the way to New York to try Amore Pizzeria, "The Queen of Queens" and it was well worth it. Grandma slice during the wait, whole pie to go. Check it out!

Sam E.

Delicious classic NY pizza and red sauce. I prefer a more savory sauce which is what Amore has. Some places have sauce that are too sweet. Can't go wrong with ordering a pie to share and taking home the leftovers! Still yummy after reheating in the toaster oven or on the pan. Plenty of parking (watch the pot holes). Great pit stop in Queens on the way to or from la guardia airport.

Location across from Elmhurst hospital can be chaotic and parking is tight, but the pizza here is…read moreimpossibly thin and crispy. Haven't had any pizza like this since Pizza Palace on Bayard Street by Columbus Park closed. Easy to eat half a pie by oneself. Crispy, thin crust, perfect amount of sauce and oil (about 2 drips per plain slice, not drowning, but reminds you that this is true NYC pizza), lightly cheesed, but still has a good stringy mozzarella pull. For a similar, but slightly thicker (100% yum factor) NYC slice, it's Manos in Ridgewood. For, the thinnest and crispiest plain slice in NYC, Louie's is the standard bearer. Parked in front, ordered a whole pie, ran inside, threw down some cash, waited outside for the fresh pie to bake. 10 minutes later the owner (possibly Louie hisself) delivers the fresh pie to my car outside and actually thanks me. True Twilight Zone stuff. I scarf a fresh, hot slice straight from the carton before stowing the balance back to Long Island for additional reheat confirmation. With all the political nonsense ongoing, thank Goodness that a righteous, NYC plain slice is still alive, well and residing in un-hipster, un-gentrified, un-apologetically friendly-neighborhood Spiderman Elmhurst. "Best NYC style pizza" is a term that is minimized and bandied about every time some new $60, limited-run, kraft pizza from Japan is the current darling. We submit that this is not the case here. May Louie's be here after all the LES, deep dish, 3 Michelin star bakers and pizza itamae have exhausted their day in the limelight - and leases. $20 all-in (until the hipster masses beat a path here to make Louie's their pizza crusade ) Thank you Louie for giving us working class masses the best, true, unlimited, unpretentious, no-lines, no soup Nazi, no upsell, satisfyingly NYC pizza a $20 can still buy. PS: please don't renovate or move as your pizzeria is a time-capsule whose prime ingredient is sincerity.

Busy, active and definitely for the community given the notes, decorations. I always wanted to stop by here for a slice after watching the owner and father's heroic effort protecting an Asian lady who was being robbed in front of their store. Slice was solid at $3. OK looking undercarriage but limited floop. Only knock is bottom had too much flour remaining. Solid neighborhood spot. People were getting pasta dishes too. Ample seating. Friendly staff.

I finally made it out to Tauro tonight for a pie. I wasn't disappointed. I eat a lot of pizza and…read morethis is seriously good stuff. Particularly considering their cooking on a gozney oven stuffed into a food cart. It's actually a gas fired oven so it's more wood oven style. But that matters little for the taste. I went with a pepperoni and asked to add hongos to which the pizzaolo obliged my request. About 5 minutes later I was handed a piping hot pie and charged $14. But it was only after my first bite when I knew what a steal this is. The crust was nicely charred but also a delicate chew. The sauce is fresh, tangy with a great tomato flavor. The cheese must have had done parm sprinkled on because it was way for flavorful than mozz alone. And toppings tasted fresh and were plentiful. Impressive for sure. The block where the cart sits is super quiet with only a laundromat and another street vendor selling some leche de arroz. I'll have to wash my next pue down with sone of that next time. Nowhere to sit so it's more of a Togo or delivery setup. I'll def be ordering from here again in the future. I can't help think how much hype this cart would have in a more active and affluent area. But something about this cart serving pizza amongst a sea of tacos is so perfect. Keep Queens Real!

I am a sucker for discoveries. So I cheated a little and saw a TikTok of a guy going into the…read moremiddle of Corona to buy pizza, what????? The Tiktok was pretty cool, they highlighted this guy who has a wood fired pizza oven on the corner of 111th st and 37th Ave. I thought the pizza looked great so I decided to drive over, the pizza takes a few minutes to make but it was well worth it. The price was super reasonable at $12-$15 a pie depending on the toppings and comes with 6 slices. Overall, I had a great experience but it didn't occur to me that today was raining, so the crust today felt a little under but because it was raining it would totally affect the outcome of the pie. I will be back to make a second visit. He has a google page and his ig is https://instagram.com/tauro_wfpizza?igshid=MjkzY2Y1YTY=. I would drive and I would also call ahead if you are in a rush. His hours are Tues-Sun 5pm to 11pm. The food: Quattro Stagion Pizza- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, artichoke, mushroom, ham, basil, black olives. I thought this was great, it was also my fav. I really enjoyed the fresh toppings and the addition of the fresh basil made a huge difference. With all their pies their tomato sauce is amazing. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YzPjNisPpVk8ThPDNFhYnw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Mexicana- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy sausage, jalapeno, onion and basil. This was really interesting and of course it had some heat. The sausage which I think was chorizo had a good texture and taste. I think they ran out of jalapeno so they used I think serrano chilies instead and even though they sliced it thin, it did have a punch of heat which I enjoyed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FTw2BoY3afJLG9KrgS_K3g&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Margeurita- Tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil and olive oil.
