We stopped in for a quick lunch before heading home from our visit to the Beacon. I appreciate the California-esque interior, clean, bright, and uncluttered. There's nothing fussy about this place. The pizza was great, good beer/wine, simple food, great service. Ignore any comments that tries to compare this place to other worldly experiences or meet a certain culinary standards. This place doesn't need to do anything else other than continue to do what they do. If you want good food, this is a great spot. read more

Good food but not for the insane prices they charge. Wait staff is friendly but management can be rude. There are much better places in Beacon. read more

I've lived in Firenze and this is the best authentic Italian pizze I've had in NY. Whatever they're doing for the crust is perfection - my favorite is the Figura. Makes me feel like I'm back in Piazza Santo d'Spirito eating a pizza al fresco on the church steps. read more

Fast service. Good quality brick oven pizza. Good for when you want a fairly quick sit down meal and good food. Frequent visitor here

My partner and I went out for a nice dinner on Saturday night - or what we thought would be a nice dinner. Now don't get me wrong - the wait staff was lovely and I have no complaints there. But the food, while attractively plated, had a main flavor note of water. It was the blandest, least flavorful meal I have ever been tricked into thinking was worth that cost. You would think a place advertising itself as a nice Italian restaurant would have a single herb used at any point in the preparation of the food. Maybe a spice or two, just for the adventure of it. Not so here. The texture was lovely, the service was helpful, the food was nicely displayed, but I came there to *eat* the food and the food had zero taste of any kind. Had to go home and make our own dinner after because the portions were microscopic and we needed to experience a flavor other than water. Also we told there were only two seats outdoors when we called and when we showed up we discovered that apparently that was simply not true. We will not be eating here again, ever. read more

Well the wife and I couldn't even try the pizza Saturday night. Walked in to this establishment wanting to get a take out pie and the woman behind the counter said they couldn't do takeout because they were busy. WOW,!! There were only a few tables occupied in the place at this time. I never heard of a pizza place that does not handle take out orders during any time of the day or week. I don't think I want to try the pizza now. read more

I thought Ama was pretty good and I'll go back if they do something about the fly problem. I was there later in the week (last week) when the weather finally cooled down a little bit, and they had a few of the large, door-sized windows (that open to the street), pushed open to let the pleasant, cooler air in BUT.... without any screens on the windows the place became loaded with flies! Disgusting! If I choose to sit outside, I expect to continually swat flies away during the entire meal, but not while I'm dining inside! Just gross. Our server was very nice, though, and said he would love to close those window-doors, but the owner will get upset with him if he does that! Our apps - the Carne Mista and the Caprino - along with our Tartufata pizza was definitely very tasty (although the cracker-thin pizza dough was burned a little underneath) and I'd have given better rating if the fly problem had not been such a distraction! read more

The pizza was large enough to share between two people and at a good price for its gourmet toppings like prosciutto and thin crust style ($15). The service was fantastic and the ambiance gives off a modern vibe. Great for sitting outside during the summer months! I'd definitely come back but hope they include more drinks options and at a more reasonable price. We're not in the city after all. read more

I went to Ama last night and loved it! The ambiance was lovely, we sat outside and were able to enjoy the sunset, but could still see some of the action of the wood burning stove. We ordered the carpaccio and a cesare salad to start- both were excellent. The carpaccio was excellent, it practically melted in your mouth. We then shared a figura pizza, which was also great. The pizza crust was perfect, thin and crispy! These three dishes were plenty for the two of us to share. The food reminded me of being in an Enoteca in Firenze! I have to also rave about our waiter, Zach. He was so helpful and kind, and a pleasure to meet. We will definitely come back, for the food and the great service! read more

We had a nice time here and the staff was attentive. We arrived on the early side for dinner and I don't think the ovens were fully fired hot yet. Our pizzas were delicious but they were missing the desirable char and blisters one normally finds on wood-fired artisan pies. So if you prefer the char of artisanal pizza, I'd mention it to them unless you're too hungry to wait like we were :) We're definitely going back soon despite this and it's a very comfortable spot to dine. Their espresso and cappuccino are divine!! read more

Enoteca Ama - Figura, Quattro, Prosciutto. - Pizza Near Me - Beacon, New York

What I loved: servers were nice, pizza toppings were tasty, overall atmosphere was cool and great for people watching! What can be better: wait time for food was long, beverages were pricey for a "pizza place", the crust of the pizza tasted like a cracker, bathroom lock not working and someone walked in on me. read more

I would give this place a 3.5 if possible. Today was our first time here, they offer white and red personal sized pizzas. Each pizza is thin crust, but a decent size. We tried the meat balls as a starter which I really enjoyed. We shared the quattro and the prosciutto pizza. I liked the quattro pizza a lot but didn't care for the prosciutto pizza. The sauce on the pizza tasted completely unseasoned, the prosciutto pieces were huge slices, they could have been cut smaller. Ambience is ok, not a place you stay and hang for drinks. read more

Enoteca Ama - Meatball app - Pizza Near Me - Beacon, New York

See all

Came here right before the kitchen closed on a Friday before dinner service. Waiter was nice and we were served pretty quickly! A little pricey for what you get (I split a prosciutto panini with a friend which was also a tad salty) but atmosphere was nice and they have heaters outside for outdoor diners :) read more

I have walked by Enoteca several times and was excited to finally try it, because it looks like a great place! I showed up at 3pm and they turned me away, even though the posted hours say it's closed between 3:30-4:30... why be so specific and not honor it? Had a fantastic meal at Baja 328 instead! read more

The only reason I'm not giving it 1 star is because the serving staff was apologetic and tried to be helpful. The pizza was overpriced and lacked flavor. I got the truffle pizza that had a "spread" of cheese on it but it was majorly lacking. It was like two large crackers with a small dollop of cheese spread. The truffle oil had a nice taste but it was dry and underwhelming, and it was certainly not worth the price. We waited an hour for our food, and when my father-in-law said "we've been waiting like an hour and fifteen minutes", one of the servers came over with the ticket and said "it may feel like an hour and fifteen minutes but it was actually only an hour". I think he was trying to be helpful and alleviate some of the frustration, and I appreciated it, but not everyone in my party felt the same way about the gesture. We received no bread and no on-the-house appetizers to pass the time; nothing at all was done except an explanation that the oven can only cook SIX personal pizzas at once so typically it's a long wait. read more

This is a great addition to Beacon. The space is warm and inviting. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, I have done both and am happy with it. The food is great. These are not your regular pizzas I've had the pizza with prosciutto and arugula and I've also had the tartufetta. The latter was amazing. It is a good size for one person or to share. Doesn't make you overly full. It takes a while to get the pizzas,but the wait staff makes sure that your drinks are full while you wait. Awesome addition to Beacon. This place will be around for a while read more

Excellent, crispy, thin crust pizza made in a wood fire oven. Nice toppings. White and red pizzas equally amazing!

Arrived at the restaurant on a Sunday at 430, right when it opened and the entire place was empty. We had a party of 8 including 3 kids. They refused to seat us and said they could not accommodate us unless we crowded around a small table. Really confused about why they would not want our business but in any case we didn't try the pizza and won't plan to go back to try. read more

Got the Margherita and the Coppa Piccante which were both super tasty! I really enjoyed the chili oil on the table, really makes me feel like I'm in Italy. The crust was thin and flavorful. Maybe I was super hungry, but I would consider the pizza to be a personal pie (re: a review about sharing). Attentive service, and the food came really quickly too. read more

I really want to give 3.5 stars, but I'll round up to 4. The fennel salad and pizzas were quite good. Taking off 1.5 stars because the food took a long time to come out, but that's expected with a new restaurant I suppose. Our waiter said the pizza would take 20 minutes to come out. The salads took 20 minutes, and the pizza took an additional 20 minutes. I also was not a fan of the orange cafeteria-like chairs. $2.75 for a small 8 oz glass bottle of soda is also a bit steep. At least give us a 12 oz can! So, while I enjoyed the food, there are some things I wasn't crazy about. I'll certainly go back, though. read more

This place is pretty good in person. Unfortunately this is now the second time I've done takeout/pickup and the pizzas are burnt. When I did pickup the food was warm-ish. When I did delivery everything was cold...and burnt. The cold temp I get, to a degree (zing!). But you obviously know when something is black and you deliver it anyways...twice. read more

The burrata with mango, pomegranate and hazelnuts was great! The pizzas perfect. Just a bit skimpy on the olives. Service was attentive. read more

Service was friendly and wine was great, as was the pizza. I highly recommend the pistachio pizza- very delicious. Also lots of outdoor seating for anybody who is nervous about eating indoors during COVID. read more

Went here on a Friday night with a party of 5. Greeted first by Rocky, who was wonderful serving our drinks at the bar. Transitioned off to a table once our entire party got there. Owner was very abrasive - you could tell he runs a tight ship, but isn't amiable or approachable. Granted, it's a busy night, but my husband and I are regulars in many Beacon establishments and we always feel welcome. That's what makes Beacon special. Now onto the food... Food was good. We really enjoyed one of the appetizers - melted mozzarella and tomato with bread. Very delish! The fig pizza was very enjoyable. Would we go back? Yes, but we would first think about some of our other fav Beacon places b4 coming back here. read more

I enjoy this place. It's pricey but nothing's better than a wood fire baked margarita pizza. It could have used more olives though.

Visited Enoteca Ama a few weeks ago with family. The room is a little sterile and not very inviting despite the wood fired pizza oven in the center. The staff was very nice and attentive if a little inexperienced. Pizzas were good, with thin, crisp crust and very flavorful toppings. Good renditions of Neopolitan style thin crust pizza. The evening was marred by the owner who insisted on arguing with us over a corked bottle of wine, when we asked for a replacement bottle. Mind you, three in our party have a combined 75 years in the wine business and the bottle was clearly corked. The second bottle was fine, but he insisted on coming over to the table to tell us that the first bottle wasn't corked and that he intended to drink it himself. I will not return to Ama based on this experience, even though the pizza's were good. read more

We had a great meal here and made it in at the end of the lunch hour before they closed. Burrata was Delicious. Figura pizza on point. Highly recommend read more

Best thin crust pizza I've ever had. You have to get more than one pizza though, since they aren't that big. I recommend the truffle pizza and margarita pie. The inside is very modern and new. It is definitely worth coming. read more

This place is super cozy and warm. There's something about the sauce on this pizza that blows me away. Super sweet tomato sauce with lots of flavor. Get any pizza with sauce. Cauliflower crust was super crispy and flavorful. Staff is very friendly. read more

There's something up with their wood pizza oven. Pizza cooked at a high temp in a wood fired oven doesn't come out like this. If you are expecting puffy nooks, charred edges and deliciously hot melted pizza.... you will be disappointed. AMAs pizza seem to have good ingredients and the components are there but the result is uncharred, crackery with luke-warm crust not cooked properly pizza. I've been twice and the pizza is a huge disappointment- staff, ambiance, service and drinks are great. It's a shame. read more

This place is awesome. Totally cost effective, amazing service & delish food. You cannot go wrong if you come here. Had the rose & a Pinot grio- both dry & crisp how I like it. The Ceasar salad was spot on as was the spicy pizza we had. Would def come back. read more

The best way to describe this pizza would be, sauce on a cracker. I brought home the left over pizza I wasn't able to finish, and not even my kids liked it. That in itself was something I've never witnessed. A pizza my kids disliked. Never again. read more

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, lackluster, and could be summarized as an absolute blue balling. The only redeeming quality of the food was that it was hot. The sky-scraping prices of this restaurant was completely undeserved for the quality of the food. What could have been a simple 10 minute dinner at Dominos or pizza hut became a 1 hour and 6 minute wait followed by a 5 minute period of eating. The price of an appetizer, 2 pizzas, 1 panini, and a glass of beer came out to be 68 dollars before tip, and left not a single member of the party satisfied in either taste or fullness. Would not recommend, especially since the interior decoration resembles that of a gimmicky dessert bar. TLDR-I could have eaten three of those 14 dollar pizzas without having to wait 1 hour and 6 minutes if i just went to dominos instead. read more

Waited over an hour for a cold crappy pizza. Waiter barely came over. My water glass was empty for half the time I was waiting for my pizza. Would not recommend read more

Great dining experience tonight! My boyfriend and I had an order or meatballs, Cesar salad and figura pizza to share. We enjoyed everything! The only feedback I would give is that they need to let the pizza dough ferment longer to get that fluffy feel as it's pretty thin and crispy. Thanks for the great service, we will be back! read more

$13 for "toaster pizza" Ordered the Margherita pizza - you get a teaspoon worth of sauce and a flimsy amount of cheese that barely covers 1/3 of the pie. What a ripoff. The crust was under baked on bottom and had the consistency of a cracker. I won't return here. The pizza seems to have been an afterthought here. They are a bar disguised as a Pizza joint. Pizza & Stuff (two blocks down) is better by far. read more

Good food that the staff was happy to adjust based on my allergies. Delicious, large-sized personal pies. Very quick and attentive service. Nice open-air space when it's warm out. read more

Enoteca is a nice find. I went there last week with my wife and another couple. We had a cheese board appetizer which was amazing there were four different cheeses, all different, all delicious, all very fresh. The wine selection was pretty good a number of Italian choices. I had something from Calabria and my wife had something from Sicily. It was tasty and we had a second glass. I had the pizza with an egg on top, it sounds a little weird but it was very good. My wife and friends had other choices and we all liked them. We then moved onto home made Gelato... it was the real deal... My only word of caution is if you do not like thin crust pizza this may not be the place for you.... I can't wait to go back. read more

Wonderful endive/ radicchio salad with smoked mozzarella and vegetarian pizza. Great service. A real treat!

This place is great. The pizzas are delicious the meat plate is amazing and everything else is superb. Just make sure you are not in a rush as it does take some time to get your food. However it is worth the wait. The ambience inside is pretty cool the only negative comment are the chairs they remind me of cafeteria chairs. Overall this is great place to have some good Neapolitan pizza and a bottle of wine. read more
