If you find yourself in Rockaway and are looking for a great slice (or pie) of old school NY pizza, give Pizza D'Amore a try I grew up here but moved away nearly 40 years ago, so all my old favorites are either gone or under new ownership. I tried this one 7 years ago with my dad when I was home for a school reunion. On this trip for his funeral, I got a pie for the family for dinner Just cheese like a classic NY pie should be. Sauce was mildly sweet and the crust was crispy and perfect This will be my go-to pizzeria whenever I come back to visit from now on! read more

Bacon and Italian sausage square pizza - very crispy and delicious. This is the first time I've bought pizza here.

I should have watched to see what slop they were shoving in the box but who expected they would have swapped a slice of pizza for a wet piece of wonder bread! It should be illegal for a pizzeria to sell something like this under the guise of pizza! read more

Hands down , The best pizza all around this neighborhood where there are many mediocre choices. Standard and unusually creative choices for pizza , including gluten free. I Order frequently for my theatre company cast and everyone LOVES the zucchini squares , even those who usually turn their nose up at vegetables . Recently ordered dinner for the 1st time . Absolutely fantastic rigatoni bolognese & my husband said the best chicken parm he ever had ( & he's tried them all !) will not go anywhere else, This is the best! read more

Very nice and efficient ... One of our friends got injured but we all live very far away , so we wanted to send her some comfort food and take the stress of cooking off her . So I found this place on yelp and called to ask if they delivered trays on same day and they said yes . We ordered 3 trays and it was freshly made and delivered within 2 hours . Great big thanks to the restaurant for delivering same day . And she said the food is amazing !!! So if you need good food delivered you must call these people . read more

Ordered a reg pie, eggplant parm entree and a 2L of diet pepsi. The food was delivered without the 2 L of soda, and when we called the business to let them know the man on the phone said that it was his fault and if we wanted a credit in a non chalant manner. When we stated we wanted the soda and if they could deliver it when they were back in the area as they are in Rockaway park and so are we he said that they're not going to be in the area and he can credit it back to our credit card. You know what makes pizza taste better? A drink. Stating that delivering the soda is an inconvenience to the business when forgetting to bring it is an inconvenience to us. Meanwhile we are the customer. Thanks. read more

Disappointed with the burnt square pie delivered. I recently had a slice in store that was delicious. Please do better. read more

Pizza D'Amore - three pans of pizza on a table - Italian Near Me - Rockaway Park, New York

Truth is, the pizza is pretty good. The guy behind the counter shouldn't be allowed to serve the public. I was in the area on business, got hungry and decided to have lunch here. Ordered 2 slices and a bottle of water. Again, the pizza is pretty good. When I was finished I wanted to use the bathroom. I ask the guy behind the counter where the bathroom is. He says, with plenty of attitude, "No. You can't use it." I wanted to make sure I heard him correctly and said, "I can't use your bathroom after I just ate here?" He says, "NO!" I told him I should have eaten elsewhere and will never come back. All he does is shoot me a dirty look. Never again. read more

This used to be my go to for pizza, is was great but the last couple of pies are lacking big time. $31 for a large square that is 25% smaller and half the cheese. Adios d'amore. read more

After having a disappointing pizza from another local place, we decided to give this place a try. We ordered slices of pizza so we could try different ones. The meat pizza was the best. Very flavorful. The sauce was sweet and delicious, not heavy. Our only complaint was the slices were left a bit long in the oven and got slightly burnt on the bottom, but the flavor was great. Would come back here. read more

Awesome pizzeria. I've had the best all over minus Staten Island. Di Fara's, Lucali's, Amores in Flushing, Patsy's East Harlem... These guys can hang with the best of 'em. Ive tried their plain, spicy pepperoni square, and buffalo chicken slices. Rule #1, Always try the plain slice when visiting a pizza joint for the first time. Solid example of classic NYC slice. Great crunchy/chewy crust with awesome pizza sauce, balance of tang and sweet/spice en perfecto. A surprise was the spicy 'roni square. Not as thick and chewy as Prince's but nice and crisp, generous pepperoni (like Prince used to do, back in the day before you know what happens when all of Asia gets in line). The buffalo chicken was forgettable. Definitely sticking to the plain and spicy square. They also have an extensive menu including garlic and oil pasta I want to try after hitting the beach. Will be back! read more

Pizza is decent if your starving . Highly priced two speciality Sicilian slices 9 bucks. Is it special Dough or something ? . read more

The people who work here are idiots. I ordered soup. Instead of saying they can't do it, they sent me pizzas instead. Like I'm not going to notice. I f you can't do it just say you can't do it. Don't send pizza that I didn't order. I'm sick at home I wanted soup not pizza. read more

OMG, Pizza D'Amore was simply fabulous. More than anything, Pizza D'Amore has an awesome vibe. They got a magnificent menu also. Their service is always very friendly and attentive despite how busy they are. I can not say enough, but I think I have. read more

Amazing and crunchy as hell!! You will fall in love with this place and the staff are super friendly and welcome. Best pizza in Rockaway

A nice job on traditional Grandma pie and my daughter lives there gluten free pie Nothing fancy....decent pasta dishes and good pizza Not a dine in type of place but delivery is quick and conveinant read more

Situated on sketchy 116 street, next to The sketchy subway entrance. This is the former Slices and Ices. New owners, (I believe they have another place in Brooklyn). They are putting forth a good effort to clean the place up, and their pizza is already excellent. The Sicilian slices are delicious, and tried their pepperoni slice. The best pepperoni slice I ever had. Every time I have gone in everything looks fresh, and they are busy. The only problem is the parking, the buses block that whole side of the street, and the riffraff that loiter near by. read more

Kudos to Pizza D'Amore they made my pie perfectly (I'm pretty particular when it comes to pizza) and the guy behind the counter was very nice read more

$6.50 for a slice and a fountain soda. Sitting closed off and is not provided. Smug staff. A slice is thrown at you. NEVER AGAIN !!!

The Rockaway location has problems, they don't answer the phone and in person customer service is poor. The grandma slice was good but something you could make at home with the same results.. Delivery guy tacked on a couple of dollars for himself. Bad vibe Skip - Avoid - f-them read more

One taste and your in love Amore Nice sitting area for a pizza parlor. The only problem with this place is deciding on what pizza to eat. The square is Delicious, the round pies are Perfection. I am not really a Toppings person but I've tried them all and they were all good. Trust me you'll have trouble deciding on what type to eat here. It's that good! The food from the kitchen was OK. It was Fresh, good enough for a pizza parlor, better than I expected. I had no complaints. I was asked the question - how's the food? I said good and then I was told We are working on the kitchen menu. read more

I've seen it here for years, but I never really ventured in. Maybe I did once, and I thought the pizza was alright. I stopped by late one night when they were still open. I got two slices, but since they had some extra, they threw in one of the slices I almost got but went in a different direction. If they hadn't I would not have realized how good the one I would have been missing out on was. I've gone back since that first interaction. Good pizza, good people. read more

Friendly staff, tasty food, fast services and food price, I love their mozzarella sticks

Never again. I'm all about the portion control but u don't send somebody 12 pcs of fried calamari for $13. read more

Pizza D'Amore - You paying $13 for this? - Italian Near Me - Rockaway Park, New York

Horrible... The customer service sucks, plenty of attitude. I ordered food and paid. When i told the guy i didn't want the food based on his attitude and he kept pulling down his mask, and handling the food and money. He refused to give me my money back. I even had to call the police. I wouldn't recommend this place to my dog. I guess my $9.36 is going to make them rich. read more

Not sure why this gets 3 stars. Maybe decor? This is the way pizza should be! Crispy crust, flavorful sauce, real mozzarella! A win.

I've written before that the squares at Pizza D'Amore's branch on Bay Parkway are literally the best square pizzas I've ever had in my life. And the squares at this branch in Rockaway come pretty close to being equally as good. read more

Placed an order for delivery through Slice. An hour and 10 minutes go by I figure let me give them a call. Apparently they called me to tell me they didn't have something I ordered. Never received a call or even a voicemail. Then they tell me that they will prepare the rest of my order now .. mind you this already well over an hour and a half since I placed my initial order. Horrible customer service. Pizza could be better. Better off spending your money at Elegante. read more

Pizza D'Amore you are most certainly outstanding, I had a wonderful experience here yesterday. The price is right. Every thing was very flavorful and yummy. Staff are incredibly pleasant. They're accommodating, polite and always on their game. Pizza D'Amore, I can not say enough great things about this gem. read more

I just don't understand why Everything with sauce here needs to be spicy. I ordered chicken parm and eggplant parm...came spicy...I ordered again..chicken rolls, chicken parm Sandwiches, and a personal cheese pizza for my kid...ALL the sauce is spicy on everything! Tone it down...no one is expecting spicy food without knowing that they ordered it that way. read more

Love this place pizza is great and so is there food. Very nice service all around always am very pleased every time I go there.

I was the only one there standing to order, there were two cooks behind doing their own thing. One making a pizza that looked at me but didn't acknowledge me as a customer. The other having a chat with a friend in the window paying no attention to any customers that walked in. Service is poor. read more

I am impressed, Pizza D'Amore was phenomenal. Pleasant atmosphere. Each and every single thing that we purchased was extremely fresh and flavorful. Crew is super helpful and will help you with anything. Definitely recommended for a stop! read more

I was walking by with my daughter and really wanted a slice of pizza. This is not the first time I have eaten their pizza. As my daughter goes to st Francis and that's where they order they're pizza from. However this would be my first time stepping foot inside. ALL I CAN SAY IS......RIP OFF!! I WILL NEVER GO HERE EVER AGAIN. The owner and management should be ashamed of themselves one slice of white pizza and one slice of pepperoni pizza was 9.00$!! 9.00 really?! For two slices of pizza! That's ridiculous. It wasnt even anything special. You'd think the ricotta cheese was imported from Italy or the pepperoni fresh from a slaughtered pig outside. This is absolutely absurd. Would have never bought it when he told me the price, but I put garlic and couldn't return it. read more

The people taking orders on the phone don't pay attention. I ordered a marinara pizza and specified NO CHEESE. The pizza came in on the delivery with parmesesan sprinkled over it. Some people in my family are lactose intolerant and this was not ACCEPTABLE. It is the second time I asked for no cheese on an item ordered and my request was ignored. I have made large orders on several occasions and I am very disappointed on the lack of following my directions on Mt orders. I will think twice about ordering again from da more . There are several very good pizza places in Rockaway who get my orders right. read more

Pizza is good. Square and regular are solid. Food is really bad. I've ordered chicken parm heroes twice and had to throw it out. Couldn't eat it. The place is also not run well. You call for pizza, they say 15-20 minutes and 40 minutes later.. you're still waiting. This isn't the way the other locations are run. It's a shame. read more

Have ordered delivery pizza several times. Good pizza, good sauce. Meatball, plain or mushroom & onion toppings all very good. Fast delivery. read more

The vodka slice & the zucchini slice are both unforgettable. I used to trek to Brooklyn for a great vodka slice, but I'm glad to have found it here in Rockaway.... Never had a zucchini slice before so I was also glad for that happy accident of an experiment. read more
