Delicious pizza! We ordered out from here, so I can't speak to the decor, but the pizza was great. We had the Brooklyn upside down, vodka hot honey roni, and a meatball pie. All pizzas were super flavorful and the crust was... chefs kiss! We also had a Caesar salad and buffalo wings which were good but a bit more of your typical variety. Definitely coming back! read more

I have to give Amano Pizza in Matawan 5 stars because it's the best pizza place in the area for sure! Their upside Sicilian is FANTASTIC! I have not had a better upside slice in all the places I went to in Middlesex or Monmouth County thus far. The sauce is so flavorful and absolutely delicious! It has a nice crisp on the bottom too. The pizza here is crispy, and they don't skimp on quality ingredients or cheese. My next favorite is the white slice with broccoli, and it's even better when I add tomatoes too. I love the quality ricotta cheese and again they don't skimp! The margarita here is also delicious here, but every time I come it's rarely available. They say their grandma square slice is similar, but the actual Margarita slice is much better. My husband loves their regular cheese slice! I highly recommend Amano's in Matawan! read more

Easily one of my favorite pizza places! I have tried them a couple times so far, and each time I've loved it. Honey on their margherita pizza is a real game changer. The honey roni option is also delicious if you're a fan of pepperoni. A slice of their BBQ chicken is mouthwatering! I also recommend the chicken ranchero. Their pizzas are yummy, crispy, and not too greasy. Their desserts are also yummy, and I would definitely recommend their cannolis and chocolate chip cookies. The employees here are super warm and welcoming. If you choose to dine in, they have a small but clean dining area where you can easily find a seat to grab a quick bite. Their loyalty program sends out a decent amount of offers as well! read more

I think I'm addicted to this place. Can't believe I've lived down the road and never knew of this hidden gem. Haven't had a pizza I didn't love! read more

This is what I got vs what was on the website. How dare they not even cook the substandard burrata? Where are the caramelized onion? I'm throwing it away. If this their "quality" imagine how bad the cleanliness is? read more

Been a regular here recently for the rolls. The pepperoni, buffalo chicken, chicken Parmesan are all very good. Their pizza is also very good. Tried the house pie and was not disappointed. read more

My review really only requires three words: Amano is Amazing! Hands down the best pizza and Italian food in Aberdeen/Matawan area. Highly recommended! read more

Great food, fair prices, ready on time with a professional staff. Couldn't ask for more than that!

Overall, a great experience! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere gave me nostalgic 2000s pizza restaurant vibes -- warm, welcoming, and comfortable. I'd absolutely recommend grabbing a meal here. read more

I tried the upside down Brooklyn pizza and was surprised when I received a behemoth of a pizza. The pizza was good and I enjoyed the sauce. The bread was airy and light even though it was thick. The garlic knots were good too but the pizza was the star. I would get the upside down pie again but maybe just a slice or if I'm with a large group. The menu has some other interesting items so I will try something different next time. read more

Pizza has a decent flavor but it is one of the floppiest/soggiest slices I've had. Has no crisp on the crust. read more

3 stars because the wings and mozzarella sticks were decent. I ordered those and a vodka grandma with sausage and sautéed onions. I've ordered this same trio at a lot of spots and was underwhelmed. Especially with the $66 tab. They gave me a pie with raw onions. Totally different vibe. The crust was so hard it seemed like it was par-baked the day before. I drove 30 min out my way to try it. They should put the effort into their food instead of their social media presence. One and done. read more

Scum of the earth and I recommend that everyone avoid this establishment going forward. Ordered the pasta special @ $19.99. Got my food all was fine. Today notice the charge changed from $27 to $43.01. Checked the receipt to see a half assed explanation that sides cost more when no where on their site or app does it specify that (see pics). No one called me, the delivery driver made no mention of this. Been a customer since they opened and have spent thousands of dollars over the years keeping these fucker's open. Needless to say I will never ever buy from you guys again. I will make sure the whole of the internet knows of this shady business practice and will be in touch with the BBB and chamber of commerce. I will also be filing a fraudulent charge claim with my bank. Absolutely despicable and uncalled for. read more

I paid almost 20 dollars for a plain pizza that would not be a problem if it was good the service was impeccable. Bit the pizza was just as if I bought a frozen pizza from the store not impressed at all first time trying their pizza and last time pizza was really bad. I'm sorry to say their balsamic dressing is to die for will not be orderopizza again I did give it a chance read more

Just ordered a takeout large plain pie today for lunch and I have to say it was fantastic. The crust was good. The amount of cheese was great. They had some specialty pies coming out of the oven, since I was there so early, and they looked great also. I think from now on this will be my go to pizza place. read more

Amano has the best tasting pizza and so many different types. I always get excellent service and great food. I've had the pleasure of meeting the owners John and Nino. I've told them how excellent their food and staff are. They also have a Mgr Brian who goes the extra mile to get your order right and fresh. If I call in the process is fast and smooth. Great people there. read more

We love their sausage pie! They use crumbled sausage and it covers the whole pie. Easy to order and never experienced any problems.

This place was recommended by a food critic on instagram and it did not disappoint. The restaurant looked clean in all of the pictures but I did not visit as I ordered it for delivery. The pizza came very quickly, looked amazing upon arrival, and the delivery driver was very nice. The pizza itself was amazing which I can't seem to find a lot of amazing pizza in Nj. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great pizzeria in the area. read more

I been here many times and never a disappointment. First thing I look at the pizza is the presentation, how is the sauce and cheese is. I usually get the volka slice and this is one of three best Volka sauce with real ingredients in three sauce. This is real high quality cheese and not like some fake places out that skimp on their ingredients. Wish you much success and luck NIco. read more

Ordered the grandma pie and it was delicious. Really hit the spot... Not overly salty and a hint of sweetness. My first time ordering from here and I'll do it again! UPDATE: Eating leftovers and had to knock this down a star. There was black hair baked into the pizza crust. Ugh... I feel nauseous. read more

Been hearing about this place for a months!!

I have never been disappointed the staff is super friendly and the pizza is OUTSTANDING!! Regular slice Vodka slice Grandma with pesto Hot honeyroni ALL AMAZING!! See you guys again Saturday read more

Got the grandma pie. Told the gentleman I would be there at 850pm to pick it up he told me he would wait 1" mins to put it in oven so it was hot and fresh. It was perfectly timed. Literally.... perfectly timed. Perfect crust, sauce to cheese ratio etc., Also I'm not a big sauce person but the sauce was killer. I'm glad I found a place,i like, close to my new home that I can trust. read more

In an area that is absolutely positively saturated with pizza shops amano's stands out from the rest. Best pizza in matawan bar none and they have the best customer service out of all the pizza shops in the area that I've been too. I can tell that the guys love where they work. And the food is great, so long as you stick to the standard pizza staples. Their pastas need more work, but really that's not what you wanna go here for anyway. There pizza is great, especially if you love thin crust, and their portions are really generous relative to the price you pay. No shrinkflation here. For the best pizza in the matawan area I recommend this hidden gem. read more

This pizzeria is so good!! Tried a few of their slices, and the selection was huge! I loved the upside-down Brooklyn slice (even better than L+B in my opinion) , I also tried the BBQ chicken, both were amazing. I dont know how they do it, but the pizza is nice and soft , yet the bottom is crisp and crunchy. All the staff there, made me feel like I was at home, and they were always cleaning, so the place looked spotless. What a gem in the heart of Matawan. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

I love to support local businesses, however, sometimes it falls short which was my experience at Amano's. My penne vodka slice was excellent and full of great flavor. However, the Buffalo chicken slice lacked the spicy taste we were expecting and was missing flavor. The unfortunate part to this was the lack of service provided. We walked in and approached the counter to place our order. The young tall man with the dark curly hair ignored us while he continued to answer three phone calls and place their orders without taking ours. He was asked two different times by the guy making the pizza to take our's first before answering another call, but he ignored him and continued answering the phone and placing other orders. Finally the guy making the pizza's got annoyed and came over to the register to take our order. Overall, I recommend calling ahead to place your order to avoid being ignored. read more

My go to place for the last few months - always great food always great service. The Margherita Panini (grilled chicken, fresh mozz, roasted red peppers and balsamic, on fresh homemade bread) is the hidden gem on the menu! When ordering a pie, always order the x-large -18" you get 25% more pie for like 8-11% more money - that's a great value! read more

Best pizza in Matawan! my entire family enjoys their pizza every single week. My 4year old ate 3 slices and asked for a fourth slice!

I ordered a grand ma pizza from Amano pizza 1/6/22 through door dash. Total cost with tip $33.00. I was looking forward to it as I was starving. At the first bite, I knew that the dough was stale. The whole crust of the pizza tasted like it had been left out for a day. It was hard and stale like bread or rolls get. I ate 4 slices and threw the rest in the garbage. Will not be ordering from here ever again. I work too hard for my money. read more
