Great food and great customer service. I have only ordered pizza from here but will be coming back for more. Cheese and sauce are on point. read more

Few months ago, I invited my hiking group to join me for dinner at this restaurant. Everyone loved it. Yesterday, after our hike, several of our hikers joined me again at Amato for Pizza and drinks. Another great experience! The staff were friendly and curtious. Service was great and the food was amazing. All my guests enjoyed the experience! I will definately visit them the next time I lead a hike in this area. My favorite: Tehrooni Pizza read more

Prices are high. Food is round table quality and 2-3x the price. For a family of 3 to eat here for $100 is wild. I will not go back. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and place wasn't crowded. Ordered 3 different types of pizza, chicken wings and found a seat. Food tasted good. In my opinion, price is kind of overpriced. Might come back. read more

Best Pizza, please try Pizza Tehroooni! It's the best This restaurant always keep the quality high, I recommend their large pizzas for parties! I love the ambiance as well read more

Amato's is our favorite local pizza parlor. Although not the cheapest, their ingredients -- and especially their sauces -- are high-quality and worth the extra price. Our favorites include the C&B, garlic veggie (which is usually quite mild: I'm personally not a huge garlic fan), and one of their newest creations: the Chicago deep dish Amato's Pie. My wife is from the Chicago area,and on visits there I've also grown to love deep dish pizza, and the Amato's Pie is one of the best we've had in California, on par with Patxi's and Pizzeria Uno's (which, sadly, has closed all their California locations). Patxi's crust is a bit more authentic -- although of the three only Uno's sprinkled cornmeal on it -- but Amato's may have the best-tasting sauce. We usually get our pizzas to go, but we occasionally eat at the restaurant. They do cater to little league and other sports teams though, so once or twice it has been a bit noisy. The service has always been excellent, whether we've gotten takeout or eaten there: Amato's management really seems to value their employees, and they reflect that. read more

Real good pizza and I love the ambience, the service we receive every time. The owner and the staff are the nicest and kindest people. I one hundred percent recommend this pizza place. read more

Best pizza around with the most wonderful owner and staff!! Highly recommend Amato's if you love pizza and great people! read more

Amato Pizza - a pizza in a pizza box - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

I enjoyed this place a lot for a long time. Then they messed an order and left an ingredient off, but instead of remaking it they just cooked separate and combined. I mean it's a $40 dollar large pizza- should've remade it instead of sending me home with a cold pizza. Disappointed, I guess I will cook at home instead. read more

I lived in San Francisco for over 30 years and North Beach Pizza was my go-to pizza -- ooey-gooey-cheesy, veggies cooked perfectly (not too hard). This is the closest thing to North Beach Pizza that I've found. read more

Best pizza ever we tried this place, very noce peaple and good pizza, Just try it Will go again read more

I have been a loyal customer for years. I would order food to go at least once a week. The last 2 times they messed up my order. The last and final time they apologized and stated they would refund my order. I have been waiting for 5 weeks now. I continue to call but there never seems to be a manager or anyone responsible that can help. Each time I leave messages and they promise someone will call back. It is not about the money but more about the principle. I am very disappointed on how they handled this issue. Be aware! read more

Good food. I Innitialy thought the price was high, but I quickly realized it was a case of getting what you pay for. Best pizza I've had in a long time! Good atmosphere. Clean and modern. Good, rather than the typical horrible background music, and not too loud like most places. I walked in there in a bad mood and the staff was very patient with me. read more

The good parts * Great thick crust pizza . Very delicious and heavy . * This is not your cheap pizza light pizza . * Great community favorite for kids sports events and get together a Needs improvement : * Service is not that great . Don't expect a smile from the main owner * low on staff so expect a wait * If you order take out they say 40min and then when you arrive at 40 min , they still say wait another 10 min . This has happened two times now , very annoying read more

Well lit, clean and great local place to have pizza. Nice atmosphere, too. Toppings were fresh and delicious. The salad was nice and fresh, too! Outdoor seating available. read more

A little on the pricey side. But the pizza is really good. The servings are generous. And it's the only place I've found that my husband can go to enjoy local sports games on tv and I don't get overwhelmed by crazy busy crowds. They have a few arcade games in the back. Nice selection of wine and beer. Worth spending a few extra bucks, at least you get your money's worth. read more

The food I ordered was awesome. The caprase salad was to die for along with the potato skins. The Amato pie made me think of Genos east in Chicago. My new eats. Oh yeah, courteous delivery and customer service. read more

I wanted to grab some white sauce pizza in town and initially thought I had made a big mistake ordering from this place. Oh boy, I was wrong. The other reviewers are absolutely correct when they say this pizza tastes "fresh"- it really felt like the tomatoes on the pizza were just picked off a plant outside. Despite it being a pizza, I ended the meal feeling refreshed - as if I just had eaten a salad or something due to the lack of oil on the pie (even more surprising considering I had gotten the Supreme Pizza with white sauce). Wait time was ~30-45 mins via 3rd party app. Place didn't look too busy when I grabbed my food, but YMMV during peak times. My only gripe with the restaurant is it's location - it needs to be closer to town for me to frequent it! You should also consider dining in - seating space is massive and it looked like they had a bunch of beers on tap. read more

Amato pizza is consistently good and I can only hope they are around for a long time.

Over priced food, they charged $45 for a medium pizza and a beer and it was just ok, nothing to wow you here

For those Iranian folks who do not eat pork: The new Tehrooni Pizza comes with pork mortadella. I am glad I verified this. Unexpected and disappointing. read more

Great pizza shop. We've had many different pizzas off their menu (pepperoni, Hawaiian, and done a few create your owns) and it's always delicious. Highly recommend the garlic bread with cheese as well. Good food and good service. read more

I can't say good enough about Amato Pizza! The owner and his staff are generous and warm-hearted! The Pizzas are great and I understand from many neighbors that service is wonderful! My personal experience with the owner having delivered a pizza on the house while I was bed bound from surgery was nothing short of community caring at its best! You can't go wrong with patronizing this wonderful eatery right here in the heart of Almaden Valley! read more

This pizza is bomb. Not super thick and doughy, and also not very thin. It is the perfect thickness. We order pepperoni all the time, probably 10+ times in the last year or two. Everytime the pizza is the same, delicious. It has a herby taste vs some pizza spots that have a sweet taste. I would eat this pizza everyday if I could. Their location is tucked away and their seating is spacious. They have a few TVs which normally are showing sports, a salad bar, and a few games (a must have for a local pizza joint.) Amato Pizza is the best pizza in the area, hands down. read more

This place is the best. You get what you pay for. They're consistently excellent, they've never failed me. I've been coming here for years. I either get pepperoni or the hot & spicy. It is the BEST. They are family-owned and have great service ALL the time, even when you drop ranch dressing all over their floor, like I did tonight. The sweet girl at the counter was SO nice about it. Guys seriously, this is the best tasting pizza ever and the staff are outstanding so just GO THERE and BE HAPPY! To summarize: Are they the best?: Yes Are they my favorite pizza?: Yes Can they get any better?: No read more

We got two Calzones ($9.99 each) to go and enjoyed them for lunch. My wife had the Chicken Calzone (chicken, mushroom, artichoke hearts, & olives with pesto sauce) and I had the Amato Calzone (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, & cheese with tomato sauce). They are tasty and reasonably priced. read more

Pizza is pricey, but it's super tasty. This location is always really clean and the staff is friendly and all seem to be hard workers. Definitely has a neighborhood community feel to it. read more

High-quality pizza. We ordered some last year for a friend's memorial party and everyone was raving about it. Was in town this weekend and picked some up...some of the best pizza around. Expensive, but it's actually worth the price. read more

I like this place a lot. Make sure to call an hour in advance because it takes a while but worth the wait. The combo is my go to. The dough is good 8/10. They could add some homemade sauces since they only have ranch which is not that great. read more

Such an amazing Pizza! Wonderful customer service, highly recommended the garlic veggie pizza!

It's nice to have a family-friendly pizza place in South Bay! The place is next to UPS store, in one building complex as Lucky Store. Parking is private lot. They have lots of variety menus. You can also customized your pizza according to your like. We had half pizza of pepperoni and cheese, and the other half is pepperoni, mushroom, pepper, italian sausage. The 10" size is good for 3-4 people, while the 12" is good for 4-5people. Inside the restaurant they also have arcades, and some games for kids to play. Customer service is good, they greet you when you walk in, and the most convenient of all you can pre-order your pizza from yelp. read more

The owner said it took about 25 minutes and He same out to check if ready , He stayed 7 more minutes. No greetings when first walk in to the place . I did not give any tips for a reason not deserving at all . Got the order in about 45 minutes for one medium pizza and I am the only customer . He worried about to turn on all his TV for Super Bowl events but the only customer not having a lunch waiting for a pizza was not ready as he said. I'll give him 2 thumbs for the service. read more

We ordered three extra large pizzas: a garden veggie, garlic veggie and a cheese. Overall the pizzas were a big hit with the group. I personally loved the cheese. The sauce could use a tad bit more flavoring..each bite of pizza left me wanting some more flavor. The toppings are generous and delicious. We ordered pick-up and it took atleast 30+ minutes for the order to be ready, which seems reasonable. We will be back for more, worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Pizza was okay, not the best! but not bad. I will say I won't be back. I think $26.00 for a small pizza here is way over priced! Better pizza for a better price elsewhere. read more

I've been coming here for fourteen years and have never been disappointed. The pizza is excellent, my personal favorite being a half Amato and half Italian garlic. I also recommend the breadsticks (totally filled with cheese!) The garlic bread also is soooooooo good! The owner is a wonderful human that has always been kind to me and made me feel welcome. Cannot recommend this place enough! Countless birthdays and team parties have been had in the past fourteen years of my patronage that have always been wonderful read more

I was introduced to Amato Pizza several years ago and I really enjoyed their pizzas but the last several times I have had pizzas from there, I have been disappointed. My friend and I always ordered the gluten free pizza and have it with no cheese because of our food allergies. The pizza I got tonight was one of the worst pizzas I have ever had. It was with very little toppings and dry and tasteless because they forgot to put any sauce on it and overcooked it to a crispy flat disc. Whoever made the pizza really does not like their job and does not have the owners best interest in mind and on top of it all it cost me $37 for a small pizza, not including a tip. Very sad. This will be the last pizza I get there. read more

My all time favorite. Fresh ingredients and awesome tasting red sauce. If you haven't try Heavenly cheese pizza, it's a must have when at Amato's. read more

A cool hidden pizza place in the almaden area! They have great ratings and I belive they were named the #1 Pizza place by San jose magazine. YUM! I love the all veggie pizza here! Their breadsticks are good too. The owner is really nice and personal. They also give you a 10% discount if you are a new customer. I went only once, they gave me some promotional items like a mug and daily planner too! It's kind of expensive for pizza but I think it's gourmet, and really worth the price! DELICIOUS! We ordered 2 pizzas, the buffalo wings (also excellent) and the breadsticks. MMMM! I would go back right now but I don't think gaining more holiday weight is a smart thing to do. read more

Amato offers a nice sit down experience for a pizza place. But you are paying for it. A large pizza is upwards of $30, which we all are more than ok with paying if the pizza was good. read more

We finally got around to trying this place and we are so glad we did! My rating is based on comparing it to other pizza places in the immediate area. We opted for delivery. Our vegetarian pizza arrived faster than expected. The pizza was light and the toppings were fresh and flavorful, with an abundance of toppings. You can usually gauge the quality of the cheese by how salty the pizza tastes. The cheese was obviously better quality than most places because the pizza was not overly salty at all, and the amount of cheese was just right (not overloaded and not lacking). The crust was nice and not doughy. The pizza was cooked properly all the way through. I didn't feel icky or overfull after eating it. The prices are in line with other less-impressive places in the area. But the difference is that Amato's pizza is made with higher quality ingredients. Really excited to have tried this place, and wish I had done so sooner! Looking forward to my next pizza from this place! read more
