I ordered a vegetarian deep dish pizza from Amato's last week. The crust was pretty plain, but the sauce was good. I liked the olives, onions, and green peppers that went into it, but I have to admit the broccoli added a different twist. Since broccoli is so flavorful, it didn't mix well with the olives, which on their own are pretty empowering. If you order the vegetarian pizza next time, I'd recommend no broccoli. O When I'm out in Aurora again and REALLY wanted to a deep dish, I'd probably order from Amato's if I couldn't find another alternative. It wouldn't be my first pick though. read more

I have heard great things about Amato's , and i am happy to report they are true! Their pizza is one of the best around, dare I say it's close to Lou's? For you non-Chicago natives, Lou is the benchmark! Uno you say? Yes, Lou will kick you in the Uno region. Anyway, if you want a great pizza pie, and live close, you will not be disappointed! It's kind of hectic when it's busy, but they have a good pizza. read more

Our daughter had some friends over, we usually have Pizza from a few other local spots, thought we would try Amatos after 12yrs living near by. Had a thin crust family size 1/2 pepperoni and a 14 inch Chicago style Cheese. Doughy for both pies; even the thin crust. To sum it up, unremarkable, there's better locals nearby. Sorry guys, call it as I taste it. 1/17/16: Based on owners rather defensive, lack of acknowledged response reduced to 2 stars. Customer experience is important. read more

We order from Amatos often. The pizza is always good! This time we tried their sandwiches. Hubbie got the italian sausage and I got the 1/3 lb burger with cheese and green olives. The burger was excellent. Delivered hot with the perfect proportion of toppings. I did not expect that good of a burger from a pizza place! The italian was good but they forgot the marinara on it. No problem, hubbie used some of the sauce from the penne pasta he ordered as a side substitution for the fries. Love that you can change out for the pasta. The sauce is very good. Love Amatos and that they deliver in our area! read more

You have not had pizza until you've had Amato's!! I am originally from the area but have moved away...Amato's is my FIRST stop every time I come home. I love their everything!! Best EVER! read more

We ordered a pizza, didn't expect much, but we were surprised. The pizza was great, the delivery was fast. We will try to keep Amato's in business. Thank you so much. read more

Maybe pizza is better but I would definitely. Not recommend for sandwiches. Way overpriced for just average food. Italbeef combo fries soda $15 no thanks. read more

One of the benefits of living in the Chicagoland area is the large amount of pizza joints to choose from. Although I would like to see myself as a pizza connoisseur, I know I'm just another shmuck that eats a lot of pizza from multiple places. Years ago when I was living in Carol Stream, I was able to enjoy Amato's from their Glendale Heights location. Since I moved out to Aurora in 2003, I haven't seen nor touched their food. A couple Friday's ago while getting ready to order from our standard place, for some reason Amato's flashed in my head. Since I haven't enjoyed their food in over 7 years, we figured we'd give it a shot. Since then and every time we've ordered from this location, delivery has been like lighting. I think the longest we have waited was 35 minutes. As for the food, better than I remember. Actually, this is in my top three of best thin crust pizzas I have ever had. Another plus about this location is they don't skimp on the ingredients. The first time I ordered with extra cheese and there was just too much. The next time I ordered normally and it was perfect. The only other item I've tried on the menu was the wings. They are good and large, but their sauces are pretty average. Either way; great pizza, fast delivery and competitive pricing. Highly recommended! read more

I love this place. We order from here all the time. They always go that extra Mile for me. But last night I ordered baked penned and asked if I could have an Alfredo sauce instead of the usual Marinara. I have to say cudos to the chef. It was absolutely delicious. Thanks guys. Your loyal customer. Deb Lincoln. read more

Well...this is a bit of a complex final conclusion. We tried out the Amato's salad & Chicago style stuffed crust veggie with pepperoni. Generous amount of sauce, no problem there. The salad was a better than average kick start to open us up for the pizza. Ordered a couple of sodas to go with our meal. My thoughts were if you want something in the middle of Geno's East & Giardano's but without the sexiness of Lou Malnatis this is what you wanna have. The staff was nice. Limited seating, so if you wanna sit down for lunch, good luck. I suggest ordering for pick up. Overall, I wasn't wowed, but not turned off by the pizza or experience. It was good, not great, but definitely recommend you try it if you are tired of your usual pizza haunts. If you're not closing bars down on a Friday night & wanna transition to a semi late dinner this is a good spot to catch a quite meal with someone you have dinner with regularly. It's nothing fancy, but it's worth putting on a list to try. Happy Eating read more

Amato's Pizza - This medium was more than enough for 4 people. Total gut bomb in a good way! - Pizza Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Very much I like Bacon pizza is the best bacon pizza I've had. Most places its way too salty, but this place gets it perfect Obviously the sausage is very good, but try the bacon pizza, you will like it very much read more

I love the pizza and the service. Very nice people and I recommend it to anyone looking for quality pizza! 10/10 would recommend!

Best place always 10/10 if anything ever happens with your food they'll make up for it I love coming here

This review is for their take-out/delivery experience. Prices are creeping up and food quality is slipping. Have not ordered pizza for over a year (as I found pizza that our family prefers over Amato's) but have been ordering other menu items such as sandwiches (hot and cold) and dinners due to the proximity of their location to our house. Over the past year or two, the portions have been getting smaller while prices have been rising. If the prices simply increased it would still be a good value (rather than great) and my review would have stayed at my origional 4 stars. I wish to let the readers of this review know; Management of this establishment replied to my review and I acknowledge prices have gone up over the past 13 years, however, I was speaking to the past year or two. Food should be a good to great value as well as taste good to receive a 4 or 5 star review, especially when an establishment focuses on take-out/delivery. read more

Good stuff. Lunch special is two slices and a pop for six bucks. Pretty good deal. Try to go early for that though, closer to 11am so that the pizza is fresh. read more

Today I was in a real pinch. I needed to feed 13 people a healthy salad within an hour. They were friendly, helpful, and SUPER fast!! Highly recommend!! read more

I'm a New Yorker so I'm not usually a fan of pizza around Chicago...but some of it is not so bad. Amato's however is an example of everything that is wrong with pizza in the mid west. Crust is like hard tack civil war biscuit. So much so that cheese won't blend to it...just slides off in a lump. Sauce has a bitter taste....like marinara from a jar. And then there is that ridiculous cross cut slicing. Did I mention that it's kind of expensive? I did like their ordering system, which I will never use again. But I ordered half pepperoni, half sausage and they put the really tiny amounts of both on one half and left the other half plain. Oy veh. Go to Jets instead. read more

Horrible pizza! Worst I've ever had. The owner claims he's never had any complaints. Well not according to Google or Yelp. We ordered a double crust pizza and a super thin pizza. What a disaster! The thin pizza was to be crispy. It was soggy and tasteless. The double dough pizza was nasty and tasted like cardboard. Do yourself a favor and pass on this establishment. Justin wouldn't even listen to our complaints and offered his apology instead. Run. Don't walk away from this crappy place who dares to call itself a pizza parlor. What a joke! Yuck! read more

The service was very friendly, the food was delicious, the restaurant was clean. It had a very homie feel, you could tell the staff was kind of like a family. It was a very enjoyable experience and we would definitely go back if we had the opportunity! read more

The dough is good, but the overall pizza is Average. The service was kind and professional. The A/C was broke which made it hot as balls. Luckly it was cooler outside and we sat outside at the round rusty tables. The place could use an update, but the staff was nice so i guess thats cool. read more

I've tired a little bit of everything here. From the pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, and apps--everything is pretty flavorful and portions are huge. This is my go-to place for deep dish for sure. It's not the best pizza I've had, but I know exactly what I'm getting every time. Four stars as the staff can sometimes be a tad colorful/brash and some food is frozen, not fresh--minor details. I usually order the specials and use their rewards program to get a few dollars off. Overall everything is pretty good and I would recommend for pizza night! read more

Lucky to live down the road from an all around great pizza joint! Over 8 years of ordering we have never had an issue and tonight our pizza was especially good. Thanks for always being friendly, efficient and better than expected! read more

I'm going to upgrade this. Amato's has become my go-to pizza. Even my parents look forward to eating here when they come up from St. Louis. Pizzas always have tons of toppings, sauce isn't too sweet, crust is crispy, and they use lots of really good cheese. Always nicely browned, and perfectly rubbery. I love that texture. The trick is to get a smaller pizza than I think I want...because once I get started, I can eat way too much and hate myself for it. read more

Decided to stop delivering to our "area". We live 4 miles - 10 minutes from them. Pretty good food but extremely rude on the phone!

Usually this place is great but not tonight. I ordered half Molti Gusti and couldn't figure out what I wanted on the other half. Adam said if it was just cheese on the other half it wouldn't work because of all the ingredients on the Molti Gusti-the cheese size would burn. I said I would figure out what I wanted and call him back. I called back within less than 3 minutes and ordered the other half to be Margherita with sausage. At first he didn't think that was going to work and then he was having trouble ringing it up-was going to charge me separately for each ingredient and I said no-he didn't which was cool. Thursday is Wing Special night-8 with bone for $4.99. I ordered 1 Buffalo and asked which was better the teriyaki or garlic. He said garlic was his favorite so I got that. Neither order was right. No sausage on the Margherita and 2 orders of garlic. The wings were dry-no sauce on them at all. Wish I would have known this. I don't like them that way and was looking forward to the others which should have been saucy AND spicy. Pizza was not good. Tomatoes made the Molti Gusti soggy. Called. Katie took one order of wings off. Had to call again when I noticed no sausage on the Margherita. $43 down the drain. read more

First impressions are easy to make if you know what you are doing and this place failed. If Yelp were to give the option of rating this place with negative stars then I would have given this place a negative star. First off, my wife and I moved to a different part of the neighborhood and wanted deep dish pizza for dinnner. So I called this place and I was advised that they had a delivery time of an hour and a half (includes cook time and to your door) compared to other places that had a two hour wait time. Well about two hours later my deep dish pizza finally shows up, it was cold and, the dough wasn't cooked completely. I will never order from there again. read more

I like this place. Four stars basically means that the food is good and the service is good and consistent. It's hard for me to give five stars anywhere. Five stars means I'm blown away. Let's face it. Pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad...it's still pretty good. Not saying this pizza is bad. It's actually quite good. This is my go to pizza place. What I like more? That the owner Giusseppe actually cares enough to respond to a-hole comments on Yelp. He doesn't kiss everyone's ass. He admits if they messed up but also doesn't let people just slander his business. Wake up America. Small businesses like this are what keep America, America! read more

So I've been trying to cut down on carbs and we decided to look for a carb less Pizza with cauliflower crust. The only place we found was Amatos, and I have to say the cauliflower crust pizza was great. We were a little disappointed that it was not the 12 inch as they had advertised but really was a 10 inch pizza crust that they bring in from their supplier. Since it was so small we had to order two for $26. So needless to say that made it a little pricey for us and the grandkids. The menu was quite extensive although we have not had the chance the try any of their other food, we will go back. read more

Convenient little storefront in a shopping strip. Great place to grab a slice of pizza to go. The pizza is respectable and they usually have several kinds available. Minestone soup was watery and ordinary. Avoid the way-too-greasy garlic bread. Stick with the pizza. read more

I ordered a usual jumbo Shrimp dinner but when I arrived home I discovered they left out one of my sides. I called and they offered a five dollar credit on my next order. Great customer service and I am a repeat customer. read more

Ordered their pizza for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed. The pizza was really good and it was reasonably priced. They have a full menu, but haven't had the chance to try anything else out yet. read more

First-time customer. I tried a sausage slice to go. I thought it was just ok. It's nice that they have slices available but it definitely tasted reheated. It was an usually long time for them to grab my slice from the back, so reheating might explain the wait.. But no explanation was offered. I don't feel any urge to go back when there are lots of great pizza places. read more

I think this place is good if you are ordering a standard pizza (I.e., Sausage or Pizza). We went out on a limb and ordered their Buffalo Chicken Pizza. The first problem was the price - $20 for a medium! And then the pizza was not good. Very bland and disappointing considering the price. One positive, delivery was right on time. read more

Foid is good. Owner is nice. Store Manager needs training. Had a problem with him and owner called me begging me to try them again. I did today and when I called to check on my order I was told they declined the order. Really thanks for the lack of communication. Again!!! First issue was a mutual issue mostly on there part. Do not go here you will be disappointed in management. read more

I would like to add that they haven't bothered to contact me about my review either. So unprofessional.

Pretty good local pizza restaurant. When your meal requires a bit more preparation than the pizza chains provide. While I have not eaten in this establishment, there is a dining area for people to use. Big props that they finally added online ordering. read more

Not bad for thin crust. Pepperoni is underneath the cheese, which I find a little strange, but it's a Midwestern thing, I think? Square cut is also not my preference. Salad is blah; creamy garlic dressing had the consistency of mayonnaise = no thank you. Pizza had a good flavor, though and I enjoyed it. :) read more

Have only had the thin crust pizza on several occasions and the mozzy sticks once, but I can say for sure that the pizza is very good and consistent. Crispy thickish thin crust, real mozzarella cheese, the right amount of toppings. The mozzarella sticks were yummy too, but I'm not sure how anyone could screw those up. Not sure what the gripes are about here. Not a lot of choices for real Chicago style thin crust pizza in the area and I'm glad to have this one nearby. We usually pick up and it's ready in about 20 minutes, even on a Friday night. Can't complain about that! read more

Came in with my boyfriend to try out Amato's lunch pizza special and decided to eat our slices there. The one male employee (believe was the manager) was in the front of the shop with one of the male drivers having conversations not meant to be talked about in front of customers....the entire time we were there. He was using loads of profanity and yelling about random things on the TV. Kept talking smack talk to the driver and about working. We felt very uncomfortable the entire time we were there. Do not stay in and eat your pizza here. And the pizza was just okay... Super bizarre experience. read more

Ordered a thin crust sausage pizza, wings and fries. The sauce on the pizza was very "tasty" and the crust was thin and crisp on the edges. The wings were also very "meaty" and were tossed with the right amount of buffalor sauce. My only complaint was that the cheese would slide off the pizza when grabbing a slice, but I will definitely be coming back read more
