I love a good New York-style pizza, so when I came across this spot, my husband and I had to give it a try--and wow, we were honestly impressed. I really like that they offer personal pizzas where you can customize your own toppings. It makes it super fun and perfect when you're craving something specific. The only thing I'd say is I wish they added a little more spinach to mine, but overall it was still super cheesy and delicious. The service was great too--friendly staff and a quick, easy ordering process. You can order online or by phone, and our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes, which is always a plus. It's a smaller spot with only outdoor seating, so it's not really a dine-in kind of place, but perfect for grabbing something quick. Definitely see this becoming my go-to for personal pizzas. I'll 100% be back! read more

The only reason I am giving them a 2 star instead of a 1 star is because the lasagna was decent...ordered the ma ma ma Mia , lasagna and and antipasto salad...salad was pretty much a garden salad with little to no toppings, ma ma Mia was dryer then dry pasta and the garlic bread was definitely yesterday bread that had been reheated...very chewy and non edible. Given the fact they charge $14. for a horrible house salad ...then pawn it off as an antipasto is shameful. read more

Pretty good pizza! Better than dominos and all the other dumb chains. My work orders from this place sometimes and it always hits the spot. Love that it's more on the thin crust side and the slices are large. I wouldn't have ever known about this place if my work didn't order from here. Worth a try! read more

I got an order of the pesto pasta. It was pretty good and came with two pieces of garlic bread on the side. I thought that the portion was large; I shared it with my sister and it was enough for us both. The service was good as well. The area inside is nice and cozy, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. read more

Love this place!! Been ordering delivery from here for a while. Anytime I need extra cheese or chilli flakes they give it to me. The food is delicious. The Hawaiian pizza is the best one and their salads are fresh along with the ranch dressing. The spaghetti with the marinara is my favorite. Simple, but delicious!! Will be ordering from this place for a long time!!! Love you guys!! :) read more

Very good! Nothing crazy but overall solid food. They offer personal pizzas with is great! Good eats but not the best of the best.

Here is a more polished and natural version of your review: They have a great variety of food, and everything tastes very good. The service is friendly and efficient. The waiting area is a bit small, but the ambiance is nice and comfortable. You can relax while waiting for your food to be ready for pickup. read more

Always a solid and reliable choice. Crust is the perfect thickness. So excited that they now offer Halal beef pepperoni as a topping!

Our go to pizza place. 2nd place was pizza shack in CM. Typical orders for take out are a large pie and the eggplant parm. Not wow, but good read more

Good food, quick service, reasonable prices. Have not had a bad meal here in 20 years. They keep their food fresh and you know what you get. Kids and grandkids love their food. read more

The gods is delicious and the staff is always so friendly. I highly recommend Ameci if you're in the area.

Every time we celebrate a birthday at the office, we order Ameci pizzas. The office favorite is eggplant pizza. After work, I like to pick up Eggplant Parmesan and spaghetti for dinner. The sauce is yummy and the noodles al dente! read more

Usually just stop in for a pizza on the way home from work but we craved something different. Used delivery and right on time; piping hot. Lasagna, Spaghetti w/meat sauce, Meatballs, Caesar salad and garlic bread. Plenty of sauce, the pastas didn't disappoint (lots of gooey cheese and goodness), large (!) salad and plenty of garlic bread (4 large pieces per order). It's 10/2022 and inflation is real so, yes, it will cost a little more if you haven't been here in awhile. They haven't sacrificed quality and I'm glad they've managed to keep this storefront open! read more

Our family has been ordering from Ameci for years, and it never disappoints. The pizza is always just right--not too thick or doughy--and the garlic bread is incredible! The staff is quick and friendly, and it's a great value for the amount of food you get. We often order it when we have guests, and it's always a hit. Love that they have multiple locations too, which makes it easy to enjoy whenever we want. Definitely recommend, and make sure to get the garlic cheese bread!! read more

Solid pizza at a fair price. Not the best pizza but I can't complain. Staff were nice too.

Worst pizza I have ever had Put it right in the trash! I will never order from them Again! Pizza was gritty very Little sauce no flavor! Crust is hard old! read more

Honestly I never bitch about anything but they are actual liars The medium and the large are the same size save money get the medium Thanks for the memories sneaky sneaky we go to Rays from now on read more

I work in Newport Beach, and I didn't think I'd have time to grab a pizza at Blaze Pizza across the street at Fashion Island, but my boss was kind enough to have us do Pizza Day today, and I gotta say: I actually LOVE Ameci's. I took a slice of both the Meat Lover's and Pepperoni/Jalapeno, and both of them tasted GREAT. The crust was heated perfectly, and the toppings did not taste cold. The meats on both slices did not taste as salty like the Meat Lover's from Papa John's; but the Meat Lover's I got from Blaze was pretty close to what I had from Ameci's. I would definitely pick up a pizza from Ameci's again, but a little bit closer to home... Hopefully. 4.5 out of 5. read more

This is that restaurant where you get what you are expecting. When you walk in, it gives that classic fast food vibe where you pop in for some pizza or pasta to take home when you are too tired to cook at home. The first time I visited, I got the Baked Rigatoni with a Caesar salad for $10.76 and the second time, I just ordered 2 custom pizza (not pictured) which was approximately $30 total. The Caesar salad was very filling itself! There were plenty of toppings which I appreciated! The Baked Rigatoni was decent as well. The sauce tasted like your classic bottled pasta sauce and the pasta itself was a little overdone. It breaks apart so easily when you put a fork through it. There was also plenty of cheese on the pasta dish. I did like that the salad was overall very refreshing and the pasta was steaming hot when I picked up my order. The pizza was a similar experience. It was just your average fast food pizza, similar to Domino's and Pizza Hut. There were plenty of toppings once again so no complaints there. Ameci's is like an Italian chipotle! Would I go back? Only if I was really busy/hungry or just bored of the normal fast food restaurants. read more

All the food was very tasty and good size portions. Pizza and pasta excellent. Very limited seating - only on the patio.

A little girl's birthday party turned completely sour when the pizza didn't arrived on time. The pizza was ordered in advance- and when the pizza should have been delivered- the staff stated that they didn't have a delivery person and it would be late. Over 30 + minutes later, it arrived- the delivery person started that they had to go to Newport first and that's why it took so long. read more

It doesn't seem like the owner reads these reviews, but I'll leave this anyway. I've been a customer of this Ameci Pizza for over 20 years. Today is my last time giving a dime to this restaurant. Like many pizza places, they are trying to force their customers to order online, especially through 3rd party company Slice. Amecis has always had coupons. Years ago, it was actual physical coupons that came in the mail, and these days it's on their website. They have always allowed you to call in and place an order and use the coupon, even since they've gone digital. Until now. The worker refused to give me the offer and told me it was the owner's decision. Rudely, I might add. Well guess what? Their website does not list all the toppings available, nor do they let you choose a sauce (or no sauce). So they want to push me to order on their inferior website if I want to get the deal, but I can't order the pizza the way I always have. Sorry, Mr. Owner, but you've lost a 20+ year customer over this inane decision. What a shame. read more

I have never had a bad experience here and I've eaten here many times! Their pizzas are delicious as is their chicken fettuccine Alfredo! Honestly the chicken fettuccine Alfredo is the best I've ever had and I've tried nearly every chicken fettuccini Alfredo around! The food is so fresh! The service is always kind and helpful! Honestly, you can't go wrong here! read more

This was my first time ordering take out pasta from Ameci and the service was fast and cordial. It was dinner time so it was a bit busy but I was able to order and pick up my food in about 15 minutes. In regards to location and parking, Ameci is located in a busy plaza but there is a lot of available parking. In the take out sub section of the restaurant, there is a separate cashier and some seating so you can wait for your food after you order. I ordered the chicken pesto pasta and it satisfied my pasta craving. The portion size is big, I was able to eat dinner and have some leftover for lunch the next day. My favorite part of the pasta was the sliced chicken and the bread! Overall, service is fast and food is good if you need quick eats. read more

I just moved to the area and since this place is 5 minutes from me, I ordered a large pizza for $23.19 plus $4.50 for delivery. With tax it was $29.91 for a large garlic and pepperoni pizza. I was given an estimate of 45-75 minutes. I expected a hot piping pizza within the hour. I was wrong. Over 90 minutes later, the guy showed up. He handed me a barely warm pizza, the quality of which was less than a Trader Joe's that cost 1/3 the price and would have been ready in 1/3 the time had I heated it up in my own oven, which I needed to do anyway since the pizza was, like I said, barely warm. With tax and delivery, I ended up paying $29.91 for a lukewarm pizza that took over 1 1/2 hours to deliver. Because I am a business owner, I figured the owner would like to hear about my less-than-optimal experience. So I called. I left a message asking the owner to call me back with regard to a complaint. Unfortunately, 24 hours later, NO RESPONSE! So all I can deduce from this experience is that there are better pizza places out there, including (yes) Domino's, which serves a much better pizza at a much better price. read more

Food and service is always great. I usually get the meatball spaghetti, deluxe pizza, and recently tried the fettuccine Alfredo. All three of these items are delicious, especially the deluxe pizza. I get the large size and it easily feeds 4 with some pasta on the side (if we get no pasta I'd otherwise get the size after large). read more

This place has the best crust. It's buttery and crunchy at the same time! This pizza was simply the perfect pizza and they deserve a great review! We always love grabbing carry out from here. Staff is polite and helpful. Great little spot for New York style pies! read more

Pizza is good here, but I consistently have issues picking up pies: order isn't ready anywhere close to the time estimated, items missing, unfriendly/unhelpful staff. A shame because they probably have lost my business after enough headaches. read more

Decent 'za but this is the 3rd time (charm) I've ordered online, paid, and they literally didn't make the order. I show up when the app says it's ready and have to wait an extra 20 mins while they literally make it in front of me. Over this place. They don't know how to take an order. Love paying full price plus a bunch of silly fees to have my order not took. read more

I have always loved Amecis. They have great lunch specials! I ordered online yesterday, for pickup. I noted on each item (which was excessive) that I was going to be eating in the restaurant, but placing my order early to save time. I probably only needed to state that once, but a lot of places dont always pay attention to notes. This place definitely did! I ordered the Baked Rigatoni lunch special, that came with a salad, garlic bread, and a drink for $9. AMAZING deal. I also ordered the Baked Manicotti, that was not part of the lunch specials, so it came solo for $9. I threw in an order of the garlic cheese balls too. There were four, and a side of marinara... and they were SO good! When I walked in I stated I placed an order online, and the gal knew my order, and served us at a table. She was super friendly and the entire experience was perfect. Everything was ready right on time. I will definitely be back here and order online again, it was flawless. read more

This review is for to go phone order only. I love this place as they are super fast, portions are big, and its affordable in 2023 for the size you get!! The Mama Mia pasta is my go to (sun dried tomato, artichoke, chicken with penne in a tomato cream sauce-TASTY!) and their pizzas pretty good to. They are really fast (like 10 mins or less usually) if you call ahead so it's a good option if you don't want to cook and grab something fast if you're bordering on hangry. Again portions are huge so I always have leftovers. read more

So I ordered from this restaurant for the first time on DoorDash and the chicken fettuccine is absolutely delicious. Great portion it's so so good delicious garlic bread. I definitely recommend to anyone in everyone especially if you love chicken fettuccine and it wasn't that expensive on DoorDash it was only $16 total which is pretty decent for DoorDash. Lol. read more

I was not expecting much from this place, but wow, their pizza is delicious! The aroma when you first get it is bombbbb and the flavor is out of this world. I tried their Margherita and White Knight pizzas -- both very garlic-y and full of flavor. It's not the cheapest if you're gonna compare it to fast-food-like pizza (Domino's or Pizza Hut). But it's still only about $12.99 for a medium pizza. Ingredients seem really fresh and it tastes amazing. Definitely worth trying out if you have a pizza craving! read more

I can't speak to the pizza but everything we ordered was not good. The Chicken Pesto Rigatoni and Eggplant Parmesan sandwich were both very salty. The garlic bread was chewy and did not have much flavor. The meatball sandwich was ok. read more

I've been dining at Ameci locations for over 20 years. Absolutely love the pizza. As a former New Yorker...it's hard to find great pizza on the West Coast. Ameci fortunately is one of the few places that has great pizza on the West Coast. Today I went in for lunch. The staff was very busy passing out catering orders (as expected on Halloween). Cody, Gabriel, & Hassan made it a point to make sure they got my order in and got me my food as soon as possible. As always - delicious! There isn't any room for dining in, but the patio has chairs and tables which are perfect for a beautiful day in Irvine. As always - very satisfied as a customer and I will be returning very soon. Keep up the great work! read more

I love Ameci pizza. This time it was the worst pizza I have ever even tried to eat. Threw away an entire pizza minus 1 piece. All it was was burnt crumbles of what they said was meet. A very few pieces of ham and pepperoni. It was horrible!! read more
