I was so excited to try this place, but sadly the 3 hour wait was not worth the hype. Don't get me wrong the Shirley temple was really good! And I liked the garlic knots. The pizza was okay it wasn't bad but wasn't that great either. We did try the pepperoni, the cheese and also cheese with the vodka sauce. I do love a NY pizza but sadly for me it just wasn't worth the hype. The service was fantastic and friendly. The restaurant is small and quaint. read more

Pizza is delicious. Great New York style pizza. The wings are delicious as well. Drove all the way from Laveen to try it and it was worth the drive. Would definitely recommend and I will be back. The service was very good and fast and they kept the drinks nice and full. read more

Expect to wait long! We didn't mind the wait at all and knew the wait was going to be a while. I will say the vodka pasta was my favorite thing there, I felt like the pizza was burnt and the garlic knots were over cooked where it was hard to chew. Glad we got the chance to check this place out from TikTok! read more

Came to Amici pizza after seeing it go viral on TikTok and it was honestly pretty good. Great variety on the menu with good prices! The garlic knots were a bit too oily in my opinion making the bread a little soggy but adding the mozzarella with it was such a good idea. The vodka pasta was super delicious. The Caesar salad pizza was my absolute favorite. The Italian ice is so yummy and is a perfect dessert. Be prepared for longer wait times but we got lucky and were sat at the bar immediately. Service is great and attentive. Support small businesses and give them a try! read more

I recently had dinner here with my family and wow was this place super busy busy busy! We waited 45 minutes for a table since the inside is not that big and because there were many other parties waiting for a table as well. We were helped right as we were seated and the server was so friendly. She was super busy but yet checked up on us several times. We ordered several different dishes and they were all pretty tasty. We had wings, garlic knots, salad, mozzarella sticks, a vodka pasta, and a supreme pizza. The pizza wasn't our fave but everything else was good. We had a good time and will come back soon in the future! read more

I didn't know there was TikTok hype over this place but it was nothing special. I ordered a lasagna that came with a salad(not pictured) and it was so greasy and oily. They were already putting chairs up 30 mins before closing and I got mine boxed to go. I was outside the door for 1-2mins and realized I didn't have my box to go and went back and asked and they said they already threw it away..?!! read more

Amazing pizza and service. I am never disappointed when i come here either for a meal or just a quick snack and drink.

Was so excited to try this place after all the social media hype, but wasn't too impressed. Started with a Shirley temple and mozzarella sticks, of course, and both were great. Next up was the wings that were just average and they forgot the bleu cheese dressing. My husband did love the vodka pasta, but I disliked the Caesar salad pizza. It honestly lacked flavor and pizza felt like it was sitting awhile. Lastly, we ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake and it was just a complete sugar bomb. Service was ok, but could tell they were very busy! We were quoted over an hour and our table was ready in 25min so that was a bit confusing. Tables are quite close together, but loved reading some of the memorabilia on the walls. Not sure I'd be back due to wait time and average food, but I hear they are opening a to go option in QC so might give that a shot! read more

For starters, if I could I would give Amici's 6 stars! We were on vacation in Sedona and before we headed back home we absolutely needed to stop here and I am glad we did! I am actually writing this review as we take the 7+ hour drive home. We arrived at Amici's at about 10:44 a.m. and immediately got into the line that had already formed. There was roughly already 20+ people in line at this time. The doors were promptly opened at 11 a.m. and they immediately started seating people. We were seated in no more than 10 mins and had our drink order taken right away. We ordered quite a few items and were shocked at their amazing specials they offered! To keep this review as short as I can we've ranked the items we ordered below... Fries 10/10 Mozzarella sticks 9/10 Garlic knots 9/10 Wings (honey hot) 9/10 Cheese slice 100/10!!!!!! Buffalo chicken slice 8/10 Cesar salad slice 8/10 Shirley temple 9/10 I also ordered two large pizzas to go for my family back in California, didn't try the pepperoni pizza but it looks delicious! Service was top notch, we had the pleasure of being helped by Kateri and Cole! Everyone here seems so friendly and it seems to be a very family oriented establishment. I hope Amici's continues on with their success and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be back! read more

This place is worth the hype! I went with my friend a few months ago, we waited before they opened on a weekday. It is NO JOKE. The line got long QUICK! Luckily we were one of the first few that were in and seated. It is such a cute place, you can feel the love when you walk in the door. The owner was SO sweet. We order the Caesar salad pizza, vodka pasta, wings, mozzarella sticks, Shirley temples, and shaved ice and cannoli. It was all delicious! I think about the food frequently and cannot wait to go back! read more

Drove all the way from California and let me tell you, 10/10. Food was delicious and service was amazing. Hot honey wings were to die for and that vodka pasta was so good. I wish we had one closer so I can go more often but no worries. I also got a super cute shirt courtesy of one of the workers :) Thank you guys so much it was amazing. read more

TikTok made me do it! Visiting AZ from San Diego and I had to try this spot because of the videos. Not only is the food fantastic but the staff offers great service! DYLAN was our server and he was outstanding! Hustling and making sure we were well taken care of. I'll be dining in every time I am in AZ! Recommend the buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, pepperoni pizza, and chicken parmigiana! Their vodka sauce is delicious as well, I prefer angel hair pasta but they have options! don't forget the Shirley temple read more

Amici Pizza - Forgot to picture the pasta dishes because we dove right in! The wings were extra saucy which we love! - Pizza Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The smell as soon as you walk just makes your stomach grumble with hunger, so delicious and the aesthetic of this restaurant just takes you to New York but this place is actually clean lol. The service here by everyone is just phenomenal, the nicest people you'll ever meet, very attentive, they even gave my son his own tray with pizza dough so he could be entertained 10/10. The food was just delicious awesome portions for very good pricing definitely satisfied the hunger you come with, Thank you Amici! read more

I was really looking forward to getting my first meal from Amici pizza. I saw the review from David Portnoy. The pizza dough wasn't fully cooked. I ordered two separate orders of sausage and meatballs, and they added the hot food and three cold desserts in the same bag. The bag barely fit all the food and the desserts got trashed and were overheated. I ordered my food through DoorDash and received it within one hour of the original order time. I called the restaurant and talk to the manager. She gave me a credit so I'm going to give it another shot although my first experience was terrible. read more

The pizza was decent and the service was good. I have had better New York pizza. The crust could be thinner so it's more New York style. Again the pizza is good not great just not worth the 45 minute dine in wait. If the line is shorter then it would be more worth it. read more

Service was a little slow, but it was pretty busy so understandable. They made up for it by giving us tiramisu on the house, which was super nice! The food was really good and not too pricey, definitely worth it. read more

My favorite pizza spot! I've been coming here for years and it is always good. The Caesar salad pizza is my favorite. During lunch you can get the slices which is amazing because it is very affordable. The restaurant is very clean and the service is amazing. I wish I knew the name of my server I always get but she is really great! Overall amazing restaurant! read more

This was a let down for me. I saw so much hype on social media and was excited to try. We got there 45 minutes before opening and waited a while. Ut was not worth the long wait in my opinion. I tried the Caesar salad pizza and the margarita pizza. The Caesar salad pizza was okay and the margarita pizza was not my favorite. The Shirley temples and mozzarella sticks were really good. Overall, it was just okay food wise. Very nice staff though! read more

Great spot, close to home, yummy pizza. Garlic knots, pepperoni pizza, salad. Shirley temples

No pizza by the slice after 3 PM. That really sucks cause that was the whole point of going was to try out all their different pizzas but I guess not. So we ended up with a half-and-half, pizza, Bianco and vodka and some mozzarella sticks and a Shirley Temple. The place was crowded. There was a short wait. The servers customer service was. The pizza was OK like other reviewers it's not the best and it's not the worst and it's nothing to write home about the Shirley Temple is good but all Shirley Temple's are good. It might have a little extra Grenadine. The ambience is similar to a step above fast food. read more

Amici Pizza - Mozzarella Sticks - Pizza Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

If you've seen Amici Pizza blowing up on TikTok and wondered if it's worth the hype--it is. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-tier. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. You can tell they genuinely care about the food they're serving and the experience they're creating. We started with a Cherry Temple, which was super refreshing--tasted like a fun twist on cherry Sprite. For appetizers, we ordered the mozzarella sticks (perfectly seasoned with a dreamy cheese pull) and the fried zucchini, which ended up being my personal favorite--crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. We also tried their vodka pasta and made it spicy. While it wasn't super spicy, it did have a little kick and was deliciously creamy. The real showstopper, though, was the pizza. You're able to get up to 3-4 different flavors on one pie, which is genius if you're indecisive like me. We tried the vodka pie, pepperoni, and the Baciagaloop, and every single slice was incredible. The best part? We got all of that for just $65. Insane value for the quality and experience. Highly recommend if you're in the area--or even if you're not. It's worth the trip. read more

Amici's pizza, is it a bad slice? No, is it a great slice? Also no. Came here with my partner & we split the fried ravioli and got two slices of cheese pizza. We both came to the same conclusion immediately; needed some salt. Service was nice, all the staff are very sweet and overall the ambiance is cozy for a family type vibe but that's kind of where it starts and ends for me. In terms of the pizza I think what's holding amici's back from being great is that they're trying too hard to be general with their sauce flavor profile, it needs a slight zing to it and they're a little scared of driving some people away. Sauce to cheese ratio is good and the dough is yummy and has a slight crunch but stays airy. Overall it's good, just not great. read more

Eh, I like it. I think the pizza is good but I don't know if I'd write home about it. It was nice for lunch but I think I've had more memorable slices. I also thought the fried ravioli was just alright, I'd say I probably wouldn't spend $10 on it because they were a little small. Overall I would say the most exceptional thing about Amici is the staff and how kind they are even though the place is very busy. The ambiance was alright too but nothing stood out. read more

I was excited to try Amici after seeing it all over TikTok, but was sadly disappointed. It's not bad by any means - just very mid. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, garlic knots and a pepperoni/jalapeño pizza. The mozzarella sticks were nothing special and not as crispy as I'd like. The marinara was good though! The garlic knots were too doughy and lacked salt. Pizza was very meh. It was served lukewarm, which was a bummer and I wasn't wowed by any aspect of it. For the wait and lackluster food, I think there are far better options in AZ. The Shirley Temple was so good though and the service was on top of it. read more

Amici Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

8.5/10 the only reason it's not a 10 is because my service wasn't too good. I had to keep asking my waiter for water that I never received and boxes it was hard to get their attention. BUT the food was really good the vodka pasta is BOMB the pizza is pretty good, the mozzarella sticks are great! The cheese pull is solid ! And the cannolis were good but not really for me but I definitely recommend you try them. The Shirley temples were pretty good but after walking around in the hot AZ sun some water would've been nice too. We didn't wait too long for a table of two we waited maybe 40 mins and there was a couple of big parties ahead of us. I'll def go back and try it again when I'm back in the area from Tucson. read more

Amici's has some delicious New York style pizzas! My friends and I came by on a Wednesday night so there wasn't much of a wait despite this place blowing up on social media lately! The service was relatively quick and all of the staff were nice and attentive. We ordered a few appetizers and a large pizza which came out to be reasonably priced. Garlic knots (3/5): I wish we got the cheese on top but the pesto was delicious Mozzarella sticks (4/5): can't go wrong with some good ol mozzarella sticks! Decent cheese pull too which is always appreciated Wings (5/5): I loved the wings! They were sauced perfectly and was delicious with the ranch Vodka pie (5/5): best part of the pizza was the crust! The crust on the pizzas here were PERFECT, some of the best I've ever had. I just wish there was a little more sauce but you can always ask for marina on the side. Also don't forget to grab a Shirley temple to go with your food! Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Amici's and will definitely be back to try some more of their pizzas and pastas read more

Pizza is very mid. Pepperonis all fell right off when I took my first bite lol. I ordered to go and the service was not great. Very rude vibes. Won't be coming here again if I'm being honest read more

We are new to AZ, we drove 35 min cause people had recommended the pizza. We ordered mozzarella sticks and they were good as they were seasoned. Pizza was delicious. Service was blah, we had mentioned we were going to order dessert as soon as we ordered, the server took awhile to ask us as we had been done but brought a dessert menu then ignored us for a good amount of time so we ended up skipping dessert and asking for the check. Won't come back. Cute place though. read more

On my first visit to Arizona last week, my boyfriend and I visited Amici and if I could rate it 10000/10, I would! Coming from NYC, we had high hopes and all were met and exceeded! The staff were incredible and super friendly, and our waiter Mike was so kind and generous!! read more

Viral pizza?!?! You have got to be kidding me. If you are one of the people that are waiting 2 hours for this pizza, you seriously need to reevaluate your life decisions. Knowing about the hype, we decided to try Amici again after several years of not being a patron. Expecting an amazing pizza, that was simply not the experience. We ordered a large pepperoni and open the box to find maybe 18 little cupped pepperoni spread out on this pizza. Sorry thing looked like it came from Peter Piper. And then we can talk about the cheese and the crust; it was a floppy, playdoughy, gross experience that carried it's presence into the next morning. Newsflash, a pizza crust is supposed to be crisp, not spongy. Anybody that seriously wants to try what should be a viral slice of pizza, needs to head over to Slices in Tempe and get a real pizza fix. read more

I hate this place. We came because of tiktok and that will be last time I trust tiktok. As you can see in the pictures the cheese and everything in the calzone was cold. Cheese didn't even melt. Also had no flavor whatsoever so ever. The bread/crust was good though. The pizza, forgot the name of it but it was a weird name, had uncooked jalapeno and onion on it. Was also cold when it came to the table. The best thing we ate here was the mozzarella sticks and garlic knots. Mozzarella sticks were good but not mind blowing. Same for the garlic knots. I'd recommend the mozzarella sticks over the garlic knots. Don't recommend. read more

Over-hyped and over-priced. I paid $38.45 for a 14" Cheese pizza and 14" Pepperoni pizza, and they hardly put any sauce on either of them. I checked online to see what their other pizzas look like, and turns out light sauce seems to be how they serve their pies. Very underwhelming and disappointing. I have no idea how this place is such a sensation. This pizzeria was a lot better when it was Buono's. I should've just gone to La Famiglia across the street. you get what you pay for there, and they have way better pizza. read more

Amici, which means "Friends" is so inviting! Great name & great pizza! Formerly Bruno's & now managed by Kateri Cusumano and Vinny Pante. Younger business owners who are doing things up right. Super impressive! My son has been here several times & swears it's the best pizza joint in AZ. Took me here for a Mom & Son meal & I'd have to agree thus far the best pie I've tasted in Arizona. Can dine in or carry out. Both were busy when we were there & we chose to dine in. Clean dining room with plenty of seating & the decor is so traditionally NY! Started with their house salad which is romaine lettuce, carrots, onion, sliced cucumber, black olives & fresh cut tomatoes. It was a generous size, crisp & delicious. Ordered the large Margherita Pie with homemade marinara sauce, house made mozzarella, fresh basil & added pepperoni. Arrived piping hot! Authentic NY style- hand tossed & house spun with a slight touch of fermented flavor to the crust which made it absolutely top notch! Mozzarella was melted to perfection! The pie texture had a slight crunch to it, stood up to all the delicious toppings & the savoriness of all those ingredients combined was that "Maillard Reaction" that pizza is so sought after for! Accompanied that outstanding pizza with a delicious Canyon Road white zin (2020) that was by far my favorite wine yet! Definitely heading back soon! Seek to support these types of business. Especially knowing young entrepreneurs are at the helm. So much more to explore on their super menu. From wonderful starters, pizza, pasta, calzones, sandwiches & an intriguing dessert board. They run daily special as well (see indoor pic) & have a nice lunch offering too! Encourage you to check this place out, if you haven't already. You'll be amazed at how impactful it truly is. read more
