I was in the mood for a pizza slice so I stopped by here to check to see if they sold pizza by the slice. They DO NOT sell pizza by the slice but they do sell small individual pies. The server was kind and gave me his recommendation of which pie he would get. I think it was something that I wouldn't really like so I ended up getting something else. I felt bad after I went out of my way to ask but I appreciated his choice. I decided on getting the small pepperoni pie. The wait time was between 15 and 25 minutes so I decided to go for a quick drive and come back. There are seats if you want to dine in but I decided to eat it fresh at home since I'm not too far. The pizza was delicious. It didn't have a crazy cheese pull but the was good balance between the sauce and cheese. There was no excess oil when folding the pizza and the cheese didn't slide off so bonus points there. My biggest issue is price. $18 for a small pizza is kind of ridiculous. It's about the size of a Pizza Hut individual pie so that was a bit surprising for me. At the same time though, I guess you have to consider the area. I'll have to see if you get more value when you size up your pizza next time. If so, I would probably lean towards that route. Good pizza overall. read more

The pizza here is delicious. The Detroit is way better than square pie guys. If you call, they will do half and half and they do delivery. 5 stars. read more

My kids' go-to place for pasta. The pasta quite excellent and prices very reasonable. We usually just get takeout since their website very efficient but for our youngest, birthday wish was to dine-in and we had a big table, services was still fast and polite and everyone had a good time. So will recommend. read more

Just got the worst pizzas from here! burned on the bottom and sogift and cold! So disappointed! It used to be good, I don't know what happened to them but don't waste your money! read more

This place is a San Mateo staple, I've been coming here with my family for a long time and it never disappoints. They give bread made from their pizza dough which is always delicious. My family's favorite to get here is the linguine pesto pasta with clams- it's always tasty! Pizza here is always delicious and never have any issues. Servers here are nice. They have some great lunch specials. A great place to go and eat out or take for to go. Chill vibes and nothing fancy but it's definitely a great place to have dinner read more

Strictly for the pizza people! I'm not saying anything about the pasta or anything else they're cooking up. I ordered the Veneto that came with pancetta, royal grapes, goat cheese and a whole mess of baby arugula. Oh yeah I also ordered a side Ceasar salad that had a nice helping of anchovies that was definitely a plus. The pizza hit the spot and what I really enjoyed about this pie was the fact it didn't come with tomato sauce. So if you're one of those peeps that don't like that type of pizza then this isn't for you. Only for mugs like me. LoL. The service was great but slow and the atmosphere was pretty chill with a really eye pleasing set up for a pizza spot. And that's my take on this cool little eatery, Peace out peeps read more

I've been supporting Amici's restaurants throughout the Bay Area for almost 20 years now. Quality and quantity is really good except on days they promote specials-- don't bother ordering take out on those days because you will always get burned pizza (happened several times here and at redwood shores location) and less than their typical portion of other food. read more

Had the pleasure of trying this placed recommend by a friend. Food was good, staff was pleasant, and the environment was great.

The best customer service and great food! Comfortable family environment. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our large group. Our food was served with no problems such an enjoyable meal. read more

It has been a long time since I was last here at Amici's as it was night time and closing in 45 minutes. I called ahead for a pizza to go. Upon arrival with 20 minutes before closing although the dining area was empty, before I even got out of the car I have never seen so many people walk in then out of a place. These weren't delivery drivers they were regular people like me who called before closing. Very clean inside of course. The staff was very polite and even offered to carry my pie out to the car. I bought a large pie with two ingredients. Good pizzas are born here. read more

Bad service, expensive pizza and does not meet expectations, but the service is really bad.

Food was good, ordered garlic bread but that wasn't served until after the pizza? Service was kinda bad, potatoes on pizza was undercooked, garlic bread was ok, not really worth it read more

Just so you know Amicis used to be my favorite but this past year, not sure if it's a change of ownership or the chef, but this place has gone downhill. A group of us ordered pizza to have for dinner (took a picture of the second one) and the crust is soggy and not crispy, everyone agreed there's no enough sauce, and the service is lacking even though they're not busy. I definitely think their quality and their great NYC style crust has changed and this place barely got 3 stars from me this time. read more

I'm an Amicis regular and was excited to try the new Detroit style pizzas. I ordered 2 of them for pickup: a pepperoni and the SMOG. First, the quoted time was 15 minutes, they took 45 and were not even in the oven when I arrived. Second, both were far beyond well done, especially the SMOG which was totally burnt on the bottom and the top. I'm not talking char, I'm talking very, very burned. The pepperoni suffered most of its damage on the top. Cheese far beyond melted and lightly browned. Third, the pepperoni pizza looked like it had been thrown in the box. Cheese both under the pizza and off the sides in every direction onto the box. TLDR: VERY LATE, VERY BURNED, VERY SLOPPY. That's 65 bucks for 2 inedible pizza... I expect to hear from the owner/ manager through Yelp about refunding the money for these pizzas. A new product brought to market should be impeccable, not some prideless, burnt monstrosity. read more

Cannot blame Peter for trying g to compete with Tony, but the Detroit Pizza @ Amici's lags behind...this is a tough act to follow from Tony G.! No Doubt. Taste your pie, its too dense and therefore too moist. Not at all "yummy", sorry and very disappointed. The eggplant parm i had was enjoyable. The house sauce - Marinara is very watery and does not hold up too well with the meatballs. Overall - come on folks - you can do better! Suggest a fieldtrip for all chef's over to a SliceHouse nearby and see how its done. Or for the adventurous up to the Tony G. spot in North Beach. Thanks, Brian read more

I ordered a chicken caesar salad, iced tea, and a flame roasted lemon chicken wings. I thought the chicken caesar salad was okay, I was not really a big fan of the caesar dressing. The ice tea I ordered was alright, I was expecting to get a sweet ice tea but it was fine since I just added the sugar packet that they provided on the table. I really enjoyed the flame roasted lemon chicken wings, I feel like you can't really mess up chicken wings. I was somewhat content what I ordered and my company was going to be paying for it anyways hehe. I felt like the service was okay and I felt like the person who took our order seemed a bit annoyed since we were a pretty big group (there were 10 of us). They were really nice to give us a free dessert since most of us haven't dined here before. They gave us a tuxedo cake and new york cheesecake which I think my co-workers enjoyed the cheesecake the most. Overall, it was a decent dining experience. read more

Came here to try the pizza with grapes on it just to check it out and try it. I'm one of those people who doesn't mind pineapple on pizza so when I saw grapes I thought why not! Turns out it's not horrible but it's nothing special either so nobody is missing out. The other half of this pizza was pesto which I usually love but this time it didn't really hit hard for me. So two different flavors that were just ok and one of them should have been better than ok. Front of house were nice at least when I picked it up! Wish they had fried calamari here, would've ordered that too. read more

This is truly delicious New York style pizza. Great pepperoni. Nice crisp dough - no soggy texture here. Lasagna is true New York style. Made with real ricotta as they do in New York- No beechamel here. Try it you will like it read more

This place just continues to disappoint. Called them to inquire why my order hasn't arrived after almost an hour and the response was that it will be another 30 minutes and 1.5 hours is "Very Normal". No apologies offered. And the 20% tip is charged upfront for terrible service! Very disappointed, Pizza showed up almost two hours after was ordered and was cold and burnt. I called the store to complain and was told they'll give us a $20 store credit on $100 order. Totally unacceptable from start to finish. Done with Amicis San Mateo. read more

**COVID EDITION** My cousin and were famished after the gym. So for our post workout meal, we decided to hit up Amici's, since we were in the area. We were able to dine in the restaurant, since there was no outdoor only dining restriction in place. We both ordered Lagunitas IPAs for our drinks. As for my post workout meal, I went with a medium margherita pizza with Beyond Meat sausage added to it. Our pizzas did take a little longer than usual to make, due to the restaurant handling a lot of to go orders. Once we got our pizzas, they were hot and fresh out the wood fire oven. The cheese was nice and melty. The crust, thin and crispy. The Beyond sausage didn't disappoint and paired wit the pizza very well. Our server was very attentive and helpful. A great pizza for a post workout meal! read more

Plain and simple, you don't put chunks of raw tomatoes on a margaritas pizza. It ruins the pizza. Fortunately, my family is not Italian and does not have my standards. read more

This is my favorite pizza in the Bay Area. Well, I'm also a big fan of Arizmendi's. Which is interesting as they are very different kinds of pizza. Amici's comes closest to the NY style I grew up with back east. When I first moved to California I was frustrated that everything I tried that claimed to be NY style just didn't do it. My only complaints are that they don't deliver where I live (use to live near one) and they are a bit on the pricey side. But I rather pay more and get something this good. read more

Food is good but 45 minute delay to get food is not acceptable. We ordered our food at 8am for a 215 pickup, was not picked up until 3pm Also need better manner in terms of communication. read more

I can never just eat here once when I am in town, I have to eat here atleast twice. Ambiance is great, and customer service is usually the best you can get. I always have a ceasar salad with chicken, warm bread on the side and my favorite is ice tea with lemon. I am not sure what it is with their tea but I am addicted. I also just recently found out they have to go cups!!! Did you know that? I have been going here on and off for about 9 years and I just found out, there are other salads and food that is great, my favorite pasta is the ravioli's with cheese, they melt in your mouth. Check them out during the week, they always have specials daily (I over heard) some days you can get a discount off your orders, food is always so fresh and if you want more, need additions and or want accomodations for your meals, they are always happy to help with a wonderful smile. read more

Ordered delivery today for myself and my wife. The order was delivered within the ETA provided. However, instructions were not followed in preparation of the linguine pesto dish. I asked for no Parmesan Cheese, but it was still added onto the linguine. Receipt also has instructions printed in the "Special Requests." This happened the last time we ordered delivery and I just thought it was a one off. But now I'm getting a sense that the line cooks aren't paying attention. Please review this with the staff. read more

First off. The pizza delivered on DoorDash was not what I ordered. Came half baked which is what I ordered. But after following directions to cook the crust browned but the inside was like gelatine. Gooey and gross. Never again! read more

It's been at least 10 years since we've had Amici's. In honor of Pi Day and to take advantage of their Pi Day special, we ordered a couple of pizzas for dinner tonight. Today's special was buy one regular price pizza and get a second one of equal or lesser value for $3.14. You can't beat that price. We got a large Amici's combo and a large sausage and mushroom. We had forgotten that Amici's serves up a mean pizza. The crust is thin and slightly chewy. I don't normally eat the crust end, but I ate it all today. I noticed on their menu, they have Beyond Meat and non-dairy cheese. We'll definitely be back...maybe on a meatless Monday! read more

Amici's is very consistent and reliable. I like the thinner crust and the overall quality of ingredients is very good. It's regrettable that a large pizza, pick up yourself, with gratuity, now cost $50! No fault of Amicis per se. There are some cheaper pizzas but, as is mostly always true, you get what you pay for. read more

I have really liked this pizza restaurant in the past. They have great variety of pizzas. However if you order for delivery they usually come cold and taste like they've been sitting around awhile. Ordering for pickup is unpredictable. Sometimes they are so fresh and delicious. Other times they look and taste like leftovers. Looking for another establishment. read more

I ordered a thin curst pizza expecting a crispy thin crust instead got a chewy doughy mess with a lot o grease. Save your time and money. If I could rate this a ZERO I would. read more

I'm trying to cut down on dairy, so it's great that Amici's offers vegan cheese on their pizzas! I ordered a margherita pizza with vegan cheese, and it was tasty. Their margherita is the rare one that has the tomatoes cut into little pieces rather than served in big slices. We also ordered a non-vegan cheese pizza - the Amici's combo with pepperoni, bacon, black olives, and mushrooms. This one was good, too! They use high-quality ingredients, and their sauce is zesty. My only complaint about Amici's is that the crust borders on overly crispy, almost like a cracker. I like there to be a little bit more chewiness / breadiness in my pizza crust. Theirs shatters upon contact. read more

This is the best Italian food I ever had, short of going to an Italian section of New York, Boston, and Syracuse. Every dish is superb. You will never be disappointed, no matter what you order.

I've been a customer of Amici's for a few years. Recently the food has taken a downward spiral. Their chicken Caesar salad now comes with what looks like boiled chicken instead of grilled. The pizzas have been underdone and not appetizing. For the price I would like decent food. I will not be returning. read more
