Something happened to their pizza over the past couple of years. When we first tried this place, we LOVED it. But each subsequent visit since that first one, the quality and taste gradually got worse. We usually just get a regular pepperoni pizza and it was fantastic. This time around, it fell totally flat. There wasn't even enough cheese to cover the crust. If I could see the crust through the cheese layer, there's something fundamentally wrong. We also ordered the buffalo wings - big mistake. As I was waiting for my order, I see them put a frozen pan of already prepared wings in the pizza oven. The wings we're piping hot but it was a ball of mush - the texture was so gross we couldn't finish it. We ended up throwing it out and I HATE to waste food. Hate to say that that was my last visit. I'd rather have any pizza chain over this place anyway. They get two stars because they had friendly service and a clean restaurant. read more

Pizza Amore is our favorite pizza joint in Escondido. The toppings always taste so fresh. They also make great gluten free crust which is hard to find! read more

Pizza Amore is your go-to place when you need a ton of pizza for a party. But like Little Caesars, expectations are lowered when it comes to quality. I was able to sample several of their huge pies but the one that stood out most was the Veggie (Tomatoes, Fresh Garlic, Black Olives, Red Onions, Spinach, Cheese, and Green Peppers). This was noteworthy and recommended if you have some guests that don't eat meat.. - Look for coupons. read more

Not sure what to say here but my husband and I ordered two different pizzas yesterday and I have had food poisoning since! Not happy because I've been in bed sick to my stomach since yesterday, missed work and now I'm behind on everything and still can't function. My husband was fine but like I said we ate two different dishes plus that was the only thing I ate all day and have been horribly sick since! read more

Old Fashion straightforward pizza spot.... The Giant square cut is the way to go......feed a couple families or the team...

This pizza place has been in Escondido since we moved here. However, we never visited before until they moved over to Felicita Ave. The pizza is really tasty, the wings are phenomenal! But overall the customer service from the owner really invites to come back. Although, I no longer live in Escondido, I'll be back to get more of that delicious pizza read more

We've been buying pizza here for years! Best pizza around and the owner is very friendly. Great deals posted in window display. Please never close! read more

Owner is very nice, service was quick. Good spot for a quick pizza by the slice or getting a giant pizza to feed a larger group. Food was ok. The mozzarella on my pizza was not fully melted and you can clearly see the shredded cheese separating. Barley any pepperonis but I get it, cost is high. read more

I yelped pizza as we left the San Diego Zoo Safari, and this spot came up. I read the reviews, and was sold. It's a small shop, clean and organized. The owners were very sweet.

Let me start off by saying that I give the pizza a 3 star rating, but I'm giving it an extra star b/c at $3.11 for a giant pepperoni pizza slice and a can of soda, that bargain is hard to top. With that being said, the pizza tasted average, nothing to get your pants wet about, but nonetheless, I would come back here again undoubtedly if I feel like being a cheap ass and having a $3 meal. Ah yes, for those wondering whether this is authentic New York style pizza, I'd rather keep my two cents out of this b/c I've never been to NYC and had real NY pizza, hence, I would be giving you an inaccurate opinion to how close it comes to the real deal. Pizza slice description: 14 to 16 inch long slice, pretty wide, not skinny at all, greasy as fuck, a few pepperoni slices, on a thin crunchy crust. Seemed like the dough had a lot of garlic because the taste stayed in my mouth for a while. You can look at the pic I uploaded(: P.S. I wish they were open late, this pizza would def hit the spot after a night of crazy, drunk (possibly stoned) fun xD read more

Today the son and I stopped and order the 2 slices of pizza with a drink deal. the gentleman behind the counter who I believe is the owner was friendly and helpful. Pizza slices were tasty and generous. I have a few suggestions, It's my humble suggestion only; put some music on to make the place look a little lively. it was so quiet, no one else but us. I assume it's Wednesday early afternoon, but my son made a comment about being eerily quiet. I would also put one or two tables and chairs outside so patrons could sit and wait for their order or even eat outside. overall a good place. I would go back and recommend. read more

So just tried this place out. Get home, grab a couple slices, sit down and try it. First piece was really good, to be honest. However, I go to pick up the second slice and look down and there are a couple NASTY HUMAN hairs on my pizza. Like how does this even happen right now? Going through a pandemic and you can't even practice proper food handling safety and sanitation rules? NEVER will I eat at this gross and dirty establishment again. Update: Called in and the woman who spoke to me was the absolute rudest in the world. Her response to me was "well being the pizza in and we will make another one." Ok so you think I'm lying about my dinner being ruined? I have never experienced such poor customer service in my life. How you guys are still in business blows my mind. My advice: lose the festively plump lady and old man.... get some hairnets and follow proper food handling guidelines. Because you are clearly not. read more

Great Pizza. New York style all the way. The Giant pizza is great for kids, parties, special events... The owners are great people. I have been ordering pizzas from Amore for years.

Stromboli was not what I was expecting. Barely any meat didn't taste like NY at all. Pizza is pretty good but nothing fantastic. Salad was weak they serve it with salad packets for dressing. Can't stand that. I can appreciate places that can make salad dressing it's not that difficult. Just lazy and makes big difference. Overall spent $69.00 for X large pizza individual salad and Stromboli that had barley any meat. Probably won't come back... read more

The slices are huge. Great quality food. My problem eating slices or pizza in general is they usually have so much grease it tears my stomach up. This one was perfect. Super cute little shop and the guy in there was very nice. I ordered two slices for my son and I but I wish I would've known how big they are. I probably could've got away with ordering one and cutting it in half read more

Yummy food at very reasonable prices! Quick and courteous service! And i especially love the cute couple running the business!!

We were going to order from another place tonight but they were closed so I went looking for another Italian place and found Pizza Amore. I was craving spaghetti. Anyway, I didn't immediately notice an online ordering option so I called and a nice man picked up immediately and took my order no fuss: spaghetti marinara, cheese calzone with pepperoni and chicken parmigiana. I ordered the "small" calzone because it was 12" and that seemed large enough and it sure was large! Our food was ready in 20 minutes at 5pm on a Sunday!! We all loved our food and have decided it's our new favorite place. read more

Will go out of my way just to get their pizza! Amazing every single time. Always feel welcome whenever I go in there.

Best pizza, phenomenal service. This is my family's go to pizza place! Anytime I'm in the area I'll swing by this place and grab a pie.
