We are camping at Gorges State Park and the camp host recommended this pizza place. We ordered take out pizza. Hubby got the meat lovers and I got the margarita pizza. Unfortunately, my margarita pizza didn't have any basil on it Both tasted great and we will definitely return when in the area. read more

At 7:15 one evening we called to insure that they were open- twice. No one answered. We arrive at 7:25 for dinner, we were asked if we were picking up and when we said no we were told they couldn't serve us because they closed at 8:00. The sign on the door says they close at 8:00- suffice it to say we were not happy. Just say no orders taken after 7:00 and be done. The food isn't great but it's convenient. If there was another pizza place around the place would be out of business. read more

Amazing Italian Food!! We ordered meatballs, meat lovers pizza, & Hawaiian pizza. The chef is from Sicily so the food is authentic!! We were visiting the area, but we will definitely be back here when we return! AND it's BYOB so if you want a refreshing beverage bring your own! It's not a fancy place but the food is fantastic! read more

Villa Amato - Meat Lovers Pizza & Hawaiian Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lake Toxaway, North Carolina

In town with a friend and we decided to try this little place out. The pizza was amazing!! She ordered the works and I got the meat lovers and both were delicious! read more

their food is amazing. Harlow is amazing. She's such a good waitress and she's so kind you need to go here. I'm leaving five stars.

The restaurant itself is in what feels like a basement. It was decorated very cute, and had a few tables. There weren't any customers when we arrived and there were 3 teenage girls just hanging out. Maybe the owners kids? The prices were high, but the food was delicious. We shared the white pizza and a Stromboli. We would return if in the area. read more

Awesome family owned restaurant. First class food, first class service, first place ambience. I can't say enough good things. Enjoyed!

We moved to the area recently and tried Villa Amato for the first time. Absolutely amazing. Our dishes (lasagna and Stromboli) were some of the best we have ever eaten. I would highly recommend a visit read more

It's a little hard to see from the road and you need to be careful going in and out of parking because the road curves and you can't see far for cars. Got four types of toppings on three pizzas. Pepperoni, cheese, mushroom, and the works. All were very good. Pretty close to New York pizza. Toppings were high quality. There was quite a wait (40min) for the pizzas but it seems like a small place not made for pumping out lots of pizzas at once. Previous orders of just a single were pretty short wait (15min). There are not a lot of pizza places in the area but I'm glad what is here is very tasty. read more

the lasagna was spectacular last night. fresh and better than i can make it myself with neopolitan grandparents on both sides. we recently moved to lake toxaway from cashiers and it is worth the ride. hard to see from the road but on the right side of the road heading from cashiers attached to a market. the parking lot is tricky/ hilly so be prepared. very little to no atmosphere! but the food imho makes up for it. sit in the back as far from the front door as possible AS THERE IS A STEADY STREAM OF TAKE OUT CUSTOMERS WITH SMILES. we sat near THE DOOR and regretted it.u. back to the food. they ask you if you want bread and itbwas warm and yummy with no additional charge. IF I RECALL CORRECTLY IT HAD plastic tablecloths and some disruptive teenagers hanging around, your basic ITALIAN JOINT mountain style. by the way, the salad that came with our meal was a mix of basic and field greens with olives, tomatoes, red onion, and cucumbers.. excellent ranch dressing.We will come one night a week as we live nearby. give it a try. if you need sophitication, avoid this place. read more

Absolutely fantastic food and great service, family owned and operated which gives it that special touch! Located perfectly in Lake Toxaway so it is convenient for so many people. You have GOT to try their food!!! read more

A little hard to find, but it's right next door to the Market, in a small white building. It didn't look like it was open but there was a neon sign in the window which indicated that they were, indeed, OPEN. The restaurant appears to be family run, very clean, and they were very busy taking orders over the phone. We decided to have hamburgers and fries. Delish. While we were eating, we lost count of how many take outs went out the door. We overheard other patrons talking about how good the lasagna is (which they were out of) and also the calzones. Next time we come it will be for the Italian! read more

We were on vacation and wanted pizza. We ordered three different pies. The sausage and mushroom was fresh and delicious. The pepperoni was generous and the special with ricotta and veggies was amazing. The pizza crust was perfect. read more

Love this place! Pizza and wings are perfect, haven't had the salads yet but they look great too, the service is average, nothing to brag about but defiantly nothing bad, and the ambiance is standard pizza place. (They do have a pretty impressive chimney though) read more

Food was delicious. Service was good. Atmosphere was good. Definitely a place where people would know your name. read more

What a great new place for locals and visitors to come for lunch or dinner!!!!! The menu is full of great options. The crust on the Stromboli is crispy - and loaded with ingredients that you choose. The lasagna is baked in one of the biggest pans I have ever seen with loads of filling. There is outside seating and they are very friendly with the four legged friends. Don't fret if you think there are too many carbs because the salads are fabulous also. They offer something for each member of the party. read more

Very average pizza with canned mushrooms and olives that is overpriced. Also - zero staff wears masks. None. Not a single person in the restaurant has one on. Summary: Overpriced average pizza Zero mask wearing by anyone Just not worth it. With masks it would be a 3 star. Without 1 Star. read more

Pizza was excellent, waitress was great,and the restaurant was clean and nice. Only issue is parking lot is not the best for motorcycle groups. read more

We originally called to order some pasta dishes but unfortunately the restaurant only served pizza the night we ordered. The pizza was very good though and all in all it was a good experience. Call early in the evening because although the hours were stated they said they wanted to close early so it seems to be that the hours are flexible. If we hadn't called at 4 o'clock we wouldn't have a dinner that night. read more

Not fancy, but great NY pizza. We are very fortunate to have this in our community. When in Toxaway and friends over we always run over and pick up pizzas for the evening. Love the appetizers and I'm a big Peroni fan. read more

We love, love, love Villa Amato We are locals and are very grateful to have this delicious food served by lovely people! read more

Worst pizza service in the area. For almost $50, we got a large "Buffalo chicken" pizza which was just cheese and bacon. It was also cold and dry. The antipasto salad that was supposed to be spring greens cut with iceberg ended up being some bastardization of 90% iceberg with some dollar general meat and cheese. Save your money and get the flat bread at the gas station on 64 or just get frozen pizza from ingles. read more

Everything here is good. I've placed many orders and all were ready on time as promised.

Ordered take out from this place. Had chicken caesar wrap, but it's basically chicken fingers wrapped in tortilla shell with few pieces of lettuce and no sauce at all. We didn't order pizza or pasta so couldn't comment on that. Just don't order the wrap. read more

We visit this place almost weekly. Pros - The cheesesteak sandwiches are amazing!! The pizza and calzone are very good. Cons - the restaurant is hard to see from the road so you have to really watch out for it. It is small inside so if you don't like sitting near other people, this may be an issue... although a lot of their clientele seems to be take out. There are a few tables outside. Unfortunately, some of the staff have a bit of an attitude. If they acted like they appreciated your business, this place would be a 10 out of 10. The hours are not always as posted. They will close early.. so if you are planning to go later, call first. read more

One of Sapphire's true treasures, villa Amato makes everything good, from excellent wings and pizza to subs and chicken tenders. All great for takeout. read more

We took my son's family out when on RV trip. A little place and easy to pass. The staff was nice and service good. The Italian food was terrific. The bread was great and we found out that is brought from NY. Brian Long Island, NY. read more

Takeout for a large group was so-so. We ordered many pastas (chicken alfredo and chicken parmesan), buffalo chicken roll, and a sub. The chicken on the chicken alfredo was not proportionate to the large quantity of pasta. The flavor was great though! Antipasto was delicious too. The buffalo chicken roll was pretty much a calzone with buffalo chicken and cheese. read more

We ordered a deluxe pizza while staying at Mountain Falls and were very happy with our order. We especially liked the thin cut on the onions which kept them from being overbearing. read more

Love Villa Amato! We ended up ordering pizza twice from here during our trip to Cashiers. The pizza was fabulous both nights, and the staff was wonderful! We hadn't planned on ordering pizza a second night, but a tree that fell across power lines and knocked out the power changed our plans. Villa Amato was slammed with people who suddenly needed to figure out supper and they were clearly staffed for a regular Thursday night -- but they handled everyone and everything so well! We will return next time we are in Cashiers! read more

The meatballs subs are very good here. The young woman who waits on you is a little lackluster in personality, but she's efficient. The young man is nice. The inside of the restaurant is cozy & I would imagine with a fire going, it would be terrific. read more

We ordered take out-wings and antipasto salad. Both were well prepared. Salad was fresh and beautifully done. Wings were hot and spicy. Pick up...the guy was very pleasant offering extra dressing. All in all, a perfect lunch. read more

We love going here for lunch . Sitting outside is nice . Love the chicken caesar wrap. Good local place .

We just arrived on a Monday evening and found this gem, a local spot where we didn't have to drive to get dinner. Apparently new from the FB posts, family-owned and operated. We ordered a large Margherita pizza added sausage and it was delicious, crispy crust, great sauce and fresh mozzarella. We love pizza and thought it was really great. Service was wonderful. Looks like they have BYOB and there were several diners who brought their own bottles of wine. It's located next to the historic toxaway market so that's convenient! Several patrons came to pick up to-go orders, also, while we were there. There are about seven or so tables of various sizes inside and some outside seating. There were a few larger party tables if you had 6 or so people and a few four and two tops. We saw some lasagna and wings come out while we were there and all looked really good. We will be back this week during our stay! read more

I ordered a large pizza on a Saturday night, September 25th 2021, around 6 o'clock, For takeout. I was told it would be 20 to 30 minutes. When I ordered the pizza I set the timer on my I phone for five minutes. I live less than one mile away, I left immediately. I wanted to be there before the pizza would be done. I brought a warming pizza bag with me. The pizza was waiting on on me!!!! I got there in less than 7 minutes!! Realistically once you order a pizza it should take at least 10-15 minutes if f they are making it fresh. It was done and in the box even before I even payed for it!! There is no doubt that that pizza was previously made and all they did was add the two toppings I ordered and reheated it!!!!! God knows what time they made the pizza. It tasted like cardboard. I called and complained and I was basically told have a good night and she hung up on me. The manager for the night actually hung up on me!!! Stay away! I live here at Mountain Falls motor coach resort and I can promised her, the manager for the night that I would spread the word. Stay away! read more
