    Pizza - Mushroom, pepperoni, Pizza - Cheese
    Esther C.

    This is definitely your go to affordable, no frills neighborhood pizza spot! This pizzeria is pretty unassuming along Northern Boulevard but we are so glad we tried it... many consider this a neighborhood gem and OG spot, we can totally see why. We ordered a variety of slices to try and the bottoms came out crispy to perfection (no flop), sauce to cheese and meat ratio were good. I would say they're hefty slices for the price as well. Please note they are a cash only establishment. There are a few tables to eat in there but we opted for takeout. Will definitely come back to try out a whole pie next time!

    I am new to the area and tried this place for the first time and it hit the spot. I got half pepperoni and plain and everything was on point. The two guys in the front were friendly and welcoming too. I will be back!

    Xtra cheese place has been around for years and continue with their great quality. You come in and just get a sense of nostalgia. Just like the name says, they put a LOT of cheese on their stuff. But the sauce isn't lacking either. You come here if you want that nice carby goodness that is their pizza. And I personally crave the sausage parm hero from time to time. A personal favorite of mine. Very filling, tasty, and affordable. If you haven't tried Xtra cheese then what are you waiting for? Try this happiness for yourself!

    Why haven't I heard about this place? I totally stumbled upon this place by accident. Yes - Great Pizza truly exists in Flushing. This quite possibly may be "That" greatest Pizza in Flushing. Either way, these guys can certainly run with "The Giants" & we certainly do know who are those "Giants" don't we ;-) Old School Establishment! - Limited Seating - Walked in the door and saw 2 Cops from the 109th Pct on their meal - Immediately realized - This place has got to be good. I suspect it was the owner who was on site; As the guys that prepared & served my food - did such with a sense of pride and conviction that one rarely sees anymore. Eggplant Parm Hero was exceptional. Quality of the ingredients were on the money. I'm definitely going to be returning to this location - which I kind of feel is "Off the Beaten Path" - I suspect that is why I never realized or heard of this great place. Definitely worth coming by to check out; Parking - as always is awful - But, it could truly be more awful. Plenty of Public Transportation. Highly enjoyed! - Looking forward to my next visit.

    Staff is very nice, and service is quick. They have a special where you get two slices and a large soda for $5. The slices are huge too.

    Food is great here but they mop the floor with clorox when you're eating so it takes away your appetite. But I miss their pizza.

    My friend told me about Amore Pizza when I lived in Flushing years ago, and I've been coming back…read moreever since. The pizza has a distinct taste and look to it. The cheese blends right into the tomato sauce, giving it that signature orange color, and it's super cheesy, like liquid gold. This is one of my favorite pizza joints, and I try to stop by whenever I'm in Flushing. It's $4 a slice, which is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious slice of pizza. * CASH ONLY * Parking lot on premises

    So I've heard good things about this place and have read a plathora of reviews and since I call…read moremyself a Pizza connoisseur it's only right I tried it out. I got a slice of plain cheese Pizza. It just came out the oven so that was a plus for me. I love freshly made Pizza over a reheated slice.. The slice was great! Perfect. Cooked to a nice golden brown.. Not burnt and not undercooked.. Good cheese to sauce ratio. Sauce had a nice flavor.. A lil sweet.. Had a thin crust with a bit of crisp. The end crust was nice too. Light, crispy and chewy. Pizza guy was straight to the point like an ol school Pizza parlor. Guess if you visit enough and they get to know you maybe they'll chat with you a bit. Who knows.. Anyway, I came for the Pizza and not the convo.. The spot is in a strip mall and inside it's just like a regular Pizza joint. Tables and chairs, the order counter, bathrooms. No music playing. Just a TV showing sports.. Oh.. and signs all over, letting you know that they ONLY take CASH! So make sure to bring that bag with ya! In the end, if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good slice, check out Amore! It's a good slice. That's all folks! -Ray

    I was wrapping up my trip from Manhattan and craving some unique Korean pizza combos after a long…read moreday riding several subway trains. I am a very picky eater, and my stomach can't handle heavy foods. My group arrived at the restaurant at 5 PM and were immediately welcomed warmly by Crystal and Insun before being seated. My group was able to get a table right away when we arrived but it does get busy fast especially during their peak hours. Following up, both Sam and Insun helped us with our drinks, such as providing water right away and even taking extra time to listen and recommend what beers/sojus would be best for the foods we were ordering, my group's preferences in alcohol tastes, and what would be best in terms of our alcohol tolerance! I originally came for their pizza, but since I was on vacation, my group decided we could all share different foods. I appreciate Sam's time in explaining their dish specialties and answering all the questions I had. I can say for certain this is one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to! My group ordered their rose pasta, aglio pasta, half serving of soy garlic chicken wings, half serving of sweet and spicy chicken wings, half serving of the mahsil pizza & half serving of their BBQ pizza. The pizza wasn't too doughy at all, and I love how the toppings aren't overpowering each other; plus, the pizza was loaded with toppings. Each chicken wing was crispy and had the perfect balance between sweetness and savory. I came for the pizza, but the rose pasta stood out to me the most! The sauce was very rich and like "melted" right in my mouth. I have a small stomach, but I couldn't stop eating everything my group ordered because each dish was comforting in its own way! Overall, the space is very cozy and lively; the customer service was not only attentive, but extremely kind and considerate of our time! Definitely come during dinner time, as the food is very comforting and feels warm in your stomach!

    Our first (and probably last) visit seemed to havd so much promise but was ultimately…read moreunderwhelming. Two things basically undid them. First, staff didn't check on our table once. Then, even more importantly, the pizza was impossibly cheesy. In fact, there was so (disproportionately) much cheese that it practically overshadowed whatever else toppings there were. We had large golden crust half and half pizza with bulgogi on on half and Korean chive on the other. We liked the crusty crust and what looked and tasted like sweet potato mousse which appeared to have been squeezed around the outer edges inside the crust ring. The silverware and crockery, including the stand to lay the pizza on, were all nice touches, so I wish the service and food matched these other elements much more closely. They have a bar and flat screen TVs, and the music was audible but not too distracting. I wish them well.
