good place

by Brendaparmer at Citysearch

Most people i know love this place. I personally think that this place is over rated . the pizzas and pastas are just ok not great or excellent .One thing though , they do deliver the food quickly ,

good but a bit overated

by shmedlap at Citysearch

Tried Amici's this week based on the reviews here. The pizza was good but definitely not the best pie's west of New York or even in San Jose for that matter. There were three in our group and we had caesar salad (so-so), minestrone soup (very good), pizza (good) and lasagna (very good), The wait staff was prompt for the most part but the prices are rediculously high for the pizza.

• Pros: good minestrone soup and lasagna
• Cons: way too expensive for a pizza

My favorite pizza & pasta joint!

by ronage at Citysearch

I love it so much, I had my wedding rehearsal dinner there! I went on the recommendation of KNBR's Ralph Barbiari. It is the best thin crust pizza out there. I like my pie with fresh garlic and the minestrone soup is great! Cool place to hang out with friends.

• Pros: Beautiful service people and Great food!
• Cons: No reservations taking and lack of parking

Good Pizza, Not Great

by tall1sobay at Citysearch

The pizza here is pretty good pizza, but it's not great. It has the possibility to be great. The crust is really good, one of the best. But the sauce, is just bland, almost like ketchup. It's the one thing they really need to work on. And for the money, its over priced. I do like the atmosphere, and if I'm with friends, sharing a pie, is good. If you want reallt great pizza, drive about 5 more minutes and go to Gumba's in Sunnyvale. Lots more for less.

I have been there and will never go back. Pizza was so bad, i never had so bad pizza; not even the frozen ones.....place is a bit pricey too - u feel like that esp. after such a bad dinner. pasta was horrible too...

Although we only ordered vegetarian pizzas...so do not know about the non-vegetarian ones...

• Pros: none....
• Cons: bad food, poor service

Great Thin-crust Pizza!

by doubledown37 at Citysearch

I've been here about 10 times and I've only ordered pizza. I've tried almost all of the specialty pizzas and they're all pretty darn good! The only downside would be that sometimes the edges of the crust would be burnt. To be honest, that never bothered me too much. It still tasted great! It had the perfect amount of toppings! If I wanted more bell peppers or tomatoes, I would've ordered a salad!!! My favorite is anything with their pancetta! Yum!!

• Pros: Great Pizza, Friendly Service
• Cons: Sometimes burnt crust

Ralph should be ashamed

by ktvasser at Citysearch

Amici's pizza was by far the worst pizza I have ever had - worse then Pizza Hut. The first time we ordered it based on Ralph Barbierri's rave radio reviews - it was burnt, barely anything on it, and was horrible. We thought that might be a fluke. Another time with out of town friends just back from a trip to China and crazing pizza - I suggested this place. It was again burned, nothing on it, terrible, and a total rip off. I would never get their pizza again. BoardWalk pizza is 20 times better and they aren't even a pizza place.

We ordered a vegetarian and a cheese pizza. Both were almost inedible. Almost nothing on the "vegetarian" .. hardly a meal.

My respect for Ralph Barbierri has gone down down down. No credibility.

• Pros: none
• Cons: burned, terrible taste, no toppings

By far the best pizza ever!

Amicis has wonderful oven baked pizza and pastas. The salads are fresh and crisp and the service is wonderful.

If you want yummy non greasy pizza go eat at Amicis!

$20.00 pizza with almost no chicken!

by lovediningallover at Citysearch

I was very disappointed with Amici's. We ordered a medium pizza ($20.00) on the thinnest of crusts, two pasta dishes ($30.00), a small pizza (for one child). It was expensive - especially since all four of us left hungry.

The thinner-crust pizzas are fine as long as they have adequate toppings. The pizza they brought out had tomato sauce, a smattering of cheese, and maybe eight thin strips of chicken. (I believe there was one small sliver of chicken per slice of pizza). For the price, the pasta dishes were meager.

• Cons: Small servings, Chinzy toppings, Expensive
