Great pizzas in the area 4 Star Rating - Very good

Went there with my coworkers on Friday and the pizzas are great. We had about 10 people so tried many different variety of pizzas, they are all very good. Nice clean pizzeria with great service. Highly recommended.

Rockin the Pizza World 5 Star Rating - World class

I am a pizza expert. I've had them the world over and this is in the top 3. Crust is the perfect density of thick and thin. Great taste all by itself. They "dark bake" the pizzas in the now common wood fired oven, so this gets the crust real crisp and the toppings nicely browned. Many places have these super hot ovens and they cook the pizza so fast, the toppings and crust are not properly done. Another reason they're the best here is the pepperoni. They are small little thick cut spicy guys. They curl up with a puddle of grease and a crisp edge. I never said it was healthy! All the toppings are of equal high quality which all helps make this a winner. All of the food is decent, but dont waste your time. Do the pizza. You will be back...

Pros: Best Pizza, Best Pepperoni
Cons: can have a long wait

Last in the list of edible pizza 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

This pizza is thinner than a quesadilla. I have eaten here severeal times for work events. Every pizza I have ever had here is overcooked, too thin, and way too greasy. There are so many better pizza places around town that I don't understand why this one is so popular but I wouldn't spend my own money here. The lights are so bright and the interior is too sterile feeling for me. Generic at best.

Cons: bright

Best pizza around 5 Star Rating - World class

We moved away from redwood shores but still make regular trips back for Amici's pizza! The 'greek isle' pizza is my favorite, it's a white pizza (no tomato sauce) with lots of cheese and vege toppings. The crust is perfect - thin, but still with a lightly puffy crust done in proper ovens. Surroundings are basic, but clean. Service is good. (One flaw - why do I have to give out my phone number when I'm ordering take-out in person?!? Hate that!)

Haven't found better pizza in the bay area.

Pros: Great pizza!, umm, great pizza!, yeah, great pizza!
Cons: location

Awful Pizza!!! There not much there! Grade: F 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Amici's makes the worst pizza I've ever had! I've been to Amici's restaurants 3 times and had it several times in meetings.

Here's why I give them such a bad grade: the pizza is super thin (I know some of you like it that way), there is hardly any sauce, below average amount of cheese, and hardly any toppings. Could they skimp on the toppings any more? I doubt it. Some frozen pizzas are better than Amici's! For example: DiGiorno and Freschetta.

I recommend to stay away from this pizza unless you want to remain hungry. There is nothing to like about this pizza.

Pros: None
Cons: No sauce, Hardly any toppings, too thin
