“ We ordered the four cheese lasagna and the Caesar salad with anchovies and the bread. The food was delicious. I will definitely come back. We got a pizza, but we would've liked it. better, had we not added the chicken, but it was good as well. ”
“ We ordered a large clam pizza with thin crust slightly underdone through Door Dash. So, I have no idea what service or ambiance is like if you eat in. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. I am an east coast girl and finding a true thin crust pizza is so challenging out here. It was delivered quickly and the pizza was good though the clams, while clearly fresh, were not cleaned super well so we had little crunchy moments lol - the crust was decent enough (sorry! I am SUPER picky!) that we will try again though probably not the clams. ****Update - Based on Amici's excellent customer service I can honestly now give them a solid 4 stars. They reached out to me immediately and offered me a gift card for the cost of our clam pizza. We will definitely be trying them again - and as they suggested, we might even dine in so we can get the full benefit of the pizza right out of the oven. I will update again once we have a chance to try them again. ***** ”
“ Gluten free pizza is tough to pull off. Oftentimes gluten free pizza crust tastes slimy. That makes me sad. Great pizza, to me, tastes undetectably gluten free. It should taste "regular" This is that. Everyone knows what to expect from Amici's: a thin crispy crust with a tender middle and a modest smattering of high quality ingredients. If you've visited Italy this feels familiar. Tasting this pizza, you know it's different from every other pizza in your neighborhood. That's a good thing. Grab some gluten free beer to go with your gluten free pizza from Amici's and turn the game on. It's what we did while enjoying these delicious pizzas. ”
“ I frequent the Amici's Pizzeria in Vacaville, CA. Luv the pizza. Their thin crust, oven flamed fired pizza is so good. So when I was in San Rafael for the night and realized there was an Amici's close by, I definitely made it a point to order a pizza. I called in an order for pickup. I ordered my favorite... pepperoni pizza. It was delicious. Plus the customer service was fantastic. The pizza is baked in an open flame pizza oven. The pizza from this Amici's had a thin crust; it was light with a soft chew. The pizza was beautifully lightly blistered. The pepperoni is so good, great quality and taste. The pepperoni curled up into little cup shapes with crisp edges. They use quality mozzarella as well. Overall just a darn good pizza. The customer service is great. Everyone I spoke to was kind, outgoing, and helpful. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, as are most of the downtown eateries. Another thing to note is the parking situation; there are metered street parking and a paid city lot around the corner down a block on C and 5th Street. ”
“ This place is my kinda pizza spot. A bit pricey but the food is good. They have good customer service. The servers were very kind. ”
“ Nice spot for a New York style pizza I got 3 slices in b4 I started this review Cute place , courteous staff, nice atmosphere ”
“ Take out but make you ask for it not to be overdone. Sadly the same day 2nd order was burnt on one side of the pie ”
“ Definitely a smaller location but in a very nice area. We happened to be in the area and decided to have dinner here. It was quite busy on a Friday night but we were able to get a table right away. Servers were very nice and food was great. We ordered the breadsticks, a margherita pizza to share and each got a pesto pasta with chicken. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. Honestly had no complaints at all. Would definitely come back to this location. ”
