Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria

This place runs illegally !! The store owner works as a delivery driver and makes tips which he takes away from other delivery drivers. The drivers switch off on deliveries so each driver only ends up getting 3 or 4 orders for the whole shift so they don’t make any tips where the store owner profits off of the food, deliveries, liquor ect.

always enjoyed the food here. service was always fast and the food was always great! the best part was the cupertino store was conveniently located.
what happened to make this store close???

I’m devastated that this wonderful restaurant is closed! With its fine pizzas and great pastas the absence of this restaurant leaves a gap here in Cupertino. Thanks for all the great food!

The good: They have gluten free pizzas and deal very well with various allergies and food sensitivities. Service was quick and helpful. The food tasted pretty good.
The bad: No non-​pasta/​pizza options. Most Italian places will do something like chicken parm, but Amici’s choices are only pizza & pasta.
The ugly: A kid’s cheese pizza is $ 8.95. A basic cheese pizza in medium is $ 19.75. The gluten-​free medium pizza (13″ the only size they have) is $ 21.75. A smallish caesar salad with chicken is $ 12.75, and includes five or so slices of chicken breast and a bit of lettuce. If you eat out, as a family of four, no fancy drinks, it’ll run you north of $ 80. Which is very expensive for pizza.
We only come here when we have guests with complicated food sensitivity issues.

We got a coupon for Amici’s and I’m glad we did! We’ve tried the cheese and the fried eggplant. I love good eggplant and this qualifies so eggplant on good pizza is close to awesome. I’ve also added basil and tomatoes to the eggplant pizza for a take on eggplant Parmesan. Yum. It’s my current favorite pizza.
Service has always been fast and efficient for take out.

Great staff, great food, super clean place. Second time in one weekend and it was consistently good both times. Recommend the flame roasted lemon chicken wings and the Philly Steak pizza.

Had lunch with my sons today, and it was wonderful! The antipasto salad was fresh and flavorful, and it was the perfect size to split between three people for a lunch side. Dressings (blue cheese and ranch) tasted homemade.
One son ordered linguine with clam sauce… Said he was pleading the fifth as to which was better: mine or Amici’s. He said it had great flavors and perfect texture.
Other son ordered Hawaiian pizza and ate everything… Even the crust (which he usually leaves on the plate).
I ordered the Trentino pizza. This is to die for pizza! Pancetta was thick and cooked with a perfect caramelized outer layer. The Meyer lemon infused olive oil paired beautifully with the spinach and feta cheese. Would absolutely order this one again!!!
A little pricey ($ 55 before tip) for a quick lunch for three, but the ingredients were fresh and the service was top notch. Not something I’d take the kids to frequently, but great for a treat!

I have to say, this is the place! We have ordered delivery service several times. My order always arrives on time&meal is hot, not just warm, but hot. Love the pizza, Cesar salad is excellent, pasta’s are excellent. I love this place

Not impressed.
Pizza is over-​priced. The quality of pizza is questionable. I could microwave a frozen pizza and it would taste better than Amici’s. I ordered the Amici’s combo pizza and when i opened the box, it looked like barf on a bread.

Good pizza. Nice, thin, chewy crust, good service. My mom and I split a medium veggie pizza and added pepperoni and my partner got the garlic chicken pizza. It was all good. I’d go back.

I am not usually one to like thin crust, but I do like the thin crust here. It is really tasty. I appreciate they have vegan cheese and like either their vegan pizza on the menu or ordering individual toppings… The red potato is different, but really good with the vegan cheese.
The building is nicely decorated and parking is convenient. I found the staff friendly. We dined in once and ordered o-​line for delivery once. We were happy with the food both times.
My only criticism is the price. I do not understand why it is about $ 30 for a pizza. That is just way too much. We would go more often if the price was better.

Pizza is something that ive always loved and will continue to love. Perhaps my fave food of all time. Id not been to an Amici’s in a while and now i wonder why. The combo with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms and olives always satisfies. The Milano that is sauceless, potatoes, bacon, onions is a bit underseasoned. The wings are ok but not spicy enough. I think the Amici’s combo to stick to. Service is a bit slow late but it still hit the spot. 3.75 stars

I feel like a fool for buying pizza from here. It’s overpriced mediocre pizza. I’m not a pizza expert, but I’ve had a decent amount of pizza in my life and I don’t find anything special about Amici’s pizza that allows them to charge such high prices.
I do believe that they had awesome customer service so I’m hoping those workers are getting paid sky high wages. Until I hear they’re making big bucks working there, I probably won’t go back.
If I wasnt so disappointed by the prices, I’d give Amici’s more stars. 3 stars is only because of the friendly waiter from lunch today & because the setting is clean/​welcoming.

I like their Pizza, service is nice and attentive.
Ordered the Amici’s pizza and all my family liked it.
Definitely our favorite place when in Cupertino.

They have a few additions to the menu that I am very happy about.
Until now every time the family insisted on coming here because they love the pizza I either ate the pizza with them and suffered horrible guilt miseries for this simple carbs sin, or I ordered the minestrone soup which is just an okay choice. Now I have much more to chose from.
I love the new spinach salad (although I recommend to ask for the sauce on the side because they are too generous with the olive oil) and the new Lacinato Kale & Quinoa Salad (were these items always in the menu? because i have just discovered them lately).
I also tried the wild baby arugula & basil salad but I did not care much for it. At our last visit my father in law had their mushroom soup (I think its a new menu item as well) and enjoyed it very much.

Was really looking forward to finding a new good pizza spot but this just ended up being another way to fill the tummy… and that’s about it. We ordered the, arteries pizza, after he guy on the phone was pretty uniforms give about the variety for vegetarians. Not impressed but it is a nice location, nice spot to dine in and good complex. We also orders the garlic bread which was decent,

Really good east coast pizza. We ordered the veggie pizza and it was perfectly done. I asked for a side of jalapeños which really kicked the flavor to another level. The side Caesar salad was also very good — crisp lettuce and fresh made dressing. The pizza is a bit pricey compare to other Cupertino based competition but the ingredients seem fresher and the execution is very good.
Plus service was incredibly attentive and friendly.

came here on a lazy sunday after picking up my brother from his tutoring class. It was around 330−4pm so there wasnt anyone when i walked in. The waiter who assisted me was very very helpful. He asked me where i wanted to sit and was patient for my indecisisve ass to pick inside or outside. I chose outside since it was so nice and sunny outside. He helped me pick a nice spot and answered all my questions regarding the pizza and size of the pies. He even bnrought out the different metal pans and showed me the mini, small, mediium and large.
When my brother showed up about 15 minutes later, we ordered half a Philly and half Manhattan Red on a small. Since my brother had already eaten a little, sharing the pizza was kind of filling for both of us. The pizza came out piping hot on the metal pan. The person didnt slice the pizza well enough, but it was okay. Both pizzas were delicious and the jalapenos on the Philly gave it a little kick. The thin crust was crunchy and good too! We had an extra toppic on the Manhatten Red and the waiter suggested to just put crushed garlic on it because the Philly already had that on top.
After sitting andcatching up with my brother, we finally were ready to leave. Even though the wiater came to check up on a us a few times, he didnt shwo up to give us the check): So we went inside and asked for the check but he was on the phone with a customer. So we waited for a bit and then he let us pay. We walked out satsified and full.
The only downside is that although the pizza was tasty, its a little pricey for what it is. We paid a little over $ 20 for just a tiny pizza. The quality of it wasgood though, so we were probalby paying for quality and the ambience of the place. Also when we left, me and my brother both shared the fact that both of our roofs of our mouths was cut. We believe it must have been the garlic but didnt notice until we left the place.

Ordered a couple pies to go… it has a nice thin crust, but not cardboard thin which I liked and I definitely enjoyed the basil/​tomato pizza… but that’s pretty much where I draw the line.
The pepperoni pizza we ordered had really cute little, nickel sized pieces of pepperoni. They definitely didn’t skimp on it either cause it covered the whole pie. But holy moly was it an oil pit. Even after dabbing a full napkin’s worth off 1 piece, it still managed to continually drip grease onto my plate every bite… ugh. I know I’m eating pizza and not a salad, but my arteries! Didn’t help that this pizza was burnt (not just charred, but burnt) on one side too… where’s the quality control? Speaking of quality control too… don’t most pizzerias have some kind of map to guide their cutting. Each of our pies we cut funky… some pieces way small and others way large (like ¼ of the pie). It’s one of those doesn’t really hurt me, pet peeve things… but for the price they charge, I definitely expected something better.

The rating says it all! «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»
This place is ridiculously pricey. I ordered the miniature Hawaiin pizza because I wasn’t that hungry, and it did not fill me up at all. It honestly could have been less pricey for that small portio that I got. I paid like $ 20 for a 7-​inch pizza that didn’t make me full. Really disappointed with this place since most pizzarias and Italian places I have been to were at least more family oriented and gave free bread to stuff some part of my appetitie. Probably the most unhappiest I have ever been at a restaurant as I reluctantly paid for an overpriced meal. I mean, if the food is good, I don’t mind paying any amount. Enough said.
I do have to give props to the waiter! He was really nice and kept checking up on my table. Maybe it was because I looked pretty unsatisfied with my meal but he seemed like a good guy! :)
