That’s Amore Pizza

We found this place by chance and will definitely be back. We got a cheese pizza, and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Their crust is soooo good.

After Go-​Kart Racing, my boyfriend and I figured we would pick up a slice of pizza. We were going out to dinner later that night and the timing was weird (almost 3pm) so we didn’t want to go somewhere and get an entire pizza or a full meal. We had also both been craving pizza. I looked up this place on Unilocal,naturally, and saw it got 4.5 stars with a good amount of reviews. It’s just around the corner from the Mirmar Speed Circuit and down the street from my bf’s job, but he had never heard of it or been.
We drive there and park easily, it’s located in a good sized shopping center. We walk in and the place is small and drab, which is fine. Most good authentic pizza places aren’t over the top. There was a family of 4 chatting and waiting for their meal. There was only one person working there, I’m assuming the owner, and he came out from the back. He was friendly and helpful. We ordered a slice of pepperoni and a slice of cheese with 2 toppings added, plus 2 canned sodas. Overall, the price was right. I think the canned soda’s we $ 1.25 each and the slices were about $ 2.75 each.
We were really hoping to go there and just grab a slice of pepporoni or cheese already made, similar to pizza my heart. They had the display there but no pizza instead. Maybe since it was an off time they didn’t have slices out to purchase. It was fine, we sat down and waited for a few minutes. The other guests go their calzones and sandwiches and then ours came out.
The crust was great! It was cooked how I like it, with a little crunch to it. Not too thin, but not thick at all. Good sized slice, too. The only thing lacking was FLAVOR. I ordered the green pepper and pineapple topping. Maybe it was my toppings (the same kind I get all the time – yes, I know, a weird choice but my favorite). I added lots of red pepper to make up for it, but it just didn’t taste like much.
I was a bit disappointed. I had been avoiding pizza for over a month and this was my first slice, my ‘cheat’ meal and it was definitely not worth cheating with.
Perhaps the other food is better. Maybe it was an off day since it was so slow and just one guy working. The service was great, pricing was fair and the location was ideal, but that’s about it.

When you eat at the restaurant you get real silverware and plates — not paper and plastic! The crust is hand tossed — delicious! All of the ingredients are very fresh and the sauce is slightly spicy

Been coming here for calzones since 1994. Really good food and service. Call ahead if u want Sicilian Style crust for a whole pie. Order take out in the summer as there is no AC and it gets hot in the shop.

My only complaint is they don’t have ac. It’s so hot inside and with the pizza ovens. I always get my food Togo

Great lunch menu and pizza place. I recommend their pizza. Super yummy. I always get a slice of pizza with jalapeño and a smallsalad. All for $ 7. :) Nice family owned pizza shop conveniently located.

That’s some good pizza!
The couple who runs this place is super adorable too. Love the Mom & Pop feel

Jack and Rose, I will not longer be working right across the street. I am sad because I will miss coming into your establishment. I love your food and I will miss the two of you. I will have to bring my kids up here on a weekend to see the two of you and get some of your wonderful pizza.

This is my first time here. The GF wanted some pasta so I pull out the trusty Unilocal app and found this place. High reviews for sure. So we stop by to order some food and immediately was warmly greeted by the couple in such a no pressure and laid back atmosphere. I felt like I was eating at home. I ordered a lasagna and a slice of pepperoni sausage. The GF had the pepperoni with ravioli. It was delicious! I’ve had the real deal NY pizza when I traveled back east and this place is close to the taste, texture, and feel of the crust and ingredients. We will be back for sure!

I come here all the time with a co-​worker for lunch. the couple that runs it is so sweet and the food is always great no matter what I order! Love this place!

Love this place for quick dinner when I don’t feel like cooking after my kids’ late evening taekwondo practice in the same strip mall.
Pizza by slice, whole pizza, calzones, salads, pastas — all good food prepared by a sweet couple who runs this little place. They are so friendly and welcoming to everyone who walks through their door.

My first time eating here and got a pepperoni pizza and it was good! The couple that works there are so nice. Definitely will be back again!

This place is awesome! Pizza and calzones can be made to order. Food is fresh, hot, and delicious!

I’m not a pro-​yelper, so when I decide to write a review I always have to feel above and beyond compelled to do so. This is a family owned pizza joint who are among the nicest people i’ve ever met. Beyond that, it’s the pizza dough that stands out as one of the most impressive I’ve ever had in San Diego. This has suddenly become one of those hole-​in-​the-​wall spots where I automatically think about visiting day after day for lunch. Not only because 1. The overall quality of the pizza, 2. A great deal, $ 5.50 for 2 slices and soda, but also because it feels great to support local business owners that take pride in their work and are as accommodating as you will find anywhere.

This place has been around for a very long time and it’s still being run by the same family today as it was back then. The couple that own and operate it are some of the sweetest you’ll ever meet and the food is as real as it gets. Order a slice or a whole pie and if your into the calzones, you can’t go wrong there either! Enjoy it while it last, I believe they’re going to be retiring soon so make as many trips while you can!

The owners are so amazing and go out of their way to make a delicious meal and pleasant dining experience. Our family ordered cheese pizza, a calzone, the Greek salad, and a couple of calzones and it was all delicious! The place is small and simple but clean and perfect. Highly recommended!

Better than average pizza, haven’t tried the calzones yet but they are huge. The couple that run this place clearly take more pride in their work than places like Giant Pizza King, where they just slop it together swimming in its own grease. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. I’m really glad this little pizza joint is right down the road from my work because the mexican joint right next to it is totally disgusting. Anyway, I hope more people go to little mom & pop places like this to get their Italian fix instead of going to the big chain restaurants. Highly recommended!

This pizza place is a cute little shop! I opted for the lunch special! the price is not bad! I am however a weird one, i like to use a fork and knife with my pizza but sadly this time i had to fold it in half and watch the oil drip from the end :\

I like places like this that offer pizza by the slice, especially when you cane get two pepperoni slices and a drink for only $ 5.50. In stead of a soda, they let me have a bottle of water. The two slices had a good amount of pepperoni and were well baked (
).
The pizza tasted very good and had a good amount of cheese, but before I tackled the slices, I added a generous amount dried oregano and Parmesan cheese (
). After that, the pizza was bliss, not to say it wouldn’t of been great with out it. The crust was thin, crispy, well baked, and tasted good (
). I liked the upper crust had a little more thickness and some chewiness to it which in my book, makes for a great slice of pizza (
).
The gentlemen running the pizzeria and owner of the place is very kind and proud of the product he provided.

They were closed for like 2 weeks., 2 weeks 2 long! They just got all new appliances and they moved over to the building next door. Me and all my co workers were calling like everyday to find out if they were open yet. THEIR OPEN TODAY! I swear this pizza place is like crack to all of us!
Thanks for finally being open:)))
