amici's east coast pizzeria

the best. close your eyes and you could be in nyc eating a slice.... the only difference is the look... tastes the same! best pizza in california.

best pizza in cali. this is the best ny style pizza in cali hands down...

we were strolling in downtown in the evening when we found this place and decided to have a quick bite.
the place is quite big, visited by families. staff is great.
we ordered for
pizza margherita - thin crust, aromatic and delicious
pesto ravioli-the pesto was to die for!
sparkling wine - good selection
minestrone soup - hearty
we had a good time and the food was wonderful. must visit again.

amici's has some of the best italian food in mountain view. i was really impressed with the taste but with some minor hiccups.

items on my order:
garlic bread, iced tea, greek isle with additional toppings - roasted garlic and jalapenos
the iced tea had way too much ice. it kept getting diluted ever so often and i had to drink up before it got too diluted. so i ended up drinking a lot of water than iced tea.
the garlic bread was delicious. it was overdone but still very much enjoyable.
the pizza was something else. the taste was really great, consistency and chewiness of the base just right. i enjoyed the mini pizza savoring it for a long time.

rating:
food 5/5
service 4/5

value for money 4/5

was in the area and felt a craving for new york style pizza. amici's didn't disappoint! the crust is thin cooked very crispy, yet maintains its doughy texture on the inside. would absolutely recommend to anyone in mountain view!

being a vegetarian, i had a really limited choice of pizaas. i ordered a margherita pizza and it was ok. but i loved the garlic bread. they have a good service. i always love to sit outside and have food and this place can take care of it :)

some of the best pizza on either coast. as a philadelphian, i am very critical of what is passed as new york style pizza. so often, they lie. the charlatan's pie crust is typically too thick even for chicago pizza, the cheese looks imitation, and the toppings and sauce will fall to the table if held perpendicular -- that's what i typically get when i'm outside of philly.

but amici's knows how to make a great new york pizza. the crust is thin, yet rigid and tasty. the sauce and cheese is exquisite. it's got just the right amount of grease that a good pie always has. and the taste is in the top-10 (maybe even top-5) of best pizza i ever had.

amici's caesar salad is also one of the best caesar's i ever had. it had just the right amount of anchovy, which is missing in so many salads.

the amici's in mountain view is in a hip part of town, with lots of young college types and nice decor. the restaurant is immacualtely clean and the brick oven hearkens back to my days in italy whan i was in the navy. i can't recommend amici's more.

where it all started. amici's has an awesome thin crust, oven fired pizza. my usual is the linguini pesto clams. they use to have the most awesome garlic bread ever and then one day poof, it was gone. it's still pretty good but their old recipe was incredible. hard parking on 4th but there is a lot around the block. blazing fast delivery.

having grown up in "joisey" i have a rather strong opinion on what constitutes a good east coast pizza. these guys get it the closest i've found outside of manhattan's shadow, with a few nice ca touches.

great ny style pizza. sometimes you can find a place that really does pizza right - and that would be amici's! it is always one of my stops when am back in town - usually one of my first ones. love the crust there - and they do make one of the best pizza margarita that have ever had - bar none.
the price on the pizza can run a bit high, but in mountain view - you kind of expect that. but when the food is so good - you can deal with having pizza and a drink for just under 20 dollars.
you can sit indoors or outdoors - and the service is always very good. located on the far end of castro if your coming from 101, always found that getting parking close to amici's was pretty easy.

nice find. amici has a delicious ny style pizza. i come from san diego where i still have found a pizza like we find in east coast (in sd, got close with pizza from il fornaio and heard good about luigi's but haven't tried).

so, if you really love thin crust pizza, you'll love amici:)

pretty solid. went to visit some friend in the bay area via phoenix. having lived on the east coast for so long i was really craving a good pizza. no offense to bianco's in phx. certainly a stop if your in the bay area and have the need for a good pie!

very tasty. like the thin crust, very good

my favorite pizza joint west of nyc. their thin crust margherita pizza is the best. decent ambience and service plus a decent kids menu are a plus.

great pizza even on the second day. the pizza was fantastic with the right balance of ingredients. my order was to go and it was ready very quickly. the real quality test for me is how does the pizza taste the next morning for breakfast? in this case it was just as good. next time i am in the area i will go back for more.
