Well lit, clean and great local place to have pizza. Nice atmosphere, too. Toppings were fresh and delicious. The salad was nice and fresh, too! Outdoor seating available.

I like this place a lot. Make sure to call an hour in advance because it takes a while but worth the wait. The combo is my go to. The dough is good 8/10. They could add some homemade sauces since they only have ranch which is not that great.

I wanted to grab some white sauce pizza in town and initially thought I had made a big mistake ordering from this place. Oh boy, I was wrong.

The other reviewers are absolutely correct when they say this pizza tastes "fresh"- it really felt like the tomatoes on the pizza were just picked off a plant outside. Despite it being a pizza, I ended the meal feeling refreshed - as if I just had eaten a salad or something due to the lack of oil on the pie (even more surprising considering I had gotten the Supreme Pizza with white sauce).

Wait time was ~30-45 mins via 3rd party app. Place didn

My all time favorite. Fresh ingredients and awesome tasting red sauce. If you haven't try Heavenly cheese pizza, it's a must have when at Amato's.

Totally meh pizza. Stale crust. Exactly 2 pcs of sausage per slice on the Greek. They're on the Slice app, which is convenient, but only once.

I love the shrimp plus sausage pizza combined. It is one of the only local places that puts shrimps as a choice ingredient for pizzas which I truly appreciate. They have a big food menu and plenty of choices for customers to choose from. I recommend this spot.

I drove 30 mins from Gilroy to get this pizza. We order and wait, and sit outside. I noticed the table was a little wet but I assumed it was the weather, turns out it was bleach. I just thought it was my sleeve at first but it stained my entire backside. Whoever cleaned it didn't dry it. I understand they have to clean, im very disappointed. I didn't ask to pay for my clothing I asked for a refund and a free pizza on my next visit, the manager said I'd get my refund in 2-3 days but couldnt give me a free pizza. Come on, the refund isn't gonna replace the money I spent on my rags. I say maybe rethink

The specialty pizzas here are fantastic along with the sandwiches and appetizers. Very popular, so sometimes it takes a few minutes, but well worth the wait. I have loved coming here for many years and take-out or delivery has always been a big part of what they do. Hoping for Covid to get under control so that we can hang-out here again, but take-out is good for now.

We got two Calzones ($9.99 each) to go and enjoyed them for lunch. My wife had the Chicken Calzone (chicken, mushroom, artichoke hearts, & olives with pesto sauce) and I had the Amato Calzone (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, & cheese with tomato sauce). They are tasty and reasonably priced.

This pizza is bomb. Not super thick and doughy, and also not very thin. It is the perfect thickness. We order pepperoni all the time, probably 10+ times in the last year or two. Everytime the pizza is the same, delicious. It has a herby taste vs some pizza spots that have a sweet taste. I would eat this pizza everyday if I could. Their location is tucked away and their seating is spacious. They have a few TVs which normally are showing sports, a salad bar, and a few games (a must have for a local pizza joint.)

Amato Pizza is the best pizza in the area, hands down.

I've been coming here for fourteen years and have never been disappointed.

The pizza is excellent, my personal favorite being a half Amato and half Italian garlic.

I also recommend the breadsticks (totally filled with cheese!)

The garlic bread also is soooooooo good!

The owner is a wonderful human that has always been kind to me and made me feel welcome.

Cannot recommend this place enough! Countless birthdays and team parties have been had in the past fourteen years of my patronage that have always been wonderful

I had the Chicago style deep dish and it was delicious. The small is enough for three people (which we didn't know going in, so we each had our own small). My daughter had the garlic chicken on deep dish crust (different from the Chicago style) and my husband had the BBQ chicken on regular crust. They both looked good, with generous toppings. We also had the bacon cheese garlic bread, yum!

I love this place! The pizza is AMAZING. My family and I have been going here for years. It's my favorite pizza and the service is OUTSTANDING. I went there today and the Gentleman that worked there was so kind. I called in to place my order and he was so helpful and professional and answered my questions and was so patient. I love the five stars program and enjoyed a delicious salad from my rewards and I shared with him it was my Birthday and he was so kind we ordered a cheese cake and he brought it out with chocolate syrup that he added to it. I highly recommend Amato's for the quality

I have been eating here since I was a kid, and it is still my number one choice for pizza. Great service, and is usually lively without feeling too busy. The pizza itself is delicious and there are a good amount of options for toppings. If you are in the area and looking for pizza, this is the best place to go to.

They have lovely pizzas and everything else a friendly neighborhood pizza shop can offer. Big fan of the caprese salad. My son loves the arcade games here. A great shop for both Togo and dine in. 4 stars since it's on the expensive side for a pizza shop. O have seen pizzerias of same quality with more reasonable rates

Great pizza but I've been priced out of enjoying it. Been eating here for 17 years but now I can't justify the ever increasing cost. Sadly. The quality of food, service and, the owners are awesome. I highly recommend trying their pizza.

Yum!!! The veggie garlic pizza was highly recommended by my cousin who travels from the peninsula down to SJ just for it. We got it delivered on a Sunday and it did not disappoint!!!
