Amar Pizza

Really enjoy the creativity that goes into creating the menu at Amar pizza. Locally owned by four brothers really allows for great quality food to be offered. Their deep dish is by far my favorite. I’ve had various types of pizza, but Amar pizza truly does offer a distinct flavor that always has me coming back for more! Definitely recommend this pizza joint along with trying the great items on the menu.

Every good, Naga pizza is the way to go, friendly people any the price is not bad I would put it in my top 3 pizza places.

I’ve given this 5 stars solely on taste and novelty.
Ambiance:
Pretty grungy and small with only a 2 – 3 tables to eat there. It’s pretty much a takeout place.
Food:
Ghost pepper pizza
We decided to try this place after watching Andrew Zimmern eat the ghost pepper pizza. For me, the pizza was as spicy as I expected. It was good but barely edible for a wimp like me. DH enjoyed it.
Naga pizza
This is the pizza we crave. It has a (tomato?) naga pepper sauce which is very flavorful and spicy. I love the flavor so much I don’t mind shedding a few tears due to the heat level. It’s topped with tandoori spiced chicken chunks, red onions, cilantro and cheese. It’s very unique and soooo good!
We love this naga sauce so much that we buy several sides of it, freeze it and use it as a side sauce to dip anything (like baked chicken breast) that needs extra flavor.
Tandoori hot dog:
Though the hot dog itself is a bit dry, the sauce and toppings make it taste soooo good. It comes with a slight curry tasting pink sauce with onions and cilantro on top.
Ghost pepper biryani:
My brother tried this when he visited and though it was very good and tasty, it didn’t live up to the spiciness he was expecting. I could eat spoonfuls without crying which surprised me as the naga pizza seemed hotter than this.
You should try this place if you’re looking to try new flavor profiles, but still want something familiar.

After reading lot of good reviews we bought a tandoori pizza, and it was ok. May be because we had better, but it was like everyday pizzahut stuff with more indian subcontinent taste. If you are looking for a change from regular stuff, yes this might work but not among the best in the town.

Very good service i was actually a regular at this place and then i moved so i couldnt go there anymore. But the people are nice and extremely caring to their customers and the owner has a huge heart :)

Most unique pizza around. I love almost every variation. The Philly pizza or BBQ pizza are my favorite choices. Make sure to try the Amar burger too. This place is definitely on my top five for Hamtramck eaterys.

Pizza is delicious. Naga pizza and spicy beef pizza are amazing. Staff is friendly and prices are great. Highly recommend it!

Generally I am a healthy guy, but Amar Pizza seriously makes me consider a life of fatness.
My love for their pizza can only be classed as an addition. Got hyped up for their Ghost Pizza, it wasn’t as spicy as I hoped. I find these days that unless a place makes you sign a waiver, no matter what they say, the shit isn’t spicy. Still, their ghost sauce is a nice, tangy alternative to the regular pizza sauce.
Highlight by far is their spinach pizza.

I really love this place. The cheese bread is unreal. Like a cheese pizza without sauce. Comes with ranch or pizza sauce for dipping but we get both. We always get the square pizzas (Detroit style!). Our favorite is the tandoori pizza. Wz always get Naga sauce for dipping. It’s like pizza sauce but with scotch bonnet pepper in it– in other words it’s pretty spicy. Can’t wait til we eat Amar’s next! :D

Naga on regular crust, Spinach on thin crust. Try the ghost pepper sauce, even if you’re afraid. Totally unique & worth a try!

Amar’s is my favorite pizza in all the land. Square is great with the cheese caramelizing around the edges, but round is great too if you’re a fan of less bready pies. I’ve yet to try their deep dish, as I’m not a huge fan of any deep dish, but seeing as my husband is from Chicago, it is only a matter of time before we order one. Try the Spinach and feta ‘za. Hands down the best. It’s as if they cooked all of the spinach they could find and put it on a single pizza. I have dreams about this pizza. It’s dangerous that I live only blocks away. Always make sure to get some naga sauce on the side. It is a great compliment to the slightly sweet tandoori chicken pie. I made pizza at home rather frequently and almost always impress myself, but this is not that pizza. This is pizza sent from Pizza Heaven. Supino’s is great, OG Buddy’s is great, and they are both close by, but they aren’t my beloved Amar’s.

Came all the way here from NYC because of how amazing the naga pizza tastes according to some of my friends. I was not disappointed at all. Tastes better than I thought. Amazing spot. Will be back here a lot

Meh. It’s okay. Points for unusual pizza topping options, but in the end it tastes just like pizza that you make at home. The crust is lacking that special crispiness that is hard to get without a commercial oven. Ghost pepper pizza was fine, but nothing I’d go out of my way to eat again. I heard their square pizza was great, but upon trying it, it was only a solid mediocre. Probably won’t order from here again, but would eat a slice if it happened to appear in front of me by magic.

Interesting flavors! We got half spicy fish and tandoori chicken. So I surprise here, the fish pie was über fishy and pretty spicy, but not bad! I wouldn’t order it again, but I would eat it if it were around… But the tandoori was really good! Sweet and tangy! I definitely want to try other specials, like shwarma and gyro!

Good pizza but absolutely terrible customer service! A little bit of politeness and humbleness can go a long freakin way. But knowing Bengali ppl, they have a hard time understanding that half of the times. Plus if they knew what fresh ingredients are, it would really help their business. Sorry to go hard on you guys but you just can’t do that to your customers!

Heard the reviews decided to check it out wanted ghost pizza but didn’t want to waste $$$ went for naga pizza instead (suggested by the lady working the register) less intense heat it was a great choice plus I tried the chicken biryani overall food was really good and tasted fresh I would definitely return again

I saw this place on Unilocal,and although I dont live in Hamtramck the menu seemed interesting enough to leave my area. The menu is a mix of Indian foods on Pizza. Upon picking up the pizza the smell was just as interesting and appetizing as the menu, and I was excited to get home and try it. As a self proclaimed pizza aficionado, this pizza has become instantly one of my favorite joints around. I had no idea that so much flavor and spice could be put into a deep dish pizza. I will definitely be trying the rest of the menu. After eating this pizza I wanted to call the place and thank them, but I figured a 5 star rating should suffice.

Awesome speciality pizzas
I would give 5 stars based on their pizzas alone but I don’t know how the rest of their food is…
TWO WORDS:
CHICKEN TANDOORIIII PIZZA = HEAVEN!

You have to give this place their due.
I’ve ordered pizza from here twice and tried both the thin crust and regular hand-​tossed crust. Both were done really well and met and/​or exceeded my expectations. The Chicago ultra-​deep dish is next. Guy behind the glass told me call it in as it takes 45 minutes or so to cook. Noted. Toppings range from the standards to exotic (to my taste buds at least) which would be the Bengali flavors. I still don’t know what naga sauce is but I’ve had it twice and I like it. It’s all halal here so expect zero pork based toppings. I couldn’t tell the difference and am guessing they are beef based instead.
I’ve also eaten the hot dogs several times. I’ve had the naga dog, the plain dog, and the tandoori dog. All were delicious and my Eastern European palate had idea what to make of it.
Quality all around here. Still exploring the menu and flavors. Clearly one of the best pizza places in town and possibly the metro area. It’s different but in a great way.

Continuing my firm belief of «try everything at least once» motto, we tried halal & Bangladeshi pizza for the first time. I’ve had this bookmarked for awhile but being Ramadan and having had amazing Bangladeshi food at Aladdin Sweets & Café 3 days ago, I was inspired for more ethnic eats. With so many 4 star reviews and a visit by Andrew Zimmern, how can you not?
{{I will preface this by saying DF was very, very hesitant… He’s always open to new experiences but eating is a personal experience and he didn’t want his taste buds to be violated with a concept so foreign. Go with something new like their own specialty pizza’s and something you know like a veggie & even pepperoni pizza.}}
1 word: UNIQUE is how I would describe this overall 4 star pizza joint. For our typical #pizzafriday we got 2 square deep dish but instead of getting our usual pizza & cheesy bread, we skipped the cheesy bread for aforementioned 2^nd pizza. My logic was 2 small squares with half & half on each so we could try as much of their popular choices as possible. $ 26 later, we’re fans!
1) Dry Fish pizza: Dried shrimp, roasted garlic, onions, cilantro and spicy fish paste sauce. The highly (but stinky) pizza everyone recommended was calling my name. Fish paste and dried shrimp isn’t a new concept to me. Its in a lot of Vietnamese and Filipino cuisine but I was interested in how this would taste on a pizza. The idea is that the paste and shrimp get crunchy during the baking process and it sure does. It’s like the texture of fried shallots (often found on Banh cuon for Vietnamese food). If you can get over the smell, its worth trying! Oh, and ask for a side of Naga sauce which is like a marinara sauce with some ghost peppers for a little kick. We dipped our pizza in that and it was so good!
2) Tandoori pizza: Tandoori chicken breast, red onions and cheese in their special tandoori sauce. This was spicier than the dry fish pizza even though the pizza says «Spicy fish paste sauce.» Its also sweeter which I don’t remember tandoori being so sweet. I honestly didn’t like it as much as I hoped I would being that I love tandoori chicken. Ask for a side of tandoori sauce to dip the pizza in and it’s so much spicier and good!
3) Vegetarian Pizza: your typical veggie pizza with mushrooms, olives, green peppers, tomatoes but BONUS: Broccoli & breaded eggplant! Wow that eggplant took it to a whole new level. I like that it was breaded b/​c regular eggplant needs to be «sweated» lest it seep a watery mess all over your pizza. Breading & frying it like eggplant parmesan (and who doesn’t love fried eggplant parmesan slathered in cheese?) and adding slices all over the pizza was creative. I’ve had broccoli on pizza before and this was good but could’ve been cut into smaller florets so that it would give it more of a roasted flavor during the baking process. Def a fan!
4) Mediterranean Pizza: Homemade garlic sauce, marinated chicken breast, tomatoes, black olives and red onions and cilantro. This was good but I feel Amar missed the boat on this one. It was lacking that Mediterranean flavor. I think there should’ve been some feta on this pizza and some oregano spices.
Next time I wanna try the Spice Pizza & Gyro Pizza. Maybe not the Naga Pizza only b/​c I got a side of the sauce so I think I have an idea of what that would taste like. You can tell their customers like trying out new flavors b/​c the girl picking up next to me got Philly Cheese Steak Pizza and she said she’s tried the Spinach & Gyro and thought it was tasty.
Pro Tip: Ask for side naga & tandoori sauce ($ 0.25 ea) and they even have ranch if you’re that type of pizza eater.
