Pizza Amore

We have lived in Gibson for 33 years and have been going to Amore since day 1. It is family owned and currently three generations work in the store. The pizza is great — crispy crust that is perfectly cooked. They use quality ingredients; most are imported from Italy. Great heroes, soups, dinners. The antipasto salad and garlic rolls are amazing. In the summer, they also have great Italian ices. We can walk there but there is plenty of parking behind the stores.

It’s hard to eat a slice of pizza when the person sweeping the floor handles your food without washing there hands after picking up the trash and thinks that’s ok pizza went right in trash first and last time at this place.

I’ve been a resident of Valley Stream for well over 25 years and I must say that Pizza Amore is great! Aside from being walking distance from my home, the quality of food is superior. The Pasta Fagiola is exceptional which is prepared the old-​fashioned way as I rremember my mother made it growing up in East New York. The pizza is also very good — quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Try it, you’ll like it!

This is my favorite pizza joint in the area and we have an abundence of them with 15 minutes of my home. It is a family owned business and the owners are great people… and at times the conversations get very colorful.
Ive been wating here almost all my life so ive pretry much gone thrpught the entire menu. All of the pizza is great… sicilian, grandma & round … I enjoy them plain ore with pepperoni and sausage toppings. The sausage and pepperoni rolls are aw we some. They make a great salad and all of the hot sandwiches are good. I’ve had the veal marsala and chicken francese and enjoyed them.
Cash only there is an ATM at the deli on the other side of the tracks.

I’ve been coming here for 30 years. This place has been run by the same family since. Their food is always good and I can never get enough. They don’t deliver and that’s fine since they cook the food fast and you can just run in and pick it up. This is a small and old school pizza parlor.

I live down the block, so this place is convenient but we stopped going because we got grossed out. The old man smokes, then he’s touching the food without washing his hands. Then the family always seems to be fighting. We don’t need drama with our food.

Great local pizza spot serving the Gibson area. Family owned & operated. Very authentic New York pizza with great crust! The pizza has been high quality for years and probably always will be. Great for
slices of all kinds and take out. They don’t do speciality slices which often causes me to take a ride up to road to marinara where I can find ziti, buffalo, whole wheat, etc. however if a regular slice is what I’m after– pizza amorè is where I go!

Great pizzeria. Excellent grandma slices and garlic knots. Chicken rolls are amazing.

Being that pizza amore is in walking distance of my parents house, I’ve been eating it for quick lunches/​dinners as far as I can remember! Just had a slice of their grandma pie today and it’s my favorite! It’s really saucy, with not an overload of cheese, and although that may not be desirable to everyone, I think it’s delicious! I also find that it’s not greasy at all like most other pizza places which is a definite plus.
A grandma pie is definitely my families’ go-​to, but we are also frequent chicken roll consumers. The chicken rolls here are really good, sometimes could be on the dry side, but nothing a little side of sauce can’t fix! I personally love their pasta fagioli. The first time I saw it, I remember thinking it looked so different than my nonna’s (italian grandmothers always cook the best) because it is literally bright orange, but surprisingly it’s just really really good. My only complaint about the pasta fagioli is that the pasta is always mushy, but with a taste like that I don’t really mind the lack of ‘al dente’.
Cash only, and cheap in comparison to the other pizza places near here! Recommend.

Been going there for years. Great service, great people and great food. One downside is they don’t deliver.

We live just down the road. Great pizza and service, cash only.

There is a Saint on the counter, two popes on the wall and most nights three generations behind the register.
This has become our regular take out place. Good sauce, strong oven, reasonably priced. Leave your credit card in your wallet. This is the type of pie I was raised on and if you spruce up your pie they never skimp on the toppings.
Oh and of course they have Ginos for after.

Pizza Amore has excellent pizza. It is always ready fast and they use quality ingredients. Service is friendly and the place is run by a very nice family.

Great pizza, the grandma is the best. The heroes are good and the wait time is very quick. No delivery and very limited seating. The sicilian is really good too.

Pretty good pizza, never had any problems. They only take cash

That grandma slice is no joke! Regular slices are pretty good too. I also fell victim to a fresh Sicilian pie that just came out the oven. A very good pizzeria in my book.

Damn, can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. Pizza Amore: located near Gibson Station and kind of a hole in the wall sort of spot.
When you walk in, it’s a really small, little restaurant with only a few tables to sit at, as most of their customers take out. I usually stay, however. The guys that work there are awesome and down to earth. What you see is what you get here. If you come here, you will most likely find yourself in some interesting discussion that the owner and the rest of the staff are discussing. I love this place because it’s real and there are no apologies for it.
The pizza and rolls are pretty tasty and the prices are pretty fair. The one negative is that they accept cash only. Other than that, this place is the real deal! I can’t wait for the next chicken roll, conversation about (insert random topic) at Amore’s!

You can’t say Pizza Amore without talking about those amazing chicken rolls of theirs… actually you can but I kind of had to mention them right from the get go.
Another pizzeria I grew up with and only recently started to enjoy. Though it’s not the most well known place and it’s extremely small (it’s more for take out if anything) Pizza Amore gives you some good pizza for your money. The staff is really friendly and the service is fine, and though there isn’t much room, it’s fine to sit and eat there if need be. They don’t try to be more than they are and for that they succeed.
Now the pizza is overall fine with a good selection and fair prices to boot. I mean I wouldn’t say it’s anything spectacular but you could do much worse (don’t get me wrong though, this pizza isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination). However, the biggest plus for me, and this is worth the extra star, is their chicken rolls… oh the Amore chicken rolls. Those huge wonderful rolls are fantastic. Best ones I’ve ever had and more often than not it’s my go to order. I actually remember one time when I came back from the city, I got there just as it was closing and I got two for the price of one, which only sweetened the deal (granted they were a little stale but hey they were still pretty damn good). Okay I’ll stop now.
So Pizza Amore is what it is, but I’ll take it. Definitely worth a visit once in awhile.

The food:
The pizza here is pretty decent. However, I must say this place has the most inconsistent quality that I’ve ever seen in a pizza place. I have had the buffalo chicken slice a few times from here and each time it is different. The first time I had it, it was covered in tiny chicken pieces and it was VERY spicy and drenched in sauce. The next time I got it, it was better with bigger chicken pieces and an appropriate amount of sauce (no too much, not too little, it was justtttt right!).
The place:
It is somewhat difficult to find parking, so I usually just walk here. This eatery is very small inside and somewhat of a dive, but it doesn’t look too dirty, which is a plus. They only take cash here so keep that in mind before buying something.
Conclusion:
I honestly wouldn’t recommend coming here unless it is convenient for you (maybe you’re at the Gibson train station and you want to grab a quick bite). There are much better pizza places in a 1 mile radius (Ancona’s or Rosa’s). The prices are decent, but I have seen better. All-​in-​all, I’d say pass.

Pizza Amore is a very decent pizzeria across the street from Gibson station that serves good satisfying food.
This place is a dive-​y hole-​in-​the wall, not meant for a sit-​in meal but strictly for take out. There are however two small tables to sit down in if you want a quick meal before your train arrives.
The people behind the counter are very nice, friendly, and they get your food ready in a jiffy. I’d never had to wait too long for my order.
Their pizza is very good, my favorite being the buffalo chicken pizza. They must have a rotation of different cooks because the buffalo chicken slice is different every time I order it. One was so spicy that it was a little painful to eat (very tasty though) and one time the spice was milder and more enjoyable to consume.
The pizza is always fresh and good. Garlic knots are nice and garlicky.
Will order from here again.
Parking is hard to come by, but I believe that you can park in the parking lot by the train station. I would confirm this with the people behind the counter though to be safe.
