Ameci Pizza & Pasta Restaurants — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Ok, YES!! Definitely on my list of places to get commercial chain pizza. BUT waaaaaaaay better than Dominos, Little Caesars and Pizza Hut combined.

Ameci's has been around for at least 30 years from what I remember. Some things have changed, but for the most part it's been pretty consistently good. Their Pizza is like the story of the Three Bears. Not too much, not too little, but just about right.

Price: A jumbo (16", 12 slices) will run you around $25 as of February 2022. Check your mail for coupons. Usually they have some deals every week.

Crust: NY style, on the "thin" side if that's what you want to call it, but not too thin. Side note, I like to get the pizza "well done." It crisps up the bottom, and gives a nice toasty crunch to the outer ring on top. Love it!

Sauce: it's got that California tanginess to it. But not too Tangy.

Toppings: honestly whatever you get is going to be good. I think at most of these big chain stores, there's some fresh stuff (veggies) and some stuff that comes out of a can anyway. So you can't go wrong.

Parking: depending on the time of day, there's usually a spot or two in the front. There's also a decent-sized parking lot in the back... maybe 8 cars. Just enough for you to park, do a carry out, and then head on to wherever to enjoy...

Ameci's Pizza, what to say...Is the pizza good? Oh, yeah, definitely better than anything you'll get from a franchise pizza joint. Is the pasta good? You bet'cha.

If pizza places are a dime a dozen, why give it 5 stars? It's not as if there's a beautiful dining room experience awaiting you. Spoiler alert: there isn't one. No, it isn't the pasta or the pizza, even though I wouldn't feel hyperbolic in saying Ameci's is one of my favorites.

The reason I gave Ameci's 5 stars is the effin' CHEESECAKE! You MUST try it! Seriously, if you consider yourself a cheesecake connoisseur, as so many of us do, you owe it to yourself. If not for yourself, try it just to prove me wrong. G'ahead!

I've tried pizza joint cheesecakes plenty of times in the past, I've run the gamut of Cheesecake Factory offerings, had plenty of homemade options, and none of them compare to Ameci's. I genuinely think Ameci's has the best cheesecake in LA!

Again, prove me wrong.

PS: Don't order from Ameci's through one of the delivery apps. Something is wrong with the system and you'll never get what you actually ordered. Call ahead...

I have read some less than great reviews so I want to give my opinion. The food is much better than you think it will be. The pasts are great. I get the very delicious Italian salad. Not crazy about the “garlic bread “ but that’s a fairly minor complaint. I haven’t tried the pizza but it looks really good. The employees are hard working, sincere, conscientious, and always seem very willing to accommodate requests. The prices are about as good as they can be particularly nowadays with sky high $50 dinners which I have been shocked to experience at some Italian restaurants in and near Woodland Hills. I encourage folks to give Ameci a try. I always get my meals to go and bring them...
