Amore Pizza — Restaurant in Nutley

Ordered 3 pies on 1/13/25. Once inside my kids grabbed their slices and enjoyed them. Until, they started to complain of a “freezer burn” rotten taste and smell. I too, noticed this to be true and quickly called the pizzaria. I told the gentleman on the phone, what had happened and stressed very clearly that I didn’t want my money back or a credit, but something was wrong. His first response was to tell me that I “didn’t know what I was talking “ about & “I was making things up” and that amore pizza “ has a great reputation”. Seemingly out of nowhere, this man was nasty. I can assure you, having been in food service myself, I did not start our conversation rude. But you can bet, I finished that way. My kids have since been sick from BOTH ENDS, after eating this pizza. Something rotten with the pizza or the pizza box is making people sick. DO NOT ORDER PIZZA UNTIL THEY FIX...

This review is solely about the cheeseburger—not the pizza. The pizza’s fine. I saw a photo of a cheeseburger with fluffy lettuce, ripe tomato, and a side of fries, so I decided to order that instead of my usual two slices. Big mistake.

When my order arrived, I was genuinely confused. The burger was buried under the fries, so small I thought they’d forgotten it entirely. It looked nothing like the picture—just one limp piece of lettuce and a paper-thin tomato slice that was barely there. The patty itself was dark, tough, and rubbery, like it had been fried yesterday and reheated in a microwave. I’m not sure what it was, but it didn’t taste like a burger. Honestly, it was worse than anything I’ve ever had from a fast food joint.

I wanted to return it, but didn’t want to cause a scene. I managed to eat about half before giving up and tossing it. Next time, I’ll stick...

So I’ve been here several times the first time being the best but after that it’s been disappoint after disappointment. Today I went and ordered the Nutley slice and it literally fell apart in my hand. No structure what so ever, no crisp no anything, just a soggy luke warm mess. Even folding to eat the slice wasn’t working or saving this. Also it seems that the pizzas are made differently every time. Sometimes it was a thick pan crust, other times it was thin or even just a regular basic slice but none the less it’s strange because i ask for the same two slices each time. Also they typically only have 3-4 pies out at a time to choose from and seem to more less try to recreate certain slices with what’s already out. I originally had high praise for this establishment but there seems to be a problem with consistency with how their...
