Pizza D'amore

Don't walk....run to this pizzeria! This place has hands down The. Best. Food. Period! The fried zucchini strips...oooh! The antipasto salad...yum! The pizza...oh my! You can tell everything is made fresh with top quality ingredients. The Grilled Veggie Panini with pesto and fresh mozzarella is divine. It's not on the menu, but ask them to make one...you won't be disappointed.

Located in the middle of a relatively "sparse" area of Sheepshead Bay, this pizzeria does not attract a copious amount of crowds - which is positive in my view because the atmosphere typically does not get tainted with dystopian and rowdy clientele. Instead, the vast majority of the clientele here are really down-to-earth and pleasant to be around with. Speaking of the atmosphere, this is where Pizza D'Amore really shines relative to other local pizzerias in the area - the ambience is very warm and homely. It has a cozy and cute dining room located in the front that is perfect for dining with a date or family - furthermore, a very spacious room that is plastered with classical Italian decor is conveniently located in the back for parties of all occasions. When it comes down to the food, Pizza D'Amore definitely does not disappoint. The Rigatoni al Fungi and Meatball Parmigiana entree which my party feasted upon last week was so exceptional that it even rivals that of other high-end Italian eateries in the area - especially from a value perspective. Finally, the service was on-point and very satisfying. Luigi, the owner, is a very diligent and compassionate individual - he will make it his best interest to accommodate and please the clientele, whether they are new or returning. Connor, one of the waiters, is also very attentive and efficient. My only "complaint" or feedback for this place is that the house / disco / dance music that currently plays in the background should be swapped for soft lounge / ambient / jazz tracks. Other than that, this establishment is a true "hidden gem" in its own right.
