My in-laws and husband are pizza snobs, being from the New York/New Jersey area. When I told them the best pizza I have ever had was right in my hometown, they did not believe me. Their story changed when I took them to Amici, Madison. They all agreed the "pies" there are comparable to a great New York pizzeria
My favorite is the Margherita pizza. Loaded with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and sliced tomatoes, this is my go-to pizza. My in-laws love the sliced Italian sausage pizza and my son-in-law is partial to the buffalo chicken pizza.
I always have such a hard time deciding what to eat there, though. I love their wings. Some of the best I have eaten anywhere, and I have traveled quite a bit. The Italian subs are also some of the best I have ever eaten, and their salads are refreshing, light, and big enough to share.
Service is also great. Does the pizza come as fast as fast food? No, but that;s the point. You are not in a fast-food restaurant. You are in a real pizzeria.Appetizer service is rapid and you HAVE to try the calamari. Drinks are plentiful and you can enjoy an ice cold beer while you wait for your amazing, fresh-made-to-order pizza. All the servers are friendly and polite and even fun.
If you are in the area and are craving a great pizza, be sure to try Amici's.
