Having heard that this Pizza restaurant was the best pizza this side of italy I decided to give it a go.
On arrival I realised that this was a basic pizza shop/rest with past their used by date wooden tables and a cramped eating arena that housed the diners, take away customers and food preparation staff positioned in prime location below a flat screen plasma screening the flicks from local TV.
The pizza when it arrived was certainly something that does not come from the pizza ovens of most Melbourne pizza establishments and is clearly a fine example of less is more when it comes to quantity and quality. Here you get fancy toppings scattered on the top of extremely thin style base and cooked to perfection in wood fire oven. If I hoped for an Aussie with pineapple and chilli i would have been escorted out into Burgundy Street.
The traditional pizza in its tasting was pleasing and the dish of fresh chilli added the extra punch that I felt it required. I was surprised that this was just a pizza restaurant, not an al dante strand of pasta or veal scollapine to be found anywhere on the A4 paper menu, most italian establishments though primary focus its pizza will still offer diners something else italian from its kitchen.
The waitress serving me was wonderful and masked the pizza makers rude personna that could be interpreted as rude. If it wasn't for the palate as being as satisfied as it was I possibly wouldn't return.

Amazing food and fantastic service. Can't get enough of their pizza - they focus on less is more, where every flavour is important. I'm never a fan of TV's in restaurants; however it was handy during the Olympics. The price is high, but you get what you pay for.

The Pizza come out very late 35mins (doesn"t take that long). The waiter was full of himself and was not too in tune with the service he was trying to provide. The girls were great and should be in charge!!!

Excellent pizza!!!! That's the way they are in Italy, quality not quantity is the way to go with pizza. Amici Pizza is really good food because when you eat it, you don't feel like you've just eaten a brick (as is the case with many other pizza places in Melbourne). The only flaw I see is that I don't like the metal plates they serve it on.

I spotted this place just walking along burgundy street and my nose took me there... there was a fantastic savoury flavour there. I come from Italy and I can definitely say that they make pizza the way Italians do. No surprise that the pizza maker worked all his life in Italy. The environment is warm homey and familiar.
The pizza they make is delicate with first class and accurate selected produce. The dough is amazing, cruncky and thin. I had a pizza there several times, I brought my friends there and they all were very satisfied. I tried both focaccia and pizza. In particular I like pizza santorini and focaccia with bocconcini, basil and tomatoes.
So if you like the idea of eating a pizza the way they do in Italy just go there. It will take to Europe.
If you instead are very hungry and you do not care what you are eating, like Simon, just go to a fast food. The appreciation of food does not come from the amount of food you get but from its quality. However I have never left that place after eating a pizza being hungry. If you feel like eating more they have a fantastic home made tiramisu...enjoy!

If you are tempted to open a Pizza Restaurant Amici is the template. Follow their lead and you will make a killing, over priced Pizzas with virtually no topping what-so-ever. Order a Vegetarian Pizza and what you actually get is one slice of pumpkin on one slice, eggplant on the next, zucchini on the next, you get the picture. Don't get me wrong I appreciate thin base pizzas that focus on quality over quantity but this is ridicules.
I ordered a margarita with olives, I'm not sure if I was more shocked at the fact that all I received was no more than three sliced olives lumped in the centre of the pizza or the fact that when I returned the pizza that they saw no problem with this, telling me that I should have ordered extra olives. To get the amount of olives you would receive anywhere else I would have had to order extra olives ten times over. There are a few good Pizza places in the Heidelberg area and several average ones, all are head and shoulders above Amici.
