D'Amore's Pizza Connection

What People Are Saying About Pizza Connection

In Short – In an attempt to recreate the pizzas he grew up eating, East Coast transplant Joe D'Amore established this local chain of restaurants in 1972. Today, well-heeled diners scarf down casual Italian classics such as baked ziti, eggplant parmigiana and signature thin-crust pizzas. Pies are sculpted with cornmeal dough, olive oil and "special" water shipped in from Massachusetts. Popular orders include the tomato sauce-free pizza Bianco, grilled vegetable pizza and the substantial Meat Lover's Special.

loved every mouthful

HAD A GREAT MEAL AT D'AMORES IN CAMARILLO TONIGHT. JOE D'AMORE MAKES YOU FEEL SO WELCOME AND WAS VERY ATTENTIVE THROUGHOUT. THE STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HAPPY WHICH IS'NT THE CASE WITH A LOT OF RESTAURANT STAFF ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG. I HAVE EATEN IN MANY MANY ITALIAN RESTAURANTS AND CAN HONESTLY SAY IT WILL ONLY BE D'AMORES FROM NOW ON. THE PIZZA WAS OUTSTANDING AND THE LASAGNA WAS SUPERB. THE PORTION SIZES WERE A WELCOME SURPRISE.I HAVE READ THE OTHER REVIEWS WHICH SAID IT IS EXPENSIVE, YES IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN DOMINOES OR PIZZA HUT ITS ALSO 10 TIMES BETTER!!!!!!!!!!GOOD FOOD DESERVES A GOOD REVIEW. WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON. (D'AMORES WAS RECOMMENDED TO US BY A NEIGHBOR AND SATISFIED CUSTOMER.)
- Pros: quick service and very friendly staff
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Closest to Real Boston Pizza
by Revolution9 at Citysearch
In an ocean of same tasting pizza, there's an island called D'Amore's. What other restaurant brings in actual Boston water? The owner took me back into the kitchen and showed me the freaking water? I mean, the attention to detail here shows! The pizza is incredible. The crust is thin, crisp without being dry. Freaking perfect! I've heard about D'Amore's from friends for years. Today, I stopped at the Tarzana store to try a slice. Tonight, I picked up a jumbo pie at their Canoga Park restaurant. My diet is screwed. While I was waiting for my pizza, I was watching a woman eating a plate of baked ziti. Damn!! I'm gonna be back to try it!!
- Pros: Authentic Boston style Pizza that satisfied my authentic Brooklyn taste buds.
- Cons: There should be a D'Amores in every neighborhood.

BEST PIZZA AND LASAGNA AND SALAD!
by 22hot2trot at Citysearch
Thanks for such a great experience! I have been eating this pizza for years and I never wrote a review. I saw the one where the guy said all this stuff about it being the worst pizza ever! He obviously must be a freak or maybe he works for for Dominos. This pizza is amazing!! How can anyone say anything but WOW! about this pizza. I like how they re-did the place too. This is their original "hole in the wall" and it's fun to see the pictures on the walls. I feel like I am in New York. Hope these guys stay in business forever. And I love that it's low fat! How is that possible? Something about the olive oil burns off when it cooks? Anyway, everyone should try D'Amore's at least once. And if for some reason, it isn't everything all the other reviews say it is there's always the smart people who realize no one's perfect and you can give 'em one more shot. Or you can just be a creep and just write bad reviews and show how miserable you are.
- Pros: BEST PIZZA
- Cons: could be in a better location. The neighborhood is getting run down
