As the Mazzotta family (and any restaurant owner) will tell you, “longevity doesn’t happen by accident.” Providing good service and delicious pizza throughout Westchester since 1964, the owners of Amore Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen say they are “obsessed” with providing top-quality food in generous portions, over-delivering on service and setting reasonable prices.
While they won for their beloved wood-fired pizzas, which are available in various flavors and styles, Amore also serves paninis, wraps, subs, fresh pasta, salads, burgers and desserts—all homemade with premium ingredients. They also offer gluten-free and vegan options, and they even sell beer and wine. This isn’t a sit-down restaurant; their primary focus is on serving high-quality homemade food to go. But whenever we are there, we always see at least two people occupying some of the 25 seats they have inside. But mainly, village residents, commuters, shop owners and everyone in between enjoy Amore’s pizza (and other menu items) in the comfort of their own homes.

Gia Miller is an award-winning journalist and the editor-in-chief/co-publisher of Connect to Northern Westchester. She has a magazine journalism degree (yes, that's a real thing) from the University of Georgia and has written for countless national publications, ranging from SELF to The Washington Post. Gia desperately wishes schools still taught grammar. Also, she wants everyone to know they can delete the word "that" from about 90% of their sentences, and there's no such thing as "first annual." When she's not running her media empire, Gia enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, laughing at her crazy dog and listening to a good podcast. She thanks multiple alarms, fermented grapes and her amazing husband for helping her get through each day. Her love languages are food and humor.
