Amici's East Coast Pizzeria

As a locally owned business with 12 convenient Bay Area locations, Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria is a natural partner for Check Please! Bay Area. Since opening their first location in San Mateo over 20 years ago, owners Peter Cooperstein and Mike Forter have made the support of local community causes an integral part of Amici’s business philosophy.

Together, the two East Coast natives have carefully built a group of restaurants offering a taste of the Northeast’s distinctive Italian fare, including their authentic, thin-crust, brick oven pizzas, along with freshly made pastas and salads, many from old family recipes.

As well as a smart, casual restaurant for a quick business lunch, or an evening meal out with family and friends, each Amici’s location offers takeout, and delivery to local homes and businesses.
