The Best Pizza in Issaquah and around

by AndreaBerlini

This is the best pizza I have ever eaten. We had Spartacus pizza,it was very good and very tasty. For desert we had Tiramisu which was again the best Tiramisu we have eaten so far. We will definitely return to try other dishes.

Great neighborhood restaurant

by Pianoguy

The pizzas are very tasty, with a lot of good ingredients. I wish there were a few more selections for the traditional flavors, but you can customize. The chicken parmegian was wonderful, although I'm certain it was not prepared on premises. Thechicken was a tad dry, but very delicioso. The house wine is fabulous and you get a really full glass for a very decent price. Worth the trip for a glass! The basic sauce can't be beat by any restaurant in Seattle, it's that good. Love the pizza dough. Calzones are HUGE and stuffed with goodies. No skimping here! Be prepared to take home half! Get brave, try one of the specials with seafood ingredients. You won't be disapointed. Staff friendly, but overworked during rush time.

Definitely the best Italian food on the east side

by bartdacat

We found Amante off the beaten path, just off Gilman, and boy were we glad we did. After trying every other pizzaria around Issaquah, as well as a foray into the other "popular" Italian eateries, none of them have compared with the food we found at Amante.

The setting was remarkably small, and really casual, which made me wary... until I tasted the food. The delicious food made up for everything else that I might have had reservations about.

They have by far the best pizza in town, their menu is very extensive with a lot of traditional and favorite pasta preparations, the service is very friendly, and they have a menu board at the front with daily specials, which are usually something worthwhile and delicious.

Amante's Issaquah location is one of those places that makes it unnecessary to trek into downtown Seattle for good food.

• Pros: Extensive menu, delicious food, best pizza in Issaquah
• Cons: No significant cons worth mentioning.
