Amici Pizza Might Be Taking Over in Queen Creek—And It’s a Big Deal

by Jessica Vukobratovich

According to my sources, there’s something exciting brewing in Queen Creek… and it involves one of the most talked-about pizzerias in Arizona.

It looks like Amici Pizza—yes, the one with the viral TikTok following and rave reviews—is planning to open a new location at Signal Butte and Ocotillo, potentially taking over the former Duck Donuts space.

Nothing’s been officially announced yet, but let’s just say the signs are there—and if you know how fast Queen Creek is growing, this move makes a whole lot of sense.

A Mesa Staple With a Cult Following

If you’ve ever been to the original Mesa location, you already know what makes Amici different. It’s New York-style pizza, done right. Hand-tossed dough. House-made sauce. No shortcuts. Just real, honest food from people who care.

They’ve built a loyal fan base the old-school way—by making great pizza. But in the last year, they’ve taken things to a whole new level…

Amici has quietly become a social media powerhouse. Their TikToks—everything from dough-stretching to pizza-box folding—have racked up over 300,000 followers and 20+ million views.

People are obsessed. It’s not just about the food (though the food is 🔥). It’s the behind-the-scenes feel, the family-run vibe, and the fact that it all just feels… authentic.

🎥 Dave Portnoy Even Stopped In

That’s right—Dave Portnoy, the man behind Barstool’s “One Bite” pizza reviews, showed up at Amici and gave their slice his honest (and pretty solid) breakdown. You can watch the full review online, but let’s just say… he didn’t hate it.

That review alone sent even more people through their doors. Check out his review here -----> Watch!

Why Queen Creek Makes Sense

Again—this hasn’t been officially confirmed. But if what I’m hearing is true, Amici is getting ready to expand into Queen Creek’s exploding downtown corridor, with the proposed location sitting right at Signal Butte & Ocotillo.

And let’s be real: Duck Donuts recently closed, the space is vacant, and it’s right in the middle of one of the busiest, fastest-growing intersections in town. If you're going to bet on a next move, this is it.

No official announcement yet—but if Amici is headed to Queen Creek, it’s going to be big. Think family hangouts, pizza nights, and a place you’ll want to claim as your new go-to.
