Default Amore is must try in Queens

Amore Pizza in Flushing near LGA has a claim as best in Queens. The quintessential NYC style slice.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn JFK in September for two nights, it was perfectly acceptable. Not the greatest hotel ever or anything but free hot breakfast and I had UberEats delivered. There's also a mini-fridge in the rooms and a microwave you can use in the dining area so you can just get stuff delivered from UberEats grocery or convenience options if you don't want the restaurants.

I can back that statement up. Amores is off the chain good. I always stop there when any where remotely close by.

I second this. I would avoid that area like the plague. Dirty, run down... The hotels must be disgusting there.

I do not know of any pizza sauce recipe excluding oregano. This includes store brought. Yuk!

Other than a sauce less pizza slice which can be thrown together while making a grandpa or grandma pie , I have no answer.


Best Wishes.

My one problem is I really hate Oregano. So, I am looking for a place I get a couple of slices (or a whole pie if necessary) they is thin crust, good cheese, nice simple sauce, but most importantly doesn't cover the thing in Oregano or overload their sauce with it. I will probably have to take an uber to get anywhere anyways, so anywhere in the general Queens area will be OK with me.
Have you tried calling a place and specifically order a pizza without oregano added?

For a topping, yes. For the sauce? That is usually premade (it has to be). So no, not sure that would be realistic.


Actually, the Oregano think is really a New York thing. Most others don't use much of it, if at all.Oregano is more a Greek thing than Italian, it was just something that happened to be available here in the early part of the century.


To give you a good idea of what I like as a Pizza, the Regina Pizza chain out of Boston is a good example.

So then don’t eat pizza while you are briefly here in NY. There’s lots of other foods to choose from.

BTW, have you considered staying in that new Resorts casino hotel? I think it would be just a bit more upscale than those airport ones. It is near the JFK area.

I believe there is an A train stop there too that goes to the Airtrain to JFK.
