Mother’s Day is just around the corner—and if you’re looking for a celebration that feels both heartfelt and delicious, we’ve got just the thing: Pizza by the Bay at Amici’s. Whether she’s the queen of crusts, the first to snag the last slice, or just loves a good view with her vino, Amici’s has all the ingredients for a Mother’s Day she’ll remember (and request again next year).
Here’s how to turn a classic Sunday into an unforgettable celebration—Amici’s style.
Start with the Setting: Bay Views & Laid-Back Vibes
There’s something magical about sitting down for a meal near the water, and Amici’s at Pier 39 is about as close as you can get. With views of the Bay, a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, and that unbeatable San Francisco charm, it’s the perfect spot to treat Mom to something special.
Whether you're sipping chilled rosé as the sea lions bark in the distance or soaking up sunshine on the patio, this is Mother’s Day dining that feels like a mini getaway.
Pro tip: Book a table early and ask for a waterfront seat — those views are just as memorable as the menu.
Kick Things Off with Something to Share
Every great celebration starts with a few irresistible bites. Warm, welcoming, and made to share — our starters and salads are the perfect way to celebrate your Mom.
Here are a few Amici’s favorites to kick off her special day:
Minestrone Soup (Vegetarian): Hearty, comforting, and full of garden-fresh flavor. The kind of warm hug that’s perfect to start the meal.
Garlic Bread: Golden, crisp, and irresistible. It’s a simple classic that never disappoints (especially when shared).
BBQ Style Chicken Wings or Flame Roasted Lemon Wings: Whether she’s into smoky-sweet or zesty-bright, these wings deliver flavor in every bite.
And for a refreshing balance, don’t skip the salads:
Garden Salad or Artichoke Panzanella: Both vegan, both delicious. One is crisp and classic, the other is full of bold textures and Italian flair.
Caesar Salad or Spicy Southwestern: For moms who love a punch of flavor with their greens.
Pair a few of these to create a first-course spread she’ll rave about. Because at Amici’s, the best way to say “we love you, Mom” is with something delicious—shared family-style, of course.
Let Her Pick the Pie (or Surprise Her with a Favorite)
This is the moment we all wait for: the pizza. Our pizzas are baked to golden perfection in our signature brick oven, delivering crispy edges, bubbly cheese, and bold, beautiful flavors in every bite. Whether your mom leans toward the traditional or likes to try something new, we’ve got a slice with her name on it.
Some Mother’s Day favorites
Margherita Pizza: Fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and love.
Milano Pizza: Roasted Yukon gold potatoes, bacon, provolone, and garlic. Comfort in every bite.
Pesto Pizza Pizza: Herbaceous, cheesy, and irresistibly green.
Veggie Pizza (Gluten-Free Option Available): A rainbow of fresh roasted veggies for the health-conscious mom who still loves pizza night.
Want to go the extra mile? Order her pizza on a gluten-free crust or swap in Daiya vegan cheese — we’ve got options for every dietary need, without compromising flavor.
Don’t Forget the Pasta
Not every mom is a pizza mom — and that’s okay. Our pastas are equally swoon-worthy.
Fettuccine Alfredo: Creamy, rich, and made for comfort.
Cheese Ravioli with Pesto: Soft pillows of cheesy goodness coated in vibrant, homemade pesto.
Spaghetti & Meatballs: A classic that hits every time.
Each dish is crafted with love (and maybe a little garlic), perfect for moms who want something hearty but elevated.
Final Slice: Celebrate the Way She’d Want
At the heart of Mother’s Day isn’t just flowers or cards — it’s quality time, shared laughter, and memories made over a great meal. At Amici’s, we believe nothing brings people together quite like good food, warm conversation, and a view that makes you pause and smile.
Dine In or Take It Home
Can’t make it to our San Francisco location at Pier 39? No worries. Our full menu is available for takeout and delivery — perfect for creating your own celebration, wherever you are. Please note that we don’t deliver from Pier 39, but you can order from our other locations here or pick it up from Pier 39. From a cozy movie night to a backyard pizza party, you can still give Mom the Amici’s experience with just the right personal touches: fresh flowers, a favorite playlist, and maybe even a handwritten note.
And yes, it still tastes just as good in sweatpants.
Make a Reservation—She Deserves It
Mother’s Day is one of our most special—and most popular—days of the year. If you’re planning to join us at Pier 39, be sure to book ahead. Whether it’s an intimate lunch for two or a full family gathering, we’re here to serve up great food, great vibes, and the love she deserves.
This year, skip the chaos of crowded brunch spots and treat her to something more meaningful: Pizza by the Bay, good company, and a celebration that feels like her.
