About Ameci Pizza & Pasta in Saugus: Our Story, Slice by Slice
A family-owned pizzeria on Seco Canyon Road in Saugus, hand-tossing New York–style pizza and cooking pasta from scratch for Santa Clarita since 1988.
Our Story Your neighborhood pizzeria in Saugus
Ameci Pizza & Pasta at 28013 Seco Canyon Rd has been family-owned and operated since 1988, when Suzi and Maurice Rasson opened the Saugus kitchen. What started as a neighborhood pizza place is now where Santa Clarita families come for Friday dinner, team parties after the game, and office lunches during the week.
Everything Ameci Pizza & Pasta serves starts in its own Saugus kitchen: pizza dough made fresh every morning and hand-tossed to order, slow-cooked tomato sauce, whole-milk mozzarella, and pastas cooked when you order them. Regulars know us for the Meat Lovers, the Chicken Alfredo, and calzones big enough to share — and for a 4.5-star rating across 308 Google reviews. Order for pickup or delivery to Saugus, Valencia, Canyon Country, Newhall and Stevenson Ranch, or let us cater your next party with pasta trays, party salads and pizzas by the pie.
The Ameci name goes back to a New York pizzeria the Andrisano family opened in 1931, and to the Ameci Pizza & Pasta concept Nick Andrisano and Angelo Falato launched in Los Angeles in 1984. Our Saugus kitchen is a locally owned member of that family — same recipes, made by our own hands.

Our Quality Real ingredients, every time
Quality is Ameci Pizza & Pasta's first ingredient. The Saugus kitchen makes a handful of choices every day that cost more and take longer — and they're the reason our food tastes like it does.
Chicken
Ameci's Chicken Wings, Chicken Bites and Grilled Chicken Topping are made from chickens raised without antibiotics on an all‑vegetable‑grain diet — no animal by‑products. The Bites are 100% chicken breast meat.
Cheese
Ameci's deliciously melty mozzarella is made with whole milk from dairies we trust. No fillers, no fake cheese — just the real thing, melted fresh on every pizza.
Pizza Dough
Crusts are made fresh daily and hand‑tossed the traditional way. Our slow‑cooked tomato sauce, premium cheese and chef‑prepared toppings go on top — never shortcuts.
Our Values We run on PRIDE
Ameci Pizza & Pasta's Santa Clarita dining room runs on the same five ideas every day.
People
People make the difference — in our kitchen and at every table.
Respect
Respect others. For guests, partners and each other, it's non‑negotiable.
Integrity
Integrity in actions. What we promise is what we serve.
Dedicated
Dedicated employees who care about the pie they're putting in your hands.
Excellence
Excellence in all efforts — ingredients, service, community, every detail.
Forget the trendy pizza shops. This hidden spot makes the best New York‑style pizza slice around.— Stephen Tindle, Ameci Guest
