"There’s pizza, there’s unique pizza, and then there’s Amar pizza. Reinventing an American classic is a tough task, but Amar’s genre-defying combinations are an extraordinary example of what can be done with dough, sauce, and toppings. Amar’s blisteringly hot naga and ghost pepper pizzas are not for the faint of heart, and its dried fish with roasted garlic, onions, and spicy fish paste is nothing to snuff at either. Choose from a pizza style: Amar offers everything from a Detroit-style square to a classic round. There’s also a funky selection of halal hot dogs and biryani if you’re not in the mood for a slice. Fans can also find Amar in Troy. This spot is primarily for takeout, and online ordering is available." - Mickey Lyons
"Amar is known for its creative pizza flavors that use Bangladeshi ingredients. However, the restaurant also dresses up its all-beef halal hot dogs from Saad Meats with those same toppings. Think: tandoori franks with cilantro and onions or spicy ghost pepper sauce-slathered hot dogs. Online ordering is available." - Brenna Houck
"Hamtramck offers a variety of options for Bangladeshi cuisine including the Bangladeshi-influenced takeout pizza shop Amar. Among the tandoori chicken pizzas and dried fish, the extra-spicy Ghost Pepper pizza topped with chicken, red onion, cilantro, and ghost pepper sauce has a serious fan base. There’s also a location in Troy. Online ordering is also available." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Hamtramck staple Amar Pizza fuses Bangladeshi, American, and Italian flavors into some really intriguing pies. Amar applies its own innovative twist on the old-school square pizza by placing sauce underneath the cheese rather than on top, as well utilizing traditional Bangladeshi ingredients, spicy chicken naga, fry fish, and for the spice lovers, a fiery ghost pepper. There’s also Chicago-style stuffed pizza. The best part is Amar is always open from noon to 11 p.m. for pickup and delivery daily, perfect for breaking fast with a spice pizza on a thin crust." - Serena Maria Daniels
