authentic, true pizza. awesome pizza! i'm from ny, and this is the best, mostrealpizza i've found west of the mississippi! i grew up with italians cooking up the best food on earth, and amore neapolitan pizzeria brings it home to abq.
amore's flavorful crust is absolute perfection, the high-quality sauce made with tomatoes imported from italy is pure goodness (not tarted-up with garlic salt or other cheats), and their fresh mozzarella all combine to create a symphony on the tongue.
some of you may recall the film "eat, pray, love" - the best part being the italian scene withrealneapolitan pizza: firm, but soft and alluring. amore's is therealdeal, authentic and delicious! check out their beautiful, red-tiled wood-burning oven. and man, does it cook up the pies fast! which is a fine thing when you're hungry and everything smells so good . . . in fact our amore margherita pizzas (the litmus test of pizza) were so completely scrumptious that we had to order a third. a first, in our book.
try to save room after your feast, for one of amore's scrumptious, innovative "dessert calzones." that glorious, versatile dough is a perfect, subtle pillow for decadent fillings. we inhaled the one with chocolate hazelnut filling gently sandwiched between two layers of that heavenly, light pizza dough, topped with confectioner's sugar and strawberries. we look forward to trying the calzone filled with sweet mascarpone cheese and honey, finished with confectioner's sugar, honey, and almonds. and then there's amore's tiramisu!
amore neapolitan pizzeria is a treat for those of us who are passionate about savoring authentic pizza and other italian treats, made with the best ingredients, by folks who truly care about their craft, preserving traditions, and creating superb food. we're looking forward to our next visit, and telling our friends about it! thank you :)
