A’Amor’e Pizza

Went here for the first time last night, and I was overall happy that I tried it. My sister is a huge fan and eats here frequently. We got two pizzas. I do agree that the crust should have been cooked longer /​thicker, because the first half of each slice I had to eat with a fork and knife because it was all falling off. The taste was good, the toppings seemed like a good quality. It’s true that the atmosphere feels run down, but I guess they focus on the food, since I hear it’s very busy on the weekends. I’m glad I tried it, but it wouldn’t be my first choice when picking a restaurant.

Food is inconsistent and the staff acts like they could care less if you are there or not. With so many places to eat, it astounds me that management does not train waitresses to greet customers with a smile. I don’t mind waiting, but don’t just look at me then ignore me. A «I will be right with you «goes a long way. Also when you are waiting for a take out order (that should have been ready when you walked in the door) an offer of a drink while you wait would be nice. Anything to give the impression that they would like you to return would be an improvement at this place.

One of the worst pizzas, if not the worst, I have ever had. The mushrooms are not fresh, they are jarred. Somehow it was super greasy even without meat. Sauce is sweet and weird tasting, reminded me of jarred pizza sauce kids use to make pizza with. I was hoping that the half that was just cheese would be good since the jarred mushrooms ruined the other half. Cheese is not good quality, possibly where the grease came from but it seemed like a lot of grease from cheese. Dough was okay. My husband said it used to be good and nothing like what we had tonight.
For everyone saying it is good, you either don’t know what good pizza is or they changed it recently. And by changed it, I mean got super lazy because nothing was fresh.
Update: All 3 of us that ate it got sick. Only had 2 slices since it sucked. Slices from a large pizza aren’t very big, definitely NOT NY style, so luckily we didn’t eat much.

I saw the positive reviews on Unilocal and since my fiancé and I only live 2 minutes away, we decided to finally try it.
Let me justify the 3 stars by saying we really enjoyed the onion rings and the flavor of the pizza, but let me explain some of the upsides and downsides of this place.
The atmosphere is like a diner meets dive bar. I usually don’t care about décor as long as the food is good, but one thing that bugged me was that the place felt run down and stuffy. Old décor is find and all, but the place could use some proper cleaning.
The crowd of people were very friendly. They were true regulars and suggested we get pizza and beer battered onion rings.
Let me tell you that these were some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had. I enjoyed them thoroughly.
However, I had mixed feelings about the pizza. The flavors and sauce were awesome on our regular cheese pizza, but one of my issues was that it got kind of soggy toward the middle as though it could have used more cooking time. I would have liked it better had it been crispier on the bottom. Yep, I’m a pizza snob.
The service left something to desired. I didn’t feel as though my business was welcome, but our waitress did warm up to us at the end.
All in all, ³⁄₅. If the pizza is crispier, service a little friendlier, I will up the stars on my review.

I’m originally from Brooklyn NY and now living in Baton Rouge LA. Haven’t had decent pizza since I left NY. The pizza here was heaven good crust and tasty topping. My husband and I ate the, whole large pie. It was so good I smiled from ear to ear. Michele was our server and she listened to me gush over the pizza. Come as you are. The place doesn’t waste energy working on the décor but puts forth it’s effort on the food. The place was filled with regulars. Families welcome. Thanks for making our trip to Florida worth it. Signed a Brooklyn Italian girl.

AWESOME PIZZA!
I know that’s a huge claim but it’s based on numerous visits, many people I work with and multiple times we ordered it in for an office lunch. This place has stood up to the test or time as we’ve gone year after year and it’s still consistent and just plain amazing. For a group that can never agree on anything for lunch, everyone always agrees upon this. I know that’s subjective, but really… how often does that happen?
Try their meat lovers. all fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked. Nice thin/​crispy crust and burn-​the-​top-​of-​your-​mouth cheese… mmmmm
I cannot review any other of their products, I’ve only had their pizza.
Other points of note:
They carry both coke and pepsi products.
Tons of lunch specials
If you’re by yourself, they have a old-​school type bar you can pull up to
Order by the slice
