Thanks for the tasty food, Emory!




Amore has officially been SoWalled.

For those of you who have not visited Amore, you should definitely put it on your list of places to frequent. Great food, awesome staff, and a great outdoor dining deck as well as a cozy and friendly dining area inside.:wub: They have much more than pizza and will also host parties with special menus.
See the menu at www.amore-pizzeria.com

Did I mention that Amore is the only restaurant in SoWal where you can get a bucket of PBR for about $10? It is true. :clap_1:

EDIT: Amore is located above Resort Quest in Gulf Place (Hwy 393 and 30-A), just above the portico.

To clarify, I did not only take a picture of the food, I ate it, too! Yummy.

BTW, they do have wine and other beer selections. I just think the PBR thing is funn. Don't diss it if you have not tried it. The PBR has more flavor than most "American Rice Beers." :D

I happened to sit next to Matt - a chef at Amore - on my return flight from California over Christmas. Nice guy. Quiet. FYI, he said he was working on a catering menu to be available the first of the year. Yum! :drool:

Matt was working yesterday. I think he prepared the food in the photo, and did a fine job in my opinion. :clap_1:

Oh, I have been known to down some big Pizza Pies, but I shared a couple of slices of this pie with a cute red head. ;-)

Here is a mouth-watering photo for you salad lovers.

I thought, when I first saw that salad "That is the yummiest salad I have ever seen"

the pizzas are pretty good - but all the ones that have meat on them are $14 and up, which is really high for a 10" pizza I think - they're not big enough to share if you have a healthy appetite and two people ordering two pizzas and couple cups of wine will have a $60 or higher bill with tip - too high for a few slices of pizza and house wine in my opinion.

Pheasant Sausage wood-grilled pizza with Sweet Corn Puree, Crisp Pancetta, Poblano Peppers, Portabellos, Grated Muenster - $13 at cafethirtya

mellow mushroom 10" mighty meaty is $12 compared to their carne pizza with ham and pepperoni which is $17. You can get a Delmonico at Pandora's with a baked potato and salad for that!

for comparison


That's just me though.

Oh my!

Just ate at Amore and wow was it good! I'm pregnant - so of course I am appreciating food like never before.

I had the salad, which was made with fresh mozarella and was fabulous, and then the pepperoni pizza. YUM!

The salad had an excellent balsamic dressing and was prepared with fresh herbs.

By the by - I noticed on the menu that the pizza's aren't 10-inch, they are all at least 12-inches and are 8 slices per pizza. Even for a pregnant chick, I still had enough to split with my husband and bring home lunch for tomorrow.

So good ...

Mellow mushroom is expensive mediocre chain pizza. Beware of any eatery where you can more easily procure the t-shirt than the food.

Great owners.. enough said. well maybe not... support fine local people, who work their tails off to make a business successful.

sorry..i'm sure they're great people, but it's still too high for what you get. i support locals when their prices are reasonable.

So you will burn more gas and drive 1.25 - 5 hours round trip, depending on the time of year and time of day, to eat at the Mellow Mushroom to save maybe a buck? If so, I say go for it. You certainly have the right to eat where you choose. ;-)

Take a trip to a small town in Alabama, or NewYork City. It's all relative dude.

Prices are what they are. Quality is worth paying extra. And even if you do happen to get short changed by someone somewhere, you'll make it up on the flipside.

The Walmart mentality is ruining quality in this country. People cheapen their own lives by nitpicking prices to death, and then the next moment they waste money like it's flowing down the river. Get off the boat before you go over the falls.

SJ is right - you sound like one of those fools that drive acroos town, burning $4 worth of gas to save 9 cents at the pump.

i had lunch there yesterday. caprese salad and caramella with pesto instead of red sauce, and chicken. excellent. jeff installed the new bar and counters since i was there last also. they look great.

as mentioned above tyler, they may be a little more expensive than wherever you choose to go. but, i'd rather give my money to locals who are using first rate ingredients in an establishment where i feel at home and can walk right into the kitchen to chat with matt and amory.

"don't do us any favors?"...i get that there must be a lot of people on here who like the owners and that's cool, but to act almost insulted because i express a personal opinion in a non-personal way bugs me.

so mellow mushroom is full of stoners and cafe30a's pizza isn't edible and all other pizza competitors aren't as nice and won't let you hang out in there kitchen. i know this is a small place and you risk offending someone by offering an honest opinion that is based on my experience with the food and prices, but geeze.

so ok, i should support it because the people are nice and because even if the prices are high i would pay higher in New York City and they have great counters and you can walk in the kitchen and get seated quickly because there's hardly ever anyone there.... everyone can quit ganging up on me now..i'll tow the online family line...

it's a delightful place. :D
