amore' - a pizzeria

Seagrover, you were not dreaming. The owner's name is Amory (AM-or-e with the stress on the first syllable). Pretty clever to call the restaurant Amore, eh? Same name, different stressed syllable. I cannot wait for the temp to warm up a bit and I will see you on the deck. I may have to go to Amore tonight for my super-bowl pizza. I'll have to see how filling lunch is at the Red Bar first. ;-)

By the way, I understand that Amore just added Jenny to the lunch staff. She is another funn person that will take great care of you. ;-)

dang SJ!!! you are sure doing some eatin' this weekend! good for you... a little meat on those bones won't hurt a thing... :funn:

Hmmm. What is Project Runway? Who is this Tim fellow and what does the comparison imply :idontno: ?

It's a reality show on Bravo. Tim is the fellow who gives the designers vying to win the competiton their projects to design. His catch phrase is "Carry on...". Sorry to bore you, no implication...it just caught my eye!

but....:welcome: to you!

and i'm just one of those "fools" that offered a non-biased opinion and will spend an extra 20.00 on gas to have a good meal and get what i pay for.

I am fairly new to this board and initially I posted some thoughts without thinking and felt I got the same treatment, but you will find that the folks on this board are really, really nice people and very informed on most everthing in the area.

I think what they meant was why not put the extra 20$ on the quality without having to drive.

Personally, I don't mind paying the menu price for really good food and heck if most were like me, a couple slices, salad and a beer and I am stuffed (and no I am NOT skinny).

Give everyone a chance you will not only come to like them, you'll love em!

I love these food threads, too. Can't wait to try Amore and will probably do so when we're in SoWal the end of this month.

One way to support local restaurants even if you don't want to spend a lot of money is to get take-out from them and then go back to your porch and dine there. It's a good way to support the local restaurants, not have to cook, and not spend a bundle. We usually eat out about 1/3 of the time we're in SoWal, get take out about 1/3 of the time, and then cook (or eat left-overs from the take-out) the rest of the time. Since we're only in Sowal a week at a time or less, we end up having less food to buy (that we won't use up anyway). And, as someone said on another thread about how hard it is to clean and pack up the last day of the trip, planning to eat out or get take-out on the day or two before you leave is a great way to get piece of mind as well.

When we get take-out, we just call ahead and order the main meal and then use the drinks/desserts we have at home. Saves quite a bit of money (we have two kids to help put through college someday in the not-to-distant future). Certainly the restaurants don't make as much as when you eat at the restaurant, but it's still a way of supporting them.

We won't get take-out from Amore because we live on the other end of 30A (unless we decide to have a picnic on the beach on that end of 30A to try both a new beach and a new restaurant...hmmm...that's an idea), but we get take-out anywhere from Rosemary Beach to Seaside and it's still warm when we get home.

When tourist season arrives again in the near future, you can go to Amore for takeout pizza on Sundays and walk downstairs to the lawn and enjoy the concerts. It also will be cool to hear the music from sitting on the deck at Amore. ;-)

I'll have to find the calendar of dates/times for the concerts for this spring/summer. I like to recommend these excursions to guests (e.g., concert and pizza take-out). I put the business cards of places I really like and post them on the refrigerator. It's strange that for every two new restaurants/places I put up on the fridge when I get there, I usually have to take one or two off because they've gone out of business!

I am not sure of the dates, but I think they are Memorial Day through Labor Day for the Gulf Place concerts and in the past, they have been on Sundays from 7-9pm.

Thanks, I usually post all the concert/etc. dates for guests for Seaside, Rosemary Beach (not too much yet), Gulf Place, and now I think Village at So. Walton will have things. This thread has made me think I could add places to get good take-out near these events as well.

and the free movies at seaside on friday nights. i project them.

Our cottage is just around the corner from Amore and Gulf Place - the outdoor concerts are a big plus for our guests during peak season.

wow - 61 replies - this place must be awesome. Can't wait to go and taste some of their delicious delicasies!! :clap_1:

The owners of Amore are an example of the cool people to whom you are referring that are trying to make this place special and unique. If you want to keep the cool people around, you best make sure you support their businesses, which tend to employee even more cool people. I know two cool people who moved away in the last two weeks. If you want the plastic, keep supporting the chains and franchises and the world will be the same everywhere you go. Let's go to McDonalds in SoWal. They have the best french fries. Give me a break. You try to afford rents in Gulf Place by selling $5 dollar pizzas and you will go broke very quickly. You see, you don't sell things for a cheaper price than cost and expect to make up the difference on quantity. Personally speaking, people like TylerT would do just fine buying their pizza online from Papa Johns or Pizza Hut. That is just fine by me. There is a place for that, but, and thankfully, I don't remember either being in the 30A area of SoWal. I support local business when I can. I enjoy the sense of community it brings and the relationships of the many wonderful people who own the shops and the staff who keep it running. That is worth the price difference in most places. When I walk in the door of a place where the staff know me, I feel like I am home again. Never have I felt that on the rare occurance of walking into Wal-mart. I don't want SoWal to have one biga_ss store, named Walmart where you can shop to get everything you ever needed or wanted, including banking services, home buying, toothpaste, toilet paper, and fresh baked frozen pizza.

Just my loud and obnoxious $.02😀

amen brother!

I ate her in early December. Pricey, but some of the best pizza and paninis I have ever had. They were super nice, too. My mom and I were stopping for lunch while biking and couldn't take the left overs with us. They were ncie enough to hold them for us for 2 hours untul we could come back by car. Thansk amore!

Another lunch under my hat at Amore. YUMMY! Formaggio Pizza - a mostly normal, good pizza, but the Goat Cheese on top, really makes it fantastic. The Formaggio may rank number two on my list, right behind the Pesto Pizza. I luv that place. Thanks Amory, Amore, and Jenny (server)!

Getting a little personal on this one, eh? It made me smile! Thanks! :cool:

notail...:lolabove: "eat her"...😱 TMI!!!!

:welcome: notail...you type like me!!!

:shock: i just "tried" to eat lunch at amore today. After all the great reviews i thought it would be awsome but instead it was the worst meal i have ever had. i ordered a ceaser salad and i thought that salad was supposed to be green but i was mistaken. it was yellow!! it was the very inner part of the romane. the waitress took it back to the kitchen to ask about it and the chef sent the waitress out with the roman on a plate and said this is what it all looks like. again it was just the inner part. so we just asked for the bill and the girl brought out a bill for $12 even though the food was horrible and we couldn't eat it. the waitress felt so bad that she told us to just forget about it. thank god we didn't order the pizza yet!! Oh my, so disappointing.
