Please rest assured, my friend, that we use actual prosciutto. We have our own meat slicer and Am slices it himself. I asked him about it and he said he thinks he slices it thin but is also conscious of the fact that people want to taste the meat. He doesn't want folks to feel like he's being too skimpy!
It was like the formed ham lunchmeat rolls that's sliced thin for sandwiches (like at Subway) and then cut in little pieces and sprinkled on top of the pizza. The kind of "ham" topping I would expect from Papa John's.
Like this:
If this rolled and sliced ham product is what they normally use on their Prosciutto pizza, they could get away with calling it such on the menu since "prosciutto" is Italian for ham--but I think that might be pushing the envelope just a bit and they just went down a notch in my book.
That's why I responded to let you know that, NO, we are not serving you Subway luncheon meat to cut costs. Amory cuts it himself. We have not compromised any of our ingredients to improve profits margins. If we were feeling the impact of a down economy, I think we'd rather raise the prices and keep our quality consistent! Nuthin's changed.
Sorry you weren't satisfied. Next time you go in, ask Am to show you the proscuitto. I'm sure he'd be happy to!;-)
No, no, no!...I wasn't referring to your place....my post was about Fat Clemenza! (Scroll back to post #36)
....but now that you've thrown down the gauntlet--I'll have to make a point to swing by Amore for a REAL Prosciutto pizza!
