and they have always been closed on Tuesdays, but I think I saw an add recently that they will be open for lunch on Tuesdays... Where is our precious Olive?
Did you know they are more than 50 threads mentioning AMORE?
Amore is very good, no doubt. But it's just too far a drive if you are staying in in Seagrove or points east (at least for takeout). Spicy Noodle is pretty decent if you are on that end of 30-A
Exactly. You can enjoy Chicago pizza while still indulging in the 5 star dining right around the corner the next night! Most who visit Chicago, do exatly that. Gino's is one of the oldest, too.I used to love Gino's in Chicago. Never missed it when we were there, even though we also visited the five-star restaurants in Chicago, so it's not as though we have no sense of taste.
But my taste buds have gravitated towards a thinner crust with just the right amount of yeastiness, yet crispiness. My favorite pizza is the appetizer at Floataway Caf? in Atlanta with the perfect microgreens on top, along with other toppings. But Amor? is pretty good in comparison. When in Italy, I like a thin pizza Margherita, heavy on the fresh basil.
Some Chicagoans swear by Chicago deep-dish pizza as being the "end all, be all." Some of it is really very good. And you hear disagreements & comparisons regularly. I've never tasted any from NY so can't judge theirs; it's probably wonderful. But it is all a taste preference. Like some Italian spaghetti sauces, their regions of Italy, etc. Mr. JR (born and reared in Chicago) does not like deep-dish, Chicago style pizza. Thinks it's all a bunch of hype.
But actually, Chicago pizza is probably thier claim to fame in the food department. ;-)
Olive, Olive...remember to post a secret word for this Saturday because we're going to try to stop by for pizza on the way into town from Fort Walton airport! Can't wait -- that caramelized onion pizza is making my mouth water already.
