For years, I've wanted to try Amore Taste of Chicago. My husband has eaten here before, but it was my first time, finally, on Friday afternoon, around 2:30 P.M! Amore is located near W Flamingo Road and South Durango Drive. It's in a large plaza with plenty of parking spots!

As we walked into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by a team member and were provided a table. There weren't many customers inside the restaurant when we had arrived. The restaurant is quite spacious, though! There are so many tables to eat at! There are also large TVs scattered throughout the entire restaurant! Most of the TVs were playing sports at the time. We were watching a tennis match!
We already knew that we wanted to try out the deep dish from Amore. When the team member provided us menus, we let her know that we immediately wanted a large deep dish, half cheese, and the other half pepperoni and sausage. While that was cooking, we looked over the menu to order something else!
Their menu offers a wide range of pizzas, dinner entrees like stuffed shells, cheese ravioli, gnocchi, fettucine alfredo, soups, salads, classic sandwiches like the Italian Beef, Beef and Sausage Combo, Meatball, and so much more! You can even get appetizers like fried onion rings, fried pickles, and fried Raviolis! For desserts, some of the options you can choose from are cannolis, brownie sundaes, ice cream sundae, and a lot more delicious sweets!
After looking over their menu, we also ordered their Specialty XL BBQ chicken pizza. The BBQ chicken pizza had BBQ sauce, chicken, red bell peppers, onions, and fresh garlic. This took about 25 minutes to bake! This pizza came out first to our table.
The BBQ chicken pizza was so good! This was my favorite pizza of the evening. The thin style pizza crust was cooked perfectly. It was crispy on the edges! There was so much fresh garlic on the pizza. You could taste it, even with the sweet honey bbq sauce as a base! The cheese, bell peppers, and the onions were yummy too! I ended up having about 3 slices of this pizza before the deep dish pizza arrived!
When the deep dish pizza arrived at our table, the pizza was already pre-sliced. You could see the oils in the middle of the pizza. This made the center crust really soggy. When I took a bite of the deep dish cheese pizza, you couldn't really taste any of the crust since it was soggy until you got to the middle of the pizza. The marinara sauce was sweet! You could taste all of the tomato flavoring in the sauce. It was really good.
We had a lot of pizza leftovers for several days! Warming up the deep dish, we warmed up in the oven for about 30 minutes. This was perfect for the deep dish! For the BBQ chicken pizza, the air fryer worked the best!
The service was great at Amore, though! The team members at Amore followed up with us several times, asking if we needed refills on our drinks!
The food was pretty good here. The price wasn't too bad either for the 2 pizzas, 1 large and 1 XL! Next time I stop by here, I'll have to try their stuffed pizza!
