Heard from someone that this was the best pizza that they had in Delaware. Now I have heard that about other places too so I was a bit skeptical. After all the addition "best in INSERT NAME" isn't always the most inspiring description.
However, Amore Pizza was really good and is one of my favorite pizza places now. The crust was thin and crisp without being overcooked or doughy. There was bright and tangy tomato sauce spread over the pie. Lots of thick, warm, and gooey cheese.
Sausage was sweet with a rich meaty taste and no gristle. Pepperoni was mild and definitely overshadowed by the sausage. Mushrooms were fairly standard. Onions were sliced thinly but large strips with a good bite to them, but still with a roasted sweetness.
Highlight was the olives. It was of a mix of black and Kalamata olives. While the Kalamata olives were meaty and rich with a good brine that didn't over power the cheese or other ingredients. Not gourmet kalamata (which would have been a waste in a pizza) but a nice change of pace.
Overall I thought the pizza was well made with a good sauce and high quality toppings. I think that Amore will be one of my favorite pizza places along with Ciao. The crust and sauce were slightly different, not necessarily better but different. The Kalamata olives were a definite plus.

They do offer a good amount of seating with free wifi which makes it seem like a good place to sit and make check your email or surf the web while having some coffee or lunch.
Soups and bread bowls (one of my favorite deli items) are good but the soup menu rotates on a daily basis. Check the online menu for what soups are available before heading in if you are looking for a particular soup.
Had to try to the dorito's taco. Not impressed the shell made of nacho cheese Doritos had a lack of crunch. Other then that it was just a regular old Taco Bell taco, more gimmick then good addition.

First of all the fried chicken is made when ordered, this was a pleasant surprise. They also vent the take out box so that your chicken remains crispy and doesn't get all soggy from the steam.
The white meat chicken was well cooked. The coating was just thick enough to offer substance but not too thick to reach a doughy mouth feel or consistency. It was crisp and flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy, a good contrast to the skin and coating. They achieved a good balance with the chicken, I was impressed and pleased.
Fried okra side was good. The okra was juicy with a slight resistance to it, not quite a crunch. The breading was even and well fried. Great side dish that I enjoyed but don't have a large frame of reference for to compare.
The kale greens were sumptuous. They were well done with an even texture; no hard rinds or stems in the whole serving. There was a rich flavor and a good amount of salt to bring out the kale flavor. This was one of the better kale greens that I have enjoyed and would return for this.
Got an extra side of mac and cheese. The cheese was smooth with very little clumping. The noodles were well done and retained just enough al dente mouth feel despite the cooking and baking preventing a mushy dish.
Corn bread was moist with a tight crumb that had a clean cornbread taste. The staff was friendly and quick.
Overall I would return here again and plan to work through some other menu items, but the kale greens are a must.
They also have that irritating underseat supports that don't split evenly so if I am on the end I get a very small underseat storage area. Just an inch or so too small to fit my computer bag.
Sausage and pasta was average. The pasta itself was standard cooked okay. The noodles were not pasty or hard, just a bit past al dente. The red sauce was a a bit flat and lacked bright or spicy notes. Perhaps the pizza is the better dish to go with here, I will have to give it a try next time.

This is a nice dry cleaners that is nearby my work place. I enjoy coming here. The prices are reasonable and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
My clothes are always taken care of well for dry cleaning. When I drop off shirts for cleaning and pressing they do a great job, just a small bit of starch to keep the collar and cuffs crisp.
I continue to come here not only because it is convenient but because they do good work.
The new pizza recipe is okay and this outlet seems pretty stable from a chain standpoint. But there are many other options that are are higher on my list.
The actual location is fine. The area is clean, easy to get to, and parking. This location is only for delivery and takeout, there is not dine in area here.
The best thing about Domino's is the online ordering and customization of your pizza. I always get nervous about ordering custom toppings on the phone and seeing what is really there when I pick it up.

i have eaten at Amore Pizza multiple times since my first review over a year ago. Since then my opinion of Amore Pizza has settled into an average of 4 stars. The pizza remains one of my favorites for all the reasons I have mentioned in my original review.
They continue to rate 4 stars each time I eat there and I enjoy eating their pizza.
