| - Being a Chicago pizza fan Amore was the first pizzeria I checked for Chicago pizza.
For me true Chicago Pizza is Giodrano's, Lou Malnati's and Gino's East. It is difficult to find true Chicago pizza outside of Chicago. Amore does a good job with their pizza though, especially if you can't travel all the way to Chicago!
The stuffed pizza is huge and heavy. The outer crust is about 2.5 inches thick (or should I say tall), nice and crispy, the bottom crust is relatively thin and chewy but manages to hold all the ingredients. There's plenty of cheese and all the other toppings tasted fresh. Their sausage is particularly good, having a nice sweet taste of fennel. The sauce has a nice chunky texture and balances sweetness and tanginess pretty well. The pizza is greasy, at least if it has sausage (due to the huge size and amount of toppings) but also very satisfying, believe me if you are hungry and think you can easily eat a normal 14" pizza, you'll probably only be able to eat half of the 14" Amore pie.
Note if you order a stuffed pizza to eat in or take out, the pie takes 45 mins to cook.
The indoors sitting area is decorated with all sorts of pictures and memorabilia from Chicago, overall pretty clean and good service.
If you want Chicago pizza in Las Vegas, Amore is probably the only real choice (along with Rosati's maybe, and I'd say Pietown but it's closed for now). Their pizza is big, has plenty of toppings and is very satisfying. It's the next best thing if you can't travel all the way to Chicago.
