| - I love pizza, thin, crispy crust or buttery, deep dish style, a truly great pizza aways has me wanting more! Most of all, I love, love, love, white pizza and Amelio's version is sheer, cheesy perfection!
I discovered Amelio's many years ago and I'm happy to say it's still as tasty as it was the first time I ate there!
The restaurant is a clean, simple type of place usually packed with students, parking is not always easy but it is worth having to walk a a few blocks, if necessary.
The waitresses are friendly, the owner's, two brothers, are as efficient as drill sergeants but they are doing something right because the line up goes through the door and they have been in business for decades!
Onto the pizza....
Their heavenly white pizza is decadent, cheesy and rich , a sensory experience contained in a light, flaky, buttery crust. Their dough has a different texture and taste then any other crust I've eaten and their medley of cheddar, brick, feta, ricotta and mozzarella is definitely a guilty indulgence.
They also include a little salad with your pizza, it comes in a little wooden bowl, nothing exciting, pretty close to a bagged mix with Kraft Italian dressing. This is a sad disappointment because I thoroughly enjoy a delicious, crisp, salad with pizza but oh well, they excell at what's most important!
I've also enjoyed their regular pizza, the sauce is zesty and fresh, the amount of cheese piled on is beyond plentiful and the end result is pretty addictive!
If you are looking for a refined type of pie, this is not it but they do not taste like the generic Pizza you usually find at most restaurants. Amelio's definitely has a distinct style of their own.
There are few pizza's that make me crave it days in a row after eating it but this white angel makes me obsessive about wanting more and more and more!
If I had a last meal on earth, this would definitely be part of the meal!
