Delicious dish from Amore Mio Pizza in Garner, NC. Blog written by Jami Amidon, Local foodie and Realtor

I could not wait to sit down and write this article about Amore Mio Pizza in Garner. Long overdue for this side of town! I actually stumbled across a raving fan’s post on Facebook and had to go see what all the fuss was about.

Henry Cortez, the owner from Columbia saw the need for an authentic pizza restaurant in the 40/42 Garner- Clayton area. It is just like I experienced in Italy. While Henry was on vacation, he fell in love with the food. Knowing there is nothing like it in the area, he jumped in with both feet and hired an Italian chef to come teach his staff how to make his authentic Italian menu. He nailed it. This little place is so cute. Very trendy, albeit tiny, with a European vibe.

The modern pizza oven is not woodfired, but it still gets hot enough to bake pizza properly and the ingredients are very fresh. I had the Umberto Pizza with fresh arugula and prosciutto, and a Burrata appetizer. YUM!

They are tucked away, but don’t let that fool you. BB, the waitress said it gets pretty crazy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Go check them out and show them a Little Local Love!
