dunno if this is the right place to post this, (and maybe theres a thread about this out there somewhere) but what happened to amores on hillsborough street?

that place was THE BEST and when i drove by it on sunday, i saw cardboard over the windows and all....


it would absolutely SUCK if that place doesnt open again. whenever i have friends/family come into town, thats where we would go eat....


if anyone knows the story, please post.

and they often go for shorter hours and whatnot in the summer anyway, so it's not surprising they'd choose summer to shut down for remodelling.

7/19/2006 11:04:04 AM

had no idea. didnt drive by slow enough to see the sign. i think it was the shock that it was all cardboarded up...

7/19/2006 11:04:46 AM

all of the pizza places sell the same pizza, but that place had the best interior so it has the edge

7/19/2006 11:05:33 AM

that is a completely erroneous statement. sylvia's, farmhouse, and brothers (or is two guys that is still open? i haven't been to either in years) have very different pizza. ny pizza, while the same style, is pretty different too. amore's is the best on the street if it's fresh. unfortunately, they're not as popular as some of the other places, so if you go at a non-peak time, the pizza will be old.

7/19/2006 11:07:52 AM

no really- it's all the same

7/19/2006 11:42:15 AM

Yeah, I called there the other day and got a message that they were closed for the summer.

7/19/2006 11:46:27 AM

talked to sylvia (pizza man) and he said they don't make any money during the summer, so they close. they'll be open again for the fall.

You can always ask for a fresh personal pizza.

And yea Amore's is adding a full bar (they got a liquor license), it's going to be more of a pub atmosphere aka Ruckus, later hours and live music.

Basically it's going to be more awesome than it already is, and it will be considerably bigger

no, it's not fag

7/19/2006 4:19:38 PM

I really dislike their seating (with the exception of the couches). It's like they hired an Indian to do their interior designing.

7/20/2006 8:37:08 AM

if you think that pizza is all the same you do not have taste buds for good pizza

amores is very good, some of the best NY style around

I love NY is god awful around here, they use some real greasy ass cheese, it is nasty

7/20/2006 8:44:32 AM

^and they keep upping the price of the special

7/20/2006 8:50:44 AM

^^^ yeah, those chairs in the main dining room are soooo messed up. you'd have to break your back to actually be able to use the back of the chair. i usually sit at the couches or in the room with the pool table.

^^the man speaks the truth.

7/20/2006 8:51:56 AM

yeah everytime i go in there when i am in that section of town i seem to pay more, i only go once every couple months, wish it wasnt so far away, i miss good pizza

even with higher prices it is well worth it, but i am not in college anymore so i can see where it may become a problem for the students possibly

7/20/2006 8:56:43 AM

amores used to have significantly better pizza than the avg hills. joint.

over the course of the past few years however, you cannot argue that it hasnt degraded. they used to give nice thick slices on the special, but the last few times i went before i left town it was the same 1/4" thick no sauce havin' barely cheesed junk as i love ny.

which is ultra dissapointing.

7/20/2006 8:57:10 AM

i have noticed that too but the pizza still tastes the best, might be less filling but i would rather have something that tastes good

too much cheese is bad for you anyway, not that pizza is good for you either

7/20/2006 9:05:30 AM

oh i cant say it wasnt still better than i love ny,

but, wasnt as much better as it used to be.

7/20/2006 9:07:42 AM

I may have misread

but none of the hillbo places are very good, edge going to amore

but there are FAR superior places of the similar style in other places I have been

7/20/2006 1:59:05 PM

i think amores is the best on hillsborough st.

i've never really liked i <3 ny pizza, and sylvias is ok sometimes, their service kinda sucks too

plus like nothing22 said, they have the best interior by far

7/20/2006 2:20:23 PM

If you want some real pizza go to Ledo's on Hillsborough St. next the YMCA

7/20/2006 8:39:42 PM

amedeos was open last summer i went there all the time after class during summer school

If you live off campus, try getting pizza from NY Pizza at Tryon and Cary Parkway. Don't think they will deliver to campus or nearby apartments, but it is MUCH better pizza that is a similar style to Amore's, I Love NY Pizza, etc.

7/20/2006 9:34:08 PM

^^^too bad amedeo's sucks.

7/21/2006 8:38:02 AM

Its better than Two Guys pizza.

7/21/2006 8:48:25 AM

i haven't had two guys in so long. . . but that's probably true
