Pizza Restaurants In Albuquerque - Fall in Love With Pizza Again

Albuquerque, NM – Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria, New Mexico’s first and only certified Neapolitan pizzeria, is excited to announce the opening of it’s newest location in Country Club Plaza, near Old Town. Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria and Vino will feature a more upscale environment and an expanded menu including more traditional Italian dishes, New Mexico beers on tap and, of course, a unique collection of fine Italian wines.

Amore is known for using the highest quality, local and organic ingredients for their food, and this new location will showcase even more of the fresh attention to detail that inspires every dish. As is the case at the the Green Jeans location, all of the dough, sauces, bread and mozzarella at Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria and Vino are made fresh, daily and on-site. The traditional pizza oven was hand-crafted with mud, ash and clay from Mt. Vesuvius for Amore, then shipped to Albuquerque from Naples, Italy. The oven, lovingly named “Claudia,” fires genuine Neapolitan dough, hand-formed and cooked in 60-90 seconds at 485 °C (905 °F).

The area around Country Club plaza has been rapidly expanding, and guests of Amore will have quick access to some of Albuquerque’s best attractions including Albuquerque Little Theater, the Bio Park, Tingley Beach, Old Town and Downtown Albuquerque.

Gabriel Amador, Amore owner and head pizza chef "Our Green Jeans Farmery location has been booming, and we can't wait to offer a second location in another really vibrant part of Albuquerque, " says Gabriel Amador, Amore owner and head pizza chef. He continues, "We look forward to expanding our menu and offering a more upscale environment, with an authentic Neapolitan vibe."

Gabriel and his wife and business partner, Kimberly, (who met and fell in love in Naples, Italy) were trained and mentored by Roberto Caporuscio, Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani President, owner and chef of Keste Pizza & Vino and Don Antonio by Starita, rated number 1 and 2 best NYC pizzerias by Zagats. To celebrate the grand opening of the new location, Caporuscio will be hosting a two night event "Dinner with the Masters" at Amore.

"Amore Neapolitan Pizzeria and Vino is the perfect restaurant for Country Club Plaza. Vinaigrette, Five Star Burgers, The Draft Station tap room have opened to open arms," adds Jay Rembe, Country Club Plaza developer and owner of Rembe Urban Design + Development. "The quality and distinction they bring to our market shouldn't be missed."
