Amicas Pizza & Microbrewery

Yes, I am still trying to play catch up for all of the writing I didn't do last month. Amicas Pizza & Micro Brewery has been a long time favorite of mine, since before I was old enough to drink, and that is longer ago than I would like to admit!



We all know that there is not much in the world that is better than beer and pizza, it's just a fact of life. They make some pretty damn delicious wood-fired pizzas (they even offer gluten free varieties). I am a pretty simple girl when it comes to my choice in Pizza, so I would recommend the basic Margherita Pizza. But I am also sure you can't go wrong with any choice you make. Now despite the fact that beer and pizza is always a great go-to idea, 9 times out of 10 I opt for an amazing Panini. The last trip that I made to Amicas was specifically for their 'Pan E Pollo Panini' (which if I remember my Italian, means bread & chicken, I could google the translation, but I'm not going to), which I have been eating for as long as I can remember.


The 'Pan E Pollo Panini' is 'Roasted chicken, pesto mayonnaise, provolone, shaved red onion, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers' (from Amicas menu). The paninis are not only decent sized, but they also come with a large salad as well.

If you are looking for something on the light side, they also serve some pretty good salads. I know, you're thinking isn't a salad just a salad? Well maybe you aren't, but I usually do. But let me tell you, the Spinach Salad (INSALATA SPINACI) is delicious (and I am not usually a big fan of salad), but between the pesto vinaigrette and the pine nuts, this is a salad that even I love.

And of course, I can't neglect the beer, it is a microbrewery as well as a restaurant. If you have read any of my other posts, you know that I love my micro-brews! Now despite my beer-snobbery (is that a word?), for my mid-day drinking I prefer a lighter ale type beer.


So at my last little lunch outing to Amicas, I had to go with my stand-by favorite, the Bomber Blonde Ale. But I do have to say that I am also quite fond of the Headwaters IPA, but once again you probably can't go wrong with any of the beers that you try.

And stay tuned for a future post about my homemade version of the chicken panini, I had planned on posting it with this post, but I don't currently have the ingredients, so it will have to be saved for another day. So much for catching up on my posting ;)
