Pizz'Amore — Restaurant in Leysin

We drove an hour to get to Pizz'Amore, passing several pizza restaurants along the way, based solely on the Google reviews. It was worth every minute of the drive, and we'll probably do it again before leaving Switzerland.

The couple that runs the place are clearly foodies and passionate about every ingredient of every item on the menu. That passion extends to the immaculate restaurant, the superb kitchen equipment, the dishes and cutlery, the presentation of the food, and the rapport they establish with customers.

All of the ingredients are fresh, and either local or from Italy (which is only 30 minutes away, so it might qualify as local). Everything from the flour to the spices is tasted and hand-selected by the owners.

The wine list is short but includes powerful choices from good-medium to high-end superb, according to your taste and budget. All of the selections are wines that the owners like themselves, which just adds to the way that the food and drinks combine to make a meal.

I complimented our server, one of the owners, on the creamy-tangy house salad dressing only to find out that she made it herself. Of course she did - what was I thinking? The salad itself was simple, just ultra-fresh greens and that fantastic dressing.

The Super Calzone included ham, bacon, mozzarella, and mushrooms, topped with raclette. The roman-style crust was cooked to perfection and is a great contrast to the neapolitan offerings that seems so prevalent everywhere else.

We finished with the Swiss Choco Brownie served with vanilla ice cream, dusted with confectioner's sugar and served on a stone plate. The brownie was barely sweet, accenting the chocolate flavor, the walnuts, and blending perfectly with the vanilla.

Make no mistake. This isn't just a pizza joint. It is a high-end gastronomic experience. Overall, Pizz'Amore is sensational. It's a bit of a hike up the hill but absolutely worth whatever it takes to experience...

Pretty good pizza, the crust is a bit thick but the flavours are really well complimented especially with the spicy olive oil. The diner itself is cozy. Lacks certain furniture however has a good energy especially at nights. Both owners are sweet people. In terms of quality calabre is definitely preferred as an unmatched pizza contestant however there is much room for improvement at pizza amore to make it a very tough competitor. Recommend playing more into Italian classics and taste as they already have for that extra edge.

Pizza with a view! My family went to grab dinner and left with way more! Martina and her husband not only make a great meal but their passion for what they do is inspiring. Our family went with pizza and calzone, and I went with a house speciality, the Martina! It did not disappoint and the crust was PERFECT! We chose to take our meal to go because the evening weather kept us from wanting to be inside. Martina even showed us a great place to enjoy our meal! We will definitely be...
