Amoroso's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Avon

Amoroso's Pizzeria is an Italian restaurant located in the Old Avon Village plaza. It is in the former Hot Heaven location; it's right by the gazebo and oversized rocking chair. The building is cute, it looks like an old house. The liquor store is right in the same building. There were plenty of parking spots when I went.

My family and I ordered takeout from there. Ordering online and picking up was seamless. We had their 6 pc house wings; I really enjoyed those, it was sweet and tangy. I am assuming it's a mix of BBQ and buffalo.

We also had the small sweet and smokey pizza; this pizza had shredded mozzarella, bacon, fig jam, and ricotta cheese. We really enjoyed it; the sweetness from the fig jam and salty from the cheese and bacon, were a match made in heaven. There were so many other pizzas on their menu I wanted to try.

Inside was cozy, it appears you can dine in also. The service and employees were friendly. I will definitely order...

What a great addition to Avon village! The food is outstanding! I absolutely recommend trying The renovations that were recently completed are beautiful and so welcoming. You can BYOB, or you can order beer and wine there. We had some focaccia bread with a meatball appetizer and of course had to try wings. So far absolutely impressed. The sauce with the meatballs was very flavorful and had a little spice but not overwhelming. The wing sauce was their own homemade sauce that was sweet heat buffalo, not super spicy, flavor is perfect for everyone!

For meals we shares a new pizza special the just started, the ‘Sweet Hot Roma’ this pizza was bursting with flavor! And their pizza is also available in gluten free. We also shared some house made gnocchi which was unlike any gnocchi I’ve had before. It was really light, and pillowy, definitely a must try dish.

The owner is the nicest guy, if this was in our hometown, I’d be ordering several...

So I just met Jon who is the new owner of this location. Previously Hot Heaven,Jon and Amoroso"s could not be more different and in all the right ways!. I'm a Pizziola so I know my pie and when I ask ingredients and gett All the right answers,that's a win! Grande Mozz(hands down best Mozz for pizza). What tomatoes I ask and again with the right answer...pasta sauces are San marenzano and the Pizza sauce is plum..as it should be! How bout pasta.. no I didn't get to order pasta this time but I will when I heard the gnocchi are made fresh in house!.Hot Heaven is dead(thank you Jon)..long live Amaroso's! As respectable a pizza as anywhere and that from a CT Pizziola! Not every pie is gonna have the same 'char"we like to talk about here in Connecticut but with a real pizzaiola and chef who knows what he's making with the best of ingredients, this new little Italian spot and pizza is definitely one of my new town...
