Amore Pie & More — Restaurant in Lake Havasu City

Special ordered a peach pie over the phone for Saturday pick up, because we had dinner guests coming on Sunday. Very accommodating over the phone. But, got there and it had a crumble topping instead of top crust?? Not what I ordered. Was told matter of factly, that's how they make all their pies because crust top doesn't sell in this town. Huh? Sure enough, I looked at all the pies in the case & they were all crumble top. (funny... all the grocery stores in town seem to have no trouble selling top crust pies) If your going to sell crumble top, call it a "peach crumble", or an "apple crumble", etc. So then, the pie was about $25! Wow, pricey! But, I thought, at that price it must be really good, so I'll give it a try. It was for Sunday dinner, but my son & his gf were over Saturday & we decided to share a couple slices that night. Thank goodness we did! It was truly awful! It was a very heavy pie with lots of fruit inside, but there was so much fruit, the bottom was soggy and the crumble top was soggy. Even worse, there was so much cinnamon in it, you couldn't even tell that it was peach. The inside of the pie was literally brown from so much cinnamon and it tasted like cinnamon pie. Not one of the 4 of us thought it was good and my son usually eats anything. I would have been embarrassed if I had served it on Sunday! We ran to Safeway Sunday morning and fortunately they had a whole peach pie with traditional top crust for $13.99. It was delicious! So, my total cost for dessert on Sunday was about $40. 😔 Lesson learned. I would have returned it on Monday, but we were leaving town early Monday morning and couldn't. It went...

Disappointed... Got 2 items, butterfinger cheesecake and coconut pie. Well lets start with the price, very high for what I got. Both of my items were put in the same box and crashed into each other, so my cheesecake was a mess. Coconut pie was just ok, I would say less filling and add some whipped cream to the top to cut all of that custard. Cheesecake crust fell apart and lacked flavor. The filling was a shock. I was expecting a creamy cheesecake flavor to go with the candy bar topping and got a mouth full of no bake lemon something. Kind of weird to walk in a pie shop and smell pizza.

Thank you for honestly answering my review. I will give you...

I'm very sad to be leaving such a poor review because we had heard such great things about Amore pies. We received two free pies which we served for our Christmas dinner. They were quite literally the worst pies any of us had eaten in our lives. The multi berry pie was extremely mushy with a pasty texture. The pecan pie had a filling that was a bit sweeter than I care for, but the real downfall was the crust. We wondered if they hadn't used salt instead of sugar because the crust was inedibly salty. We ended up throwing both pies away. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of one only because our neighbors shared some Amore cakes with us last summer that were...
