Vero Amore takes the art of pizza making so seriously that the pizzeria received VPN certification. It’s the only VPN-certified Neapolitan pizza in Tucson, Arizona. In fact, its two locations have become neighborhood spots, as well as great date night options. The Neapolitan staples are prominent on its menu like the Marinara ($9.50) and the Margherita ($10.50). Vero Amore also features the Quattro Formaggi with gorgonzola, Parmesan, regular and smoked mozzarella, olive oil and garlic ($11.50) and the Pizza Ruspante with tomato sauce, chicken sausage, mixed bell peppers and mozzarella ($12). During its lunch service the pizzeria expands its offerings to include paninis. Our favorite is the Salami with spring mix tomato, onion, smoked mozzarella and basil pesto ($8.50).
