What do you get when you take pizza dough, bake it, fold it over, stuff it with melty fillings, and crisp it in a panini press? At Amore in Armonk, you get The Pressado, a secret-menu sandwich that mixes the best elements of a pizza (lots of cheese, that perfect pizza-dough chew) with the best parts of a panini (savory fillings and a crisp exterior). “We’re always trying new and different things,” says owner Mark Mazzotta. “The Pressado has been a secret-menu item at Amore for a while now, and it’s developing a loyal following.” The Primo Amore, a simple mozzarella pie filled with prosciutto, fig jam, arugula, and aged balsamic, is popular, but you can do this pizza-panini hybrid with anything from classic pizza toppings to spicy Buffalo chicken. Check out how it’s made below.
