Customers can pick up pies, salads and sandwiches or have them delivered.
Amici’s Pizza & Living Room, a Berkley favorite known for its fresh gourmet pies and hip martini lounge, has added a location in Birmingham. Owners Jennifer Stark and Maureen McNamara opened Amici’s Gourmet Pizza To-Go on May 16. The new restaurant has the same menu, fresh ingredients, friendly service and even the same type of oven, driven all the way from Florida. The biggest difference is an added convenience for customers. The Birmingham location is a take-out or delivery location only, with extended hours for lunchtime patrons. The Berkley location is only open for dinner. “Our idea (for a to-go store) is a concept, a first try of many,” McNamara said. Stark added that Birmingham was an ideal location because it is an underserved …

Walking into cup.cake, I was greeted by owner and self-proclaimed frosting maker Eva Watt. Her passion for yummy baked goods is evident.

As its website says, "Ever wish that Etsy existed offline? So did we." Etsy, of course, is an online marketplace where people can buy handmade and vintage goods from around the world.
