The customer service is second to none. Very friendly and timely. The food is very delicious! The soup was some of the best soup I’ve had. A must try!

The food is dependably delicious here...always. The Hallandale location always surpasses their other location regarding ambiance, service, and food quality.

janet baldeon

We ordered the veggie pizza and it was okay but pizza lacked salt/taste.

Mark Yev

You know what.. its not bad for sure. Was very surprised. Place looks very simple from outside. Big oven for pizza . Very tasty Fried Calamari. Overall not bad for a small Pizza like place. Took my kid there he approved it.

Maria Dimitrova

They have really nice sea soup! It is pretty big and we always share it. I definitely Rex one that you trying it.

Edward Erris

Small restaurant. Apparently family owned. Food and service are excellent. The chicken marsala was the best I've ever had. Looking for fancy look elsewhere. Looking for great food go here!

Very nice people. Great service. Yummy lasagna. Price good . Thanks

This was my second time here. The first time was amazing. I think this visit wasn't what it could have been because of the unfriendly waitress. She was short with us and not attentive and had an attitude. The meatball appetizer were really good. We tried their wings, which were served with sauteed onions which is odd, but the wings themselves were good. Ask them if they offer the Thai Shrimp salad special, it is amazing.

Callie Mejia

Best pizza u can get

Dmitry Gushchin

Good place. The pizza was delicious! But waiting time was too long.

Daniel Morris

Casual hole in the wall place. Strip mall convenient parking. Food was good. Nice selection. Average pricing. Somewhat small portions. Friendly service. Great place for last minute dinner. Comfy seating.

German Rojas

Great Food and great people

JoseAlexzander

Great taste and very good service

Katren Gaitor

Their cheese pizza and coconut flan are my family favorites.

Susanne M

Very friendly, very good food, delicious Sangria, everything you would want from a fine Italian restaurant. But it’s not just Italian food and pizza. Check out the menu. There is quite a variety of different foods. I am so glad we found this perfect restaurant that meets our needs. Great atmosphere too!

Melanie De Matte

We LOVED this restaurant. Best meal of our 10 day vacation to Miami! It's in a weird location in a neighborhood, and is called a pizza shop, but don't let that fool you! This place is serving up first class cuban, italian and daily seafood specials that were delivered to us in full color on a tablet! The interior is really well decorated and attractive. The table came with garlic bread and an amazing garlic/pesto dipping sauce. I had the pork and onions Lechon Asado, hubby had the Tamarindo Special - mixed meat platter, teen son had chicken parm (which was huge~!!) Everything was scrumptious. Ask for their homemade "hot sauce" which is a spoon-able pitcher of vinegar pickles & jalepenos to cut the fat in the pork dishes. It was soooo good, not too spicy. I spooned half of it on my pork and onions. Staff were lovely and friendly. Explained cuban dishes (and hot sauce) to us Coloradans. Go! Go to this restaurant if you are vacationing at the beach!!

Great place all around Keep up the good work

Kristy Harris

It was very yummy and lived up to my expectations!

Andre Janssens

Wonderful wonderful restaurant. It's not easy to find as it's nestled between Hollywood and Hallandale do use your GPS. Once you fo find it you'll be glad you did. They have excellent chicken wings...soups...steak and fries...big taco made with chicken or beef. The staff treat you really nice. They are top of the line. I highly recommend this place

Victoria Rudman

Okay, I guess. If you aren't concerned about about eating healthy and want one step above fast food, then this is an option.

eric tepper

Inexpensive and delicious unfortunately everybody knows

Leonard Vitello

Hello Alex look for some friends to your place and love it keep up the good work

Robert Valentin

Old Dress pizza had raw onions and peppers on it. I know it is coal fired but since it is a thin crust pizza, it tasted more burned than flavorful. The Hawaiian pizza was below average too. This was a take out order. I don't know how this place got such a high review.

Sharon Thompson

This past Sunday I ordered the ten piece wings and they were awesome. I also ordered the pasta with meatballs as well as the small meatball and ricotta cheese. The pasta was ok but had way too much pasta. The pizza looked old and reheated. The meatballs that were on the pizza were cut in half and the pizza itself was very dry. I will not go back here. To sell someone a old pizza is disgusting. I paid good money for my food and I deserved better quality than what I got....

Pedro Pernia

One of the best roast wings I ever had in my life... It just melts in your mouth.. The cooking process must be slow for the meat fall from the bone as it did. The marinate is also well paired with the wings.

Jason

Excellent pizza. High quality ingredients, especially the cheese. I love this place.

Denisse Jallouk PA

They're awesome, food and service are great

Bibi Pozo

Customer service sucks. Food had no taste

MONICA Feinman

Excellent chopped salad, loved it, nice ambiance the pizzería its divided from the restaurant side, the piza dough was droopy we sent it back, their fish dishes are the bomb!! I would hire a host, or If there is one, then she or he is not doing a good job. The waitresses and waitters are great and very patient and understanding

Lekisha Burchfield

i love their pizza . I eat there once a week and the owners and staff treat me as if i were a member of the family . But the reason i eat there regularly is the pizza is outstanding and worthy of a 5 star rating . The pizza has a tremendous amount of toppings

Steve Blimbaum

Good selection of pizza and other menu items. Consistent quality

A Google User

Good food but too many police officers frequent this place. We all know how unpredictable they are. Also the non Italian name throws many off.

Gregg Adair

Top pizza choice other meals too nice people good service

Izzy Erlich

We got this food delivered because it had good reviews. If you haven't eaten here before, I wouldn’t recommend it. The food quality is low and I have trouble understanding how it was rated 4.4 (at the time of writing).

Thatiana Reid

Outstanding food! The staff it's great and very friendly. They deliver. They serve pretty fast. Their menu has a great variety of Latin food. Plenty of parking and great access to this restaurant. You have to try this restaurant. You'll love it. / I just love this place!!!

Destanie Rodriguez

The soup was the best ever the pizza was ok the soups are what make the place no doubt .. definitely going back loved it

Justin Camacho

The pizza is AMAZING! It's a nice thin crust cooked in a very hot oven. The temperature creates a great char. The day we went they had a beef soup that was also delicious.

Isis Dorado

We have been ordering from here for our pizza nights ever since we discovered them a year ago. Pizzas are genuinely coal fired and the wings are too! Absolutely scrumptious. Most recently, I came in to pick up our pie and they asked me if i would be ok waiting a few more minutes. The manager said the pizza was a bit burnt at the bottom and wouldn't feel right sending me home with it as it was. I agreed and as I waited, I was offered some garlic bread and a nice soup sample. What a treat! Both: the delicious items and also the wonderful customer service. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but 100% worth the food and service!!

Albert H

Good fresh food Pizza and wings are excellent. Good service fairly priced. My favorite is the grilled chicken with plantains and rice.The chimichurri sauce is addictive. Unpretentious local eatery. Give it a try

Jesus Peraza

Awesome little place inside with good food and friendly staff. Place doesn't look like much outside but inside it's nice and the pizza is just like Anthony's coal fire in my opinion.

Nathan Gibson

Great service and nice food. Love this place.

Maria D Nelson

Food is terrible. Don’t waste your $

june kelly

Good food, well prepared and with a courteous staff, it doesn't get much better than this. Oh, wait! It does, the prices are very reasonable. 5 stars. I have been going here since it opened.

Luis Galvez

Great food and nice people

Linda Cereghini

Went here with some friends while visiting from out of town. Doesn't look like much from the outside. The restaurant is located in a small strip plaza. Inside was not as expected as it is nicely decorated & a comfortable atmosphere. Here is the important part...the food is delicious! An imaginative mix of Italian and Latin type cuisine. This spot is on my list for the next visit to S Florida.

Patrick Ryan

Wow!!! Homemade dressing was amazing. I was apprehensive at first about mussels cooked with peppers until I ate them. This place is a rare find. Small in size and everything I ate was done in a way I wasn’t used to but was done right. Tamatoes in salad were perfectly ripe, which is always an indication of quality and pride they take in the restaurant!!

Lissie Gonzalez

Don't go by the outside. This place serves great food and the ambiance is fun. Great people.

Jimmple :o

My new favorite go to.

Andres filme

Excellent taste delicious best pizza Italian style better than Antony's pizza, if you are looking for real pizza go and visit that place excellent service

Alexander Jimenez

Always good for excellent service

Ice Man

My kids love their ovan Bake Pizza like old school Brick Oven Style and one of my favourite dish they have is a sausage with broccoli rabe, price is worth it

Jen Rivera

Went to a friend's house for the day and they ordered from here for dinner because we were taken by the high 4.5 rating, great reviews, and yummy food from the photos. For all of us it was the first time and last time. Ours friends live close to the restaurant so they picked it up and in a couple minutes when the food arrived, it was room temperature. The calamari was slightly warm, the pizzas did not at all look coal fired and looked like a regular oven pizza so our friend's threw the pizzas back in the oven. There was a tinfoil-wrapped item which was opened to reveal what one thought was two slices (for 5 people) of sponge cake, but turned out to be just bread, presumably garlic, that seemed really condensed and a bit spongy, perhaps steamed from the tin foil. Eww. My Hawaiian pizza was terrible as there was dollops of marinara sauce all around the pizza like a topping or an afterthought with hardly any sauce actually under the cheese, was overpowering due to lack of consistant sauce. Their pizza was done the same way as well, dollops of marinara sauce, cooked like it was from a pizza oven. Our friend made real homemade Italian sauce with corkscrew pasta (as she is actually 2nd gen. Italian) and that was much better then the entire dinner. Almost felt like this was a punishment for not dining in. What could have been a great dinner from what I saw from all the photos and reviews people posted, we just got sub-par luke-warm food we just felt icky from, not full or satisfied. *No images as they were already thrown back in the oven but the time I came into the dinning room.

Steven Gross

This is a great restaurant! The recipe and method of cooking for their wings is outstanding. This has become a new favorite lunch place.

Jamaica Jamaica

Perfect place!! Food is great prices are good everyone is friendly.

RENEE STEBBINS

Some of the best pizza I've ever eaten.

Joanie Nazario

It is great pizza. Nice people that work there.

AB. Digital

Wow what a tasty pizza, clean place and excellent customer service

MIRIAM J

I ordered a breaded chicken breast. When it first arrived, it looked more like chicken scraps than a chicken breast. My waitress told me that she needed to ask her supervisor to be able to exchange. I asked another waitress and she was kind enough to exchange. When I got the second chicken breast, it was dry. The black beans were tasteless. We ordered maduros, tasteless as well. Not sweet at all. My husband ordered salmon, and that had no flavor either and was dry as well. I ordered a Cuban coffee and a Tiramisu for dessert. I have to say those were very good. That was the highlight of our dinner. All in all, the food was terrible. I Will NOT be returning anytime soon. The quality and taste of the food has gone down. It is not what it used to be. That would explain why the restaurant was not so busy on a Friday evening.

Jim Fett

great pizza, wings, don't stop, keep them coming.

Brittany Dotson

Today was my first time eating from this place. We ordered the Old Dress large pizza for take out. From the time the order was placed until we took the first bite I would say was 25 minutes. The pizza was too overloaded with ingredients, which you might think is a good thing, but it wasn't. The pizza was impossible to eat with your hands. The crust was soggy and the slice flapped in half... spilling the toppings all over the plate. We actually tried to bake it a little longer but didn't work. The actual flavor wasn't mind blowing either.

Nancy Murcia

Perfect hangover remedy. Delicious homemade flavor

Maria Mar

This place is amazing. It is a family own business. I eat there for many years. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and reasonable. Fillipe and Margarita are the best staff I ever met. Jackson the owner is truly amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Aaron M. May

Liked the atmosphere. Food was good too.

Aoi Sagara

The go-to spot for good pizza and fast delivery!

Sergio Santa Cruz

Great service, friendly staff! Chicken wings are AMAZING!!!

Helene Calini

We had delicious pizza and calzone. The crust of the calzone was perfect, crisp and not soggy. Same thing for the pizza. I LOVED the tiramisu and being partially Italian, I rarely taste a really good one when dining out I used to go to El Tsmarindo many years ago.and I was please to see they have kept their food quality standard: great little local place!!

Christopher Evans

Hey Juan, You and your staff are amazing. The pizza was splendid! Awesome environment and I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys a brick oven pizza in the Miami to Hallandale area. It is the sauce that ROCKS! Great service and me and my girlfriend enjoyed our time with you and your staff. Definitely WILL be back! :)

Norbert Bleiziffer

First visit and I’m very impressed! The pizza we had was very delicious and our waiter (Felipe) was amazing! Super professional and always made sure we had everything we needed! Would totally recommend this pizzeria to my friends and family

Lynda Adel

Consistently good food. Gr8 place to enjoy with friends. Wonderful service

Andrew Murray

I eat here a lot since I work right next to it. I have to say the customer service is always great and they keep the place neat regularly. Prices are fair and they serve sizeable portions.

Denisse Jallouk
