El Palenque Pizzería Cubana

"Pizza was delicious as usual, atmosphere wasn’t the best, I will say there were about 6 cops just chilling there and it kind of made me feel safe!"

"Calles to place the order, they said 12 mins, it took more than 35 on the window waiting for 2 pizzas and a shake. Pizza overcooked. Was supposed to be around $20, they charged $26, no receipt. First and last time."

"This is the worst pizza place i have ever gone to. I’ve gone to multiple palenque pizzerias and they are way better compared to this location. They gave me the smallest pizza i’ve seen and it they didn't even cut the pizza. There was only one worker. And so overpriced for no reason at all. 5 dollars for a milkshake?! Thats absurd. And almost 10 dollars for a pizza thats smaller than the plate it come’s on. I will never be coming back to this pizzeria."

"The owners of this establishment hit the jackpot! -Great location but horrible parking: on a busy intersection, across from Hialeah Hospital, inside of a gas station, but parking is a complete mess! During lunch time/peak hours there is absolutely no parking available, folks just pull up and occupy the gas pumps for the 10-15 mins it takes to prep your pizza. I recommend calling ahead and doing pick-up to avoid the parking situation. -Small but popular menu for the demographic in Hialeah. Quite a few different pizzas on the menu, I tried the Ham&Cheese and the Hawaiian, neither was nothing super special, I was not blown away, the dough was soft and airy, edges crispy, topping were average. I would not try again. The milkshakes/batidos I had (mamey, guava) were pretty good—these are made from fruit flavored ICE-CREAM and not the actual fruit, so if you’re on a diet, these are not the batidos for you. I absolutely LOVED the guava batido, definitely a Cuban/SoFlo flavor! I saw a guy buying an entire bucket of ice-cream there but its not on the menu, guess you can ask if you’re having a party or something. They also sell desserts, see my pics for all menu items. -Good prices : see my pics for prices -FAST service!! The girls working there should get an award or pay raise, they are answering phones, making shakes, taking orders, etc, etc. They are actually courteous and not lagging or talking among themselves, I was really surprised!! I hope they get paid well, they deserve it! -Overall: I would not try this pizza again only because it is average and there are lots of other Cuban pizza joints in close proximity. The batidos I might do again, maybe try other flavors…if they can get that parking situation right. For what I can see, this place is clean and is a pretty successful business model!!"

"This place is a steal. Super cheap prices and super good pizza. The pizzas might look small at first, but they fill you up just enough. We also recommend getting a “batido” of your choice. The mango one is delicious!"
