Hialeah has another pizza contender! Sometimes the best…read morefinds happen when you're not even looking for them. We casually popped into this popular Hialeah spot, conveniently located right next door to Flanigan's, for a quick lunch. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly staff and promptly seated. As we looked over the menu, we spotted the $7 lunch special: a slice of pizza + a soda. Now THAT is a lunch deal you don't see every day! We placed our order and, about 10 minutes later, our pizza arrived. Fresh, hot, cheesy, and definitely giving New York-style pizza vibes. I went with the Salvatore Special, which was really good overall. My only personal preference would be the onions. The white onion was a little too raw for me. I'd much rather have red onions cooked until they're nice and tender, or skip the onions altogether. But here's the beauty of finding a new pizza spot: now I know exactly how I'm ordering it next time! Good pizza, friendly service, quick turnaround, and an unbeatable lunch special. This Hialeah pizza stop has earned itself a return visit.

Recently the quality of food has been lacking substantially. Tonight I received my pizza and it was cold and stale. Was not fresh at all, and it was not the fault of the driver. I contacted Slice app, which is where I ordered from and told them my experience. They contacted Salvatore and was told the driver picked up the order when it was ready and did nothing for us. Paying $63 for a meal that could not be eaten is extremely disappointing. They are losing long time customers for not making this right.

Seems like a potential health violation. I ordered garlic knots and spinach artichoke flatbread. The knots were lukewarm and tasted days old. The flatbread was okay, but it seemed carelessly prepared. There was barely any spinach and the artichoke pieces could have been cut thinner and better spread. It really just seemed as if the cook threw them on and said "good enough." Only positives of this experience were staff being friendly and prices being low due to getting there on time for the happy hour. Overall wouldn't recommend.

Tio Colo did not disappoint! Started with the cheese Cuban pizza -- that Cuban-style crust and…read morecheese combo is such a fun twist on regular pizza. Then I tried the Tio Colo Dog Roll: rolled pizza dough stuffed with an all-beef hot dog, pepperoni, and mozzarella, served with marinara. Genius idea, super tasty. I also grabbed the plantain chips fried in beef tallow, and let me tell you -- OFF THE CHAIN!! Hands down the best plantain chips I've ever had. Washed it all down with an Iron Beer soda (such a nostalgic Cuban classic) and finished with two Tio Colo Bocaditos de Helado (you get to pick the flavor) -- I went with guava and dulce de leche, and both were amazing. Authentic Cuban flavor, creative menu items, and great portions. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you're in the Hialeah or Miami area. Will definitely be back to try more!

Everyone has garlic knots on tables that look and smell amazing. However, they're a little hard due to probably being the oven longer and using the same pizza dough. We started with a white pizza that generally was good. Ricotta was smothered then topped with mozzarella. No garlic, oregano or EVOO so it seemed little too careless what could have been stellar pie. Meatballs were huge covered in red sauce and were nicely seasoned. Pastas were a little under-seasoned, huge portions that pooled water. Could have been a drained more carefully or sauces thicker. A few more teaspoons of parsley or a bit of fresh grated Parmesan would have elevated them. Veal Parm entree on the menu was crispy but smothered with mozzarella. It was a generous portion but it would have been great to get more of the contrasted breaded texture. Mussels seemed older than necessary and had a strong aroma. Asiago Gnocchi was a huge predominantly white plate filled with probably 24-30 dumplings. Drink menu had a lot of creative cocktails. Prices were very reasonable and the place gets busy with groups and families. Service was great and quick and the old timers made you feel at home.

The food here is to die for! I just recently moved to the area and decided to give them a try, and…read moreI definitely don't regret it. I had the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce and cheese on top, and if you love cheese, you will love this plate. I thought the cheese was going to be regular Parmesan cheese, but it was a full on melted cheese on top. The garlic rolls were also delicious! I will definitely be back when I want to eat Italian food. We took our food to go. So, we didn't stay at the restaurant, but it is very old style Italian restaurant feels with wood paneling and photos all over the wall. I think it adds to the appeal of a family owned business. The service was also great. The lady was super helpful and kind. The place is in a plaza. So, it is very easy to find free parking.

We came here because my daughter has been raving about their pizza.

We ordered a Heart Healthy Pizza which has fresh basil, sliced tomatoes and garlic, and a Hawaiian Pizza. The pizzas took a while to come out but were steaming hot when they got to our table. I liked both pizzas but my favorite was the Heart Healthy Pizza. I could taste the garlic and liked that the pizzas were crispy. My daughter was happy that we liked it.

I've tried other items on their menu that I like but the Regina is my personal fav and I just can't get enough of it. My husband's personal favorite is the Pepperoni Pizza. This is the only restaurant where he will eat an entire pizza in one sitting. It's shocking to see as he never ever eats more than 2 slices anywhere else, but he loves the pepperoni pizza so much that once he starts it's hard to stop eating. LOL.

We even got to chat with the owner, which made the night feel extra special. He was super friendly and really made sure we were taken care of. You can tell this place is run with a lot of heart. The food was amazing. I had the chicken francese and it was chef's kiss--perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and that sauce was everything. The pasta and ravioli were also really good, fresh, and comforting. Omg The tiramisu. Hands down the BEST I've ever had. Light, creamy, perfectly balanced...we were fighting over the last bite. Overall, such a great spot for a family dinner or special occasion. Good food, great service, and just an all-around feel-good experience. Definitely coming back!

This was one of the only restaurants in Miami Lakes that I hadn't been to so my mom suggested we…read morescope it out on a Sunday night for dinner. I will say they were super nice and welcoming when we went walked in. We sat indoors since it was a rainy night. The service was good but I just can't get over the presentation and preparation of the food. There were two other tables besides us and our simple order took over 30 minutes to arrive. First, they brought out my mom's chicken parm and entire ten minutes before mine. Her chicken serving was literally one lonely chicken tenderloin the size of a chicken tender basically with overcooked and dry pasta. My dish came with two tenderloins which is more reasonable but I could taste the freezer burn through the sauce with the first bite. Her Pinot Grigio which is typically a dry white wine was some sweet unknown blend that wasn't quite moscato but almost tasted like a wine cooler. They could use a menu revamp bc the items listed are very vague. I will say the chairs were comfortable which for me is a plus. The prices are alright but they just lack guidance in their presentation and ambiance. I ended up taking my food to go because by the time it arrived, my mother had already finished eating. Plus, we had already been seated for over an hour at that point. If it wasn't for the service, I'd have a completely different review because the food quality isn't where it should be. Hopefully they improve because the lakes deserves a cozy Italian restaurant.

I know it's a pizza…read moretruck, for the most part but I read a few reviews mentioning how good the pasta was and that's what I was craving. These ladies are cooking some delicious stuff in that little cramped kitchen. I will try the pizza next time but those buttery pancitos with queso fundido or melted mozzarella in pomodoro sauce are to die for. The cheese pull was phenomenal. The breads are tasty enough by themselves. Now that linguini bologna was a pleasant surprise. Very flavorful, cooked to perfection and generous portion. Sauce so good I was cleaning the plate with a few breads I had left from the appetizer. Washed it all down with a refreshing and tasty home made lemonade. Service is top notch and they're very attentive and welcoming. I'd see this truck becoming a storefront in the future if they continue to put out delicious food combined with excellent service. Gotta come back to try a few of the pies.
