Orlando’s Pizza

Truly a nice local spot. The daily specials are delicious. The oxtail special on Thursdays are a good reason to try, as we do weekly. The pollo a la plancha and the pollo asado, organic free range chicken, hhhmmm.

This is a review of their pizza by the slice. I ordered 1 slice of pepperoni pizza to go during lunch at noon. It was $ 4 and it was small and burnt. It’s not NY style pizza. Far from it. It’s pizza with a burnt latin spin on it. Was hoping for better since I work nearby and co workers always looking for good pizza.

We use to come here for breakfast every Saturday with a group of local friends when Orlando first took over the place. The pizza is pretty good and affordable. The Latin menu was very good at first, but the quality of their food decreased.
Orlando needs to be a bit more Customer service oriented.

Good place for a quick lunch near the school. Benefit of plenty of seating and parking right in front.
Had lunch special of two slices of cheese pizza and a soda for $ 6. The slices are huge — one is really all you need. Good seasoning, not to heavy on sauce and great crust.

The pizza is ok, but the staff is totally rude and horrid. I ordered online, but there was no option for drinks. When I called to add a soda, the pizza man was incredibly nasty, arguing that I had to call the 3^rd party online order provider to deal with paying for the $ 2 soda, and then ranting about how he has too many orders and he doesn’t make enough money on online orders… uhhh– not my fault, dude: you chose to implement online orders for your business! I asked him to take a chance on me paying for the $ 2 drink in cash with the delivery (pizza was prepaid online) — he gave me SUCH a hard time for literally a $ 2 soda. NEVER AGAIN, Orlando, never again.

Terrible service! The Owner is very rude!!! Terrible, debería cerrar este señor no sabe lo que es dar un buen servicio!!!

The pizza is good, excellent price. Customer service regular. If you want to eat cheap on bay harbor island, this is the place.

Never had their pizza or italian food but I come here with a friend a couple of times a month for the latin (cuban?) specials for lunch. She usually gets the chicken and says its really good. I get the pork chunks with rice, beans and plantains and its amazing. The pork is juicy and the plaintains are cooked perfectly. The portions are pretty large (usually leftovers for snacks/​dinner) and good value.

Thought I’d give this place a try due to a friend recommending this place due to me recently moving to the area. My party ordered spaghetti and meatballs, a slice of pizza, and a chicken dish. The chicken dish was ok, but not great. The pizza was ok, but a little greasy. And the spaghetti and meatballs had a fairly tasty sauce, but the meatballs were frozen on the inside. I brought the plate back up to the counter and the cashier acted liked she didn’t know what I was talking about when I was explaining the issue with the frozen meatballs and told me I needed to talk to the chef. I asked the chef to zap the plate a little and he did. This is one of these places that you have to expect sub-​par quality because the food is a bargain. If it would have been a pricier restaurant, I probably would have asked for a new dish instead of just having them heat up the dish.
There’s a couple of other things to look out for at the restaurant as well. We ordered a side salad that we were charged for at checkout and when we asked why it wasn’t delivered to the table they said we didn’t pay for it. And because we didn’t ask for a receipt at checkout there was no way to prove it. (You’ll notice a sign at checkout saying to request a receipt, but we didn’t think anything of it… when do you ever have to worry about something like this?!?)
Also, I noticed today that the restaurant tacked on another $ 5 to my credit card transaction (most likely as a tip… this comes after we tipped in cash in the tip jar). I had to dispute the charge through my credit card company. Definitely beware of this restaurant… we won’t be back.

The dough used for the pizza and strombolis/​calzones is delish and so is the sauce and cheese. Thin, NY style pizza with a crunchy crust.
The real gem is their Cuban inspired daily specials! Cooked to order and absolutely delish (my personal fave are the pork chunks with onions, rice and beans). Their subs are great too, especially their Cuban steak sandwich. They also started offering pancakes and waffles for breakfast!
The service is quick (pick-​up and delivery), the prices are great for Bay Harbor (and the Beach in general), the place is clean and the food is prepped fresh. Definitely recommend!
P. S. Ask for a serving of arroz con leche… PERFECTION!

Small pizza place good value but pizza was average, the sausage was very good. Cheese was a little Greasy. Service was ok.

A hidden gem! Its not your ordinary pizza place! They also serve genuine Cuban cuisine that is delicious. If you go don’t leave without their homemade aroz con leche. It’s amazing! Prices are incredible too!!! Can’t go wrong.

Good pizza, fast delivery, a bit expensive, the only bad is the personn who pick up the phone not very friendly, tought.

If you haven’t tried Orlando’s or it’s been a while you owe them a visit! They are a hidden gem for affordable Italian comfort food in the 33 154 area. Pizza is good, communicate your preference to them in advance. They sometimes make the crust a little wide unless you tell them «thinner» which relates more to the border than the thickness. Once you know your favorites, you will be a frequent flyer. The STROMBOLI is second to none! Eggplant Parmesan is tasty. Stick to the classics and ask lots of questions. Orlando makes a great marinara, the base for most dishes. This is a mom and pop restaurant worthy of your business and support. Curious to hear your opinions!

This place is one of the few affordable lunch options in the Bay Harbor Islands/​Bal Harbour/​Surfside area. It’s a pizza place, serving pizza (def not as thin as you would expect a NY slice to be) that’s nothing to write home about but definitely edible. They also offer calzones, sandiwches (advertised with Boar’s Head meat, although I don’t know if that’s true or if it’s even possible), and… wait for it… Cuban food. This place has daily specials for around $ 7 – 9 and you can get anything from Arroz Imperial to Carne con Papa to Ropa Vieja, depending on the day. There aren’t many options for side dishes and the Cuban menu is pretty limited, but this is probably the only place within miles that can give you Cuban food when you crave it. The portions are hearty, too. I just wouldn’t eat this every day because the food is definitely a bit greasy. Service isn’t their strong point, either. They also offer a Pizza special which brings 2 slices of cheese and 1 soda (not Coke) for $ 5.99.
