I have been to a few palace pizzas around Polk county. This was by far the worst. The ceiling is covered in grease, the ac vents have black mold growing on them. The table was sticky. They got rid of the tea an hour before closing. Both the one in Bartow and off south Florida Ave made me feel like they were happy to serve me. This location was the exact opposite. The food was mediocre. The only nice thing was the garlic knots.

Sadly we won't be back. Went for lunch the other day because my daughter wanted spaghetti. It was close to home so it's where we ended up. I got the Meatball Parm Sub and my wife got a Calzoni. The kids spaghetti was $7.50 for a bowl of spaghetti with plain pizza sauce. No drink or side included. My sub tasted good until I woke up at midnight with stomach cramps and threw it back up. My wife said her calzoni tasted good until the next day when her stomach cramped and hurt all day. Next time we want Italian we will go to an actual itialian restaurant that doesn't baste their food in butter and doesn't make us sick. Not another hole in the wall pizza joint that over charges. I added pics for proof we were there. Food looks and tastes good, but it caused us GI problems after eating it.

Good Italian food. I ordered the seafood pasta with clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, and baby octopuseseses. It's a bit of work digging the meat from the shells, but worth it. (If you want to just shovel clams into your mouth, go to Howard Johnsons for the fried clams... but I digress.) Ordered Tiramisu for dessert. It came with 4 spoons and was *large*. Pleasantly surprised that it only cost $4.95. I plan to return.

This place has absolutely great pizza the sauce should have been little bit more because it felt like the sauce wasn’t there so much but overall good service staffs are friendly it was kinda hot there and the place wasn’t too bright but definitely recommend pizza there.

1st time trying their pizza. My son and I enjoyed it. Staff was nice as well.

They are the BEST in all Florida (literally) My husband and I come here very often and we never get tired of the food! It’s always fresh and the flavor OMG, outta this world! They are also all so sweet!

EVERY thing is awesome no matter what you get. But I think the secret is their garlic knots with sauce! Seriously great food!

Was so amazing ... was the best Italian food I've had the pleasure of eating in a very long time would recommend this for anyone looking for a great atmosphere and great food at affordable prices

Had to try this place. Definitely my go to restaurant for Italian. You get your money’s worth. The price is absolutely reasonable. The portions are huge and the taste is out of this world. I’ve ordered from here many times since the pandemic and have never been disappointed.

Was just given the most undercooked pizza I have ever had. When we told the owner something all he said “you want it crispy? Sure…” as if it was cooked right begin with. $40 down the drain. Horrible service on top of that. Sat there for 10 minutes before anybody let us know where and how to order and the table was super sticky and dirty…
