Papa Piccolo Pizzeria

We had dinner here as a family and did not have a good experience. The staff is friendly but it appears they need more help. Service time was very slow and they had to be reminded about several items we ordered. The food was average. We had the chicken parmigiana, spaghetti and pizza. They forgot our pizza and had given it to another customer causing even more of a delay

I don’t even know where to begin I go here almost every single day. Your food is magnificent the service is amazing and my kids really enjoy being there. The atmosphere is great and it is right by our house so we go a lot. Keep it up!!! Thank You!

Love this little Italian hole in the wall place. Been coming here for years. Pizza is homemade and all the other dinner plates are wonderful.

Decided to give this place another go. After all, the pizza IS good. Ordered half ham and half cheese (I’m vegetarian). The pizza arrived 20 min later… all ham. Got to see my friends enjoy their pizza while I hungrily wrote this review. Not happy.

New owner. I hope they keep the good quality. I had take out today. Pink sauce was a little thick and tortellini a little overcooked… But the flavor was still good

Pizza and chicken francaise were awesome. I was pleasantly surprised when I found this in the area of kings creek. It’s tucked away in the village shopping center. Great find, however a bit pricey for the portion of the dinner.

Good food and nice warm service. feel like eating at home.

A local place with great pizza! This is my cheat meal and I work hard to keep coming back. It’s hard to substitute.
Sometimes I go the extra mile and add pepperoni. When I feel really hungry, I get everything on it. Never a bad pizza. I heard pizza is better the next day, but this pie never see’s that moment. Enjoy a slice of heaven!!!

Must admit the service at times is not the best. However I keep going back to this place the chicken parmagian and the baked ziti and there pizza are my favorites. There pricing is ok and the food taste great my only compliant is they get real busy on Fridays and should hire some extra help. However if your patient I think you will enjoy the quality of the food and the taste.
Oh and they make a delicious chicken parm sandwich.

What, Italian food? Really? The spaghetti sauce tastes like canned sauce lightly splashed over the pasta and the Alfredo fettuccini is bland like milk. If it wasn’t for the Garlic bread this meal would have reminded me of a school cafeterias attempt at an Italian meal! STAY AWAY!

We have been coming to this tiny gem in Kendall for years and it’s consistently great. Hector makes us feel like we’re part of the family. Excellent food — chicken parm and shrimp francaise are my favorite. The salad has a special dressing that makes you want more. The garlic bread is addicting. We love this place!

My family and I have been coming to Papa Piccolo’s since I was a kid. For better or for worse, it is the ultimate hole in the wall, tucked away in a nondescript strip mall in Kings Creek (close to dadeland mall).
To this day, there are few pizzas in all of Miami I would put ahead of it. It is a bit pricey, yes, but there’s something about their pizza crust that I just can’t quite put my finger on, but it is unique and worth trying. I’ve had a couple of their pasta dishes over the years and, while they are rich and generally tasty, I wouldn’t put them in the same league as their pizza.
Reviewing them on that basis, I am tempted to issue five stars but cannot for two reasons: first, their wine selection is terrible and, given the quality of the wine, overpriced (especially in this day and age when similarly-​priced restaurants are really upping their wine game). Second, as other reviewers have noted, is the owner. I’ve had the good fortune of not having too many run-​throughs with her in the past but, a year ago or so, she lost her cool with me over a groupon (or some other coupon I bought) and caused a big scene at the pickup counter. As a lifelong customer, I felt rather betrayed.
If possible, try to deal with Hector, instead of the owner. He’s a genuinely nice guy and goes out of his way to make you feel at home.

I’ve been coming here since I was a toddler. I absolutely love this place! The pizza is great, rich ingredients, good crust, the sauce is just right.
The baked pasta dishes are also pretty good. The baked ziti has to be my favorite.
The staff is always friendly and welcoming
I moved out of town years ago, but when I come back to visit this place is my first destination for food.

It’s the quintessential neighborhood pizza/​Italian spot. There was a time when they were everywhere and now there are just these tucked away slices of nostalgia. A good pizzeria slice, staple dishes and staff that’s been there as long as anyone can remember.
Simple. Good.

Usually very happy with the food but tonight I ordered the eggplant parmigiana for take out as I usually do and it smelled like a wet sour sponge when I opened the container. I called and spoke to the woman who took the order to let her know that I order it often and it’s usually good but tonight something wasn’t right. I asked her to check it out because it may be spoiled. She didn’t even pretend to check it and just told me it must be fine because no one else complained. I wasn’t planning to go back to return it as I had already tossed it, nor did I want anything in exchange. I just wanted to make her aware so no one else had to have their dinner/​evening ruined but she really just didn’t seem to care.
A little customer service goes a long way.

First off, the salad dressing is mayo with a hint of lemon juice.
Well, where to start? I read reviews saying how good Papa Piccolo’s is. I must adamantly disagree. The food is not bad, it is bland; better yet it is flavorless! The «Baked Ziti» is not baked at all. It comes on an oval dish not a crock or ramekin. Boiled ziti toss in a flavorless tomato sauce topped with provolone cheese and microwaved.
My Spaghetti Carbonara was spaghetti with bacon and onion, and canned Parmesan cheese. No fresh cheese to be found.
Avoid this place like the plague!

I never tried this place out until the other day and I can’t believe what I was missing! I ordered a gnocchi in pink sauce and a tiramisu.
The gnocchi: They were really large, perfect pieces of gnocchi. They were so perfect, and I hope they were homemade because it looked and tasted like they were. The pink sauce was the perfect balance of tomato sauce and cream, and it even had small pieces of tomato in it, sooo good. I might have a hard time ever ordering anything else from here because it was that good.
The dessert: it came packaged in a cute little plastic container. I thought it was a little bit pricey for what it was, but it was actually good, so no complaints there.
Oh, and the salad was actually great. It was a small side salad, and the veggies were fresh, but my favorite part was the dressing. It was so good, and I don’t know what it was. Maybe a house dressing?
Whoever answered the phone was really polite and patient with all of my questions. The delivery got here exactly when they said it would. I highly recommend.

Ate here for more than 5 years!!! BUT… NO MORE!!!
Made my delivery pizza wrong and I had to go return since the owners mean wife argued the point and said I was wrong and they made what I asked gor. Well, I allllllways order the same exact thing and she knows this. Instead of sending a replacement I had to drive over and fight for my correct pizza. She still argued the point and stood her ground after I proved their mistake. Furthermore, I always asked for garlic powder, ground peppers and parm cheese condiments but 99% of the time they never sent them. I always let that go and still tipped driver well.
Sub standard customer service, food made wrong, NASTY attitude from the owners wife and the owner just bowed his head in shame and did nothing as this all went down!!!

My husband and his family always order from here on those nights we want to order in food and it never disappoints. We love their Snapper Francese and their pizzas are delicious too. There is something about their pasta noodles that are cooked perfectly and taste amazing no matter what sauce you order them with. The service has always been very quick, never made a mistake on our orders, and very friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area to eat in or eat at the location.

I can’t get enough of this pizza! The sauce is slightly sweet and the dough is soft inside but crispy outside. The garlic rolls are great! Not too oily and burning amounts of garlic which I hate! The people are nice and friendly and if they see you more than twice, they remember your name.
I try to stay away from junk but this pizza really is one of my favorites and there are only 3 places I like to eat pizza and one is my house.
If you want a small place with great service and delicious pizza and home made Italian, this is it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
