Does anyone have a photo of the Hialeah Pizza Palace?  I did a goggle search it showed the on SW 8 St, Miami, FL.  Mentioned the Hialeah location, but I couldn't find a photo.  For the longest time I have been trying to remember the name of the pizza place my family would get take out pizza.  I do remember it was south of the race track on East 4th Ave.   I also am sad by what is happening to Hialeah Race Track.  It's my opinion, the Miami areas does not have a strong preservation group.

Alice, Was it Patsy's Pizza?  Best bread sticks ever!

Alice Lacedonia (Pace)

'Paul, Patsy's Pizza doesn't ring a bell.  I guess it's possible I didn't know the name.  I was probably in my early teens or younger.  My mom would order a pizza to pick up.  She would drive and I would go in to pick it up. I remember it was a white building the name I believe was in red on the corner.  My memory thinks they made great pizza!  We never dined in the restuarant.  If it is the same place I wish I had.  Love garlic sticks.  Thank you for sharing.

Patsy's Pizza served great Italian food but it was located on East 29th St. The Pizza Palace, a favorite high school hang-out, was located on West 49th Street. Larry King on the HHS '63 site probably can find a picture of the Palace.

Let me interject another great pizza eatery, Jimmy Setinbrino SP? his family owned a great Itallian restaurant on Palm Ave near Hialeah horse track. Jimmy used to deliver Italian bread usually still warm to my and many other houses, He was a real entrepreneur, and a friend.

Hi all - in regards to the Pizza place it might have been Momma Mia Pizza which was on I think 41st Street  (or around that area) east of 4th Avenue. It was a little place but she had the best pizza.Went there a lot during Senior year 1964 as my friend lived on 41st Street.

For the greasest  pizza you couldn't beat May & Dave's on Palm & 12 st., plus cold draft Schlitz's dark beer

Paul Korry (HHS 1963)

James, Mae & Dave's on Palm Ave. was the greatest, especially after playing sports. However, I understand that an apartment now resides there....Progress?  PK

James Ward

Paul, thanks for correcting my spelling from May to Mae lol. I remember my Mom & Dad sitting on the stools out front on the sidewalk.

Richard Powell

Jack, remember Sambrenos restaurant on 4th ave, use to go their after football games or sock hops or concerts, great food always  a good size crowd, 40 OR 50 students, great memories.

David Briggs

What about Patsy's Pizza?  I thought it was the Mecca for post-football game eateries!

thanks 

Bruce Nierenberg

I agree. The pizza was great but it was by far the most popular place to go post football. sometimes impossible to get a tabke if you got there late. I beleive a classmate of ours family owned the place.

On trip to Australia that week

Melvin "Jack" Krouskroup

OH-OH, Bike Week conflict, not being a biker I forgot about the mass of riders that visit our Daytona-Ormond area early March. Nancy Blizzard is working on a venue we gathered at a few years back "Aunt Catfish" in Port Orange she will post the details here, the date will be the same (I guess the bikers don't go that far south) I hope this works for everyone, thank you, Jack

James Ward

Aunt Catfishs has an upstairs room that we used to get during bike week. It's a busy place at night, but lunch or brunch might be easier to get.

James Ward

The bikers love Aunt Catfishes , like I said it's a busy place.

Sorry to miss the roundup I will be on vacation in Australia & New Zealand.

Marilyn Harris (Rolfs)

Sorry, I will miss this year's get together as I leave for my vacation, with my sister-in-law, Gloria Rolfs Medina (class of 64), to Egypt, Greece, and Rome.  Maybe next.  Have a wonderful time and I hope someone takes lots of pictures. My best to all, Marilyn Harris Rolfs
