Tucked near the Smokey Bear Museum in Capitan, Che Palle mixes unpretentious charm with standout pies, handmade sandwiches, garden-fresh salads and complimentary cookies for new guests. A cozy indoor room, sunny patio and even a chessboard add to the relaxed, music-filled vibe, while friendly staff and an inventive menu (green-chili cheeseburger pizza, gumbo, fish & chips) keep locals and visitors returning. Note: reviewers report uneven pizza quality and lax COVID/contact-tracing practices, so expect delightful highs with occasional inconsistency.
This place used to serve great pizza, but my experience yesterday was disappointing. I ordered a half veggie and half meat lover pizza, but when I picked it up, it looked like a child made it, covered in cheap yellow cheese. I won't be returning! It was very disappointing, especially since it wasn't busy, so I know it wasn't due to being overwhelmed. It seems like the owner doesn't care!
Unlike its Italian namesake, Che Palle boasts a lively atmosphere along with great food and service. The salad greens were fresh—possibly grown at home?—and the green chili cheeseburger pizza was delicious with a nicely baked crust. Especially in Capitan, where classic Mexican dishes, burger joints, and diners abound, Che Palle stands out with its unique menu and culinary experience that is definitely worth a visit.
Wow, this is hands down the best pizza I've ever had (and I've eaten plenty of pizza in my life!). We had friends recommend it to us, saying we had to try it while we were in the city. I'm so glad we did! The restaurant has a wonderful decor, and our waitress was incredibly friendly. Don't miss out on the drive from Ruidoso!
This place used to have good pizza. Picked one up yesterday (1/2 veggie 1/2 meat lovers). Got it home and it looked like a child made it with yellow cheese. Won't be going back!! Very disappointed and there was no one there; so I know it wasn'tbecause they were busy. Owner just doesn't care!!
Wow-best pizza ever (and I’ve eaten a lot of pizza in my lifetime! . We had friends tell us the same thing and that we must go while we are in town. So glad we did! The restaurant has great decor and our waitress was so sweet! Worth the drive in fromRuidoso for sure!!
