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.

We found this pretty cute place near the Smokey the Bear Museum. Excellent fresh hot pizza. Friendly service. Cool decor and great music inside. The signage is kind of hard to find, but definitely stop. Recommended!

Came into town for a softball tournament in Ruidoso in between games I stopped by this restaurant and let me tell you the experience here is just as good as the food. I had the Meat lovers pizza and I wish my stomach could hold more than the 4 pieces I ate. The waitress was honestly the best I've ever had hands down, she was on top of everything all the while training a girl who was new. As a first time customer she gave me a cookie that was amazing that the cook makes fresh. If you're in the area I would recommend checking this place out even if it's a bit of a drive for you, do yourself a favor and make the drive. I'll be coming back every time I'm in town, hell I'll probably go back tomorrow before I head back home.

The food was pretty good, especially the pizza with white sauce. The patio was enjoyable to sit on. It was nice that they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal for being first time customers. However, I don?t really recommend going here if you consider yourself Covid-conscious. The waitress pulled down her mask completely to talk to us and take our order. I overheard her telling other customers that she didn?t care what phone number they put down for contact tracing, that they could put down any random set of numbers. She obviously didn?t care about taking it seriously even though it?s a mandate for restaurants. The waitress did not ask us at all to fill out information for contact tracing.

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!!
