Palace Southside - Lakeland

Even if you didn't like Italian food I guarantee you would go back here just because the service was that amazing! They set the standard, without a doubt! You can tell the owner not only loves what he does, but loves his staff because it shows in the way the staff interacts with you. This was our second time going there, one time without the owner there and this time he was and both times were phenomenal...so this shows me that his staff doesn't put on a show just because he is there. We felt like we were a part of his family there. I got the basil tomato pizza and it was delicious! My daughter got the piccata, she kept saying all night how she made the right choice and how good it was. Also, highly recommend their garlic knots ? this place just out does themselves ?

Palace pizza is truly grandeur pizza (and they?re called Palace so it?s fitting) because that absolutely can be a thing. I know my way around this south location pretty darn well. I?ve dined in at Southside, I?ve ordered takeout and picked up dozens of DoorDash orders to deliver, I?ve ordered from them off DoorDash myself, I?ve done curbside and probably any other option were there more. Safe to say, I?ve been there a few fair times. And it?s all seriousness when I say they have never once failed or even slightly disappointed me. Somehow, Palace Southside gets slammed with orders nearly every night, but they find a way to almost always keep on time. It?s mad impressive. I love ordering online there because I know that not only will the food be delicious, but they will be right on time too. This pizza is just elevated, that?s the only way to describe. You can go get your cheap Little Caesars or Pizza Hut pizza, but when I want a slice I?m gonna get the GOOD GOOD, and that comes right from Palace pizza. Their crust is thick, they load the toppings and use fire-roasted ovens. Everything is hot, fresh, and absolutely mouth-watering. Not only do they serve pizza, however. They have stromboli, calzones, pasta, and their famous bread knots (you gotta try those), and dessert to top it off. These guys are pros to the max. Another cool detail is that they serve gluten-free crust for their pizzas if need be, as well as dairy-free ingredients. They?ve really got it all. The original Palace Pizza location is in downtown Lakeland, but this is our beloved Palace store on the south side, and I?m so glad to have it. Elevated pizza only!

Great taste, service and overall experience. I felt like the staff and management really went the extra mile to make sure we were made to feel welcome and were satisfied with the food. I have seen this place get great reviews in some of the local Facebook foodie groups, now I understand why! My wife and I will definitely return!

Stopped with a large group (13 after a xcountry meeting. The staff was very accommodating to our group. Server has done enormous work. Appetizers and meals were great. I had the Auberginen-Pamigiana sandwich and would get it back in a heartbeat. Will be back next time? scream.

The best! A certified Lakeland gem! Don't think there's something you can order is bad. Clean, affordable and great staff. Love this place and make sure you come here at least once during your visit!
