Switch Brick-Oven Pizza & Wine Bar - Italian restaurant in Palestine - 1615 S Royall St, USA

We really thought this was goimg to be a great hidden little place. It was built well. It is vast and nice inside, the stone oven is lovely, the bar beautiful and well stocked. These beautiful old barn doors and other signs had me very excited. The food portions were small but the presentation was great. The reality is the hostess made us feel unwelcome. They sat us outside on the porch but left opaque curtains up so we could not see out and would not let us open them. Then our waitress took 20 minutes or more to take oir drink order. The hostess came back out and asked us if were going to be gone in an hour. The drinks were all sweet and sour. Then we get comped for 20% after not even getting my drink order til the last 15 mins. Everything was expensive yet we were treated like a roadside burger joint. Id bet the owner had a great vision the employees dont see. I hope this place improves and lives up to how nice it could be.

Great gem in the middle of the woods. Five star service and great food. Nice atmosphere. For an appetizer we ordered the truffle fries. Good flavor and big portions. My wife ordered mushroom penne Alfredo. She said it was flavorful. I had the lasagna. Came with a salad. Again, great flavor and large portions.

The grands and fam loved Switch! Great atmosphere and really, REALLY GOOD pizza. Will be making it a regular pre-Polar Express stop every year!!

We recommend this place after a ride on the Polar Express. Took a gamble and was not disappointed since we are not from the area. They have unique pizza combinations that are actually super delicious.

If I could give negative stars, I would! Don’t bother to go to this restaurant! We looked online and saw their closing time was 9pm. We arrived at 8:15 and could not get in. We called because we were outside freezing and thought maybe we were at the wrong door. We were informed that they stop seating at 8 pm. They were totally rude and unprofessional! If you call and ask to speak to a manager, they conveniently don’t have one available. Never will I give them any business.

I had dinner here on 3/8 around 6pm. I was immediately seated. Our server welcomed us warmly and took care of all our needs. We got the pepperoni and cheese pretzel bombs, which were a delicious appetizer. Then the meatball immaculata was a delicious entree. The Texas Mules were great drinks as well. Wonderful experience, and great atmosphere, if a bit dark. Most people were using their phone lights to see their menus. Other than that, this is a great place for a nice dinner.

It was delicious! We had the Brisket BBQ, The Switch, Cheese, and spaghetti with meatball. 2 people could share one pizza. Portions are generous. The atmosphere is small and cozy. Our server was attentive and hustling! We got there right as dinner service was starting so we did not have to wait very long.

Had a dishwasher pick up at Lowe’s. Hubby and I were hungry. Chili’s? Jucy’s Burgers? Nah… Found this little hidden gem around the corner from Lowe’s! GORGEOUS architecture, lovely elevated patio with old oak shade trees. Riley, our server, was bubbly, attentive, with a great smile and fine service! Ordered two bloody Mary’s to start! The food? Divine! I had the “Creole Alfredo”! HEA-VEN!! Alfredo sauce with a Cajun twist, chili peppers, sun dried tomatoes and blackened shrimp/chicken! WAY more than I could eat! Hubby had the “Beginning and End” A blend of spring mix with a homemade Italian dressing. On the side of this? 2 homemade meatballs as tender as your mothers heart, oh, and homemade sourdough bread, a huge slab, on the side of each dish. We WILL be back asap! One hour round trip worth every second!!
