Tio Colo

Love coming here to get a Cuban bocadito de helado. They taste just like I remember from Cuba! My favorite flavor is Mantecado. ✨

Amazing Cuban pizza! I yearn for the day to come of going back to Miami just to have this pizza! Fantastic and very customizable with toppings. Don't sleep on the ice cream sandwiches, served just like back in Cuba.

Been waiting awhile to go to this place and I’m so happy I got the chance to! It’s so delicious and everything I expected. I got the Hawaiian guava pizza and added bacon. It was so freaking good! Don’t miss out! And the ice cream sandwiches were the bomb! Mango is what I got! Hope to be able to get some close to where we live so we can enjoy it more often. If not, it’s worth the drive lol..

Amazing taste!! We had a family size pizza, half jam & half chorizo. It was truly tasty. Loved it!

Amazing traditional Cuban pizza for me the onion and chorizo are incredible but don't look pass a guava pizza yep I said it guava

It is a very good place if you want to eat high quality pizzas at a reasonable price, the service is fast and pleasant, they have varieties of pizzas and you can also choose whether to order delivery apps or call the store directly for a pickup.

They claim their products are fresh. I went and the freezer had less than 25 ice cream sandwiches left. That was at 10:30 am

The best little homemade ice cream sandwiches ever! The sandwich part tastes like lady finger cookies. My kids and I loved it. ❤️

Really cute ice cream store in a strip mall. This was my first time trying a Cuban ice cream sandwich. I chose Guava flavor which was really good. The server was very nice. I look forward to trying other flavors another day.

Hubby and I stopped by Tio Colo's to try the famous bocaditos de helado. These were a perfect late night dessert - not too sweet and good size. We tried the dulce de leche and guayaba. The fruit flavor was on the light side and could have been more flavorful. The sandwich part was a fluffy cake like texture topped with a little sugar. I would definitely recommend Tio Colo's bocaditos de helado!

Love ordering from here on Friday nights. I always get the ham pizza and the chocolate ice cream sandwich This two things remind me of Cuba and my childhood

Was In the area and got a pizza from this place freaking delicious highly recommend also got a shake

Las mejores pizza soy cliente habitual, el servicio excelente y está súper limpio y bien ambientado el lugar

I heard about this place for a while and was in the area today so I stopped by for lunch. If you're not specifically looking for it, you'll pass right by it. It's on the corner of an industrial style strip mall. It's a small location and there are no tables to sit. It's strictly pick up and take out. I was surprised by that. Would love to see a table or two in the future. Cuban style pizza is not for everyone, but I really like it. I ordered the personal Hawaiian pizza. Bonus points for all the ham they top it with- and it's chopped in really small pieces. Of course I had to try the famous ice cream bocaditos and they did not disappoint. I got the mantecado and the almendra. They're really good. The outer cake portion is dusted with sugar. It was delicious. The woman behind the counter was friendly and the food did not take long to prepare. I don't think I was there more than 10 minutes. It was fresh and the pizza was steaming hot. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop by to try some of the other ice cream flavors.

This little place is known for their Cuban ice cream sandwiches. They offer authentic Cuban flavors such as mantecado and mamey amongst many others. I highly recommend their "almendra" flavor.. to me it reminds me of un batido de trigo and I love it for that reason. The bite size dessert go for about $3 each and are the perfect treat for the Miami heat!

Got here at 9pm and it says they close at 10pm. The door was locked and the employee inside motioned to us to tell us it was closed

I'm absolutely obsessed with the bocaditos de helado (aka Cuban ice cream sandwiches) from this spot. I've been coming here throughout the years, and it always hits. Today I tried the dulce de leche bocadito, which was dulce de leche ice cream sandwiched between two soft cookies dusted with sugar. I'm not doing the cookie portion justice because it's definitely something you gotta try to understand. They serve it tightly wrapped in parchment paper straight from the freezer, so you gotta give it just a few minutes to melt for it to be at it's peak deliciousness. Tio Colo's is located in an unassuming warehouse area in Hialeah, so you may get a little confused/lost thinking you're going the wrong way. Don't worry... you ain't. Plenty of parking out front!

So this has been on my radar for a while as I have never tried a Cuban pizza before or their speciality ice creams. I am married to a Cuban, but he is essentially a New Yorker having been a NYPD Lieutenant out there for many years. He told me "you won't particularly like the Cuban pizza" as he claims to know me, and he is also not bothered himself eithger about the Cuban style of pizza, preferring other alternatives. He never has ordered it or had it to my knowledge in the 6.5 years I have known him. Any way....... I came today to try both. I ordered the Guava pizza, as I was very curious as to what it was. I have had a Nutella pizza before and it took me a few tries to accept a sweet pizza, (but it did grow on me). The pizza is definitely NOT Italian that's for sure. I enjoyed it, but it is definitely not my fever, or as us Brits say "my cup of tea". There was nothing wrong with the pizza, the service or the establishment, I just prefer a thinner crispier Italian style pizza. From what I can muster Cuban pizza is more like a doughy thicker softer crust, more like a bread, and that to me is stodgy n heavy. I am very glad I sampled it though, and would not be opposed to trying it again, maybe a different one. Incidentally to be noted the pizza is made fresh and took about ten minutes and was piping hot. Then I tried their ice cream, which is a slice of ice cream sat between a sheet pan cake with a light sugar dusted on it and sealed in a nice package. They had load of flavours to choose from (approx 15 I would guess). I tried the coconut one, which was pleasant, but no wow factor for me. Again I would be happy to try another flavour. These are probably a fun way to get a stack for a party! (if you are a fan of course) The lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and told me that it was originally her Fathers shop. I love the fact that it is a family business. So if you love Cuban style pizza, and Cuban style ice cream, this is surely your spot. Go try it out.

Food is amazing i always run over to buy bocaditos. The service is great here can't complain. Ambiance is a small shop that smells nice. I gave these bocaditos to my girlfriends 100% Cuban family they were extremely amazed by them they said they were better here in Miami than in Cuba.

Got here at 9pm and supposedly they close at 10pm. It was closed... 2 other customers came after and got same response. Door was locked and employee was inside closing register.

Best Cuban ice cream sandwiches ever. My personal favorites are Oreo and Almond, but my family loves rum raisin, orange pineapple and chocolate.

Omggggg the ham spaghetti from this place is FIRE!!! My husband loved their personal pizzas too. Very good.

Best guava and cheese pizza ever. It was like a pastelito but in different form and so delicious.

Delicious ice cream. The pizza was ok. I got a personal veggie pizza. I personally prefer ken and mikes But tio colos ice cream sandwiches are DELICIOUS!!!!!

Great pizza spot in Hialeah. They are quick to make and the pizzas are quite tasty. My favorite was the personal pizza because it offered a crispy bottom without over burning. The only complaint is that the supreme option wasn't as crispy so I would recommend the personal sizes

Hidden away next to a hairsalon in Hialeah's warehouse district is a ice cream and Cuban pizza speakeasy. You see a counter, a few chairs, and a door. If you say hi to the sweet Cuban abuela at the counter and peek in, you'll see a pizza oven and a cart of ice cream sandwiches (aka Bocaditos). For the uninitiated, Cuban Pizza is similar to Chicago pizza, with more cheese and a fluffier crust but with the toppings on the pizza rather than baked in. I ordered my usual (yep Hawaiian) pizza, personal size and was sure to ask for extra sauce (and they didn't backcharge). The pizza had plenty of ham, pineapple and of course extra tomato sauce. The crust was fluffier than my usual thin crust but all of the taste was there. The shop is also known for "bocaditos" Ice cream sandwiches, and I ordered an orange and pineapple one. It was more of a sorbet, and not overly sweet, and served on a slightly toasted biscuit (tasted like the "base" of a poptart). Service was excellent for what's nominally a takeout spot. I didn't want to take my food home to avoid washing dishes and sharing with Luna (bad dog dad) and the hostess accomodated, letting me eat there.

Solid four stars for Tio Colo! Best Cuban Pizza in Dade and Broward. Now that they have tables and chairs you can dine in. I have noticed this pizza taste best when eaten shorty after it comes out of the oven. Chorizo is the way to. 9/15/2018 Another trip to Tio Colo as I had the urge! Pizza was not as good as last time. The crust this time lacked that crunchy texture and the amount of chorizo was on the skimpy side. There seems to be some inconsistency, was not bad but certainly not as good as it has been. Writing it off to a bad day but if it continues I may take it down a notch.

I loved Tio colos pizza! The ice cream too even though I shouldn't be eating it cause they aren't dairy free. Lol The pizza was ready in about 10-15 minutes once I placed the order. I actually called and picked up the pizza. I have to say that this pizza was really good! I am so coming here if I don't get my usual at Dominos. The fact that they have a Guava Pizza was what drew me in to come and try out this place. The pizza was a mix of sweet and salty just perfect. I also ordered a Hawaiian personal pizza because that's my favorite.

Friendly staff. The pizza was good and tasty the shakes are delicious and the ice cream sandwich were delicious as well. I

Best Cuban pizza in Miami! I absolutely love their chorizo personal pizza, the crispy crust is what always get me! The personal pizza is perfect for one and it is only $6. Aside from the pizza they also have delicious ice cream sandwich which are $2. I always end up buying minimum 4 ice cream sandwich's and a personal pizza. It's a great spot, very small but perfect. Watch out Rey's pizza, Tio Colo has your numbers on pizza! -Growling Stomach approves this message

My brother heard great things about these little Cuban "ice cream sandwich" bocaditos. I wasn't too sure what to expect. It was a tiny little shop. Friendly staff. Make you feel at home. The desert was unique and delicious! They have a ton of flavors to choose from. Just wish i had ordered more to take home lol. They also have amazing pizza supposedly, but we already ate so we didn't get it. But i really want to try the pizza next time! I wish i lived closer, but I'll definitely be back when in the area :)

The Cuban pizza here is soooooo gas The ice cream sandwiches are alright. I feel like they've aren't as good as they used to be.

Best homemade ice cream sandwich!!! Worth the trip to the store. El Mejor bocadito de helado en Miami.

Stopped in this little spot to get what I can only describe as the "Cuban Ice Cream Sandwich", it's a WIN! I didn't witness it but these things look and taste homemade. God Bless whoever takes the time to do this! Imagine a regular ice cream sandwich, but with better quality and MORE product. The "bread" of the sandwich isn't the hard cookie type. These are light, thin slices of cake with a tiny sprinkle of sugar(which isn't necessary IMO). These things are AWESOME but they melt IMMEDIATELY so you may wanna try them at the store. A bit on the pricey side, especially for the size but the time to make and wrap is appreciated and makes up for it. Good Stuff!

the best cuban sandwiches cookies and cream , chocolate is my fav , dulce de leche is good , guava is delish and not overpower the guava flavor.... Pizza de chorizo off the hook

Grabbed take-out from Tio Colo on a Wednesday evening. Ordered the Chorizo Personal Pizza and a Mango Ice Cream Sandwich. Quality Tio Colo was my first encounter with Cuban Pizza. Now I am definitely a snob when it comes to pizza, so maybe I am being unnecessarily harsh about this different approach, but I just did not like it. I will start with the crust because that is usually what makes the difference to me. The Chorizo Personal Pizza I ordered seemed to use a mix of pan pizza and deep dish pizza techniques. While I appreciated the edges of my pizza, which were crispy and burnt, the actual bottom of the pizza was thick, greasy, and soggy. I found it to be heavy and not airy like Cuban bread, as I expected it to be. Then there is the cheese, instead of relying on just mozzarella, they have combined mozzarella with gouda. I don't know how gouda ended up in the mix, I would have expected queso blanco, but I found it too overpowering. The tomato sauce was very light and I think more could have helped the overall flavor. Finally there was the chorizo on top, which was too hard and only increased the greasiness of the pizza. I would compare the pizza to what I was accustomed to with public school lunches, a thick slice, with strange cheese choices, and so much grease you need to dab it with a napkin. Maybe I need to stick with more traditional styles. All that said about the pizza, the Mango Ice Cream Sandwich was awesome. I loved the sugary cake slices on the outside and the mango flavor ice cream itself was great too. Quantity I feel like the personal pizza size is probably large enough to be shared by two, so long as you both also order an ice cream sandwich. It may seem small, but it has a very thick crust which ends up being filling. Value The prices were reasonable, with the personal pizzas costing between $5-$7 depending on the toppings. Full sized pizzas looked to be around $15, which still did not seem to be that bad. Ambiance Tio Colo is located in Hialeah, a little shop in the middle of a bunch of warehouses. The shop is small and other than a counter and two couches there is not much to say. Behind the counter is the list of pizza choices and flavors of ice cream sandwiches. After you order you grab a seat and wait for the pizza to come out. The walls are painted a bright pink and they did not have music playing during my visit. My personal pizza only took about 7 minutes to come out, but it probably is best to order ahead of time, just not too much as it does not seem like a pizza that will hold up well over time. Crowd As I waited for my pizza, two other individuals stopped in to grab pizzas to go. For a small shop at a strange hour, it seemed like a good amount of business. Service They had one guy behind the counter and even though Spanish was clearly his primary language, I had no issues at all communicating my order. He also checked in on whether I wanted my pizza crispier and made sure it looked good to me before I headed off. Solid service from a small shop. Parking The pizza shop is located in a row of odd stores with a private parking lot directly in front of it. The spots seemed small and the entrances and exits required some precision turning, but parking was still pretty convenient. Extra My first foray with Cuban pizza was not what I would consider a success. Maybe it is because of my own preconceptions of pizza, but the style and flavor of the pizza at Tio Colo were just not enjoyable to me. And while I enjoyed my Mango Ice Cream Sandwich, it was not enough to merit a repeat visit.

What a hidden gem!!! Thank god for apple maps because we would have never known this place existed. Small little walk in shop, just sells pizza and Cuban ice cream sandwiches. Hard to explain but think of yellow cake (but not cake) with sugar all over it and ice cream in the middle. Kinda like that but 100x better than what I tried to explain haha. Just amazing. We tried the Guava (my FAV), dulce de leche, cookies & cream and chocolate. Hands down worth stopping by if your ever in the area.

This is a hidden gem in Hialeah. I first found out about them thanks to their ice cream sandwiches and as time passed they got into making pizzas. Everything I've tried from them has always tasted great. Fast & friendly service. 10 out of 10 for me & my family.

Really nice budget friendly place to get some pizza or spaghetti. But they're actually famous for the Bocadito de Helado, which is like an ice cream sandwich. Mantecado and Mamey are my favorite

This is a family place with really good Cuban Pizza but ice cream really good mommy Shake

Ok for years now I have loved Tio Colo's bocadito ice cream sandwiches. They are amazing and they take me back to my childhood. My favorite ones is Malta & Mango. For a while back now they have been making cuban pizza and I was a little skeptical about trying it. Well I finally did and oh my goodness, I had no idea what I was missing! Literally the best cuban pizza I've had, probably in my life. Will definitely be a pizza customer from now on! Yummy!!!!

One of Hialeah/Miami hidden Gems! This is one of the Best Cuban pizzas I have had in Miami. The dough is airy and not dense at all. The sauce is not to salty or sweet. They use two types of cheeses. Which are gouda and mozzarella cheese. The pizza maker was brought from Cuba to make the Delicious Pies. They have no delivery! You can call your order in and pick it up. I have had the Bacon and ham pizza. Both were Delicious. The inside is small no area to sit and eat your Pizza but I have heard they are going to renovate the place to accommodate some tables and chairs. They also have ice cream sandwiches or Cuban Bocaditos. It's ice cream sandwiched between a thin sugar cake. My favorite flavors to get are coconut, almond, and vanilla. Que Sabroso! If you haven't tried this place you're missing out!

Best Cuban pizza and ice cream in town ... period. Service was fast and friendly, staff is phenomenal. I cant wait to go again.

This little hole in the wall is tucked deep into the Northwest Hialeah area where warehouses and businesses are abundant. But don't worry plug it into your GPS and you will find it. Plenty of parking is available in the small plaza. This is a must visit. In fact, If I were to do a blog on Top 10 places to visit in Hialeah...this would definitely make the list. Purely for authenticity alone. When you walk into this location, small is an understatement. The pink color is a little shocking at first but you do get a sense of Cuba. You are greeted by the friendly Cuban owner and her son. The one thing I admire most is the drive that some Cubans have to make it here in the United States. The owner and her son have that drive. They have done a wonderful job creating an authentic bocadito de helado Cubano (Cuban Ice Cream Pastry). They have a variety of flavors but my favorites were of course the guava, mamey, and coco. Pure Cubanita right here. My mom had the Chocolate and she loved it. They are $2 a pop so it is easy to go over board. Do not expect an elaborate dessert. Its simple, straightforward, and delicious. No surprises here. The Pizza here blows Rey's Pizza out of the water. It is your typical Cuban Pizza (Please do not compare it to Italian Pizza. You will be disappointed). Thick bread, light on sauce, heavy on the cheese. What's not to love? They have a small size for $5 or you can add toppings for an extra dollar. They also have a large size. This place gets packed so make sure to call ahead if you want pizza.

I really can't stress how authentically Cuban this place is. This brings back so many memories for me. As a child going grocery shopping daily at Xtra or Sedanos my grandfather will let me get a bocadito de helado at the end. Not only did I enjoy doing groceries with him I especially looked forward to this cake and ice concoction. As I got older and stop going with him on these trips I stopped having my bocaditos. I didn't hear or see if these for at least 10-15 years. Then I saw this place tucked away in a corner of a not so populated warehouse district in HIALEAH gardens (fortunately for me on the same street of my house) and suddenly all these wonderful memories came back. They taste as good as I remember. They have so many more choices than the typical vanilla strawberry or chocolate. My favorite growing up was chocolate now I truly enjoy the Mamey or cookies and cream. Not only do they have the ice cream sandwiches but now they Cuban pizza too. The ham is really good but the best is the bacon or chorrizo. Crazy good better than Reys pizza or any other spot. Support these local Cuban owned businesses and have your self a treat at Colos. You won't be disappointed.

Since I first tried cuban pizza five months ago while I was traveling for work in NYC it became my favorite pizza ever. When I moved back to sunny Florida three months ago, I found myself looking desperately for a cuban pizza place... I just couldn't help it... It was love at first sight and I knew it I will be lucky since Hialeah (most famous cuban neighborhood in America) is located in SoFlo. Also as any Yelper would have done, I took at look on Yelp about what would be the best place to find cuban pizza in Soflo so I found this place and I got excited right away! We drove to the address the app shows and we got to one of their locations (tiny space, no sitting tables, is more like a pickup place) but the lady who was in charge was very very nice and told us to try a different location that actually has tables. We got to this location but it was kinda hard to find it because they don't have a sign with the name of the place. Actually they still have the old sign with the old name of the place lol! Even though the staff was nice they seemed to be really disorganized and not prepared at all. We Were seating there and nobody offered us drinks or anything. When the guy who was making the pizza at the kitchen showed up at the tables we could ask him for drinks (thank God). Other customers showed up and they seemed to be also disappointed with the customer service. I'm sure next time I go to this place they have improved their service because even though I had a 'meh' experience yesterday, the food was absolutely awesome.

I had been following this place on Instagram for quite some time and had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to convince my man (who isn't a pizza fan - wth , right?!) to go grab some at Tio Colo for me. Today was finally the day! He actually volunteered to go for me (I really try to avoid driving in Hialeah whenever possible) and ... Oh am I ever glad he did!! The pizza is so, so, so delicious - authentic tasting CUBAN pizza. Yum! My man also surprised me and picked up some ice cream as well. The mantecado was PERFECTION. I am laying in bed right now as I type this and my tummy is just so content and all I want to do is go to sleep haha. #helloooooheartburn Can't wait to have some more amazing pizza from Tio Colo!!!

I absolutely love these little ice cream bocaditos. I wrote a review a few years back of an establishment called Tio Colo's on 8th St. I am assuming that they are one & the same because the bocaditos are just as delish. Back then, the new owners were just starting to make pizzas and made one on the house for us to try. Although I have yet to try the pizza at this new location, they do smell delicious. The bocaditos come in a variety of flavors aside from your basic chocolate, vanilla & strawberry. My husband loves the mamey and my momma bear is thrilled with the mantecado. According to her, not many can nail an authentic mantecado flavor. The cookies & cream is good and I am looking forward to trying the almendra next time. The place is tini tiny and hidden in a warehouse district in Hialeah. Not a place to eat in. Just grab & go. And hope that your ice cream does not melt on the way. We have learned to take our little cooler bag with ice packs in order to bring extras home to Kendall. At only $2 a pop, it's a deliciously cheap indulgence.

First time visitor. This is a small place, no tables, just chairs, 8 be exact. However, who cares when the product is good..at least judging by other reviews.. The owner took my order and the pizza maker right away started to work on it. I noticed the bread looked thick, which I'm not a fan of. So I asked if they could make it thinner, they said yes of course. Unfortunately there was nothing thin about this pizza. That is not to say it wasn't good...the pizza was fresh, well cooked and had a great presentation. I just didn't see anything special with this pizza at all, not like many reviews are claiming here. Again, not a bad taste, but nothing special. Perhaps my preference for a thinner crust is influencing my judgement, however I can eat regular crust, but this one was beyond that, this pizza had a thickness of a cuban bread. Again, perhaps this is what a traditional cuban pizza is all about and I don't know any better. I also tried every flavor of the bocaditos de helados. Now, let me tell you about perfection. That was simply amazing! The best ice cream type sandwich I ever had. Great job guys. Overall, not a bad experience. The place looked very clean and the owner was super nice. I'll be back for more ice cream.

Exceptional cuban pizza, and don't even get me started on the icecream sandwiches, they're to die for... all around a very good place and super friendly staff.

Love this hidden gem. The Cuban pizza is way better than Rey's Pizza. Just look at the cheesiness! Amazing pizza and ice cream what more can you ask for? Recommend the mantecado bocadito, you won't regret.

Why did I give them four stars? Great customer service, small business, decent pizza, good prices and above all else... ICE CREAM! Omg this is dangerous. The ice cream is made by them and it is delicious, reminds me of being back on the island walking to the colmados and getting local Ice creams made by grandmas. This was my first time trying cuban pizza, a little thicker than I'm used to but I can see myself purchasing it again, especially the chorizo one. The place does look a little run down, could use a fresh coat of pepto pink (which I loved) and a little cleaning. I'm already planning on heading over to stock my fridge with Ice creams! Naranja piña was bomb diggity.

The ice cream sandwiches here are to die for. Im sure they use Valentini ice cream but the bread that they use is what makes these iconic. Im.not a fan of Cuban pizza but it is good here, i just come here and get like 6 different sandwiches to go.

Tio Colo has the BEST ice cream sandwiches. I have yet to eat any pizza but it looks fantastic and I can't wait to go back and try some. But seriously all about the ice cream sandwiches, very good!

Love, Love, Love this place. You have to try the chorizo pizza, the vegetable, the supreme. Dont forget to order some ice cream to go. We tried the matecado, mango, chocolate , strawberry.

Decided to give this place a try after my friend told me about it. To tell you the truth it exceded my expectations. I got the ham personal pizza and it was delicious. Freshly made at the spot, lots of cheese and ham. Super crunchy on the outsides... simply amazing!!. And it doesn't end there. The ice cream sandwich is sooo goood. Definitely a must try.

So I drove all the way to hialeah from homestead and omg I don't regret it. That guava pizza was so bomb! I also had a bocadito de mantecado YUM! Brought back many memories from my childhood in Cuba. The only thing was they don't have tables for you to sit and eat. So I had to drive back home and eat the pizza in the car.
