Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs could be the Poster Child for the red sauce- mom & pop- Italian pizza joint industry!
Jeff Eats loves this joint with all my heart and soul!- (I know, a bit over-dramatic).
It’s just too bad that it’s such a schlep from my Boca Raton abode to Hialeah!
I singled-out Salvatore’s pizza to get the conversation started- but trust Jeff Eats when I tell you guys, it’s all good at this joint!

***** Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs, 1550 West 84th Street, Hialeah, Florida 33027, (305) 821-7016.
Let’s call Salvatore Pizza “an out of sight, out of mind” mom & pop- red sauce- Italian joint…
First told you guys about Salvatore Pizza on November 10, 2014- hadn’t been back until last night’s “drama” dinner with Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats. Why such a long hiatus between visits?- Salvatore Pizza’s Hialeah location and Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode aren’t exactly “next door” to one another. Why the “drama”?- As I’m sure it’s the same with your family- That’s the $64,000 question!
Long story short, this joint’s food is off the chart delicious. You live, you work, you play in Salvatore Pizza’s neighborhood- you gotta give it a shot!

Got a real good one for you…Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs in Hialeah.
First things first,
You guys know and Jeff Eats knows, that “mom & pop”-red sauce Italian joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida. No ifs ands or buts, almost every dumpy-strip center has one of them. For the record, we also know-that these strip center pizza joints aren’t solely- indigenous (I did go to college)- to South Florida, all 50 states got them…
Anyway,
Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies recently had lunch at Salvatore Pizza and I gotta tell you, I loved the joint.
When you check Salvatore Pizza’s menu at salvatoreinhialeah.com, you’re gonna find the expected full-boat of appetizers/pizzas/pastas/subs/salads/calzones-stromboli/entrees/desserts.
Jeff Eats and Buddies Jeff Eats ordered…veal parm sub (8″-$9), meatball sub (8″-$7), large plain pizza (16″-$11), calzone ($13) and I-must tell you, Salvatore Pizza killed it! No fooling here, everything was delicious.
Now, you guys know that Jeff Eats really isn’t into lists or rankings, but the- calzone stuffed with ricotta/mozzarella/romano cheeses definitely deserved a special shout-out! So- HELLO CALZONE!!
Nothing fancy going on at Salvatore Pizza. Solid and I do mean SOLID pizza joint stuff.
Like I said 4 seconds ago, Jeff Eats loved Salvatore Pizza.
The perfect Jeff Eats’ lunch…red sauce galore, loads of Coca Cola, good friends, plenty of napkins and no Mrs. Jeff Eats’-drama… bitching about- how I was stuffing my face, hadn’t taken a “lactose” pill and how I would be up all night gagging from indigestion.
Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs is open Monday-Thursday 10am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-11pm, Sunday noon-10pm.
This story first appeared on 12/31/17. Jeff Eats just checked the Boca Black Box Box-Office and goldstar.com (discount tickets) and there are a handful of really good seats left for tonight’s (8pm) show. Trust me on this one, this guy Norris’ stand-up act is off the chart funny! You guys don’t want to miss him!

Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl.
Long story short,
The other day while shopping at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031- Jeff Eats came across and purchased the above pictured Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl ($2.99)- and all I can say- is that even Secretariat lost (twice to be precise)! Just a subjective call (what I like you may hate and vice versa)- Trader Joe’s missed by a mile with this- Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl! What sounded like a dream combo- pepperoni/pizza sauce/mac & cheese ended up in the garbage pail after 2 bites! Bad news!- But like I just said, purely a subjective call!
from traderjoes.com
There are foods you eat every day, and there are foods you dream about eating. Those dream foods exist only in your imagination, and bring you such immense pleasure in the abstract. But they’re not real. What if we told you we made a dream come true?
Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl (henceforth, Pizza Mac & Cheese) began as a dream, and we made it a reality. Each Bowl begins as ordinary mac & cheese, a classic combination of elbow macaroni and Cheddar cheese. Our foray into food fantasy takes shape with the addition of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and slices of uncured pepperoni. It’s not fancy; it is fantastic! With every bite, your palate will puzzle the answers to: Is this pizza? Is this mac & cheese? We assure you; it’s both! You’re welcome.
One of the dreamiest things about our version is you can buy it at Trader Joe’s and have a hot forkful in your mouth in about six minutes. (That’s prepped in the microwave; conventional oven requires about half an hour cooking time.)
We’re selling each 12 ounce Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl for $2.99 – even the price is dreamy!
This article first appeared on 12/10/17. Jeff Eats just checked ticketmaster.com, fauevents.com and goldstar.com (discount tickets) and there are a bunch of really good seats left for this concert! So if you wanna go, it’s definitely time to make your move on the ticket front!

Lonesome Traveler
at the Carole and Barry Kaye
Performing Arts Auditorium in FAU
from poprockdoowopp.com
Enjoy an evening of American folk music. The roots of American folk music with special guest star & folk legend Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary! The story of folk music is truly the story of an ever-changing America. Experience the enduring power and popularity of American folk music with Lonesome Traveler, the stirring concert version of the acclaimed Off-Broadway musical that the New York Times called “illuminating… revelatory… achingly beautiful.” The show celebrates the music of great folk artists including Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Pete Seeger and the Weavers, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Donovan, Cat Stevens, Don McClean, James Taylor, Van Morrison with a special tribute to Leonard Cohen.
Charismatic young singers and multi-instrumentalists return us to a time when music brought us together – when it changed us. Complete with period costumes, this unforgettable concert event features romantic duets, patriotic songs, church hymns, union anthems and songs of protest, taking us from the 1920s to the 1960s and beyond– from the front porches of Appalachia to the nightclubs of San Francisco and New York – from the festival stages of Newport to the sound stages of Los Angeles. Songs like: “If I Had a Hammer,“ “Puff The Magic Dragon,” “This Land is Your Land,” “This Little Light of Mine,” “Blowin in the Wind”, “Like a Rolling Stones”, “Turn, Turn Turn”, “American Pie”, and “Hallelujah”.
Folk legend Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary has enthusiastically endorsed the show and will be appearing in this production of the show as a special guest star.
An inspiring evening of great music, Lonesome Traveler: The Concert makes its Central Florida debut, presenting a revealing perspective of the roots forever embedded in our culture and bringing together audiences of all ages.

***** Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar.
Yesterday, while shopping at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031- Jeff Eats came across and purchased one of the above pictured $6.99-Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars and I gotta tell you guys, that it was so delicious that last night- I ate the entire 15.7oz Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar while watching the 1 hour and 58 minute tv pay-per-view showing of the film- Marshall! Am I proud of myself? Yes I am!
Let me close by saying, that unless you are allergic to pecans and/or chocolate- you gotta try Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars! By the way, Jeff Eats loved Marshall and I’m getting a bit tired of Trader Joe’s employees always being so happy and polite!
from traderjoes.com
More often than not, pies are round. This pie is not—it’s rectangular, which is why we decided to call it a “bar.” Shape isn’t too important, though, because Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pecan Bar is still pie-like—and a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pie-but-not-pie treat, at that.
A filling made of brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate, and butter rests in a flaky pastry crust and is hand-topped with pecan halves. It’s equally suited for a holiday dessert tray or a tasty after-a-giant-turkey-meal treat. The bar shape allows for a variety of serving options: do you prefer squares, or smaller bars? Perhaps even triangles? What we’re saying is you’re not confined to the classic “pie wedge.” And, there are corner pieces (four, to be exact) for all those pie crust lovers.
We’re selling each 15.7-ounce Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar for $6.99, throughout the holiday season.
This contest started on 1/7/18. This contest has a winner.
