We made a reservation for 7:30, arrived at 7:20. Parking was extremely limited- which we took as a good sign as we had to wait for someone to leave to get a spot walked in right at 7:30, they seemed under staffed & overly busy. Waited nearly 10 minutes for a young lady to approach us at the hostess stand. Glad we had a reservation though cuz the folks that had been waiting were still waiting another 15 minutes or so to get a table. We were sat right next to where the food came out which was fine but when making the reservation the gentleman stated he would have a nice table for us (patio). It was rather dark inside but our table was more lit being near the food run. The waitress Tammy was attentive. We were not served the bread w/oil & vinegar that our friends raved about but probably because we order the mozzarella flat bread for app. Hubs got the wild mushroom pasta with blackened chicken & I ordered the arugula spinach salad with berries & pecans & added blackened chicken. The chicken was moist & tasty. The marinara served w/ the flat bread was absolutely delicious! We'll revisit just for the marinara! read more

Went there for sons birthday, were there an extremely long due to meeting wife and friend were in ran extremely long and delayed them . Staff was extremely patient as we were next to last customers to leave. All the food was extremely good, only negative comment was chicken dish was too garlicky. Standouts was the mozzarella flat bread and the mushroom dish. Thanks for making an awkward situation of the rest of our group arriving very late to a great night of eating and visiting. . read more

There a very few places that I leave a review when it's just that good but this is the place. I just moved here from Austin which has some of the best food ever. I've tried a few places here that are good but this place is amazing. Not a single dish we tried was just okay. They were all 10/10. The drinks? 10/10. The pizza? 10/10. Pasta? 10/10. My only thing is a wish they had a hot honey and pepperoni pizza (one of my faves.) I will 1,000% be back. Blown away. read more

Switch - Pizza Near Me - Palestine, Texas

Extremely busy, Holy Thursday. Waited 45 minutes for a pizza. Arrived cold! Then we were told it would be remade, but instead it was just reheated. Came out in about 3 minutes. It was not worth the wait. We were told they had two big parties, maybe they need more wait staff. They could have given us a free dessert or salad while we waited. We had to ask for refills each time. The water tasted like mold. Maybe they need to clean the dispensing hoses. First time in Palestine, not coming back to this place. read more

Always delicious!!! The best pizza in town and not a bad price ! The pasta is also pretty darn good . Good drink menu for adults as well ! The service last time was a little shaky due to the new system they are using and the amount of customers but all in all it was a great experience as always . So if you are craving good pizza and want to get away from the hot and ready or big box combo from Pizza Hut I suggest y'all head up there and get ya something nice !! read more

We ate at Switch Brick-Oven for the first time tonight, celebrating my birthday. The outside of the building is beautiful, and the inside is a great rustic atmosphere. Our server, Trey, was wonderful! He gave us great recommendations and excellent service! Very nice and friendly guy. The food was very good. My husband had a pizza, and while he seldom likes pizza crust, he was blown away with how tasty their pizza crust is. The sauce and toppings were delicious! My steak was cooked exactly as I like and seasoned very well. The sides did not disappoint either. I had the Brussel Sprouts and a fancy potato dish (can't remember what it is called). Of course, being my birthday, we ordered dessert! Yum! We will be back and are telling friends about our experience. read more

Stop charging for the sauce with Chips... Food and drink has a huge markup, it's part of doing business to take any form of payment. I wonder if everyone that pays by credit quit coming if you would remain open? Seriously if you absorbed the $1.55 on a $45 tab I'm sure across your menu you can figure it out ... recently saw a ticket that reflected a savings if you paid cash. So maybe if I go to the trouble of getting cash then you could reduce the $45 to $43.45 Ps: is your website going to ever work? It's been 6 months and it appears like you still have made no progress read more

House salad and lemon vinaigrette. A glass of Mendoza Ar wine. The atmosphere is astounding and for a small or larger group. The over is visible from dinner. The flow of the service from the kitchen is professional and relaxed. Service is worth a tip read more

Switch - House salad and lemon vinaigrette. A glass of Mendoza Ar wine. - Pizza Near Me - Palestine, Texas

Love this place. My only complaint was I wish they were open more. Delicious pizza. Easy to get a table. Fair prices. You have to eat here

A lovely find!!! The food and service were excellent. If we ever go through Palestine again, we will stop and visit!

It's worth the drive to the top of the hill to eat at Switch! The building that's a former church is definitely a very unique setting for wonderful Italian food and pizza. My friends and I tried several dishes and they were all very good. Portions were big, too. Service was great even late in the evening, and our glasses were kept full. I definitely want to go back! read more

Great food , great service , and great pricing ! The specials are very enticing , and desserts are fantastic !

Didn't even get to try the food! Called on the way about 2 hours out to make sure they would be open. They said they would. Showed up at 7:10 with my wife, and they tell us they stopped serving at 7:00. The regular hours show they are open until 10:00!! Pretty wild. Oh not to mention the lady that answered the phone was pretty rude to begin with. Will never know how the food tastes! read more

In town for one night, the hotel and Yelp directed us to Switch, and were so glad we took the recommendations. The restaurant is off the beaten path located in a prior church, so you will only find it if you are committed. That said, they have repurposed the space well to make a comfortable environment. What was most impressive was the pizza. So good, so tasty. We requested a few substitutions to their supreme, and they were happily made. The result was the very best pizza we've had. We were so pleased we ordered another to take home. Thin crust, fresh ingredients, delicious sauce, great service, pleasant atmosphere, what's not to love? I wish we lived closer, but it's a couple hours from Dallas. read more

So surprised at the lightning fast service here! Driving through Palestine, we almost didn't stop because it was so crowded we thought it would delay our trip. However, we were immediately seated, ordered and had finished our meal within 35 minutes! Awesome service, neat atmosphere, and food was good. We had Margherita pizza with a side salad. The dill ranch dressing was delicious. Definitely will return! Such a neat little hidden gem. read more

Amazing pizza and ambiance! Best pizza in this little town. We always take our guests from out of town and they never disappoint!

Service was meh. The restaurant itself was cute and set back out of the way. We were not impressed with the food. The garlic bread was definitely not worth the price we paid. The pasta didn't have much flavor but did have a little heat. The pizza was just meh. read more

The pizza was awesome. Service was the best and atmosphere was really nice. Definitely will try this place again

So so thankful we found this gem in Palestine! Thank you Yelp for that!! We came for polar express last year but didn't find this place at that time- this year we got a later time for the train and ate here before and it was so perfect!! I read the review about the parking lot which totally made me laugh and it's so true- the parking lot is Janky!! It's such a cute place- great ambiance- unique. The staff are super friendly! It's not huge so definitely make reservations if you can! We made reservations by calling that morning- they don't open until 4:30 but someone answered. It was hopping when we went on a Tuesday night! We tried 3 appetizers- the shishitos, the fried artichokes and the truffle fries. We enjoyed all of them- shishitos and fried artichokes are seriously some of my favorite appetizers in general so I was super excited to see those on the menu! Shishitos needed some salt in my opinion. The sauce for the artichokes was good but needed a little tweaking- maybe some more seasoning or something- more acid in it or something. We tried the switch pizza which was great- it really is the perfect crust- it tastes like big city pizza, not a little town like Palestine because it really is great!! We also got the house salad which was good- a tad too much dressing but not bad. Service was great! Totally recommend this place!! Excited to go back sometime!! read more

EXIT NOW or forever regret it! This place is the Bee Knees! Fun drive up the hill and behind the tall, mature trees you'll find this not-so-secret gem. Walked in to find a packed house but attentive and quick servers. Everyone was working fast and hard getting drinks, taking orders, making food and running like clockwork. We ordered the Chips Appetizer and Meatball Appetizer. Holy smokes that meatball appetizer was a game changer. Tender, delish, fresh mozzarella and bread that ratatouille dreams about. I ordered the Creole Cajun pasta. Perfect amount of spice and sauce. Chicken was tender and flavorful! My entire table tried a bite and almost every single one of them slapped their mother's it was so good. Hubby and kiddos devoured pizza and not a crumb was left to share. This place knows how to run a business and run it well. Kudos to the owners and everyone they have hired. read more

The service and food was amazing. Hand down the best pizza around. Can't wait to go back to try some pasta. This place is a little secluded and really cute. This place is a must try!!! read more

They are much more than just pizza and pasta. The establishment was fantastic and the food was delicious. Everything was prepared with an eye for presentation and tasted absolutely amazing. The staff was very friendly and recommendations were spot on. You knew they enjoy the food there too. I had the spaghetti and meatball and it was no ordinary spaghetti as it was in two different sauces and the meatballs were light and flavorful. It wasn't heavy at all. Amazing mixture of different meats in the meatball. My salad was equally as tasty with the right balance of vinegar and oil. To close it out with a slice of chocolate mousse cake was equally decadent. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. You'd think you stepped into a michelin star's restaurants. This place is a total hidden gem. I travel for work and find myself in odd places and this place wowed me. I'm a foodie and this place hit all the right notes. Chef's kiss. Sorry no picture as I was both famished and the food was that good. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. Everything we had was great, epically the pizza! The service was the best. Such nice people there. The restaurant is in a little bit of an odd area but don't let that take away from how good the food is. I've been there a couple of times and it's the best food in Palestine. read more

Success! Takeout from Switch was amazing. We stayed in Palestine overnight while visiting a couple of State Parks. We really wanted to support the local restaurants and reached out to Switch after seeing great reviews here. The pictures do not do this restaurant and food justice. The pizza was mouthwatering and the mozzarella superb. Both of our pizza's were delicious and the bread was moist with just the right amount of garlic. The service was fantastic and on time. We only wish they could open so we could enjoy the dine-in option. We will absolutely go back when we are in town again. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS RESTAURANT. Order curbside pickup, you will not be disappointed. read more

Without a doubt this is the best place to eat in Palestine. Excellent service, tasty food.

I would recommend this place. The food was delicious and I loved the ambiance. My wife ordered the garden pizza and I ordered the creole pasta with blackened chicken. My wife really enjoyed her pizza but my pasta was little bland. For creole food, I expected a little heat but that's all I got: heat and little flavor. A little salt and pepper remedied that. For dessert we shared a slice of their chocolate cake. Service was friendly and had no issues with our order. read more

I give up on food in Palestine. I know Palestine isn't exactly a foodie heaven but still. This was the higher rated restaurant so I figured it can't possibly be that bad? Boooooy was I wrong. I dropped almost $50. Got some stuffed pork which was absolutely dry and disgusting. Tasted like something I'd imagine prison camp food to taste like. Also got some shrimp dish, meatballs, and tiramisu. Seriously it was all trash. No flavour and just dry. My favorite thing here was the bread and mozzarella cheese. I should have gotten subway. Service was good.hence the 2 stars...but I suspect I was like their 3rd customer... Final grade: D- Never again. read more

We looked up the hours for this restaurant and planned to come here after watching a movie. We found 10 pm as the closing time. We arrived and opened the door at about 8:59 pm. The hostess informed is that they stopped seating and we would not be served. We said, "Oh, your website said 10 pm." She then proceeded to argue with us, claiming that there is no website, only a Facebook page, and that all of the information is up there ... we just missed it. I pointed out she was wrong. Probably a mistake on my part ... she kicked me out and slammed the door behind me. Maybe update your publicity, folks? We aren't pondering t what you're pondering. We really do think 10 means 10, not 9. I won't be back. I don't take kindly to having a door slammed on me. Immature, to say the least. And sad. This place used to be top notch. If this is how the hostess stand behaves, how is the rest of the house doing? read more

Great place to eat with awesome food and atmosphere! The food has never disappointed and the service is great!

One of the best places in Palestine, if not the best. Pasta has been great, and the wine list is small but well chosen. Beer selection leaves much to be desired, but who drinks beer with spaghetti, anyway? I have no yet had a chance to try the pizza, but everyone whom I speak to says that the pizza is really the way to go, so it must be phenomenal. read more

Excellent! We had the fried artichoke with caper aioli appetizer- very good. Batter was light and crisp. Ordered the sausage and pepper pizza. Sausage was delicious with fennel seed and pizza was cooked perfectly. Can't wait to come back Only drawback was confusion on hours. Their website is under construction- Yelp listed them as opening at 12 which is when we showed up ( drove 1 1/2 hours to get there ). They do not open until 2 pm on Saturdays so we drove around for a few hours checking out Palestine. read more

A great find in an unusual building, I wouldn't have expected Neapolitan pizza of this quality in a small town like this. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. The dough is just the right amount of chewy and has a great char from their wood fired oven. The sauce was let the San marzano tomatoes shine through without being bland. The toppings were plentiful and nicely balanced. Overall this was a great experience and you should definitely try this place if you love this type of pizza and are in the area. read more

Wow. Wife and I finally got out of the house for a overnight trip in Palestine. We did a search the week prior and decided to make a RSVP at Switch for today at 4:30pm. Impressive from the outside, restaurant is surrounded by a grove of trees and reportedly was a church at one time. Walked through the sliding doors and greeted immediately. Seated within minutes and our waiter, Ismael, immediately approach the table. He made some suggestions and took our drink and appetizer orders. Appetizers arrived within a short period of time and were fantastic. Chips, Seared Tuna and blistered peppers. Then we ordered some Moscato and shrimp scampi and the "Oink" pizza. Very nicely presented and quite tasty. We really enjoyed dinner and if we lived in the immediate area I could see us being regulars. But we will be back. And you should try it. You will not regret it. read more

This is a place well worth going off the beaten path to find ! We often overlook Switch, but so glad we went today. I had the Blackened Cajun Chicken pasta with shrimp. It is a little spicy, but oh so good ! It comes with a piece of garlic bread that will melt in your mouth. I also had a dinner salad, that was very tasty! Our waiter was excellent! My tea glass never got empty and man was it good ! No room today for cheesecake, but it sure looked delicious. When in Palestine, Go get Full read more
