Chepalle - Capitan

We found this pretty cute place near the Smokey the Bear Museum. Excellent fresh hot pizza. Friendly service. Cool decor and great music inside. The signage is kind of hard to find, but definitely stop. Recommended!

Came into town for a softball tournament in Ruidoso in between games I stopped by this restaurant and let me tell you the experience here is just as good as the food. I had the Meat lovers pizza and I wish my stomach could hold more than the 4 pieces I ate. The waitress was honestly the best I've ever had hands down, she was on top of everything all the while training a girl who was new. As a first time customer she gave me a cookie that was amazing that the cook makes fresh. If you're in the area I would recommend checking this place out even if it's a bit of a drive for you, do yourself a favor and make the drive. I'll be coming back every time I'm in town, hell I'll probably go back tomorrow before I head back home.

The food was pretty good, especially the pizza with white sauce. The patio was enjoyable to sit on. It was nice that they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal for being first time customers. However, I don?t really recommend going here if you consider yourself Covid-conscious. The waitress pulled down her mask completely to talk to us and take our order. I overheard her telling other customers that she didn?t care what phone number they put down for contact tracing, that they could put down any random set of numbers. She obviously didn?t care about taking it seriously even though it?s a mandate for restaurants. The waitress did not ask us at all to fill out information for contact tracing.

I had the pastrami sandwich and it is by far the best I've ever had. They also offer calzones and pizzas, looking forward to try that.

We went to eat at Che Palle the other day after visiting Lincoln and we were pleasantly surprised! There is a patio, a cozy indoor dining room, and for those who are not patient while the food cooks, there is a chess board! We had the veggie pizza, which sadly was one of two veggie options, but it was very good! Our friends had the Reuben sandwich, pepperoni pizza and the gumbo and they loved their meal! Our server was also fun and took good care of us. Would definitely recommend!
