Frequently criticized
- pizzaMy experience at Domino's was disappointing due to the high cost for what was received. I was charged $79 for a large pepperoni pizza, 8 wings, and 16 garlic parmesan knots. For comparison, I noted that a similar order elsewhere was only $23.
- pizzasI would love to give 5 stars, but I was a little disappointed with their pizzas. I understand that they are a traditional pizzeria in São Paulo, but in Orlando, the pizzas were like little Caesar's upgraded.
- doughWe've visited a few times, but today, unfortunately, the pepperoni pizza had a horrible smell and the dough was overcooked. A Sunday ruined by spoiled pizza!
- Hawaiian pizzaThe Hawaiian pizza used minced ham and look like cat food. It was wet...
- authenticityNothing authentic about this place
- cheeseThe cheese tasted and felt like it was cheap and fake mozzarella
- crustand the crust was like a saltine cracker.
- fillingspizza was poor in terms of fillings
- flavornot much flavor
- flavorsNo flavours, not even salt
If you're craving authentic Brazilian-style pizza with unique toppings and a great crust, this spot is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful that while many love it, a few experiences suggest some dishes might not hit the mark on flavor or value.

- worth itit's definitely worth it
Frequently criticized
- priceI found the pizza to be small for the price charged. Actually, all Brazilian pizzerias in Orlando are more expensive than American ones, which I don't understand!
- expensiveextremely expensive!
- priceyVery pricey for what we got
- $79$79 for a pizza and two appetizers
- abusive pricesI felt bothered by the abusive prices. The night cashier, Luís, suggested cheese on the pepperoni pizza but added $5.
- added $5but add $5
- can of Cokecharging 4 dollars in a coca in lata
- cheeseIt would have been nice to have the pizza actually cut into slices, especially for $32. I also found it unusual to be charged $15 for pepperoni and $15 for cheese on one medium pie. While I may not know much, I do know that I will not be recommending this place to anyone.
- costHonestly, none of us in our group of over 12 people liked these pizzas. They are also super expensive; two of us paid over $70, including the tip.
- cost of the pizzaIt's very pleasant with excellent service. However, the cost of the pizza is a bit exaggerated, with a traditional 8-slice pizza averaging USD 40.
If you're looking for good value, this might not be your best bet, as most customers found it to be quite expensive. Be prepared for potentially high prices, especially for pizza and add-ons, and consider if the overall experience justifies the cost for you.

Outrageous Lemon Juice Price
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. However, I found the price of lemon juice at $8 for a non-refillable glass to be OUTRAGEOUS.
Considering a bag of lemons costs $3. 50 at Costco and can make about 30 glasses, this practice is unacceptable. I will not be returning.

Expensive Pizza, Barely Eaten
We were staying nearby and wanted a quick pizza after flying in and checking into our hotel. We weren't sure what 'Brazilian' pizza entailed, but we were hungry. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
We spent nearly $100 for two pizzas, and we barely ate half of it.

Best Pizza in Orlando!
My experience at this pizzeria was a 1000/1000! The place is super cozy, and we were very well attended to from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, César, was very attentive.
Regarding the pizza, I think it was the best I've ever eaten! I recommend the Calabresa pizza; it's truly special. Don't forget to order a sweet pizza for dessert; the Nutella with Strawberry was sensational!
For those of you living in Orlando or visiting, I highly recommend Camelo; you won't be disappointed!
