LA GUAJIRA – Restaurant

Hialeah's round-the-clock Cuban pizza counter, where the oven never really cools. La Guajira builds its pizzas the island way, soft-crusted and generous, with chorizo, pepperoni, chicharron and ham among the regulars and a guava-and-cheese version that lands somewhere between dinner and dessert. Spaghetti fills out the menu and the thick milkshakes get ordered almost as often as the food. The room is small, bright and kept spotless, Spanish is the working language, and orders move fast. What customers mention again and again is the speed, and pizza that tastes the way they remember it.
