Palermo's Italian Restaurant

Some of the best thin crust you can get in the city we ordered it “paper thin” if you’re not a fan of sweet sauce you will not like this pie however if you do it’s some of the best sweet sauce I’ve ever had. Truly a one of a kind experience.

good pizza and nice ingredients. super saucer and good crust. the sauce is sweet though, if you like that it’s gonna be a high 8 for you.

Honestly the best fucking pizza in the country, IN MY OPINION. The hard working Sicilians really out did themselves with this one. The sweet sauce, cheese, crust combo is to die for. I’d never rate a pizza higher than Palermos

One of the best Pizzas in Chicago. True authentic Italian Ingredients always cooked to perfection. Flaky crust I could it by itself, perfectly made. Very unique sauce with a sweeter/brown sugary finish. I recommend dining in, sitting at the old school bar with a pitcher of beer. They may even give you the remote to the TV!

Incredible sauce!

Ok, so I feel like I need a way to preface this app with the fact that I’ve already eaten a TON of pizza all over the country prior to knowing about this app so I feel I have a pretty good level of experience in grading pizza. Especially being from the Midwest and especially close to Chicago. Reviewers have this place at an 8 which I feel is a respectable review. Many of the comments made on other sites list this location as one of the best on the south side but I can’t say I agree with that. I ordered the original thin crust with sausage and Italian beef. Pizza is tavern cut. Overall rating here for me is simple: Crust = Excellent crunch/crisp. Held up very well all the way to the middle. Sauce = Tasty but a little too sweet for my personal liking. Didn’t stop me from eating it though. Still very good but tasted like it would double as the pasta sauce as well. Cheese = Standard mozzarella. Toppings = Had to do the sausage based on other reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Tasted fresh and very good. I don’t particularly choose chunk sausage as I like mine ground but I’m not basing the review on that. The Italian beef addition is just one of my things. All in all it was a solid slice. I would eat it any day of the week. The other takeaway is excellent service in an otherwise classic, old school Italian restaurant setting. And that, equals my review.
