Pizza Palermo

This is where we order all of our delivery pizza from. We pretty much order pizza, hoagies, and sometimes wings. We order online since you get free breadsticks. I usually freeze the breadsticks and then we pull them out if we want some as a quick side for a meal.
The pizza is typical delivery pizza. I actually feel like all of the pizza places that deliver around here have pretty much cloned pizza. It all is so similar. Every time we get food from here, it comes hot, and it usually takes about an hour for delivery. I just expect that, but sometimes it comes faster. It’s like a bonus.
Their buffalo chicken stuff is really good. I love the hot sauce they use. It’s not really a buffalo sauce, but it’s a really good hot sauce and it’s pretty hot. I thought it was just special for their hoagies, but it’s what they use for the hot wings too. Definitely hotter than a typical hot wing. The hot sauce alone makes it worth ordering things from Palermo.

I’m just going to get to the point I had the steak calzone it look pretty but it was the worst thing I’ve ever spent $ 14 on. No seasoning on the steak the mushrooms and onions were not sauté they just cut them an through them into my calzone.
This calzone is so bad its to the point where I want you to buy it just to taste it just so you can see how bad it is Never Again!!!

I work at a local school and ordered food as a reward for my students. I was a little nervous because I ordered online and needed it by 10:45. I was heading towards the office when the delivery guy called at 10:43. He was super friendly. I already paid online, so it was an easy transaction. The kids loved the hoagies and we even got free breadsticks! I will definitely be ordering from there again! Thank you Pizza Palermo, from a new customer.

Refuses to deliver after 2am even though they say that they take orders until 2:30am was so rude on the phone. And would not take order to have it delivered because they said they were too busy and didn’t want to stay past 3am to deliver it if you want business you stay open and deliver the orders that you take until the time that you say you take them until.

This is a pretty solid place — the pizza is good, though not great (can’t hold up to Mercurios, IMO), although the gourmet pizzas are actually good value for money, but what I think this place is really, really commendable for are their crisp, rich calzones and strombolis (no equals in Pittsburgh), and quick delivery service (usually deliver before time, and I live in Squirrel Hill).

As the old adage goes, «you pay for what you get.» This is true of Pizza Palermo. The food is reasonably priced and thus tastes reasonable. Don’t expect to be blown away… this isn’t the best pizza in Pittsburgh (see Aiello’s, Mercurio’s, or Il Pizaiolo for that), but it still tastes good and is super convenient if you live in Shadyside. I would, however, recommend getting toppings on the pizza. For some reason the plain cheese pizza comes out pretty greasy. The hoagies are also solid. Definitely recommended. As far as pizza goes, you could do A LOT worse in this town.

The worst Italian food I have had in a very long time.
The eggplant parmigiana came as a big massive mixed up soggy spaghetti noodles with marinara mixed in like some old slop house, I didn’t find any kind of eggplant in there I added a meatball and it was all chopped up mixed in and the flavor was bland and mediocre. The whole thing was soggy mass.
They were kind enough to send a large order of breadsticks they were fine.
I think I spent about $ 25 and I wouldn’t have paid $ 4 for the whole thing.

Forget this place. Service is slow, staff disorganized and after a very long wait, the employee walked out, I thanked him for the food and was met by silence and his back as he walked away after plopping this marginal at best Italian sub in the table.
So here is the scoop on the sub, baked roll with a small portion of meat (if you are charging me 8 bucks for half a sub… you may want to consider a bit more substance to it). The Italian dressing was right out of a bottle. Another thing I look for is some type of home made dressing for subs. It wouldn’t kill these dudes to make a vinegar and oil based dressing with a few herbs.
I think this was a one time visit. I may have considered trying the pizza but acting like the customer is a pain, poor service and just rude employees isn’t enough for me to buy your crap.

In my mind, this place is pretty solid. The sandwiches are tasty, the pizza hits the spot, service is adequate, and they have $ 8 lunch specials. They have a fairly extensive menu as well.
Id recommend the Italian hoagie, I think they do it quite well here. The half is plenty for one person.
It’s a great spot just a 10 minute walk from Walnut, and seems to literally always be open. I’m pleased.

I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and a side of cannolis. Both of which were amazing. I like hot sauce and it is definitely a HOT sauce. The chicken was perfect. The cannolis were fresh and very good! Excellent service as well.

The worst gyros I have ever had. No meat in it and it was not cheap. Stay away from this place. I will not be going back here again !

I was impressed with how big their menu is given how small the actual place is. There were numerous pasta, hoagie, burger, appetizer, salad, calzone, stromboli, and gyro options… and pizza of course. I have tried the pizza and the cheese steak hoagie. I would go back for the pizza, but not the cheese steak. There are plenty of tables to enjoy lunch at, or dinner if you wanted, but I wouldn’t really consider this a dine-​in dinner location. They do have delivery and take-​out which are probably the primary business. Catering options are available for large gatherings.

This is one of the better pizza spots in Pittsburgh to order from. Their menu is so extensive that I am fairly sure that any one person in the city would be able to find something that will put their hunger at bay.
I opted once for their fries with cheese and bacon on them. This falls under their appetizers portion of the menu, but honestly it could be a menu item all on its own. It is a healthy portion (that may sound oxymoronic) of fries. You get to pick the cheese you want those fries to be smothered in and then crumbled bacon tops that off. I almost always opt for the cheese sauce, that way I am guaranteed that the cheese makes its way to the bottom of the fries as well. When I first ordered this item, I made the mistake of ordering another item on the menu and I should have just stuck with the fries. They are more than enough.
I have had an array of items from the menu, but the fries are what stuck with me. This may end up being my go to place when I can’t decide what I want to snack on.
Staff are polite when you order, if you get delivery they are quite speedy. One thing to know for delivery: $ 1 delivery fee.

I had wings and a pie. The wings was over fried and way to greasy. The pie was a ⁵⁄₁₀. Not really a lot of flavor. Service was horrible! Was like I was a burden to them. Not coming back

Needed a quick meal last night for my fiancé, his 2 kids, and his friend. Found a coupon in the Enjoy book for ‘buy one, get one’ large pizzas. Almost 18 bucks for two. The wait was longer than I expected but the pizza was pretty good. No complaints from anyone and only a few slices left over.

This place gets a 4-​star review just for the incredible service. Though I didn’t order a pizza (breadsticks and fries), the guy on the phone said the delivery would take about 45 minutes. I was absolutely shocked when my phone rang after just 20 minutes. The food was good, about average to above average for breadsticks in the city, but I will definitely order from these guys again. It’s quite a rarity when a delivery order is half of the expected time you’re originally told.

My boyfriend and I ordered a pizza from here that was full of head hairs and some other kind of short hair (beard/​pubic/​??? hair). We called and complained, but were denied a refund. Instead, they offered a replacement pizza or $ 3 off our next order. Seriously? We’re going to avoid this place, and if you enjoy good customer service and hairless pizza, I suggest you do the same.

I’ve been to Pizza Palermo a couple of weeks back and while the staff seems really nice and friendly, the food just left me feeling meh.
I had the steak calzone and opted for having it in.
First up, I know this is not a «restaurant», but would proper cutlery and proper plates be too much to ask for? The calzone itself was quite hard and I struggled cutting it with my little plastic knife. On top of that the paper plates were soaked through after 1 minute making me paranoid eating the plate too. The calzone itself tasted pretty bland, there was not much flavor to it and I basically drowned it in ketchup just because I was hungry and I paid $ 14 for it. And to call something a «steak» calzone when in reality you put in a couple of slices of what seemed to be dry roast beef slices, is just unacceptable.
I am not really sure what their ‘specialty’ is as they must do something right reading all the other reviews. But, I don’t think I will be back as there are many, many pizza places serving better food than Pizza Palermo.

This is one of the best pizza places I’ve gone to so far in Pittsburgh. I’ve ordered quite a few pies here and what makes it even better is that it comes with a side of homemade ranch! That just makes the pizza taste even better. I’ve only ordered delivery from here and it has never taken longer than an hour to come and always hot and ready to eat. I do wish the delivery had just a tad shorter wait, but the connivence of not having to leave your place while still being able to eat some delicious pizza eventually, I can’t really complain much.

The food is pretty good, the pizza being the least impressive of their entire menu. Despite being quite expensive, they are absolutely obnoxious about charging for every little thing or making changes. I ordered spaghetti and wanted half white and half red sauce and got a call saying they «couldn’t do that.» You mean you literally, physically cannot substitute half of the red sauce and add a little bit of white sauce? Really? She said would have to «charge me for it.» You would have to charge me extra for the same quantity of sauce? Why, because of all the extra exerted effort? Same thing for any sort of sauce for wings, breadsticks, whatever. And, yes. They charge $ 0.75 for a tiny cup of sauce.
I mean, if you want to pay $ 35 for a pizza dinner this is a good option. The hoagies are especially good. However, you can get much better for much cheaper elsewhere.
