In Short
A local fave since 1961, this place is packed with locals and does a booming delivery and carry-out business too. The comfy interior boasts an old-fashioned decor of brick arches, food and wine posters and a smoky bar. The enormous menu covers all the Italian-American bases: grilled shrimp and calamari with roasted red peppers, baked chicken Vesuvio, enormous pasta dishes with fresh, mild tomato sauce, and thin-, regular-, or deep-dish-crust pizzas.

Brought a pizza back to SoCal for the wife. The best pizza I've ever tasted. My biggest complaint is they don't do mail order. Their thin and crispy is so good all my friends want to eat a pizza that cannot be found around here!

I've been to all 3 palerrmos locations and have been going for years now. This also goes back 2 generations. Anyways they have the best thin crust pizza around and its because of the sauce. I think the owners ar all family ut the best one is just east of pulaski on 69th street I believe.
