Excellent place to eat awesome Italian food and all American choices as well! Very quaint...but not cramped in any way! Lots of TVs for Sports fans and other special events. Pleasant, sweet and helpful waitresses as well. They go way out of their way to make changes if need be! Loved dining there!!! Outside picnic area too! Lots of trees for shade!

Since I left my last review, Joey himself promised me a 12" pizza to change my mind about his cuisine. It was fantastic. Very flavorful, and something I would actually recommend to my friends and family. Great service, great company, and great food. Just don't order slices. Only order food they have to make fresh. It will be worthwhile!

Live maybe a minute away. Finally decided to try it. Hubby quite pleased they have Amber Bock on draught - his fave. Wide variety on the menu and they deliver too. Looking good so far. Order 6 piece garlic knots 'to start', then a calzone for me and 10 piece wings for the hubster. Garlic knots took so long, I thought the waitress forget the 'to start' part and they would come out with the rest. Nope! So then I had to ask for marinara to go with the garlic knots. I don't recall ever having to request marinara sauce w/garlic knots or bread. Anywhere. Not 'extra' sauce. NO sauce was served w/the garlic knots Our dinners were not served at the same time. My calzone was not cooked to order and the crust was too hard & too thick. Hubby's wings were just ok. Then we get the bill. CHARGED for the marinara sauce for the garlic knots after we waited for OVER AN HOUR for our meals! Fifty cents, but still. I MAY give it a second try and order something different (there is a good variety offered), but even a second chance would only be out of convenience and I'm not so sure that counts considering how long everything took.

Stopped in with a friend, who was originally from Chicago. We both had the Chicago beef sandwiches and they were delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She stopped by at least 3-4 times to make sure all was well. Joey also stopped by and chatted, which was impressive as they were pretty busy that day. I recommend this place and suggest you give it a try.

I ordered food here for delivery from Los Angeles as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend in Florida! He and his coworkers loved it and even being in a different state the order was perfect. They all raved about the pizza!

My first experience at Joey Palermo's wasn't bad. I met a few friends there for a football game and I have to say that it was a good place to watch a game. I ordered a cheeseburger and it was really good, but the fries were the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the calzone and my friends both ordered sandwiches. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. We recently went back on a Friday night and it was like a completely different place. The bartender was the only server for the restaurant. She only had about 4 tables to deal with but was still overwhelmed and told us so several times. We ordered a basket of fries as a starter and they came out 30 minutes later. The bartender/waitress explained that the cook had to remake them because he "got sidetracked" and burnt the first batch. My cheeseburger was also burnt (ordered medium) by the time it came out, nor did it have the cheese I ordered. I guess even the cook was overwhelmed by the 4 top. Needless to say we were disappointed with the turn Joey Palermo's took in 4 short months. A restaurant requires consistency to survive in this small town. Good Luck, guys, I really do hope you can make some changes and turn it around.

Came to check and see if they truly have CHICAGO pizza and hot dogs. Friendly personal, but 30 minutes ago I ordered the hot dog and pizza. Wanted tge hot dog first, then would tast the pizza. Too long to wait for a hot dog. Now hot dog arrived at the same time as the pizza. Taste test to commence. Hot Dog +: . Correct ingredients, poppy seed bun, Vienna hot dog -: hot dog - cold, bun -cold and not steamed. Pizza: no way a Chicago Pizza. Ingredients loose, not firm. Edge of dough not Chicago.

Still not thrilled in my second trip which is too bad because the pizza is awesome (!!!) but the service... Not so awesome. Long story short, they messed up my take out order and the waitress argued with me about what I ordered. After looking at the receipt, it turns out I was right-surprise, I knew what I ordered- and the cook misread it. NBD except: she argued with me, they didn't comp me the incorrect pizza or a breadsticks or whatever, she actually ASKED me what I wanted them to do about the mistake, and to top it off the owner was RIGHT THERE! Really? Are you sure you are ready for the restaurant business? Because there are 3 things that need seriously need to be corrected if you want to make it: 1) it's ok to make a mistake, just make it right. That sometimes creates better customer loyalty than being right the first time. 2) upsell. Both times I was there I wasn't offered desert, to upgrade a special, or add an appetizer... 3) staff training- introduce the specials, customers should always feel welcome, and turn down the volume when it's not super crowded...

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
