    That Italian G.

    Great Place! Food is good, delivery takes about an hour and at the end of the day I'm happy I have a solid pizzeria near my home.

    a slice of deep dish pizza

    Best pizza in the entire world. Every time I try another place it absolutely disappoints. I'm always annoyed that I just didn't go here. When friends are having a party and they're not having Palermo's I tactfully bring Palermo's along. I think it's 20 years I've been a fan - not even the other two Palermo's are as good as this one. The sauce, cheese, dough - comes together perfectly here. U only ever order stuffed cheese w mushroom. The small lasts me several days.

    Perfect !

    This is probably the best pizza place with thick crust . Very delicious and fluffy !!!! So perfect guys ... delicious sweet sauce and we ordered at 8:30 and it was ready in at 9:00 pm ! Which is nice because they close at 9 .

    Mix plate of Palermo's wings, fries, fried mushrooms

    I was in the south suburbs in Frankfort for a romantic getaway with my better half and we were not leaving our pool suite for one minute, so obviously we needed to order some good delivery. After some wine, cocktails, swimming and unmentionable activities - we were craving some food to really hit the spot. We called and made an order for one sinfully fat-ass meal! We ordered a small half sausage and half pepperoni deep-dish pizza, an order of fried mushrooms, 1/2 slab of ribs (came w/fries, slaw & garlic cheese bread), and a dozen hot wings with hot sauce and bleu cheese. The phone call order process and credit card payment via phone was seamless - the lady that took our order was very friendly and patient to our detailed order. She even threw in most of the extra sauces we wanted for free, voiding the annoying 50 cent charges. The food arrived promptly in about 45 minutes. The deep dish pizza was decent - the cheese, toppings, and sauce weren't layered in that classic Chicago-style manner. I felt that the "deep-dish" aspect of it was just the thicker crust and bread which was quite unpleasantly hard (that's not "what she said") from being baked in a bigger pan. Either way, it had filling slices, with a moderate amount of gooey cheese, a moderately low amount of pizza sauce, and supple amount of meat. The presentation of the pizza was top notch - it looked very appealing before we took it apart to devour! You can see it in the photos section of this listing. Sadly the presentation ousted its actual quality and taste by a bit. Still, it was definitely 'good enough' as food was the not the focal point of my evening (for once). The fried mushrooms were as good as they get - hot, wet steaming mushroom on the inside - Italian herbed breaded crust on the outside. Yum! We dipped these in hot sauce, ranch, and even a special garlic mayo they included! The wings were seasoned breaded and fried, and though they weren't sauced per se, we were able to toss them in the included hot sauce and when dipped in the bleu cheese, they were yummy in the tummy - I had like 8 of em'! The 1/2 slab of ribs had a moderate amount of meat on them, I've had meatier ribs. They were not too dry but the meat was not exactly falling off the bones either. They put such a supple amount of BBQ sauce over them that we were able to toss half our chicken wings in the sauce to make BBQ chicken wings. The ribs came with some good fries that had gotten a tad soft (understandable with delivery) and some good garlic bread that we added cheese to for 50 cents. The small side of cole slaw included helped have something fresh to bite into in all that greasy yummy mess. Overall the deep-dish was good enough to eat and enjoy, but nothing to brag about. It was nowhere near the best in Chicagoland, and don't even think of comparing it to Gino's, Giordano's or Lou Malnati's! The fried mushrooms were yummy as they usually are, the chicken wings were very good (especially when complemented with hot sauce, BBQ sauce, bleu cheese, etc.), and the ribs were above average. When staying in for the night and craving some nice greasy, indulgent food - this place really can hit the spot. I highly encourage any couples staying at nearby Sybaris or are in the area and want some affordable delivery to check this place out. We ordered a ton of food (it ate like 2 separate dinners for me and my GF, and still we had 1/2 the pizza leftover) and it came out to about a $40 bill + tip, but when you take into account that we ate 2 meals out of it and still had 4 slices of pizza to take home for leftovers - it was a pretty solid value! So really we ordered enough for 3-4 people to eat big dinners with. I would order here again!

    Tastey cheese and sauseege.

    This pizza was delicious, that sweet sauce, perfect amount of meat to cheese ratio, and perfectly cooked and lightly brown cheese.

I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

This time I had the gnocchi, which had a thick parmesan cream and prosciutto on top. With the peas it created a sweet and bit salty combo that was very rich in flavor. I ended up asking for some bread and finished off the cream with it. For the fried calamari and asparagus salad, the lemon and honey vinaigrette dressing on the salad were great. The breading on the calamari melted in my mouth, but was somehow crunchy (the menu says crispy). For the eggplant parmigiana and linguine frutti, the eggplant was layered between a great tasting mozzarella cheese, garlic and tomato sauce. The blended mix worked well to produce a flavorful dish. For the linguine frutti, the homemade pasta was cooked to just the right amount, for a great tasting pasta. The seafood and sauce also tasted very good. Service is top notch and always very friendly. They are quick to respond and fill cups. Noise level is typically medium.

From the beginning, working with Alyssa to plan the menu and room setup was a great experience. She was so patient with me as I changed my mind from the side room to the main room as our numbers grew. Patrick helped on the day of the event, and although there was one small hiccup, he quickly fixed it. As we were setting up in a rush, the wait staff was so helpful and moved whatever we wanted. The food and the service were impeccable. Everyone was commenting on how much food there was and how delicious it all was. The room was beautiful, with natural light from the patio, and our 55 guests had plenty of room to mingle and spread out. Everyone was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the entire afternoon. It made the day so much better that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important milestone. If you are looking for a stress-free and memorable event space, I highly recommend it.
