    Stopped in for lunch today and had their $8.99 pizza lunch special. It's good for one 12" pizza with 1 topping or a lunch spaghetti. I went with a cheese pizza with extra cheese and two garlic knots with cheese dipping sauce. In no time my food was out and piping hot. The garlic knots are always a given to be super delicious and did not disappoint once again. The cheese pizza was a lot larger than I expected and was very flavorful and cheesy. The place was not very busy but I did come in right at opening. The interior is small and cozy and the comfort food they serve is always delicious. If you haven't tried them yet come over to North Salem and give them a try. They have great salads as well.

    This is an outstanding local pizza restaurant. The pizza has amazing flavor starting with exceptional dough and sauce. The wait staff does an excellent attentive job and the ambiance is small Italian eatery. Easily top 5 pizzas I have ever had and that says a lot about!!

    The best Knots I've ever had. Perfection!!!

    On Friday I happened to be driving through rural Indiana on the economic blackout day with a HANGRY, weepy 8 year old and nothing but Casey's gas stations and Dollar Generals to be found. No big corporations for us that day! We soldiered on. We got to the teeny town of North Salem and ended up finding a beautiful oasis. Perillo's Pizzaria. Like a mirage out of the soybean fields (if the mirage looked like a tiny, possibly abandoned building). I made by son try the door to be sure it was open. Inside, the place was adorable, a historic building with a previous life as the town doctor's office. Ambiance was great and the Pizza looked amazing but we got the garlic knots and dessert. The limoncello cake was fabulous! But the garlic knots - OH MY GOD THE KNOTS. Best I've ever eaten. Hands down. Ooey gooey, chewy heaven. Do not miss this gem of a place. Seriously! Go out of your way for this.

    2 years later and this place still holds up as one of my favorite pizzerias! Crispy, crunch crust and delicious toppings for the New York Style. Service is always great. The inside seating area is limited, but carry out and patio dining are always a good option!

    Pizza by the slice, sausage and pepperoni

    WOW! This place was AMAZING!! What an unexpected surprise when we stumbled in for lunch while passing through the small town of North Salem, located just a short 40 minute drive north west of Indianapolis. The building is small but very cozy and welcoming. The food is absolutely fresh and made to order so you may have to wait 20-30 minutes but it's well worth it! Perillo's makes all their sauces in house and you can definitely taste the difference. They sell pizza by the slice or a whole pie. The pasta can be ordered as a 1/2 portion which is what we opted for, and still took leftovers home!! We will be making Perillo's a regular stop on our walk rotation!! CASH ONLY!!!

    Cheese pull is what it is all about with these pies. This thing was HOT and it stayed hot, just like it should have.

    Go out some spring or fall evening and enjoy the countryside on the way to North Salem. They have outdoor dining and about 6 - 8 tables inside. Your food is made to order, so don't expect it to be fast. We ordered the garlic rolls which were quite good, but plan on getting in an extra mile for your workout because these things are carb loading monsters. It doesn't stop with the cheese sauce. They have a comprehensive Italian menu, but the pizza was really pretty good. We ordered the meat pie with a pizza crust on the top and bottom. It was kinda like a HUGE calzone. It was very good and the crust was thin and crisp. One slice will get your belly full, so be prepared to take a bunch home or bring a large group and share. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a pretty decent experience. We will be back.

    This is the best Italian food in the Midwest. I said it. They have the best pasta and pizza. And their salads are my favorite but we come for the pizza. They also grow a lot of their veggies in their garden out back or at the owner's garden. Every time I'm there I meet someone who is also there to eat but they've crated this atmosphere of community and it's the best!

    I have been wanting to go for years and just find reasons not to go that far west (only about 20 min)...this will likely become a place we go often. We both got a slice of pizza & a garlic rolls (with cheese and marinara - loved both). Holy cow, both were delicious and filling - $13 bucks for all that?! It's quaint and small but it packs flavor. Their outdoor area is very cute as well. Service was great and attentive. Love you can hear the work being done in the kitchen as well - it is a gem just like Yelp said!

    New York style pizza
    Sue B.

    First time we have visited in a long time. The pizza is very good as are the garlic knots. It is a very small place with about four indoor tables. There is outdoor seating but the disadvantage is the they're only functional seasonally. The small size of the restaurant leads to some longer waits. The staff is friendly and service is good. Be prepared for crowds because it is well known that the food is good. The do not take credit cards but do take cash or check. We had the New York style pizza. Very good with fresh ingredients and lots of cheese!

    NY style with sausage, pepperoni, onions, & banana pepers
    Tony A.

    This is a small little joint with big personality! Just off the main strip (I believe) in North Salem,IN. The people were all very friendly. This is a small establishment with seating inside for about 15-20 people. You can pretty much see right back into the kitchen which is fun in of it self. They have 2 outside seating areas, o e o. Each side of the building. The o e to the left of the building is a typical outside seating area with metal chairs and tables with um b rellas bit has an Italian vibe going on with some old school music playing(Sinatra, The Rat Pack, Dean Martin, ect.) On the right side of the building ther are a bunch of picnic tables and a freestanding fireplace which definitely looked to be the reminisce of an old house. The pizza was very good and just how I likes it, thin and crsipy. They had a pretty wide array of Italian dishes and pizza pies. I got one slice of NY Sgle and added some topping. It came out hot and delicious! The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because they only take cash or check. I had to walk around the corner to the bank to get some cash.. so make sure to bring cash.

Today, I spent some time clearing out my father's home and helping my nephew, who'd been staying with him prior to his death, settled in a new residential situation. As I was driving through Danville on the way home, I stopped at the town square and decided to have a late lunch in the area. To be honest, I headed first to Square Burger. However, as a wheelchair user I was dismayed to see a step into their establishment. No go. I wasn't in the mood for Mayberry Cafe despite my love for the place. I looked over and realized this was a great chance to check out The Beehive. The Beehive is just off the square and shares a building with Two Guys Pies. The US 36 entrance is not wheelchair friendly, however, the back entrance has a nice concrete ramp (I did find the sidewalk a bit narrow - I noticed as I entered here that had I desired to visit Two Guys Pies there was a bicycle on the sidewalk that would have easily blocked my access). This is an attractive building. The Beehive has been here a little over 10 years. I'm not sure I'll describe The Beehive accurately - it's sort of a coffeehouse meets breakfast/lunch joint where you can also get fresh, local honey and other frozen goods to take out. They do catering and offer deli sandwiches, beer/wine carryout, a build your own salad menu, local meat and produce, and the aforementioned frozen goods. They also have a small retail area where you can buy honey, t-shirts, and other items. A good amount of their sweets utilize honey instead of sugar. I parked on the square in one of their accessible spots (parking is free, up to 5 hours for accessible parking but only two hours for others). I wheeled around the building - someone was planting plants/flowers and was super friendly and stopped his work to make sure I could get through). They close at 4pm on Saturdays - I arrived about 3ish. I ordered one of their combos that included a 1/2 sandwich, chips, and a drink. They do have unsweetened iced tea, fountain drinks, and a variety of canned/bottled drinks (including Choc-ola!). They also have a ton of coffee/latte type options. I found the prices to be reasonable. This is especially true given these are healthier options (though certainly not everything here qualifies as "healthy."). The employees were friendly. They were quiet, however, service was quite good. I loved the atmosphere. I had zero issues finding a wheelchair friendly table. I could independently reach everything I needed, though I'm sure they'd have assisted if needed. This wasn't a mind-blowing experience. It was simply a really good lunch in a pleasing atmosphere at a fair price. After an emotional experience like clearing out my family home (which isn't yet done), this was a great way to relax and calm the emotions. I enjoyed the sandwich, which is toasted, and they had Miss Vickie's potato chips. I'm not sure why it took me so long to stop here, however, I'd easily return for the simple yet wonderful menu, great drinks, warm atmosphere, and friendly employees.

It's very cool on the inside with vintage and Indiana-themed decor, tin ceilings, and, of course, a potbelly stove. The staff were friendly. But brother and I were very confused about the ordering process. There wasn't a lot of directional signage showing where to start and each step of the process. I watched a few other customers go through and they didn't seem like they had a problem so maybe it was just us. Next time I would probably just order online and pick it up so I could avoid the in-person ordering process altogether. I had the turkey sandwich and it was pretty good. I would say definitely a step up from your typical sub sandwich chain in terms of flavor and toppings options. I tried the chili mac as well. The chili is definitely à la Wendy's but I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good as well. I'd probably get either on its own but not together again. I also tried the Potbelly/Zapp's collab chips, the Hot Pepper flavor. They were good but are definitely not for everyone. When I visited, most of their fountain soda options were out of order so I settled on a no sugar added Pineapple Passionfruit juice/soda which was actually pretty good. We'll definitely be back - especially to try out their milkshakes!
