(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) – Something extraordinary has been happening at Palermo Pizzeria in Simi Valley. Visitors and locals are abuzz with curiosity about the restaurant’s new ownership, new menu and totally new dining experience.
One of Simi Valley’s oldest and most beloved restaurants has gone back to its roots, with a return to its original sauce and pizza recipes from 1972. These are the recipes handed down by the Cascio family, Palermo’s original owners, who emigrated from Italy and named the restaurant after their hometown of Palermo, Sicily. Rumor has it, they even brought back the original executive chef to oversee and implement the transformation.
Scores of recently posted reviews on Yelp and Google indicate something more than just a few table cloths and menu covers have changed at Palermo. Many of the reviews have noted significant improvements in food flavor, food presentation and the service.
One enthusiastic visitor from Burbank noted, “The food is fantastic. The best pizza and eggplant parmigiana that I’ve had in Simi Valley. I can’t wait to try the other dishes. We’ll be back for sure.”
Another visitor from Ventura said, “I totally recommend Palermo’s since they changed ownership, about 9 months ago. The recipes are delicious and servings are large. The waitress is awesome. This, Palermo’s is once again a great spot for Simi!”
Palermo Pizzeria is a family-owned pizzeria, serving the community for over fifty years. The restaurant was purchased by Linda Carabello in Spring 2023. With this change, the original recipes from 1972 have been brought back to life, offering a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation.
“The emphasis is on authenticity and quality,” Carabello said. The pizzas are crafted using the original recipe from 1972, featuring a perfectly crispy crust and a rich, velvety tomato sauce. A secret ingredient in the crust makes it so flavorful, many customers enjoy eating the crust all by itself.
The atmosphere at Palermo Pizzeria is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for families looking for a fun and enjoyable night out. The restaurant has a charming old-world feel, yet it is bright and cheerful inside. The staff, including the friendly and upbeat Felicia, are dedicated to providing excellent service, ensuring that every visit is memorable.
