“Real Italian food, friendly people and clean and neat place. Plenty of room. service is very excellent. highly recommended place to check out!“

“Some of the best pizza in the bay area. Excellent sauce. The dough, cheese sauce, balance is really good. They also have specials where they introduced different types of pizza that are not common to your typical American consumers. Some of the best pizza I have ever had.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant and would highly recommend it.

🍝First, the food was delicious. I ordered the Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine ($21.95), which was nicely cooked and perfectly al dente. The portion size was generous. The shrimp were slightly overcooked, but overall the dish was still very flavorful and enjoyable. I also tried the Pizza Napolina (small, thin crust) for $21.95, and it was excellent. 🍕The pizza had a beautifully balanced, lightly applied red sauce — which is refreshing because many places tend to overload it. The meat, seasoning, and dough were all high quality, and you can really taste the care that goes into the ingredients.

🍷The restaurant offers a good selection of wine, beer, and soft drinks. The only downside is that they currently don’t serve cocktails, but the beverage options still pair nicely with the food.

🏄‍♂️The service was top-notch. The staff were polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server did a great job describing the dishes and recommending options, which made the experience even better.

💰Finally, the interior design is modern and very appealing. The restaurant has new tables and comfortable chairs, creating a relaxed and stylish atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. They also have a patio, which is a great option if you prefer outdoor seating.

🤩Overall, this is a brilliant restaurant with great food, excellent service, and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend visiting!“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“I had a company retirement party lunch. We shared a margarita pizza and salad for appetizer. The pizza was off the charts delicious. The sauce was amazing. We also shared the octopus. The octopus was the best octopus I have eaten in over 30 years. It was five plus stars!!!! However, my lunch entree of halibut chickpeas & zucchini completely missed the mark. The spices and pepper on the halibut destroyed the beautiful delicate fish. The chickpea zucchini and two other unrecognizable, hard bitter crunchy vegetables tasted awful. I was very disappointed at the $32 entree. The person who chose the hamburger said it was tasty but it was huge enough for two meals. The Panini people were so-so. Finally the pasta people absolutely loved their pasta. After tasting the gnocchi it was exceptional, the marinara sauce was off the charts delicious.“

“Deliciousness for value and warmth for atmosphere. The host is always welcoming and service accommodating. New favorite place for life. 🤓“

“Just had my 3rd dining experience this morning and all 3 breakfast meals have been fantastic! As a person on the carnivore diet, I find it refreshing I can order an all protein meal and be completely satiated without paying an arm and a leg. Eggs were scrambled perfectly and the bacon was delicious. And who could have thought a simple burger patty could taste so good. Must be a magic griddle! Highly recommend! Oh, and service is amazing. My Americano was tasty!“

“Always enjoy Palermos!!! It is one of the very few excellent Italian restaurants in or near Vallejo. Always accommodating to requests. Quiet dining with excellent service. A must go to restaurant.“

Highly recommend.“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“I really like Pancoast. Wife is a newyorker and Pancoast’s pizza style is right up her alley. They have 4 tap beers and they’re some of the best in Norcal - nice to see somebody cares about great beer. I order to go, get a beer at the bar, and take home. They’re seemingly busy all the time so Pancoast has a following.

Parking sucks, they have to share with their neighboring businesses so plan to get a spot on the street.“

“Just visited the location in Vallejo. Our server Dana was super sweet and attentive. We probably spent less than 1h in the restaurant. We were seated right away, food came fast, warm and delicious. All the other employees were also super friendly. It was my husband’s birthday so we got a free dessert to take home. Very affordable and delicious. Will definitely come back“

“Delicious pizza, great salad, and outdoor seating. Our favorite pizza place!“

“Located not far from the Orinda library, easy parking. As you enter, you are greeted by yummy smells that instantly reminds you of pizza and pasta. Friendly greeting. I loved the private booths and the dining area overlooks a trail with a woodsy window views. Lighting is friendly on the eyes. Our server was Sasha, who was friendly, warm, engaging, and competent. We order the soup of the day, a spinach salad to share, a large pizza , and ravioli. The sauces are all made in house. The pizza crust was super tasty with a good crumb and chew . Plenty of leftovers. We ended preventing with the Nutella cheesecake. There were families and locals. Good music. Recommend for a casual evening out or for take out. Got the impression this was family owned and they hire local students, so bring the support!“

“Just tried Tandoori Pizza for the first time and were blown away. The pizza crust is delicious, not too much sauce on the pizzas, and packed full of flavor.

We tried the Tandoori Chicken pizza and the Butter Chicken pizza. They smelled and tasted incredible. My husband said it was genuinely the best pizza he has had in years. So different yet made complete sense. This is our new pizza place now.“

“Decent Buffalo wings. Can order ahead for takeout.“

“Charles was great! We will be back.“

“Always delicious! And they have gluten free pizza for my son.“

“Had a craving for pizza; thought of this place and ordered a small Original through DoorDash. It did not disappoint. Substantial pizza for a “small” and the price. No skimping with the toppings and was exactly as pictured on the website, so no false advertising. Sauce was just right. Enjoyed the classic crust, too, but may try the thin crust text time.“

“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.“
