There's just something magical about a really great slice of cheese pizza. Honestly, I don't think that I could be friends with someone who doesn't like cheese pizza. Or just cheese, for that matter. I've been so excited to write about Palermo's Pizza & Pasta in Seattle. Opened in 2002, Palermo's has 2 locations, one in Capitol Hill and another in Ballard. The restaurant is small & cozy, you can always get a table, and the service is excellent. Even better, they have great hours, excellent happy hour specials and the prices are great! This is my GO-TO pizza place, and I eat here at least weekly. Being walking distance from my apartment, it is also one of those Italian joints that you try something different each time you go. Last Monday, being on the less hungry side of the fence, but excited about the possibility of leftovers, I ordered a medium cheese pizza and the Italian salad. This pizza was a perfect 10. Crispy and buttery crust (they make their dough from scratch, daily), but soft and cheesey center. Not overly done, just a good solid cheese pizza.

Another pizza that I have often ordered at Palermo's is the Red Goat (red peppers, goat cheese, and more cheese). Although delish, not so great the next day.
On another occasion, I have ordered the Palermo Calzone (it's like a pizza pastry!)
I love calzones, but eat them infrequently. The calzone at Palermo's was one of the best that I've had. It included pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms and black olives. Visit Palermo's and no matter what you're in the mood for, you're not going to be disappointed. Buon appetito!
