Palermo's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Hummelstown

Trusted the 4.7 rating from Google reviews and chose this place over others, big mistake. Out of town visiting Hershey and wanted to try a local pizza place. My girlfriend and I tried a few different slices of pizza along with their garlic knots. All of our food was premade & sitting out for what looked like a while, they just heat it up in their oven when you order. Garlic knots were probably a 4/10, not much flavor, super oily, and were a bit dry. Their sauce they bring with it is what could potentially bump this to a 5/10 appetizer. I tried the “Steak, Pepperoni, and Bacon” and their “Meatlovers” pizza, which both were pretty average and nothing special. My girlfriend got a slice of their “Baked Ziti” pizza and their what appeared to be a “Margarita” pizza, but the person working the counter seemed to barely speak English, so we just rolled with it at that point and gave it a shot. Whatever that margarita pizza slice was, my girlfriend said she wanted to eat that slice first to “get it over with”. And the baked ziti pizza while intriguing was average at best (5.5/10).

Long story short, the customer service was not there, the atmosphere felt like a dining hall at a senior home, and the food was extremely mediocre from what we had. Maybe we are spoiled from our local options in Maryland, but y’all who made this place into a misleading 4.7 stars...

A slice of home, what an amazing family owned and operated Sicilian Pizzeria!!! We came to town to visit Heresy Chocolate Factory, after a few hours we decided to get lunch. Found them on google looked at the reviews and had to give them a try. There’s nothing fancy about this place but the service was better than 5 stars. We placed our order at the counter, they brought us plates, utensils, and a tray to hold out pizza. The fried zucchini with the dipping sauce was delicious. The Veggie Pizza was loaded with toppings. You can taste the freshness in the dough!!! Soon as I have a chance to visit again, I will be stopping back in!!! Thank you Sal...

I'm fearful to express this. I'm very tentative to make this public. Part of me says keep your fingers to yourself, don't text a thing - just move on. But, then it wouldn't be fair. I'd be selfish. So, risking losing the ease of ordering, and dining without large crowds; absolutely amazing, totally home made from scratch, taste of Sicily, like nothing else around. It's a destination place to me! Can't say enough about a single dish. Bread, pizza, eggplant, chicken, homemade pasta; each raved by all dining with me. Family owned and operated. Dad, daughter, aunt. Absolutely amazing. Not your typical pizza...
