There were five in our party, four of us had the pizza which is always delicious, oh that sweet sauce! One of us had the sautéed chicken , it was tender and flavorful, it could have fed three people. We also had the fried zucchini with ranch dressing, very yummy and crunchy , there was plenty for all five of us. Our server was excellent, we waited for nothing even though it was a busy night. Palermo’s is the gem of the southside!

It has been years since we have been back to Fox’s in Oak Lawn. The service, food and ambiance was all top notch. I would recommend this place to anyone. Cobb salad and vege pizza was amazing! Great waitress and speedy service.
