As the old adage goes, "you pay for what you get." This is true of Pizza Palermo. The food is reasonably priced and thus tastes reasonable. Don't expect to be blown away...this isn't the best pizza in Pittsburgh (see Aiello's, Mercurio's, or Il Pizaiolo for that), but it still tastes good and is super convenient if you live in Shadyside. I would, however, recommend getting toppings on the pizza. For some reason the plain cheese pizza comes out pretty greasy. The hoagies are also solid. Definitely recommended. As far as pizza goes, you could do A LOT worse in this town.
