Palermo's 3rd Annual Easter Baskets for the Hungry Drive

2010-04-01T11:47:00.000-07:00

Palermo's Pizza held its 3rd annual Easter Baskets for the Hungry drive on March 31st, 2010. The event was made possible by generous sponsor donations and a partnership with the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee. Over thirty office employees and a handful of volunteers helped distribute non-perishable food items into 1000 bins! Scott Walker even stopped by to lend a hand. Canned vegetables, fruit juice, rice, cereal, potatoes, and jellybeans were just a few of the items inside the bins. Each filled tote will feed one family for an entire week. At the end of the day, Palermo's collected over 22,000 pounds of food for needy families this Easter. Please visit some of the links below to get a firsthand glimpse of what was accomplished.

Bucks Assistant Coach for Player Development Bill Peterson also provided some inspiring words as well. The kids were invited from 2 local groups - Hoops for Kidz and Eastbrook Academy. Parents also tagged along to take pictures of the once in a lifetime experience. To end the session, everyone indulged in delicious Palermo's Pizza, of course! Slices of Rustico cheese, pepperoni, and sausage proved to be a great way for everyone to recharge after an afternoon workout. A very special thank- you to all the Bucks staff, coaches, and players for making this Clinic so special.

Palermo's Pizza Pairs with the 13th Annual Mid Winter Brewfest

2010-02-22T12:35:00.000-08:00

Over 750 people spent Sunday, February 21st at the Milwaukee Ale House for the 13th Annual Mid Winter Brewfest. Over 25 breweries came together to benefit the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer). The tickets were highly sought-after, and sold out weeks ago. Palermo's was lucky enough to serve up our best Primo-Thin varieties for the thirsty and famished alike. Usinger's was also in attendance handing out smoked sausages. The doors opened at 1pm, and an endless sea of beer lovers paraded in; most stopping at our location for a slice. So many arrived, in fact, that we had to make another trip back to our warehouse to get more pizza!

The beer connoisseurs took note of our beer pairing list as well. The Weiss from Milwaukee Brewing Co. complemented the Primo Thin Margherita exceptionally! Other style pairings include India pale ales or Golden ales with the Primo Thin Pepperoni, amber lagers with the hearty Primo Thin Sausage, and easy-drinking German pilsners with the topping-heavy Primo Thin Supreme. Try to match up your favorite Palermo's pizza with a brew next time!

The Mid Winter Brewfest featured two levels of imbibing from local favorites such as Lakefront, Sprecher, and Rock Bottom Breweries. Dogfish Head, Madison's Great Dane Pub & Restaurant, New Holland, and Bells also proved to be very popular. Musical entertainment featured The UW Alumni Band downstairs, and the cover band Copper Box upstairs on the main stage.

Over the four hour span of the event, we breezed through 150 pizzas. You can bet that we'll be back next year. Jim and Jason of Milwaukee Brewing Co. proved to be amazing people to work beside. Thanks to all who came out for a great cause and had a slice of Palermo's in the process.

Cheers!

A Day at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum

2010-02-17T12:14:00.000-08:00

Parents and their children came together on Saturday, February 13th for a pre-Valentine's day celebration at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. The family-friendly ice cream social lasted five hours, and it was a fun day had by all in attendance. An ice cream sundae station, three different levels of kid activities, and an entire room devoted to Palermo's Pizza were just some of the attractions. The young tykes showed impressive levels of patience waiting in line for a fresh slice of our best Rustico pizza. Cheese was the overwhelming favorite to turn any frowns upside down.

After devouring a morsel of Palermo's goodness, many kids headed to the 'dancing' room next door to work off their newfound energy. Some went downstairs to shop at a virtual grocery store, where Palermo's was fully stocked. Overall, we cooked 72 pizzas for the hungry masses. A special thanks to Kelly and her exceptional staff who helped us along the way. Hope you had a great Valentine's Day everyone!

There was a buzz in the air strong enough to cut through the wafting smells of hot fresh pizza in the Palermos Courtside Club grand opening on Halloween night. An Old-World Italian vibe graces the newly renovated hotspot, located just a few steps from the Bradley Centers hardwood court. Sure to be a popular meeting place for premium ticket holders and casual fans alike, the Courtside Club offers a variety of Palermos menu items. You can start off with the creamy Goat Cheese Bella Pane flatbread and devour the Tuscan chicken calzone, savory Italian beef Stromboli or a hot and fresh Primo Thin pizza! Halftime could have been a little disappointing for the fans as the Bucks were down eleven points; but the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked thick crust Rustico Pizza quickly welcomed even the most doubtful fan. Full and happy Bucks fans went on to cheer the team to victory and scare off the visiting Detroit Pistons. Final score: Bucks 96, Pistons 85.

The Last Pizza Mobile Event of 09

2009-10-14T10:12:00.000-07:00

Miles from Home: 330
October 3rd

Well, where has the time gone? It seemed like just yesterday that we embarked on this pizza tour with a custom machine and a dream. Summer has officially come and gone, letting the clouds give way and the cool winds to whisk through our hair. This marks the last trip we make with our pizza mobile. It's winter home - TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN. A fitting final journey for us, as the UW Badgers are set to butt heads with the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Nate, our go-to guy with the Gophers is giving us all the pointers we need to be successful today. When we were here last year, it was in the single digits, and hand warmers were necessary. This time though, it is 50 degrees and rainy. It's not stopping the droves of fans from coming to see us. Our bright graphics act like a beacon under the overcast skies! The rivalry between the two teams for Paul Bunyan's Axe is the oldest in college football history. "Better Dead than Red" and "Worst. State. Ever." are just a few of the printable slogans on t-shirts of the two student bodies. Before the 11:00am game time, we run through 9 cases. A narrow Badgers victory concludes our crazy trip.

It's been an amazing summer filled with fun, work, mystery, and a little danger. We hope you've enjoyed reading about our various travels. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you to all who helped us along the way. We hope to bring you more Palermo's adventures as we schedule them throughout the rest of 2009 and beyond.

Madison, WI - UW v. Michigan State

2009-09-28T12:52:00.000-07:00

Miles from Home: 76

September 26th

Our trip is a short one this weekend. The State Capitol is only 76 miles from home and we make record time. We are welcomed by the friendly sight of people wearing red and white wandering the streets at 6:30am. Sometimes it is hard to understand why students have a hard time going to early morning classes, but when it is a game day those same kids fill the streets before the sun rises.

After a successful security check, the Palermo's Pizza Express is parked and ready to serve 108 pizzas to Bucky and all his fans. (I'm surprised the dogs didn't go nuts for the pizza inside!) Football fans were very excited to hear about free samples before the game. One fan claim's that "Pizza is my favorite breakfast food!" And we all agree with him! People are always so friendly with us. I want to think it's because of our charming personalities, or rugged good looks. But the crew comes to the conclusion that it is the Free Palermo's Pizza that puts them in great moods. Hopefully, by feeding Bucky he will help bring us another victory. GO BIG RED!

Outside Camp Randall we serve up some Primo Thin Pizzas, but as the official pizza of the Badgers, we get to serve our Rustico Pizzas inside the stadium. Bucky fans you can also find Palermo’s finest inside your grocer's freezer.
