Solid review for this solid Italian restaurant. I will preface saying I only ordered delivery from here, but I will be a frequent customer (I love Grubhub so much).
The delivery came lightning fast. Faster than any of the other Italian places I usually order from and the prices were good. I ordered penne a la vodka (not great, but not bad at all) and some pepperoni garlic knots (those were amazing and you got a huge portion of 6 for only $2). The delivery guy was nice and apologetic that I had to come downstairs (he couldn't find a place to park on my block – not surprising) and the order was hot and ready and exactly the way I wanted. The bread they served on the side was hot and soft – you could tell it was freshly baked that day and delicious. I will definitely be back to try out the rest of their menu because the service, price, and quality were just right.
This is some of the best pizza I have ever had and I had it after 40 minutes with some mild reheating. The sauce is very flavorful and the basil and mozzarella are as fresh as they come. The crust was perfectly crisp. The texture of the sauce is light but the crushed tomatoes roll easily down the tongue. After growing up in NY I have had a lot of pizza and this ranks amongst the best I have tried. I recommend this as much as you can recommend anything to anyone. 6 stars if it was possible. And from my what my father told me the staff was amazing and helpful.
I would have to agree with my cousin Michelle on this place. It is pretty darn good. I find myself craving their cheese slice quite regularly at $2 each, which is good to my pocketbook but not my a$$. I love the tang that their sauce has mixed with just the right amount of cheese. They also have Sicilian pies and "Grandma" pies. Both are square slice pies, and one is thick and one is thin. I am still trying to understand which one is which.
The pasta dishes are also delicious and enough to feed two people for dinner with a side of their yummy garlic rolls (6 for $1.25). The pastas come in a foil bowl, so when you peel the lid off savory gobs of mozzarella cheese are exposed for the taking. Their calzone is nothing to laugh at for only $4, this mighty roll is filled with the freshest ricotta and mozzarella with just the right amount of oven char on the bottom. The only thing that bothers me is that they charge $.75 for a side of red sauce, which would normally come with a calzone for free. But, I guess they make up for it with low priced rolls.
From my understanding, they specialize in chicken here. There are chicken pies, chicken rolls, and chicken bites. I will let you know when I try it. You will see me checking in here regularly. All major cards accepted.
Sicily's is the quintessential "pizza party" pie.
Certainly among the nicer local business staff I've encountered in the city. Let's just say there's no Manhattan I-hate-my-job attitude. This is a respectable neighborhood joint and I hope it will be around for many years to come.
It's also delightfully located on a quiet and calm street. It reminds me of a small town.
Their lunch special, at $4.95, is unbelievably cheap. I got penne ala vodka. What's even more surprising is that the guy steered me toward the lunch special instead of to more expensive regular dishes. That's unheard-of among the money-grubbing and unethical local restaurants I've encountered around the city (from Morningside Heights to here in Bushwick).
The dish was also very good, not too much tomato, not too much cream. It was reasonably large and even came with a breadstick. They must not make much money per dish on the lunch special, but they know people will come back regularly and will buy other entrees, appetizers, drinks, and slices. That is how you run an ethical business that provides value to patrons and pays the employees.
My only disappointment was that they would charge $2.50 extra for broccoli. So it's a straightforward lunch special, no frills.
This is more of a delicacy than any of the trendy hipster joints displacing businesses around here — because it's genuine.
Please give them your business and make this community stronger.
Stopped in here today to try them since they're very close by my temporary abode in Wykoff Heights.
I will give it a just barely *ok* rating.
Pizza was edible, but nothing particularly special.
Garlic rolls were dry, and more like garlicy breakfast rolls than the normal oily garlicy goodness that is the pizza place garlic roll…
Service is quick & friendly.
Price is right, one slice, 6x garlic rolls and a soda – $4.50.
