"The incredibly delicious squares of pizza."

Meaghan Agnew

"Decisions are easy: You're getting two slices of Sicilian deliciousness."

Carey Jones

"These slices are smothered in blood-red sauce, with a crust that threatens to spill over the pan’s edges, with cheese that actually does. But Umberto's crust is fluffy, like an airier focaccia—not heavy in the slightest. It's moistened further by a fresh, herb-laden sauce. The cheese bubbles and browns, charred on the edges, melty and crispy all at once."

Scott Kearnan

"If you want the best Sicilian pizza in town, know there's a reason why locals consider Galleria a work of delicious art."

Richard Chudy

"It’s masterfully done, with a stunning combination of light dough similar to a focaccia, a tart red sauce and browned, bubbling cheese. The char rests only on the cheese, and it’s probably the pizza’s greatest feature; the sharpness of the cheese balances the bright sauce, making it the pie ever-so-crackly and unlike any other."

"The arancini is also a must. The softball-sized balls of rice and cheese are stuffed a mix of meat and peas. One arancini will fill you up at lunch."

"The pizza is light, with a crispy crist. Just like mama used to make."

"The cheese actually overflows from the pans when the pizzas are taken out of the oven. You will definitely get a slice where the cheese is still hot and oozing down the side of the crust. The cheese also gets those nice burnt bubbles on it – not too dark, though. The crust is a bit lighter than your usual Sicilian slice and isn’t as thick. Honestly, we forget what the sauce was like because the cheese is so overwhelming."
