"The crust is like no other. The bottom is plenty crisp, but the interior is tender and soft—it's airy, even though it has a tight-to-medium crumb. Where the cheese and crust meet, the two become one. The L&B Sicilian slice really is its own thing."
"Emphasis on the rich, tangy, slightly sweet sauce which is among the best sauces I've tasted. But the kicker is the crust: crispy bottom, not too thick but great focaccia-like texture. Light yet substantial."

"The Sicilian is amazing (they call it simply a “Square"). Silky mozzarella melts between the dough and sauce—allowing the crust to be light, but crispy on the bottom. Perfection."
"This is the square that inspired a generation of upside-down Sicilian pizzas, in which the sauce is served on top of the cheese. Dough is pushed into the pan and topped with squares of low-moisture mozzarella and rich crushed tomato, then finished with a generous dusting of pecorino. Placing the cheese on the dough before the sauce benefits the pie by acting as a barrier against unwanted moisture infiltration."
"L&B is an overlooked neighbourhood gem that makes the best Sicilian pizzas in the world. The tomato sauce is simply delicious and could easily be consumed as a soup. Finally, the super charred crust is thinner than the pie itself, which is another rare feature and, thus, the burnt corner pieces are to be fought over."
"This pizza is different as the order in which its garnished is mozzarella and then the sauce rather sauce and then mozzarella. This makes it moreish as the cheese melts into the dough and creates a gooey texture - perfect if you are a cheesy pizza fan!"
"Their square slice features the sauce on top of the cheese, resulting in a pie that tastes delicate, fresh, and deeply savory."
"Here, each element of the slice is surprisingly bold. The cheese, the sauce, even the crust, each has a singular expressiveness, framing the slice as an interesting chain reaction of declining sharpness."
"The sauce is so tasty, slightly sweet, well seasoned, and I loved how prominent it is on these slices. The bread and the cheese both work together to cut the acidity of the sauce on top and deliver a fully realized ultimate slice. L&B’s pizza is simply put one of the best slices you’ll ever have."
"It seemed like my life was missing something until I tried this pizza. It was so good it is hard to even describe it properly. The sauce - perfect and sweet. The Cheese - extraordinary. The crust - beyond belief. Just go try it for yourself to see how incredible this pizza tastes."

"Easily the best Sicilian on the east coast, if not all of America. It takes more than an hour to drive there from my home but I gladly make the trek, and typically buy three pies— one to eat there, and two to bring home for leftovers."
