WHERE TO EAT The best Sicilian Pizza in the world (according to food experts)

"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."

"The incredibly delicious squares of pizza."

"It’s unusual to see toppings on Sicilian pizza in NYC, but the incredibly popular Spicy Spring (a.k.a., pepperoni square) blows minds with its combination of fresh mozzarella, pepper-infused tomato sauce, and natural-casing pepperoni that cups and chars when baked. More conservative eaters play it safe with a Soho Square, which replaces the spicy sauce with a sweet and robust marinara."

"The crust is crisp, light, and airy, topped with plenty of sauce, a lot of Romano, and one rectangular slice of mozzarella. It’s a unique and delicious slice."

"The squares, meanwhile, merge the Sicilian, Detroit, and Roman pizza al taglio styles in one dark, crunchy whole, fringed with what is known as a “frico crust” — the edges of browned cheese where the dough meets the pan. The pepperoni square in particular is an unstoppable force."

"The crust is fairly spongy like a crisp, airy focaccia. Thanks to the deep, heavy pan in which it is baked, the underside is always on the fine border of crispy brown and burnt black, with just a hint of charred flavor adding complexity to the flavor. Sauce tastes slightly of pork fat and ground bits of pancetta, a blend that contributes to a meaty tomato sauce. Between the cheese and olive oil, this pizza packs just as much flavor as calories. And my, is it worth it."

"My favorite is Scarr's Sicilian slice, the thick crust surprisingly airy, the cheese (a "secret mix" of three types of mozzarella, with a sprinkling of parmesan for bite) charred to a magnificent chewiness, the fresh (not canned) tomato sauce ladled on in just the right measure. Scarr's Sicilian is right up there with best."

"This crust is crunchy on the outside and puffy on the inside. The pizzaiolos combine California tomatoes with sweet onion to match in flavor what the crust delivers in girth. It’s an incredibly satisfying slice that adds to the glorious surprise that is this hidden-in-plain-sight gem right across the street from Penn Station."
