Sicilia Italian Pizzeria

Meatballs were excellent and the pizza was delicious. The service is very good and the vibe is “Italian”. The music is set to radio Italia and it’s safe to assume there’s no place like this anywhere else in Venice!

Monday, December 30, 2024 - Take out for 3. "This is the best plain slice we have gotten since coming to Florida in 2021" my daughter (3.5 years of looking) We got a 16" plain and a 16" Supreme (olives, peppers, sausage) , right out of the oven, but into two boxes steaming away.... I feared would not be the best example of their food....... As I drove home I thought of how great it would be to have a decent pizza place near the house we just bought?? We lived in New York/Long Island for 16 years until 2021 and I worked in NYC/Manhattan and been to Little Italy/lower Manhattan many times. Previous to that lived in Philly for 45 year and had pizza and genuine Italian food in around the 9th and Catherine Italian Market with places like Sarcones and Tony Luc. etc etc. I have had many fantastic pizza and my daughter and wife know what they like. We just have not found "the slice"! .......................... well I got home and got the boxes open, torqued the oven up for warming just in case.....already had the table set....... and we dug in!!! "THE SLICE" !!!!! I met some guy who went to grade school in Venice, lived here his whole life, played football at Venice High in the 1970s...........he swears THIS is the pizza place he finally found and has been coming to for years - THE ONLY ONE. I have to agree. We ARE going there to have a 'fresh' pie served tableside wiht out steaming boxes and getting cold etc etc. I see this place and Big Mike's battling it out for 1st and 2nd, but based on my last visit to Big Mike and all their marketing spam and coupons I can never seem to use and all that shenanigans..... and the pie was NOT that good or inconsistent with the one we had weeks ago...... Sicilia Italian seems to have a simple and no frills way have having you back without gimmicks, or text message of online coupons and games........ MAKE GREAT ITALIAN FOOD AND KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!!!!!

GO HERE! You could drive by this plaza over and over again and miss this hidden gem. Don't miss an opportunity to have a tremendous pizza that tastes straight out of some of the best places I've ever been too. Me and a buddy looked it up and read the reviews and said let's give it a try. It's humble and small place with maybe 20 seats. Decorated with a Sicilian theme. But this is like being in an Italian family kitchen, your right where they make everything and it's cozy for sure. We are sooo glad we went. Knowing we wanted pizza, we ordered a large sausage with olives. We also wanted to try something else, but nothing too much to nibble on while we waited for that pizza, so we asked for a side of meatballs. The meatballs came out quicklyand we dug right in. Boom, These were amazing homemade meatballs in a savory sauce Gravy for my buddy who refuses to say sauce) (that we found out is literally made on site). So rich and full of flavor, the only thing missing would be a bit of bread with to sop up that amazing gravy, we didn't want to waste that sauce on the plate after we devoured the meatballs. so good. When the pizza was ready, we were thrilled, if it was half as good as the appetizer we would be sure we hit gold. AND The pizza didn't disappoint! What a winner. Now I understand that pizza is subjective, so if you like a thin crust with a delicious sauce, homemade sausage (they told us they make it themselves on site) and a perfect amount of mozzarella then dusted with Romano cheese when it comes out of the oven, well your gonna love this pie. No joke one of the best pies in a long time, and btw the olive oil and savory brushed crust was so crispy and delicious, blew us away. I wanted to try the grandma pie, but it will have to wait till next time. But there's no doubt that's gonna happen soon. I don't have a bad thing to say about this very humble little place, try it and expect great things!

I've had alot of pizza in my life. This is hands down the best ive ever had. EVER. The family who runs this place are incredibly friendly down to earth. I live in Missouri and I come here every year when in town. There is nothing like it. Pizza is just incredible there is no words to properly describe how good this stuff is. Highly recommend. Will continue to give them business. Love this family.

Cute little place. Not a lot of table seating but the whole time we were there, enjoying our tasty Caesar salad and hot and amazing mushroom pizza, To Go orders were flying out the door. The crust! The sauce! The cheese! Perfectly balanced and mouth watering. Fabio took good care of us, keeping the beer and wine flowing. Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Can’t wait to bring others to enjoy!

If you are a pizza connoisseur this is your place! We have tried every place in Venice and Englewood. Nothing compares to Sicilia. If you like thin crust, order the Grandma Square. If you like more of a deep dish style ask for the Sicilian. The tomato garlic sauce is amazing! Fabio and his family make it all from scratch and you taste it in every bite. The service is outstanding. The seating area is small so if you have a big group, order takeout. We can’t wait to go back and try a pasta dish. Enjoy!

Unassuming place with pretty decent pizza! We ordered the 5 cheese pizza and a pizza with half cheese and half pepperonigreen peppers and both were tasty. Very generous with the toppings. We did carry out and it definitely would have been better to eat it fresh from the oven at the restaurant, but, again, still good pizza!

We've eaten in here but this time we ordered takeout. We had the 16" Sicilian thick and square pizza with sausage and pepperoni. The crust was thick, light, and crispy. The tomato sauce tasted like it was freshly made. We will be repeat customers!
