  Horrible service!!. The food is great but the service for sit down meals has drastically deteriorated. I’ve been eating here for almost a decade and the last few visits have been horrible possibly because we got the same server – she took a long time to take the order (despite the fact that its not busy), barely stuck around to make sure we had what we needed, and gave us the check even though we were in the middle of our meal. I think at one point, I was trying to get her attention for water and she asked me what I needed from across the dining room. Not a place that will have my business anymore.

  I heard it is under new ownership. Food was great. Sometimes long waits and it can get crowded. I like the setup, but some people are taken aback. You may have to share tables. Great seafood salad.

  Good Crust, PERFECT Sauce. La Sicilia is a narrow and deep restaurant on Washington Avenue. I had called ahead for my Palermo pie as a takeout order. It was ready on my arrival and the counter man was pleasant. I was facing a two hour drive home with this pie, and I placed it in the trunk. Even from that remote location, the glorious aroma of the tomato sauce filled the cabin, tormenting me for my drive home.Later that evening, when it was time to re-heat the pie, I took it from the box and discovered that it is NOT pizza, but tomato pie. Not Trenton-style pizza for which tomato pie is just another name, but Conshohocken-style tomato pie, which is crust and sauce with, at most, a sprinkling of aged cheese. Examples include Conshy Bakery and Tony Ronis in the Philly area, and L&B in Brooklyn.I left some slices unadulterated. On others, I added some diced soppressata. On others, I added sharp provolone and some Romano Locatelli cheese.I found that the crust is very good, but not great. It had a very satisfying crispness to it, but it was not magical like a good Trenton style pie, a classic Neapolitan, or even a L&B tomato pie.The tomato sauce, which is mostly chunks, was as delicious as any I can remember. Such balance, such vibrant flavors. This is not a pizza or a granma pie; it is a tomato pie and a wonderful one. The crust was simply a palette, and a crisply durable one, to convey this awesome red tomato topping. I sat in a lot of crappy traffic to get this pie and I’m VERY glad I did. Usually, tomato pie is improved by the addition of some cheese, but this time I preferred the slices that had none.We did not finish the pie, and I had three glorious slices a few days later. The crust held up, and returned again to an ideal crisping upon reheating. The Palermo pie costs $16 and is a wonderful bargain. Its hard to imagine a tastier tomato sauce. Lets give the crust a 7 and the sauce a perfect 10. Overall, this pie comes in at 8.75. Loved it a lot.Read all my pizza reviews at Pizza Quixote. mainlinepizzaquest.blogspot.com

  Palermo Pie is to die for!. This is the best pizza around – so flavorful and crunchy, not greasy like some spots. This is my new favorite pizza spot!

  One of the best. Little local places you’ll ever eat at! Trust me.
