Verdict

Sauce:  Even consistency, the tomato paired well with the NY State of Mind.

Menu

Cheese: Light on the cheese, but it tasted great. 

Crust: Chewy, excellent crust.  A little burnt on one side, but the bottom of the entire pizza had a thick cooked layer of crust – that stood out to me.

Toppings: Toppings were tasty, but a little on the light side.  High quality ingredients.

 

Final thoughts: 

I wish I had more time to try to Sicilian, but it was a great attempt.  The New York State of Mind if their most popular pizza on the menu, and it did NOT disappoint.
