Best Pizza Lighthouse Point Sicilian Oven
May 5th, 2009 - By: Pizza Expert
Got a tip from someone the other day, that someone who used to work at Anthony’s had opened his own place up in Lighthouse Point, named Sicilian Oven. So naturally Mikey and I, made the journey to go and try it. The Sicilian Oven is located on 2486 N Federal Hwy 954.785.4155. When we located the place, I remember it being a DiSalvos or something like that. It was a place we tried many many years ago and didn’t really care for, so when we saw it no longer in business it came as no surprise.
The Sicilian Oven smelled great when we walked in, and we were seated within a view of the ovens that they use. Watching a fully flamed oven is kind of beautiful, especially when they throw some oil in there to heat it up! We ordered a small regular pie to split, and anxiously awaited for the first bite.
When the pizza arrived, it looked fantastic. We both took and slice, and upon biting in, we both looked at each other and gave the eyes of bliss to one another. This pizza was great. The crust was tasty and crisp, the cheese tasted awesome, and the olive oil they used on top of the pie after removing it from the oven, gave this slice such a rich taste. Ideally, I would take some of the chunks out of the sauce guys. The sauce was a little too heavy for my liking, but tasted decent. So it wasn’t nearly enough of a negative to take any points away from the overall experience. This is a place we will definitely try again if we are in the area, and we recommend to anyone who thinks Anthony’s Coal Pizza is good, to try this place before making that statement. The Sicilian Oven is far better then Anthony’s.
The Sicilian Oven gets 7 out of 8 slices.

it's great places like this that will put Mediocre places like Steve's Wood Fire out of business, the rip off place it is (in my opinion).
Ive been to the sicilian oven several times. Its very good pizza and they have alot more on the menu than anthonys. Check out there website its pretty cool.
The pizza at this place is pretty lousy – always overcooked and has a plastic sort of texture. It's hard to mess up a pizza like these folks do.
This must be the owner of a pizza joint in the area. The pizza was voted best pizza and got a 4 star review from Judith Stocks. Nice try
I ate their before, my pizza was great. Very simular to Anthony's. I think Anthony's (in pembroke pines) has a hair up than this place. It had a dash too much olive oil the pizza. One thing I will tell you is the wings aregreat, sprinkled with parmesan cheese! The waitress was awesome, great customer service. We had our waitress who took our orders and brought our food, and then there was a seperate person who would come and give us re-fills when she saw we where almost gone with our drinks. Give this place a try, very good pizza!
Right now my favorite list for coal fired pizza goes like this for the best-
1. Anthony's- Pembroke Pines, FL
2. Kitchenette – Fort Lauderdale, FL
3. Sicilian oven – Lighthouse Point, FL
4. Tucci's – Boca-Raton
I dined here tonight and enjoyed the pizza. I loved the pizza sauce, and wished they used more on the pizza. Also, the pizza could have been a bit more crispy, but overall a well made pie with excellent sauce, mozzarella, and great olive oil taste on the crust. 7/8
