Passed by Augy's Pizza in Boca Raton the other day, and stopped in with my son to have a pie.  As you might be aware from my previous post about Augy's in Boca Raton, they are known for their thin Sicilian. Augy's recently went through a change of ownership, but I have heard rummblings that the old owner is still there making pizza.  Although the pie looks the same, there was something different about the sauce.  It was a bit spicier then usual.  Wonder if they changed the recipe recently.  If they did, they should not fix something that isn't broken.  Maybe it was just a bad mix that day. The crust was perfect, crispy and tasty, and the cheese tastes like some of the f

My actual first stop when I landed in Long Island was at Umberto's of New Hyde Park.  When I lived in Long Island, this used to be my favorite place.  Their Sicilian is certainly one of my favorite slices of pizza.   This is the true original Umberto's pizza, and not the phony Umberto's of Long Island one located in Deerfield Beach. I ordered 2 Sicilian slices and one regular.  The Sicilian was just as I remembered it.  Crispy on the outside, airy in the middle and one of the best sauces I have tasted on

After finding out from Gary at the last minute that I was alone for lunch yesterday, I got in my car and headed over to Big City Pizza in Boca Raton, off Yamato Road.  We will get to the actual review of the pizza later on but for now, I want to focus on the 2 excellent features Big City Pizza has going for itself.  It is hard to say anything bad about a place that has these positive things.

1. They actually

Let me start by saying one of my favorite pizza places back home was Umberto's Pizza of New Hyde Park.  They had several location and I used to frequent the one in Huntington on Jericho Turnpike, the one where they owners son Guy used to work.  The Sicilian was PHENOMENAL and was always consistent!  When I moved to Florida I used to crave this pizza and the second I would land out in Long Island I would go and grab a slice there.  The bottom of the crust was crispy, the sauce tasted amazing and the cheese, oh that cheese was delicious.  The owner of Umberto's had brothers who seem not to talk to each other and some came down to Florida and opened up Umberto's

Gary and I went to Sal's Pizza today wanting to try the Sicilian Pizza together.  Figuring the pie would take a while to make we got a sub to hold us over.  So our order was precisely this....Meatball Hero and a Sicilian pie.  We were in total shock when we finished and the waiter said "do you want anything on your pizza, or just cheese (another complaint to address again later).  We asked why he is asking since we ordered it about 20 minutes prior.  He said well he is getting it done now, as in 20 minutes after we ordered it, which would then take another 20 minutes to get it done.  Sal's you have managed to disappoint me like the rest of them, but no matter how terrible the other places pizza is, at least it is something I get to eat.  You should add the new AIR PIZZA onto your menu a
