Kevin Lee: Great for a plain slice, garlic knots, soups, meatball sandwich, pasta, etc!!!
Chantele Bond: This is the best pizza, hands down, in the city. If you love a crisp thin crust, real cheese and a great sauce, you hit the jackpot here. Although it's usually busy, I am always treated great.
Serious Eats: While the round New York–style pizza at Tony's on Graham Avenue is very good, the Sicilian is even better.
Amy Surgan: Wonderful! No need for the toppings with sausage that good! Beer sausage was mouthwatering with just spicy mustard!
Time Out New York: At the SF chainlet's Williamsburg branch, pair 20 types of bangers (including bratwurst, andouille & wild boar) w/ 1 of the 24 beers on tap, like Green Flash Double Stout & Great Divide's Imperial IPA Read more.
