Sicilian Pizza

What the name means here

Sicilian pizza in a Staten Island shop is not a tour of Palermo. It is the thick, pan-baked square that sits next to the round slice. The photo is a pepperoni Sicilian slice with a browned edge. Pepperoni is a topping. The plain item is named Sicilian.

Bravo lists Sicilian, Marinara Sicilian, and Gluten Free Sicilian Pie. Slices are Sicilian Slice and Marinara Sicilian Slice. There is no gluten-free Sicilian slice on the list. The menu does not describe Marinara Sicilian beyond the name, so this guide does not guess that it is upside-down.

Square, and still not grandma

Grandma is the other square on the menu, and it is a different item. People mix the names up because both are cut in squares. If you want the thick one, order Sicilian. If you want the grandma, order Grandma. The comparison post goes further into dough and sauce. This guide stays with the Bravo names.

A round Regular pie is the other default. A 10-inch bar pie is smaller still. Sicilian is the choice when the square and the thicker bite are the point.
