What we have on tap today is a food court pizza joint located inside the Brass Mill Center, a mall that has, like many others, changed with the times that have not been kind to it. This mall looked much more lifelike 15 years ago when I first moved to Waterbury than it does today. This location alone has had a number of changes in management, and while it has always been a place to get pizza, this is at least the third business that has been at this location since 2009 (it was Sbarro when I first visited this place).
Now that we got the ambiance and history off this place out of the way, let's dive right into Sicilian Delight itself. Today's order was two slices of pizza, one of which was Honey BBQ Chicken and then the other Chicken Bacon Ranch. I am NOT a Plain Jane when it comes to pizza, so keep this in mind. I also grabbed up an order of their Garlic Knots. Of course, they come with Marinara Sauce. It all comes out to around $15, which you can do a lot worse given these times.
The food was okay, and two slices alone will definitely be filling here. But nothing was spectacular. In fact, I barely even touched the Marinara Sauce, especially once I noticed it was pretty watery. So yeah, you can definitely move along without that. What you NEED if you're having pizza here is a drink to go along with it! Otherwise, it will be a dry lunch for you. The Honey BBQ one had a honey mustard on top and didn't taste much like any Honey BBQ I've ever had. But it's still a fine slice if you're willing to look past this. The Chicken Bacon Ranch tasted a lot more like its name was advertised to be. It still doesn't compare to the better pizza places, but it does hold its own. Then the Garlic Knots were okay. Could definitely have used a bit more garlic sauce though.
Service is pretty mid, nothing to really talk about. You just come and go. One thing I did notice is there was a little kid in the back next to the refrigerator, so it makes me wonder if people bring their kids to work with them. It helps them get experience with the real world I suppose, and this is Waterbury, so I'm not going to be as critical about that kind of thing here. Still something to note.
So overall, this is a place you would go if you want to be more frugal and don't mind the dip in quality. It definitely does not compare to better pizza establishments, but for the price you pay it's not bad. read more
