I love going to Sicily Pizza and last night my friends threw me a fun birthday dance party! One of my favorite bands was playing there NUGR We are lucky to have a great server named Paul, who really spoiled us with making sure we had plenty of drinks in the most delicious food recommendations. We need more Paul's! read more

Went to Sicily Coal Fire Pizza with coworkers after drinks to keep the vibes going following a farewell dinner. The service was okay nothing standout, but not bad either. While we were there, the liquor authority/health department came in to do an inspection, which was honestly a little scary at first since we didn't know what was happening. It definitely disrupted the atmosphere for a bit. That said, the pizza itself was good and worth trying. Overall, a decent experience with an unexpected twist. Drinks were my favorite part. We shared a margarita tree. It was delicious and cute. read more

Saturday night was so crowded but they found a table for two. Great service!!! Front of the house was amazing. From the sublime to the ridiculous however: Coal-fired wings were again the best I have ever had and the size of the app was great as were the caramelized onions. The Sicilian Pizza was so overcooked that you couldn't even cut through to get a slice. The sauce was good if scanty and the meatballs were good. Took it home and doctored it up into a 'pizza casserole' and had a decent supper for Sunday. Should have mentioned it at the time but it was so crowded we decided to just leave. read more

The restaurant was very busy during the week of Christmas, but the service was good and the food/drinks were served quickly. I ordered a seasonal Christmas cocktail which was very cute and tasty. I also got the Bianco pizza (without the pistachios) and it was delicious. I have never had hot honey on pizza before, but I loved it. I would definitely go back. read more

Misha treated us like royalty AGAIN in the wine bar. Her attention to the tiniest details is always impressive and appreciated. Asking if we wanted a martini strained or not. Just so detail-focused and even with a 20-person party right next to us, she's upbeat and cheerful. We loved her effort to take care of us on a busy night. The pasta (caccio e pepe) was OMG amazing. The bacon-wrapped shrimp was so memorable. Great night! read more

Mommy and daughter date at the bar! The young ladies tending the bar were very sweet. Espresso Martini's, Coconut Shrimp, and Sicily "Hot" pizza with spinach. A great Saturday afternoon in Middletown with my babygirl! read more

The menu said that they make fresh, hand-made pasta daily. I ordered the Typical Sicilian, which is pasta with eggplant. It was very tasty and the portion size was very generous. When I got my ($5) Sprite, it tasted like seltzer water. When I asked the waiter about it, he just mumbled something. I brought it up again and he told me, "I know, the syrup is downstairs. I'm not dumb." We ordered a Wedge salad to be shared, which was delicious. There were two other people at the table. Person #1 really enjoyed their mushroom ravioli and the cocktail was extremely enjoyed, as well as the gelato for dessert. Person #2 got the BLT Wrap. He said that there wasn't much bacon. He got potato fries with it and they were thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. He requested mayo to go with the fries and was charged $2 extra. We got the Sicily 'Doughnuts' for dessert, which we all liked. read more

Pathetic, and I will not be ordering again. I initially ordered their large apple salad while at the restaurant, and it was amazing. Every time since then, four times in total, I've received worse and worse results. The salad costs $24.00 for a bunch of lettuce, walnuts, cheese, and cranberries. This time, there are no apples included like the original one I had. What a waste of money. Don't get me started about Grubhub's service that delivered my food an hour late for a SALAD! read more

Great location and atmosphere. not crowded when we met family for lunch. Order arrived all at once. waited for the Mozz sticks. 15 mins after food arrived I told server to skip the mozz sticks she said oh they didn't come out they are prob in the window. I said that's ok we are almost done. she said I'll get them to go, I said that's ok. she brought them out to go w check. I ordered them for the meal. They were soggy and hard by the time we got home. Pushy. Poor service and rude. tipped on the total but regretted not being more forceful in saying NO to the very late order that was NOT to go. We won't be back. And neither will our guests. read more

3.5 stars for me. We came back in March on a night Timmy Maia was playing upstairs. We had a reservation and upon arrival had to wait by the entrance. We wanted to sit in the wine room that's off to the left, as the main restaurant when you first walk in is a bit casual. Better for customers wanting a casual dinner. Nice that they have that and also a more formal area in the wine room. Moving on, the hostess brought us to our table in the wine room and I felt the setup to be a bit strange. Before you take a left into the room, you have to walk by a service area. Not what you want to see before having dinner. Guests shouldn't have to walk by that. Poor design. I will say though the actual room is beautifully decorated. As far as the food, the portions are huge. I got the Harvest Apple salad. Nice presentation how they separate each ingredient in the salad. Delicious. Dressing fabulous too. Boyfriend got the bolognese. Massive. He enjoyed as well. They have really nice wine glasses (also quite large) and a nice wine list as well. We then went upstairs for the band. Nice space. Someone ordered the espresso martini and it must be the Grande Espresso Martini for Two? Not sure however I snapped a picture. MASSIVE! We had a nice evening. The only thing I'd say is try and figure out how to reconfigure the setup in the entrance of the wine room. Not pleasant to see a server area and buckets etc on the floor before having dinner. read more

A friend suggested we have lunch at Sicily in Middletown on a Friday afternoon. I had never been so I said sure, but when I saw coal fired pizza, I hesitated. I have Celiac and am GF. A quick review showed lots of options so off we went. The place was very modern, clean with a sophisticated not pizza place vibe. It was hopping for a Friday afternoon. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant near the open kitchen. It was actually quieter there and we were able to have a great conversation. The menu was incredible. So many interesting and unique salad options, a wide selection of entrees and so many pizza options both GF and standard. I chose the lamb chops with a salad. They were perfectly cooked with frisée and fennel salad topped with pomegranate and radish and a siracha aioli. It was good. But not great. I enjoyed it but probably would try something else. My friend had a harvest salad with grilled shrimp. She said the shrimp were crisp on the outside without being dry and had excellent flavor. The salad was huge so she took at least 1/2 home. We were full but who can refuse deconstructed cannoli. To afford my GF needs the cannoli and biscotti bits were served on the side. The filling was delicious. Not overly sweet without being even fresh fruit nested in the center. We split it and still took 1/3 home. We did not order cocktails, but the table next to us had an espresso martini they were sharing that was insane. I included a photo. Service was good, but not exceptional. I would definitely go back read more

Don't let this restaurant's name fool you! This is anything but a pizza joint! We were lucky enough to be seated in a booth in the back. Really nice atmosphere, huge bar, attentive service and a really interesting menu. We shared the Mozzarella Burrata, the Baby Gem salad and the Chicken Marsala. Really interesting and tasty combinations of ingredients in huge portions! Loved our meal! read more

We recently ate on the patio at Sicily. We really enjoyed the view of Main Street. Zaben, our server, was super friendly and made some great food suggestions. He also explained they are a scratch kitchen which meant everything was made fresh. It definitely came through in the flavor and quality. We started with small plates. The Boubon Steak Tips ($23) were flavorful and well cooked. The whipped ricotta ($19) was a table favorite! So tasty! We finished with a craft pizza, the eggplant parmigiana ($22). It had plenty of toppings and a nice flavor profile. Crispy on the crust. We took home leftovers, pizza makes a great breakfast! We will definitely come back! read more

The wine room was very chique- piano music was nice but may be a little loud if sitting close to it. We went for the half price wine bottle/ cheese board Wednesdays and they also had good happy hour deals until 6pm for both drinks and food. All the food was delicious. Pleasantly surprised by how fancy the cheese board was though so crackers would be nice for the array of jams/ honey to go with the cheese. Prices may seem high but portions are huge- I had enough pasta for at least too meals. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return! read more

First the good news. The pizza we had a few weeks ago as takeout was amazing-very flavorful. Based on our pizza experience we decided to go for a sit down meal. The atmosphere is modern and upbeat. That's the end of the good. We had to wait to be waited on but got to watch while people seated after us were helped. When our server did show up she didn't really seem to care. She did however spend a lot of time hanging out by the cash register talking. I ordered the Sunday sauce advertised with sausage and a meatball. Sunday sauce evokes images of a slow simmering day long sauce with a rich deep flavor. This had little flavor actually and the pasta didn't even make it to the al dente stage. While everyone else seemed to get bread when seated we had to ask a couple of times for bland bread - no olive oil nothing. This was in no way worth the $35 dollars they charged. We went on a Thursday night and they were busy so I doubt they'll miss us but we won't be back. read more

When in Middletown, Sicily is worth a visit, especially if Timmy Maia is performing. Get the YOLO pizza. Food: The truffle potato wedges with Parmesan garlic aïoli were the absolute highlight. I wish I had a picture of the YOLO pizza. It was so good the men at the next table were drooling. Drinks: Huge beer selections. 7/10 espresso martini. Service: All hits, no misses. Overall: It's the little things that keep me coming back for more. Go for the show, stay for the truffle wedges! In the summer, the patio is also TDF. read more

My work team and I got sandwiches as a celebration! While people ordered a variety, I got the hot honey chicken sandwich (others got the meatball, or muffuletta or chicken parm). Almost everyone on our team was stuffed after only eating half of their sandwich. The bread was fresh and fluffy while having a great crunch. The fries were good, but not very crispy. The sandwiches, while called in ahead of time, were also a bit late on being ready. read more

Great pizza and menu. Parking is hard to get if you are just to pickup orders. Give yourself enough time to park and walk in. Pickup by kitchen gets a bit busy but helpful service. Off menu items they don't have readily made can take some time. Waited for wings and added 25mins to wait time to payout. Pizza was room temp when I got home but still not bad when you reheat on a pizza stone at home. Priced fair, but if not for the delay in pickup and parking, would rate higher. They are busy, so plan accordingly! read more

I come here often as I work in the area and enjoy their pizza. However, this review is because of the service I had today. I had 20 minutes to get a quick bite to eat, and I called them asking about how long for the soup of the day. They said it's pretty much ready and wouldn't be more than five minutes. So I go over a couple of minutes later and they tell me to hold on due to an issue on their computer. After about 10 minutes waiting, I politely asked "excuse me, is the soup ready?" And someone in an aggressive and annoyed tone passes me my bag of food and says "here. Have a nice day. " no sorry for the wait, no "hey just take it because this issue is our fault" , just aggression as if it was my fault? Normally, I don't leave negative reviews but to a place that has good food and I try to visit often to support a local business. It does not seem right to treat your customers this way based off your own internal issues... I will probably come back because this was just one person . but please know that the service here cannot be the best . read more

I have been dragged here multiple times and it is always the same outcome. The bartenders are friendly, drinks are not good. Order a wine.... And even though I have tried the food about 4 times, it always is a huge disappointment. I don't know how this place is busy. With so many other options in Middletown don't waste your time going here... at least not for food. read more

My brother and I decided to come here for my birthday lunch. The restaurant is huge and has a decked out bar. We were immediately seated and are server was quick to come to our table. She came with complimentary bread with a some sort of vegetable spread, which was okay. We ordered a Half Cheese and Pepperoni pizza and my brother had a glass of Merlot. The pizza was good but as I kept biting into my pizza I just tasted a mass amount of oil coming from pizza. The pizza had great crispiness and great flavor but the oil after bite wasn't working for me, although the pizza didn't appear oily when coming out. Our waitress was very pleasant and customer service was great. She was attentive and the restaurant is definitely a vibe. The three star isn't for the customer service but rather the pizza. read more

Pizza is great. Easily the best pizza in Middletown. The menu is kind of odd with the offerings in the prices are quite high for some of the actual full meals but if you want a solid pizza and not have to drive to New Haven, I would suggest getting a pepperoni pizza from this place for sure read more

First timer, recommended as a good happy hour spot. I have the utmost respect for the servers who wait on customers that sit upstairs.

I thought it was just ok and a bit expensive. I would definitely go again and order a meal read more

Great home-made food, good service, and great interior. The vibes of the wine room are beautiful.

Oh my. This place is fabulous! The menu offers a LOT of options. We were impressed with the ingredients, the care & talents of the chef and staff. The mozerella cheese on the pizza is of high quality; not oily. The parpadelle, like all the pasta, is hand rolled. The 40-hour short rib feeds two people for a few days (well worth the price), the calamari won my husband over (and he is old school Italian). The broccoli rabe & sausage sandwich is enough for two or three people! We will definitely be back, with family and friends!! Great value for the price paid! And our server Lexi was SO genuine and friendly! GREAT dining experience! read more

Incredible food - very authentic Italian. Huge portions so bring your appetite. Had the Chicken Parmigiana and it could have fed at least 3 adults! Salads were fresh with generous portions. For an appetizer get the Arancini - splendid! One of the best Italian meals I have had! read more

Sicily Coal Fired Pizza - Chicken Parmigiana - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Sometimes the big showy is a red flag. Good food, yet nothing that would beg me to return. Pizza, good by Middletown standards, coming from someone who lives in New Haven. Eggplant Frites tasty but as you get to the layers underneath the top they become soggy and oil soaked. Too much lavender honey which is a nice compliment but a little can go a long way. Brussels spout dish was good. Again...food was good but nothing I would run back to. We sat in the "wine bar" side which is nicely decorated in "hey, I'm ultra Italian goomba" style. They're just missing the statue of an angel pissing into a fountain. Piano playing great music which is a nice touch to the ambiences. Misha? Commands a well run bar, yet the small touches that separate a wine bar from a bar that has a ton of name brand wines need attention. Water glasses should be filled continuously until the patron states that they are done. Wine glasses, if a bottle of wine is purchased, anytime the server walks by should automatically refill/pour a glass. In other words, the glass should never be empty. Wine pricing is all over the place. $22/6oz pour of an other wise $20 retail bottle of white wine is kinda ludicrous, but bills have to be paid and food costs are high even at the wholesale level. I get that. Otherwise, nice place to try out once or meet up with friends while out in Middletown. My cautionary tale would be, watch out that you don't become another Cava in Bristol. read more

Tonight I attempted to dine here with a friend that I hadn't seen in over 10 years and unfortunately the night ended in turmoil. When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait, which was no problem because I could see they were busy. I sat at the bar and had a glass of wine until our table was available. We were seated about 25 minutes later & ordered our food about 10 minutes after being seated. Our appetizers came out within 20 minutes. When we were seated there was a family seated next to us that ended up leaving because the wait was too long & they hadn't gotten their food so they asked for everything to go. I saw them speak with the manager and they were given a complimentary dessert as a make good. Another couple comes a while later and orders drinks and food. Their food and drinks come out before our entrees. It's at that point that I look at the time and realize that about 90 minutes have passed and we still have not received our food. We start looking for our waitress, Gabby but I couldn't find her so I went to the hostess to see about our meals. She remembers seating us and thought it was strange that the table next to us got their food first. She heads to the back and comes back to our table with our entrees and Gabby is with her. I express my grievance that it took nearly 2 hours to receive entrees and the table next to us had received their meal before us and I would like our bill discounted for the delay. She immediately has an attitude and asks me "why" and states "they ordered a pizza, it only takes 5 minutes." I responded that my friend ordered a salad and that doesn't require cooking so that wasn't an excuse. Her and I have an unpleasant exchange, she was defensive and I told her she shouldn't be a bitch to a customer. She told me she was one of the owners and I said if that's the case it's unfortunate that an owner would speak to customer in that manner. She then reveals she's 23 & not the owner & I rebutted well at least we've learned that she's a liar. I asked to speak with a manager and at that point a girl named Sabrina comes over & tells me she can give me a gift card. I informed her that I do not live here, I'm in town visiting & after being treated that way by my server I have no intention on returning to the restaurant & would prefer a percentage off of our bill. There was a lot of back & forth & Sabrina called me entitled & implied that I just wanted something taken off my bill. At this point we are in a heated exchange and a third girl comes over to try and deescalate the situation. I asked for our food to go and to speak to another manager. While we are packing up our food, another older woman that I later learned is the owner Maria, comes to our table and is yelling at me saying I should be ashamed because I made my waitress cry in the bathroom and I said that was unfortunate. Her and I had an exchange & she threatens to call the cops on me if I didn't pay the bill. Now let me be clear -- I never once said I wouldn't pay my bill. I didn't pack up my things, I didn't even have my food covered so I was unsure where the accusation that I wasn't going to pay my bill came from. It truly felt like we were being profiled as two black women. As I'm trying to explain everything to the second manager Sal, Sabrina & Maria are still there ganging up on my friend and I, yelling for me to give them my fucking card and that I need to fucking leave or they're going to call the cops. At this point Sabrina is being extremely aggressive to the point that a male staff member has to hold her back. My friend & I are no threat to anyone as we are seated in a corner booth, surrounded by a bunch of staff being attacked all because I asked for a percentage off of my bill after having to wait nearly 2 hours for pasta and a salad. I have been to many restaurants and have never in my life been treated like this before. I've since learned that they are all related so it's no surprise to see that behavior being condoned. I couldn't have made this up if I tried. Awful experience. read more

Decided to go out to lunch with my friend. He is a chef and said this Sicily, and their coal food pizza is wonderful. It's funny as neither of us ended up ordering pizza. I will say this, the pizza comes in one size, no slices here! It's a fairly large place. With huge TVs that were showing opening day and other sports. I think this would be a good place to watch your favorite team with some class thrown in. We sat at the bar and perused the menu. Both of us being foodies we took a long time deciding on drinks to start. I ended up deciding on a blueberry cider at the suggestion of our bartender/server. She was right on the money. I really enjoyed it. For lunch, my friend chose the porcetta grinder. It was FILLED with meat and delicious greens. It had a nice kick of spices. I chose the Figgy Piggy. A grilled cheese with fig jam, caramelized onions, and bacon! I swapped out cheddar for the mozzarella. It's totally delicious. It came with their version of fries. Which are these fat, curly seasoned potatoes. Tasted GREAT! The portions are good size, and I had enough for a snack at home. read more
