Sicilian Delight

5 stars are not enough for this absolutely extraordinary 100/100 experience
that my fiancé and I had. The owner Stefano was such a blessing and he is the definition of what an amazing restaurant owner should be. He was so kind, crazy outgoing and overall very pleasant to talk to and be around. And the pizza omg, so ABSOLUTELY delicious!!!!! I’m from New Jersey and since moving up here, I had yet to find a pizza joint that compared to any of the others back home but LET ME TELL YOU, this place knocks those ones out of the park! The undercarriage is perfectly crispy, cheese is melty and the sauce is seasoned great too! We got a Chicago style, a honey barbecue, white broccoli, and a margarita. They were all the best versions of those pizzas I have ever had ESPECIALLY the barbecue and the Chicago! We only added one photo and that’s of the cannolis because we couldn’t wait to eat the pizza and garlic knots so much so that we forgot to take pictures! All in all, great place, great owner, amazing food, definitely our new spot!

If I could give more stars, I would! Stefano is the perfect example of a customer focused business owner. The food is absolutely amazing, and the owners are even more incredible. (If you'd like some details on my experience, see below.)

I've eaten at Sicilian Delight since I was a child, always one of my favorites! Last month I decided to place an order online to pick up and take home for dinner for my family on a Wednesday night. I was SO confused and disappointed when I got home with the quality of the food that I had received. *I knew that this was NOT the quality that I have ever experienced from them, so I wanted to reach out and let the owner know my experience.
I sent a message on Facebook asking who I could discuss this with. Within 30 minutes I received a phone call from the owner personally, who was so apologetic and let me know that he was out of town (at one of his other locations) and that he had some new employees working that day. He wanted to make things right, and told me to stop by later that week when he was back behind the counter.

2 days later I walked up to the counter and he immediately recognized me. He not only remade the entire order for free, but also threw in some drinks while I waited. The replacement food that I received was EXACTLY the quality that I remembered and loved.

I mean this when I say that I have NEVER in my life had such an incredibly positive interaction with a business owner. Stefano AND his wife both thanked me several times with such genuine sincerity and appreciation for me bringing the issue to their attention. They went above and beyond to more than rectify the situation. Stefano and Sicilian Delight have truly solidified my lifetime support.

Love this place, beem coming her for years. The pizza is always the best!! Workers are always so kind.

The staff are always very kind and funny.

The food is delicious. Literally can’t decide what my favorite thing was.

If you’re looking for good Brooklyn style pizza or some tasty wings, this is the place.

If I can give 6 stars I would. They are so friendly. The people that own it treat you like family. They are not picky about every single thing and often give you free things. They treat you like you are a king. They remember number of kids and names even when we haven't been there much. It's amazing the quality of service. I have never seen anything like it.

The pizza is amazing. The Stromboli is amazing. It is not greasy. It is 100% New York City authentic. And it is always consistently good. I use to drive to NYC and purposely get the pizza. That is now pointless as I can get the same at Sicilian Delight.

This is my new goto location for pizza when I am in ithaca. I only wish they had one closer to us in Elmira. I often drive an hour just to come here for lunch.

Don't let it fool you that they are in a mall. I told my brother about it and the first thought he had was "mall pizza" is gross. But after he tried it he was amazed. They are a high quality authentic NYC style pizza place that just so happens to be in a mall. And everytime regardless of who is working the pizza is always the same great taste. I always buy a couple extra pizzas to take home. It tastes great reheated in the oven as well.

Edit:
After about 20 pizzas total over the course of a year, I did get 1 pizza that the crust was not fully cooked. But 1/20 is not bad. I didn't care because I bought a few pizzas. But if I bought one alone I'm sure they were fix it. They are just that type of people.

I’ve been going to Sicilian Delight since I was 2 and the food has always been great. Stephano and all the guys that work here are super nice and helpful and I just want to give them thanks for the food and great memories they have provided over the years!

We visited after the store closed, and the owner was extremely kind to invite us to have free pizza! Very delicious! Best pizza I’ve had in Ithaca!

Amazing new owners very kind ! I haven’t been to the mall in a long time. Decided to stop. i purchased a variety of their slices they all tasted amazing my kids and family loved it all. We will be back for the jumbo hot wings amd more pizza Crust is crispy flavors are robust. Highly recommend for everyone Prices are great too

Wow 🤩 Best pizza ever ❤.. Stefano is the best pizza man I have ever seen .
I will be back for sure … if I could give 10 stars I would .
For me this is Magic 🤩

Nothing but amazing and friendly energy from the staff! They're incredibly kind and the pizza is delicious as well! Would highly recommend!

I would take a picture of the rest of the food I got but it was so good I couldn't hold off! Meatballs are amazing and made fresh as well as my slice of chicken bacon ranch pizza. The NY cheesecake is so good too!!! Super friendly and and awesome experience. Best place to eat in the mall for sure.

Everyone and their mom needs to go to Sicilian delight immediately everything is gas it’s must try! If you are lucky enough to go on a day that Michael is working the service will be even better then the food, seriously the best🤌

Sicilian Delight has the loveliest and nicest staff/cook in the town!

I was actually here yesterday as a door dash driver. When I arrived there, they told me that the pizza would take few minutes and suddenly asked me if I want any drink! At first, I thought I heard wrong and actually told them I was just a delivery man. But with the biggest smile, they once again offered me a cup for fountain drink and said it’s their offering for having to wait! :)

Really hard to find restaurants like this these days with such a friendly staffs and positive energy. Definitely going back with my family for pizzas!
The pizzas that I saw while waiting looked so great as well!

I just ordered food here from ithacatogo and wrote on the instructions to please make sure everything is secure so the sauce doesn't fall out of the containers. They went out of their way for a 12 dollar order to make sure that didn't happen. Not to mention the rice balls were delicious! I really appreciate their customer service and will definitely be coming back here again :)

Delicious, unique pizza and prompt, friendly customer service! Highly recommended. ☮😂😎

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They have the best pizza in the area, hands down. Their pizza dough and marinara sauce are the best I've tried. The quality just doesn't compare to all the other pizzerias in and around Ithaca, theirs is so much better. It tastes like pizza you could eat in NYC (because I've eaten pizza in NYC many times). To top that off, the owners are suuuuper nice and careful with your food. I highly recommend eating here, several times!

absolutely great people - amazing customer service - and even better pizza ☝🏼🤗

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN THIS CITY. The workers are passionate about their pizza. We were given free drinks and candy with our order of 2 slices of pizza just because she's nice. I went up to buy another slice of the honey barbecue pizza (she recommended that one) because of the energy here. It's a hidden gem in the mall. Wouldn't have expected such passion to be here.

Quite possibly the best reason to go to Shops at Ithaca Mall. Sicilian Delight was everything its name suggests. Authentic, quality food with fast and incredible service. I went there just looking for a cheese pizza for the wife and kids. I wound up adding a meat lovers’ stromboli and some garlic knots because they looked and smelled incredible. The staff was so friendly and accommodating.

I don’t want to forget the best part! The specials! Their daily specials are so reasonable. Each day had something new to try at great prices. As a family of 4 that means a lot to me. I see myself calling ahead for take-out and bringing home this new family favorite for dinner often. Do yourself a favor and visit this Central New York restaurant that tastes like New York City Pizza.

Great pizza and service. Sicilian Delight provided many pizzas for a large function. Everyone at Sicilian Delight was really helpful in making sure the pizzas were ready on time and getting them to my car. The pizzas were happily devoured by kids and adults.
