    Round pizza made into a square. Real Sicilian is crust, cheese, sauce.  This is crust, sauce cheese.

    I read that here was the best Sicilian pizza in Williamsburg VA - as good as Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. Well, I'm from Brooklyn & went to high school a couple of blocks from Spumoni Gardens. I ate their Sicilian, or "square" as we called it, for decades. The product from Larry's is not Sicilian pizza at all. The hallmark of Sicilian pizza is that the cheese is on the crust & covered with sauce - opposite of the round variety. Additionally, Sicilian pizza has a thick crust & it's baked in the pizza oven in a black iron pan. It's the granddad of 'deep dish'. Sicilian is thick, stiff, non-folding, and a bubbling good time where the cheese is completely melted & adheres well to the cooked base crust. Larry's takes a round pizza & simply makes it square. They do not bake it properly making the 4 center pieces, trash. Complete soup in the middle. So it's not Sicilian & 1/4 is garbage. This is not to say that it's not the best Sicilian in Williamsburg. I kept & ate their 12 pieces on the edge whereas I've thrown out entire pies I've bought in this pathetic pizza town. The crust tastes ok. That's better right there. The sauce is good. The cheese should be melted so I can't really say the quality, as lower quality cheeses leach oil onto the pizza instead of evenly melting. My pizza still had individual nodules of cheese. I will not be patronizing Larry's again.

    This is one of our favorite places to eat here in the Burg. It's close to our home and the food is awesome

First them meal: Outstanding. The wifey and I both ordered small pizzas. Mine was the All Meat and the wifey ordered the Arugula and Prosciutto. Let me say again both were outstanding and tasted amazing. When talking about my old meat pizza out of the four or five meats on mine with standard it out above the others was the sausage. Had an absolutely wonderful flavor. But surprisingly it didn't overpower when it was combined with the other meats. As for the wife, this is the second time she's had this combination type Pizza. The first time was in an authentic Italian restaurant, but was in Mexico. Yeah, that's kind of crazy pizza in Mexico but at that location down there it was incredible enough to make my wife want it again and this is the first time we have found a location that served a similar pizza. The arugula was fresh, not welted and really popped with flavor. Now both the wife and I had to really agree that the crust for both pizzas was not that heavy dough type. It had a little fluff to it, making it not weighing in your belly after you eat it. Staff: our server was outstanding as well. Very intentive checked on us several times and we even had some conversation back-and-forth. I believe we may have talked also to the owner who was sitting out front. If nothing else he was the manager again another very friendly man that we enjoyed our conversation with. As for the location: we found it very clean. And well kept. If you look at my other past reviews at locations via visited the one thing we really base cleanliness on is sometimes the restrooms. Well, in a shared ladies/men room, it was also very clean and well kept. So I will say again, outstanding location, outstanding staff, and wonderful food. If you're in the area absolutely I would recommend this for your lunchtime meal. We absolutely look forward to going back at a later time and trying some of the other dishes they offer.

They asked us if we wanted to wait for a few minutes at the bar while they prepared our table so we ordered a couple of drinks. As soon as we ordered they came to get us. No big deal, we just paid and took our drinks with us. We were sat toward the front of the restaurant, which gave us the perfect people-watching position. Our server stopped by to greet us and said she'd be back. Waters and bread were delivered and she oriented us to the menu. We made our selections of salmon for my husband and short ribs with a side of squash. Everything was delicious. We were happy with our selections and so full when we left. I appreciate that the short ribs are boneless and tender and had the perfect seasoning. I'd eat that dish again anytime!

Starting with the service, the staff were attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. While portion sizes were reasonable, several dishes lacked the creativity and seasoning needed to stand out. The mussels and French onion soup were highlights, but the escargot and rotisserie chicken were only average. For dessert, the Gateau Breton is fantastic and a standout! However, I would skip the beignets if you are expecting the traditional version. These are smaller with the consistency of a donut hole, and lack the light, pillowy texture typically associated with classic beignets.

Unfortunately, because of the rain and lightning storm, the outdoor seating wasn't available either. My son had a friend with him who had never been to a Mellow Mushroom before. He's an old soul who absolutely loves '70s music, so I knew he would get a kick out of the fun, funky atmosphere and all the nostalgic décor. Unfortunately, the hostess wasn't very welcoming. We thought we could at least let the kids walk into the restaurant for a minute to check out the vibe of Mellow Mushroom, but she didn't seem very thrilled with the two 15-year-old boys looking around. I understand they were busy, but a little friendliness would have gone a long way! Of course, we wanted him to still have the Mellow Mushroom experience, so we decided to DoorDash it the next night! The pizza was delicious--between the two boys, they ate an entire large pepperoni pizza! Of course, my go-to is always the Holy Shiitake, and it did not disappoint! Even though he didn't get to experience Mellow Mushroom Restaurant fully in person, he absolutely loved the pizza, so I guess we still managed to give him a little taste of the Mellow Mushroom experience! If you're visiting Williamsburg, Mellow Mushroom is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a wait during busy Friday nights and weekends--and hopefully you'll get a more welcoming greeting than we did!
