Ozone Pizza

Sicilian pizza takes top billing.

"Ozone" and "Pizza." I never would have thought to put the two together. Close up, the awning revealed an even odder handle: "hippy rolls," (sometimes, "hippie"), which look like skinny-ass calzones filled with sausage and peppers (or other pizza-friendly ingredients) that peek out both ends.

Now that I've tried a roll at Giovanni's, I passed on Ozone's version in favor of their stellar, saucy Sicilian slice ($1.75). The lasagna slice ($2.75) is a load, best regarded as a small main course. It's fine, but you might enjoy a second slice of Sicilian even more.

On a later visit to the neighborhood, while climbing the stairs to the elevated A train, I saw that the awning had exchanged its structuralist slice (first awning photo) for a more realistic rendition (following photo). I also noted the addition of a small triskelion at upper left, emphasizing the Sicilian connection.

Dave,
I've seen hippy rolls advertised also at the pizzeria on the corner of 110 and Columbus but haven't had the nerve to have one yet. Let me know if you try it.

Ozone Pizza has THE best scicilian pie ever.

It's more like a marinara pie. No gloppy cheese.

Nice crust, good sauce. A sprinkling of cheese here and there.

Perfect bread, to sauce, to cheese ratio.

Also, stuffed artichokes to die for!(don't raise the price!)

What does this review say ? It sounds like you didn't enjoy the Sicilian. Let me tell you something, I have eaten more pizza in one year than most people have ever eaten in their life and Ozone Pizzeria has, by far, the best Sicilian pizza you will ever taste.

I wrote that it was stellar (a word I don't throw around on Eating In Translation) and that rather than order a lasagna slice, you might prefer two slices of the Sicilian. More direct is not my style, but surely you've caught my drift.
