Discover the best pizza in Sicilia

Sicilia has its own pizza language, split between two great cities. In Palermo, the street-food classic is sfincione: a thick, spongy base topped with tomato, onion, anchovy, caciocavallo and a scatter of breadcrumbs, sold by the slab. On the east coast, Catania sits in the shadow of Etna and runs its own busy pizzeria scene, from Neapolitan rounds to local takes. Did you know sfincione traditionally appears around the holidays in Palermo, baked in trays rather than on a peel? These are the Sicilian spots worth seeking out, ordered by the pizza rather than the queue.
