The pizza crust was surprisingly crisp and tasty, but there was too much of the watery tomato sauce. The topping was just a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and a few basil leaves, which didn't add much flavor but was a nice change from the gooey cheap mozzarella piled on at most slice counters in the city. We also got the Sicilian rice ball, expecting an order of three little balls like the ones at most Italian pork stores or delis (or like Bar Stuzzichini's rice balls, which are amazing, even though the restaurant looks like Mozzarelli's in the Green Hills Mall in Nashville, Tennessee...but I digress). This rice ball was huge, the size of my head, filled with meat, rice and frozen peas (they weren't frozen still, but there was a taste of freezer burn), topped with tons of tomato sauce and loads of cheese. Kind of bland but not terrible, but still a mediocre lunch.
