Highly Recommended Golden Brown Crispy Crust
After hearing multiple recommendations from my readers, I decided to try Shady Side Tavern’s Pan Fried Sicilian Pizza for myself, and I’m glad I did. I ordered a PFS with onions to go, and it met my expectations. Unlike most pan-fried Sicilian pizzas in the Back Mountain area, this one was baked to a deeper, well done, golden-brown perfection. The crust was a standout — crispy on the bottom, crunchy around the edges, yet soft on the inside, creating a delightful texture contrast in every bite.

Super Saucy Fresh Tasting Tomatoes
The sauce was another highlight, generously applied, vibrant, and chunky with a natural tomato flavor. It had a very light seasoning, if any, with fresh sliced and diced onions adding a nice touch. The cheese was particularly unique; it had a thick, matte finish and sometimes slid off in one piece. It seemed to be a blend of cheddar and another gooey cheese, but the exact combination was intriguingly hard to pinpoint.
For those curious about the grease factor, Shady Side Tavern’s Pan Fried Sicilian Pizza leans towards the moderately high side. It’s deliciously flavorful but definitely on the greasier side of things.
