Las Vegas is highly influenced by Italian culture. In the \"mob days\" it wasn't uncommon for Italian culture to thrive in the town. The mobsters, many of Italian descent would have families that lived here. The family would set up shop and run a legitimate business in town. Sometimes even mobster's themselves would put up legitimate business as a means to launder money procured in not-so-legal sorts of ways.\n\nSilici's Pizza on Twain claims to have been in business since 1979. That's over 30 years. And while this establishment may or may not have been related with any of the nefarious history of Vegas, I can tell you that this place is ran by the same people who started it many years ago. The owner, a man well into his 70s and his son can often be seen in the place. This place does NO advertising aside from a flier that they rarely ever hand out at random. You have to actually go there to get a menu/flier. It's this kind of charm that really gives this place much appeal. \n\nBut charm alone does not make a good place to eat. Sicili's has to have the best pizza that I have ever eaten. This claim alone speaks bundles since I love pizza and am very picky about it. I resist the cardboard pizza chains (that's you - Domino's, Papa John's, and Little Caesar's) whenever I can. So when I find a solid authentic Italian pizza place, I have to go for it.\n\nSicili's doesn't skimp on the quality. It's truly as authentic as you can get. The sauce is sweet and tangy and the dough is robust with a flavor all it's own. Their unique blend of cheeses is a secret and the pinnacle of the toppings. Everything from this point is secondary. It's excellent in freshness and quality, but hard to outdo the core of what makes a good pizza splendid. \n\nThis business is strictly carry-out and delivery only. Don't expect to be able to sit down and eat. But then again, that's not what this place is about. The prices are moderate to the higher end. But keep in mind the quality you're getting. If it's a $10 cardboard pizza you want... there's places for that. If you want a quality pie, come to Sicili's and pay the little bit extra.\n\nMy $.02 Cents:\n4 Stars - Would have rendered a perfect score if the prices were a bit lower. But you do get your money's worth. Good for a treat if you want some genuine Italian style pizza at home. My suggestion - hit up their lunch/dinner specials for the best value.
