Sicilian Art Pizzeria in Bromley

AVOID if you want good customer service and a full set of teeth. There was a stone in my pizza that chipped several of my front teeth. When I told the owner he became very defensive and said he didn't grow the pizza ingredients and so wasn't to blame. There was no sympathy or apologies. He stropped off and ignored us until we left. I told several local friends about the incident and they said they had heard a lot of people had found him very rude and unhelpful. Unsurprisingly, will never visit again!!! And will warn other locals.

My pizza was actually ok, but the real test of any business is how they respond when things go wrong. My friend chipped a tooth on a foreign object in her pizza, so naturally stopped eating it. When this was pointed out to the owner/waiter, he mumbled something to the effect that the tomatoes in their pizzas weren't their responsibility, and then presented us with the full bill. No acknowledgment. No apology. No "What can we do to fix this?" Very poor. Won't be going back.

This is an outstanding little restaurant offering a great experience, for about 30 covers a night. The staff are friendly, funny and Sicilian-direct. Their eponymous staples - arancini and cannoli - are wonderful and often sell out. I love the décor and the banter. It's a great evening out for about £40 a head (with drinks). Their cocktails are good, especially the Negronis. They could do with a few more entry-level wines on the list, but the house wines by the glass are fine.

Great starters, delicious pizzas and fast helpful service. Would recommend. Well located between Penge and Beckenham

I always wanted to come to this restaurant and when we managed to come, the first experience was terrible. We came at 8.45pm on 28/11/23 to have dinner and a couple of wine glasses, when entering we’ve been told straight away that it was take away only. I told the waiter that on Google the closing time was 10pm, and was answered, in an extremely rude way, that they had cleaned the kitchen already. That’s absolutely ridiculous and they lost customers. Never coming back. Terrible customer service and super rude staff.

Small restaurant with interesting decor. Good menu. Garlic bread had big chunks of garlic. Pizzas were OK, nothing special. Service on the slow side. Quite friendly but abrupt at times. Service charge is added to bill.

Very RUDE , poor customer service( by the owner). Pizza comes with black olives with stones. It’s the first time in my life a pizza with black olives with stones. I’m so tired today so I will put more info about this place during a weekend.really disappointed . This place is a JOKE! The pizza was very greasy. First and last time in this place.

Nice setting just really poor standard of food. Pasta was under cooked when I said this to a staff member I got a reply of ''it's al dente that's how it is'' he then got a little upset about it and asked what I wanted to do I asked for it to be sorted please, he came back with the same food in a different bowl which seemed to be put in the oven and super heated as the bowl was so hot he had to warn me about it. But still a little under cooked. Beer was warm and when asked for ice to help chill he seemed shocked. Don't bother asking for gluten free pizza dough he said it has to be pre ordered as it takes 2 hours to make. Who knows what they want until you see the menu. So pasta was half left also another party member left 2 thirds of their pasta dish, flavours were nice just undercooked. The pizza was just ok nothing special almost 1 hole pizza was left. A starter of bruschetta for 4 of us was tasty but bread was slightly burnt. Then desert, well only half the menu was available on a Saturday night? Overall we all said never again we would have been better off going to the witherspoons just down the road for better quality food. Imho a little over priced for what we got 4 starters 6 main course which a third was left as not good and 4 deserts around £300

Service was unwelcoming snd waiter seemed moody until it was time we finished our food and had to pay the bill. Wanted to see what the back bit of the restaurant and got shouted at ‘what’s going on here’. However, the food is so delicious, haven’t had a good pizza like that in a while. Think they are from a gas oven though, instead of an authentic pizza oven, however I may stand in-corrected. Interior is beautiful and authentic. Would come back just for the food!

Absolutely beauitful fresh delicious food no more said, a gem of a local restaurant. Very friendly staff and great service

Lovely little restaurant Great wine Super starters Next time would ask to sit up at the back not next to the door. Felt like we had to keep the waiter happy instead of other way round A little intimidating if we asked him questions on anything and seemed like he was always in a hurry therefore felt pressurised and not very relaxing!

I am very fortunate to live within walking distance of this little gem of a restaurant that offers both traditional and specialty pizza, freshly cooked. The decor is very Italian and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly.

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. An accidental find when driving out this way. We will definitely be back. 10/10

What a brilliant evening. Hosted amazingly. Amazing restaurant. Food incredible. Back soon 100% our new local.

Petit resto familial de passionnés et rempli d'habitués. Vraiment authentique. La qualité des ingrédients est là. C'est goûtu, copieux, et vraiment exquis. Service haut en couleurs. Vraiment une bonne adresse à visiter les yeux fermés. Chapeau bas les artistes !

It’s the best Italian restaurant in the area! (And we have tried them all) Food was incredible, all home made using best ingredients. Aubergine starter is a must and pizza was great. Service was great and very friendly. It looks quite dark from the outside but decor is light and colourful. We will be back soon!

Simply outstanding. The pizza at this restaurant was perfect. Incredibly tasty, perfectly made, smoky and authentic. Amazing.

Love Sicilian Art, feel lucky it’s been our local place when we dine out. Well priced and real homely feel inside. Tapas boards are fantastic and pizzas freshly made in front of you and also not too expensive. Staff lovely. Great place.

The food is excellent and as good as anything you’d find in Sicily. Order the arancini - it’s so good, the perfect mix of cheesy, tomato gooey comfort. We really love the atmosphere too, it’s a restaurant loved by locals as demonstrated by the wall...

On the outskirts of Penge is the most fantastic Italian restaurant. The starters were amazing! stuffed mushroom was just memorable. Totally enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The speciality is clearly pizza! Hand made by family members. Speciality beers are absolutely worth a try! Sorry it took...

Visited during our trip to london, the service is super friendly and welcoming, and the pizzas are rather good. I also very much liked the garlic bread they do here

What an amazing find, the food was so delicious. Presentation was fantastic and the freshness and taste were sublime. Our service was very on the ball, it couldn’t have been any better. We are planning to revisit very soon with our Italian family member as...

We have been coming to this quaint little pizza place for years and it never disappoints. The staff are all very friendly and give you a warm welcome and the pizzas are all very fresh and delicious at a reasonable price. I think it’s a...

Faultless - we’ve been dining here for the past 5 years and have never had reason to complain or be disappointed. The food is consistently amazing and delicious. The stuffed mushrooms are out of this world delicious and the pizzas are one better than the...

Just thinking about the pizza makes me happy. got two pizzas to take away and as expected they were both Incredibly good. Not cheap but worth every penny.

I love this place. Pre COVID it was a great place to eat. Food excellent, house wine lovely, staff friendly. And great value. Tonight I had them deliver. Can’t fault them at all. Pizza hot and tasty. Highly recommend this place.

We go here with our son and he loves it as much as we do. Super-friendly (including the football chat from the owner), delicious pizzas and lovely, cosy vibe

We went as recommended by someone and were looking for that difference, but were disappointed. Nothing special, just the usual fayre. Service was slow and minimal interaction for a small restaurant.

Fantastic stuffed mushrooms, authentic pizza and Sicilian wines. Cannoli and pistachio gelato. All served up by the charismatic Cesare, what’s not to like? Hard to imagine better value.

Just has family meal here. Calamari and Pizza lovely. The best ingredients cooked to perfection. Wine and Beer fab too.

I have pizza from Sicilian Art very regularly, at least once per week either in the restaurant or to take away. It simply is delicious. I would suggest Calzone Sicilian Art, calzone fumo, bufala or Parma in particular. Amongst the starters, Arancini are particularly nice.

I am a regular to this amazing establishment since they open and so glad that they reopened even if it is takeaway only.We still can enjoy the best italian food in this difficult time .Love

Two stars because, in spite of liking their pizzas, I have no time for the curt service on offer at Sicilian Art. The waiter is grumpy at best, rude most of the times and life's too short. Lucky for me, the world is full of...

My wife and I visited last Friday, 29th November. We shared the Arancini Siciliana and the stuffed mushrooms for starters. Both dishes were delicious. Good size portions and full of flavour. For mains I had the disco volante pizza and my wife had the salsiccia e friarielli pizza. Unfortunately she hadn’t noticed that it had Gorgonzola on it so we swapped as she doesn’t like blue cheese and I love it. I still managed to have a good bite out of the one I’d ordered though so can comment on both. They were lovely! We also had a bottle of the primitivo wine at £27 a bottle. This is our usual tipple when we visit this place and it is a beautiful wine. We found this place last year as we live nearby and we are fairly regular customers so I thought it about time I got round to reviewing it. I’ve told all my mates about it and highly recommend it to anyone who loves good pizza, good wine and a lovely cosy ambience. Great value for the quality of food

Veľmi sme si užili spoločnú večeru, boli sme 5ti, a obsluha bola veľmi milá a ochotná, mladý muž šikovne zavládol sám celu reštauráciu. Pizza bola dobrá, a moje cestoviny boli skoro ako v Taliansku :)Určite by som to odporúčala.

Just found this wonderful little place by accident and so happy we did! Probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, all alongside a friendly people and a warm environment! Will be back!

It never disappoints. A cozy atmosphere, you feel as though you’re in Sicily when you walk through the front door. The owner also cooks and is personable and welcoming. The starters are sublime! There is a great choice of Italian Pizzas, wine and desserts. Both of my adult children love it here.

I had a great time last night with my familly. Fantastic service, food, great wine, but the most amazing was the way that our waiter made us feel part of the family. Trully recomended!

Small typical Italian restaurant, very authentic in terms of food choices and tastes, staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend.

Have you ever heard about customer service? Probably not.Staff seems to be annoyed by our presence. I never left a restaurant without leaving tips but honestly this time i had to.Foods quality? It doesnt matter, you are not the only sicilian restaurant, people goes to restaurants to have good times.

La miglior pizza italiana... fuori dall'Italia! Quando vado all'estero non amo frequentare ristoranti italiani. Ma questa volta ero ospite, non potevo rifiutare e... sono rimasto soddisfatto! Sembrava veramente di essere in Italia, per l'accoglienza, per la simpatia del personale, per la pizza che era veramente eccezionale.Consigliato al 100%

I had high hopes for this place, being Italian and having grown up in Sicily I was really looking forward to a good authentic pizza. Unfortunately it was not to be.

The food is EXCELLENT!!! But the service very Bad, Poor, etc... The man who served us very rude I will not be returning anymore..

Been meaning to try this place for a long time. So glad that we finally did. Great place, nice people and good food. Will be going back very soon.

Last night I tasted the most incredible Sicilian Food. The owner and his family who are Sicilian, insist of having only the best Sicilian ingredients and wines. Even the Olive Oil is from their families own olive grove back home. Its just a 24 cover restaurant and is decorated with Sicilian pottery, art and food. If you love Pizza, homemade lasagne, ragu arancini and more, then you will fall in love with this gem which is on the way from Beckenham to Penge. Cant wait to go back with my children who are Pizza afficionadas.

Very glad to find this interesting looking restaurant. Good sicilian beer, attentive service and as title says:perfect pizzas.I would visit again

Tired of the ubiquitous Neapolitan style pizzas, we decided to give this restaurant a try. Sicilian Art offers Sicilian-style pizzas, and fluffy, moreish arancinis. The pizzas were markedly better than the ones offered by most pizzerias in London. The service at Sicilian Art is a bit curt but the tasty food warrants a second visit.

Disappointing! We visited Sicilian art while ago and enjoyed it very much. However, our second visit somewhat disappointing. Our starters were lovely, Sicilian salad and arancini. We did not like the pizza at all. Something was wrong with pizza and the sauce. We are not sure, we would visit again to eat pizza at Sicilian Art.

Pizza was delicious but they are not keen to adapt to different dietary requirements. Also, on my second visit I found out they are not Italian at all. How interesting as they insist on speaking basic Italian to you but actually their mother’s tongue is something else.

Well, what can I say ! Food and speed of service was outstanding and one of the best pizzas I have ever had... but the rude miserable waiter ruined my birthday! He looked as if we were there to annoy him, short tempered, rude arrogant, and when I tried to speak Italian to him he pretended he could not understand a word , yet every Italian before even in Italy could understand me , all except him! Only started to smile when the bill came hoping I guess for a tip!! Shame as I would have loved to go back!

First visit to this establishment. Was recommended by a friend. The pizzas were one of the best we had. House red wine was delicious. Will definitely be going back again

Not bad food, unfortunately Customer service left alot to be desired. I don't expect to be waited on hand and foot but I also don't expect to be made to feel uncomfortable the entire time we are there, so we won't be returning. There are far more welcoming places for families in the area, I suggest to try those first.

Beckenham people should support this restaurant - just hop on a bus from Beckenham. Generous antipasti and great pizzas and calzone. Very drinkable and reasonably priced red and white wines. Friendly service.

This place was recommended by our neighbour's parents and we are delighted to have discovered. I honestly think that it's the best Italian restaurant in London.

This is now my favourite Italian restaurant and I would highly recommend you try it. Good service, delicous food and authentic Italian surroundings. To avoid disappointment it's advisable to book a table in advance.

Fantastic restaurant with an authentic Scicilian atmosphere.Lovely pizzas and very good value will definitely return.

How lucky is Penge having such a fantastic pizzeria in our neighbourhood? Everything here is authentic. The starters are not to be missed, and if there's a special on offer you have to go for it. We always have the owner choose our red wine and it's devine! The presentation of the food is awesome. My family and I come back here time after time.

Fabulous intimate restaurant, very authentic, we are Italian and we return here whenever we crave a pizza fix. When we have family over from Italy we have take outs and they ALWAYS say how authentic it tastes. Tasty simple delicious, pizza done proper. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We were hoping for wood-fired pizzas but instead got ones that were damp and cooked in an electric oven with chunks of tinned tomato instead of puree on top. So sad as the staff were really lovely and I wanted this to be a local gem we could return to. Also had very pricey and underwhelming calamari.

Small cozy authentic Sicilian pizza restaurant. Attentive staff . Starters fresh and delicious and to follow a large pizza and many to choose from . Kid friendly and best to make a reservation. Bottled beer very nice . All at a very reasonable price . Good for birthday celebrations

really authentic feel with very helpful friendly service. We went for my son's Birthday on a Thursday evening and the place was buzzing. Do book or you may be disappointed.

Delicious, generous starters, authentic ingredients for all courses and drinks. Friendly family run restaurant. Suitable for a casual supper and a celebration. Pizzas are great and sumptuous, combinations of pizzas catering for vegan, vegetarian, fish and meat eaters. Wine enjoyable and moreish.

I've eaten here a handful of times because I live locally. Atmosphere is lovely and I always feel like I'm on holiday. The portions are amazing for the price and the food is proper Italian and tastes fresh as anything!

This little independent restaurant needs as much exposure as it deserves. Tucked away in a parade of shops that you would not even consider going to for such an experience. As soon as you walk through the door you are transported to a holiday vibe and buzz of Sicily not the outside world that Penge may offer.

Wow! The guys in this family run restaurant make great food and great company. We popped in for a quick bite after a day's building work and shared two main meals. No room for pudding! The next day we went for a starter and pudding.

Ok so make sure you book a table in the evening- lunchtime should be fine.

I have dined hear several times. Excellent Pizza, Sicilian beer and friendly service. Best pizza outside of Sicilly.

Awful service waited 25 mins to order drinks even then we had to call out..... excuse was ' sorry I'm on my own' sorry if you can't cater for members of the public then you shouldn't sit them down.....walked out as would rather give my money elsewhere

Have eaten here twice now and the overall feeling is of disappointment.

What a wonderful place! The first thing I would like to say is that the people in here are very genuine in their work and about the the food I can definitely say that its from another world! Hands down!

Tucked away in an unlikely spot where Beckenham meets Penge but what a discovery. Great decor, nice, unpretentious ambience, pizza amazing and a very good house red by the glass. And all very reasonably priced

Good Sicilian food, perfect pizza, The antipasti are tasty and large and good Sicilian wine. Family run, small and intimate. Don't expect a big place, it is cosy, we come here for the food, the menu is small and fesh. When we have family visiting from Italy, we often get takeaway pizza from here and they all say it is the best. Good tasty Sicilian home cooking.

Excellent pizza, authentic Italian flavour. Despite being fully booked they managed to squeeze us in and I’m glad they did. Thanks in particular to Caesar who made us feel at home in his restaurant!

Have walk past this place many times and it always smelt amazing so decided to pop in and oh boy it didn’t disappoint. Food was incredible, restaurant was charming and the staff very friendly. Little gem in penge.

My wife and I ordered a Bufaline al Forno and Bruschette al Pomodoro for starters and the Diavolessa pizza and a mixed salad to share , and everything was lovely . The starters tasted fresh and the pizza had a lovely crisp base with fresh toppings, the only slight criticism would be that I would have liked a few extra toppings . We also had a glass of wine each , so all in all it was a great meal , comfortable surrounding all for less than £35.

Peopel rave about this place but we don't know why. Chillies blow your mouth off, always boiling hot inside (I know that there's an oven - even so). Poorly laid out - especially if you're unlucky enough to sit near the door - it'll be banging into you most of the evening. Boozing waiter teh night we were in. Shame - it could be so good.

i happened to be in the area for a wedding and this was such a surprisingly happy find. the food is amazing: real authentic sicilian food. loved the arancini and grilled aubergine parcels. the pizzas were divine. and to top it all, the service is friendly, relaxed and the waiters are sexy! definitely recommended

Ærlig mad af enkle og gode råvarer, så smagen er autentisk. God service og imødekommenhed, kan især anbefale deres forretter bla portobello svampe, som er virkelig lækre.

This is a real hidden gem in the Penge area. Fantastic pizza made with fresh ingredients, incredibly generous portion sizes (The Stuffed Mushrooms starter could be a main in itself) and a good range of food on offer. Sicilian Art has it all. The dining experience is quite intimate and cosy, however this means the restaurant fills up quickly so I really recommend booking a table in advance. Incredible value for money. A must try.

We were looking for something to eat before getting our fish from the fishmonger & came across Sicilian Art. What a find!!! Place is fantastic. We shared the bruschetta and burrata for starters and a pizza after. Too much food for me but delicious all the same. Fresh ingredients, great service and cheap! I'm definitely going to become a regular. Can't wait to go again

Sublime sicilian cuisine, generous portion and best arancini ever! Highly recomented! Will be back soon! Well done!

My daughter and I ate here on my birthday and it was a really great evening washed down with a very reasonably priced bottle of presecco. The food was excellent and our waiter very attentive and good fun. We both had starters which we shared and then for main we had a pizza each which was delicious. The whole evening was excellent and great fun. We are definitely going back here again and I highly recommend you try it out.

We met at the Scicilian Art Pizzaria on Saturday for lunch. This is the first time we have been to this restaurant and the consensus was it was really good, the staff, the food etc really made our afternoon.

The food was amazing. As it in Sicily cuisine, it tastes differently from other Italian restaurants in London. I especially love cannoli and sicilian flavor pizza. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern. I absolutely love it. Will definitely go back again.

This restaurant is such a little gem. All the food is so delicious (we had Focaccia al Aglio to start and I had the Napoli pizza for my main) and the service is great - waiters are super friendly. It's all such good value and there's a really lovely authentic feel to the place. One teeny tiny complaint - it was a tad too hot in there, me and my other half were boiling. Apart from that it was perfect!

I've now eaten from here twice, once we dined in and once we ordered and collected. My partner has had...

We discovered this place quite recently and it's put every other pizza place to shame since. After being previous fans...

Really cosy Italian restaurant! Simple delicious food! Fresh and easy! Forget Zizzi and Ask Pizza come here! The food is...

Best by far in South East and for one of the best restaurant I've been in London! Ingredients, atmosphere and staff was all the way fabulous! Thank you !

Great authentic Sicilian local Italian. Lovely staff, very friendly. We had the antipasto to share between 3 and loved it,...

Visited this place following recommendations on a local forum. We were not disappointed. It feels like you're on holiday in...

We have been here multiple times each time better than the last. Good drinks, wonderful pizzas, with wonderful Sicilian ingredients....

asked for table for 2 at 9pm on a Saturday (place empty) waiter looked at his watch, shrugged his shoulders and said "ok". sat at a table some insect crawled up the wall which I killed with the handy breadsticks. food was actually ok drinks luke warm

Second visit to this restaurant, absolutely lovely, food is lovely, service is very good and lovely cost atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it family run business.

I think the title of my review tells you everything you need to know. The pizzas are wonderful and taste sublime. The starters, side salads and desserts are good too. Friendly laid back atmosphere.

Great pizza,great service. Really friendly guys that are passionate about what they do. Local? Go there you will not regret it.

Went for a sunday lunch. Had a starter each followed by a pizza each all washed down with a bottle of Grillo. The starters were well presented, very filling (large) and full of fresh flavours. Now to the pizza's. They were very good, probably the best we have had. The waiting staff gave us a typical Sicilian drink after our meal. Also forgot to mention that I had a Sicilian Messina beer and my wife had a large glass of Rosè prior to the meal. Well worth a visit. Good decor although quite small. I would recommend booking if you wish to go. Keep it up. Great place.

Really lovely little place, delicious pizza and great fresh ingredients. The daily special arancini sharing platter we had to start was especially tasty and beautifully presented. Very friendly staff and a pleasant ambience.If you don't know where it is though, check the address! TripAdvisor seems to show this place on the High Street in Beckenham, but it's actually on the High Street in Penge near to Kent House station. Got a glimpse of someone else's garlic bread as we were leaving.... it looked very tempting, so I think I'll be getting that next time!

Friendly local pizzeria (really Penge rather than Beckenham but easily accessible by bus.Really tasty big pizzas at very reasonable pizzas. Real star is the antipasti. A group of us from our Italian class at the college across the road have been there twice for end of term lunches - the first time we ordered the antipasti selection - we were seriously full by the end of it and just ordered coffee and mini-desserts. The second time, keen to try the pizzas, we asked for a smaller selection but still received two very generous platters between ten of us. Prosciutto, mortadella and other cold meats, cheese, salad, grilled veg, arancini and other delights. Three pizzas between us followed and plenty of reasonably priced red and white wine; we were a very happy class. Very good friendly service - the bill (with tip) worked out at £23 each. Highly recommended.

Nice decorations and great ambient. This place is very unique in Penge & Beckenham . We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. However pizzas were just ok. Olives had pits and didn't have much taste, salami had more fat than meat and my Diabola pizza (no. 17 on the menu) was not spicy. It had very little chilly if at all. Service was somewhat slow but I can wait in a such nice setting.
