"Screamin' Sicilian has been adding personality to the frozen pizza aisle since 2013. But really, the brand's story runs much deeper than that. Before it turned into the overtopped, over-the-top craft pizza brand it is today, it was known as Palermo's. And before it was ever a product, it was a restaurant opened by Sicilian immigrant Gaspare "Papa Palermo" Fallucca. The company also claims to have invented rising crust frozen pizza -I guess they'll have to fight with DiGiorno and its frozen pizzas over that one."
"The Screamin' Sicilian brand is recognizable thanks to the giant mouth and mustache on its packaging. The boxes even offer mustache cutouts, so that you can wear and get into character before you dig in. There's a different 'stache for every pizza style, which includes everything from original and stuffed-crust to tavern-style and thin and crispy. To find out which styles and flavors are truly worth talking, or screaming, about, I recently picked up eight different options from the brand to give them a taste."
Screamin' Sicilian traces its roots to Palermo's and a restaurant started by Sicilian immigrant Gaspare "Papa Palermo" Fallucca and claims invention of rising-crust frozen pizza. The brand uses bold packaging featuring a giant mouth and mustache with cutouts to reinforce playful character for each pizza style. The product lineup includes original, stuffed-crust, tavern-style, and thin-and-crispy options across many flavor combinations. Eight different pizzas covering cheese, pepperoni, all-meat, and supreme varieties were compared using consistent criteria: textured crust, flavorful sauce, ample cheese, and plentiful fresh toppings. The thin-and-crispy pepperoni and sausage highlighted how crust style affects overall impression.
