Hi Albert,

I just wanted to give you a tip as a fellow New Haven apizza addict.
Although visitors to New Haven - Yalies included, as they are just
visitors who don't leave for four years - travel to wooster street for
pizza, on your next trip to New Haven let me suggest you try two other
apizza parlors frequented by us locals.

Modern Pizza on state street is where many native New Haven denizens go
for a pie. It is my personal favorite place, with my favorite pie being
an eggplant, onion, black olive, and garlic pie with white sauce.
Although the level of perfection depends on that days eggplants, it
consistently performs. Make sure to order some of the foxon park soda to
go with the pie (I personally love the white birch)

secondly I suggest trying Bar. While also being a bar/nightclub, Bar
serves awesome pizzas out of unassuming plain gray boxes both during the
day and at night. In addition they have some great micro brews to go
with the pie.

now to be fair, both pepe's and sally's have some great pizza's (my first solid food in life was a clam from a sally's clam pizza).

But if you want to skip the hour wait time, and try some of the other
incredible apizza options New Haven has, I must highly suggest Modern
and Bar.

good luck, and happy pizza eating!
Sam

My response:

well here are a few i grew up on i went to high school and lived in new haven for several years infact lots of my friends worked or were related to some of the great pizza spots in new haven anyway i have been gone from there for 20 yrs but the places should be as good as they were from what i hear.
1, Ernie`s Pizzeria its in the westville section of New Haven
1279 Whalley Avenue ( about 10 min from Pepes if you know the roads)

they had a fantastic sauce (no cans used here) only fresh tomatoes and a crispy crust like sallys or pepes but the sauce truly rocks yum !

When I lived in CT, Modern Pizza was my top choice. The drinks were normal size and the service was friendly, as opposed to the surly service and tiny drinks at Pepe's.

New Havenites:

- I was born in New Haven (St. Raphaels), so I'm for real, had pizza from Hong Kong to Scotland to Naples. Maybe it ain't the pie after all, but the Foxon Park soda, lets give a little respect to the family from East Haven, Connecticut that makes it all come together, any one care for a Gassosa.
