Restaurants
For those looking for dining ideas Monday or Thursday nights. New Haven has a good restaurant scene. New Haven-style pizza, locally known as apizza (/əˈbiːts/, from Neapolitan ’a pizza (IPA: ) “the pizza”), is a style of Neapolitan pizza common in and around New Haven, Connecticut. Most recognized names include:
- Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana (aka Pepe’s) - The white clam pizza is routinely the top pizza in America
- Modern Apizza - The Italian Bomb is routinely a top five in America
- Sally’s Apizza - The tomato pie is a top ten in America
- BAR - Many locals rank their mashed potato and bacon pie amongst Pepe’s or Modern.
