"Sure you can find a good clam pie at any of New Haven’s famous pizzerias, but Modern’s more opulent clam pizza is inspired by the famous appetizer clams casino. It features minced bivalves on a charred, coal-oven crust, with red peppers and bacon: a winning combination of smoke and brine if ever there were one. The place was founded in 1934, so maybe it’s not so modern after all." - Robert Sietsema
