Modern Apizza - Review - Mill River - New Haven - The Infatuation

"Modern Apizza is a classic apizza spot in New Haven that’s easier to get a table at than Frank Pepe’s or Sally’s. The pies are loaded with sauce and toppings, and their crust has that classic New Haven-style chewiness and char. Come with a large group, settle into one of the leather-cushioned wooden booths, and admire the spacious dining room that looks like it hasn’t been remodeled since they opened in 1934—they even have a menu on the wall displaying their original prices. Food Rundown Plain Pie With Mozzarella A super solid rendition of the classic New Haven apizza, with just the right amount of char around the edges and on the bottom. They include a generous amount of cheese, and it’s sliced up into super skinny pieces, making it perfect for sharing. It’s basically a requirement to have one of these on your table—order the large if you’re with a big group. photo credit: Lisa Nichols Veggie Bomb Covered with so many toppings—spinach, broccoli, olive, mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers—that you can barely see the cheese and sauce underneath. It’s a much heavier slice, and the thin crust doesn’t hold all that heft very well. You’re better off adding one or two of our favorite toppings to a plain pie. photo credit: Lisa Nichols" - Ciera Velarde
