The 19 Best Pizza Places In America 2024
"NEW HAVEN They did it first, and they’re still doing it the best. Founded in 1925, this Wooster Street spot consistently creates pies that are the golden standard of a New Haven apizza: a crust that’s thin, chewy, and doesn’t flop when you hold up a slice; an extremely charred (but never burnt) bottom that adds a subtle smokiness; and just a teensy sprinkling of pecorino romano. Pepe’s invented the slightly sweet original tomato pie and the salty, garlicky white clam pie, and all it takes is a bite of either to understand why there’s always a line down the block. Simplicity is what makes their apizza so good, and everyone else in New Haven is just trying to match their quality." - team infatuation
