The Best Pizza In New Haven, Connecticut 2024
"If you ask people who live in New Haven what their go-to apizza spot is, they’ll most likely tell you Modern—it’s removed from the tourist-packed lines of Wooster Street, and their staff is definitely the most welcoming of the bunch. While the crust on their pies do have the appropriate amount of char and chew, they come loaded with sauce and toppings, which weighs them down more than other spots in town. It’s definitely worth a stop on your New Haven pizza crawl—just stick to a plain pie with only mozzarella as your topping. However, Modern gets bonus points for its huge old-school dining room—they even have a menu on the wall displaying their original 1930s prices—as well as the family-run atmosphere. When you go, you might be served by the current owner’s granddaughter, who eats Modern apizza every day (except on Mondays, when they’re closed). " - ciera velarde, holland white
