The Best Pizza In New Haven, Connecticut 2024
"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. The crust is thin, chewy, and doesn’t flop when you hold up a slice. The extremely charred (but never burnt) bottom adds a subtle smokiness, and there’s 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." - ciera velarde, holland white
