"Before it expanded into a pizzeria in the ‘90s, Bar was just an actual bar and a dance club. But this “newcomer” on the New Haven apizza scene has grown in credibility and popularity over the years for their pies, which come out larger and more oblong than Wooster Street apizzas and are served on tableside trays. Unlike the other spots, Bar slices their pies into long, thin pieces, making them a little floppier than we’d prefer. But their red pie with mozzarella holds up against the New Haven legends, the mashed potato and bacon pie is a fan favorite (though we personally find it to be a little too loaded), and their more inventive “staff favorite” pies, like Mexican Street Corn, are unlike anything else you’ll find in New Haven. Plus, this spot is massive—if you have a big group of apizza enthusiasts, this is where you should go." - ciera velarde, holland white
