"Technically in West Haven, Zuppardi’s feels like the most “neighborhood” apizza joint in town, with wood paneling, black metal chairs, and the slight sheen of oil on every surface. Every pie, especially The Special (a red pie topped with mozzarella, mushrooms, and homemade fennel sausage), is so loaded that it’s hard to enjoy the crust underneath. They come out piping hot—so hot that everything slides off when you grab a slice—so practice some patience for optimal enjoyment. These pies lean more toward New York-style pizza, likely due to the generous amount of mozzarella and the fact that they use traditional deck ovens as opposed to coal-fired ovens. However, they taste better as leftovers, so make sure you ask for a box if you accidentally filled up on Foxon Park white birch soda. " - ciera velarde, holland white
