We were fortunate enough to stumble into the grand opening weekend of Ozzy's Apizza Sunday night. We'd traveled from Vermont earlier in the day and were weighing our New Haven dining options--friends and family had weighed in with their favorite apizza joints in the area, but Ozzy's caught our eye mainly since we, like owner Chris Wallace, have a pup by the same name (yes, we laughed, we also call him "Ozzy Pawsborn" in homage to Black Sabbath... but I digress).
Admittedly, this was our first New Haven apizza experience, so we ordered both a cheese and a Mikey Rabbit to compare and contrast two different pies. The crew at the counter were so genial and friendly and guided us toward the second pie (which had been the one I was eyeing anyway), saying they'd all eaten it earlier for dinner themselves.
We headed over to the East Rock Brewery with our dinner and were blown away with both pies, but especially the Mikey Rabbit--the ricotta cream provided a rich, buttery base, the sausage was perfection, and the spinach was to die for. Chris came over and checked on us; he *may* have referred to the pie as their "secret weapon" and I completely agree. We joked that our dog Ozzy always loves to get our pizza crusts, but there was no way we would have shared these with him--it was too damn good.
It was a memorable evening out, and I wish we didn't live so far away! So glad fate led us to Ozzy's Apizza--through a harrowing thunder storm, I might add--and we wish them much success in their new venture.
