About Sally's Apizza

Sally's Apizza is a popular spot for authentic New Haven-style pizza. The pizzas are seriously delicious, with a perfect combination of flavors and crust. Visitors often wait in line, but many agree it’s worth it. Take-out is also available, though there may be a wait for orders, especially since the restaurant has old ovens that don’t always work well. The owner's staff sometimes gives away free meals to make up for long waits, and customers appreciate their efforts. The place is old and has not been recently updated, which adds to its charm.

The menu features two popular pizzas. One is the plain with sausage and mushroom, which is very good, and the other is a clam pizza with heavy garlic, also well-liked. The crust is more like a Neapolitan crust but not as fluffy. It’s crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with a little char on the bottom. While the wait can be long—sometimes over an hour after seating—many feel the pizza makes up for it. Some customers prefer Sally’s over Pepe’s despite the wait, and many say the pizza is the best in New Haven, New England, or even the United States. Overall, Sally’s Apizza is a standout in the city’s pizza scene and well worth visiting.
