    With the Apizza, FoxonPark BirchBeer is the one to drink. It’s the best combination.

    I find it depends on what day of the week you visit. Sometimes the crust is thin and Crispy, other times it's too doughy. The better bakers work on the busier days. Also, definitely sit inside to eat and don't do take out.

    Okay, first of all, Zupardi's is not in New Haven, but 15 minutes away in West Haven, and just celebrated its 90th "birthday" a couple of weeks ago. Sally's originally broke off of Pepe's decades ago. Unfortunately, I have found Pepe's to be somewhat overrated. Am literally moving to a new apartment about a 20 minute walk up State Street from Modern. They are wonderful. I agree with you about Zupardi's. Wish you had tried their sausage and hot cherry pepper pizza... burns going in AND, um, coming out... WHEEEEEE!!! 😅

    The New Haven style pizza you have to eat in at the place. Its too fragile to leave in box. There is a place in Astoria called Andrew Bellucis Pizza and their pizza has that New Haven style crust but it's marketed as an artisan NYC pizza.

    Grew up on Long Island and lived in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn for a few years.
    Had New Haven style a few years ago. Pepe’s And Modern were the 2 I tried. Both are an excellent representation of local pizza and have a different point of view from their cousins in New York I didn’t find them to be on a height level.
    For me, the clam pies make a trip to New Haven. Shout out to Modern for having a gluten free offering for my son. Glad I went but I’ll stick with New York. Ans since I live North Carolina near the DiFara in Cary I will always have something world class near me.

    • @NoahEats
      @NoahEats  Před 6 měsíci +1

      @rejectionistmanifesto8836 thanks for watching. I will say the oven definitely has a play with the bake. Zupardi’s uses a gas oven, Modern uses an oil oven and Sally’s uses the coal. Both Zupardi’s and Modern uses a lower temp and bakes slightly longer. Sally’s coal is hot, so a little faster. The crumb structure is similar for each pie in that they are thin and tight. It's the timing in the oven and the teacher that makes it look more uniform as in Zupardi’s and Modern

    Nice job! I haven't lived there for thirty years, but it is the pizza I grew up with it and that was the language we spoke. Two things, it is a Southern Italian language, not Northern. The Neapolitan language is where this term comes from, but you did get the contraction of the article correct. Also, it's kind of ah-beetz, but it is really a non-aspirated P, so it isn't a pure B sound. It's hard to explain, but almost like ahp-beetzé. Don't worry, most people in Connecticut actually get it wrong these days too.

      Thanks for watching and commenting. What I find interesting is that I've eaten inside before as well as other times outside, and overall very disappointed inside and out. However, I've gone to places where the box was still good or even better. So I will say for me the Pepe's has been inconsistent with quality and I've given them many chances. But that last pie was very disappointing.

      I've been going to modern for almost twenty years it's my favorite of the three. But it's pretty Apparent that they don't use similina on the bottom of the pizza. It's part of what I think. Sets them apart from the other places and any other pizza. I've had because they used plain Bread crumbs which gives it nice texture. I've actually modeled my home pizza making off of modern pizza and have got pretty close.

To this Day - I prefer Modern over the rest but this is talking a Mozz pie - meaning dough, Cheese, sauce. If we're getting into other things like clam pies, etc. I don't have enough knowledge as I judge all these places by their Mozz pies, since they are the basic foundation.

    You placed the order online, then they cooked it and let it sit there for a half hour, or longer, until you came and got it, then it was old and bad and it sucked. I would never go to that place again the rest of my life. They should have waited until you got there to put it in the oven, so it was fresh when you got it. They are basically saying to you, screw you online order man, we do not care about you, or care if you get a fresh pizza.
    And btw, I am in East Peoria Illinois, about a 3 hour drive from Chicago, who has the best deep dish pizza in America. And nobody around here calls a pizza ahbeetz, never not one time in my life, and I am 64 years old. We call it pizza, because that is what it is, it's a pizza, only the pizza snobs call it ah-beetz, so get outta here with your call it ah-beetz stuff, it's a pizza bro.
    My favorite pizza is from a place called FireHouse, it is a thin crust meat lovers pizza and it is amazing, the best pizza I ever had, and it is only a 10 minute drive from me, so I go there all the time. You can sit at the bar and eat it, or the restaurant side, or eat it while you play the video poker machines, it is the best. I am addicted to it, and I have to have one at least once a week. Sometimes I even get one to go, take it home and freeze it in ziplock bags, and re-heat it in the air fryer when I want pizza.
    P.S. A plain pizza with just dough, sauce, and cheese is not a pizza, if it does not have meat on it, it's not a pizza in my book, and I would not eat it. Nobody else around here would either.
    A local barnear me called Crusen's just had free pizza for the College Football Championship game Monday night, so they brought out a sausage and cheese pizza, and everyone got a slice, then they brought out a plain cheese pizza, and it just sat there, nobody even touched it.
    Then they brought out another sausage and cheese pizza and everyone got a slice, and they took the plain cheese pizza back to the kitchen because nobody would eat it. The rest of the night they only brought out sausage and cheese pizza, because nobody would even touch the plain cheese pizza.

    This is a bogus pizza review, because it is not a pizza without meat on it. You are just eating crust, sauce, and cheese, I would not eat any of them without meat on it. Everyone around here gets the meat lovers pizza with 5 different meats on it, including bacon. At the minimum a pizza must have sausage and pepperoni on it, and bacon if they have it. Nobody I know eats a pizza with no meat on it, that is just dumb.
    And no wonder it only cost $13, it's $2.00 worth of crust, sauce, and cheese, so it better be cheap. The 12 inch thin crust meat lovers near me at Firehouse is $19.00, because it had 5 meats on it, including 2 kinds of bacon, Canadian bacon and regular bacon, which is why it cost $19.00, because it is a real pizza. Not even the kids would eat a plain cheese pizza around here, they would feed it to the dog.
    And one last thing, I am not waiting in line for an hour to get a pizza, I will go somewhere else, order it to go, get it delivered, or go back when it is not so busy.
