I had this pizza a few days before Pres went. I talked to the chef. They do a 2 day cold ferment for dough and cook it in an oven at 750F. It’s crispy and chewy, bright red sauce, great amount of sauce to cheese. Highly recommend it. It’s my second favorite pie in Connecticut, second only to Sally’s

[@Balla4lyfe4421]

Had it last week and thought it wasn't that great. Way to chewy. To each there own

[@jaykay6387]

I agree, I think he "punished" them because it didn't fit his definition of what "Apizza" is. That pie looked way better than a 7.6, definitely 7.8 or 7.9 territory no problem. It definitely has the apizza "DNA" based upon the appearance, I think if it was a bit "crunchier" and had the "black" on the bottom they could have eked out an 8.1.

Excellent review Scott.

[@mlaudisa]

The origin of the name "A pizza" is how Neapolitans / southern Italians call "La pizza" (they drop the "L"), meaning "the pizza". It isn't a specifica pizza style, it's how some old pizza makers from Italy called it there and used it as part of their store name, and it stuck. Never tire of your videos.

[@user-wf5sh9ih3x]

Bro, if you want to give a language lesson that's one thing, but where are you from? I'm from New Haven. Apizza IS a style and if you had a clue you would know that. Kick rocks. Everyone knows the rules. LMAO. Try giving that explanation on Wooster Street and see what kind of response you get. You're funny.

Nobody: Dave: “Where are we?”

[@CoalFired]

My father from Italy used the term “Apizza” he’s never been to New Haven Connecticut ! Apizza is a dialect of Southern Italian that means "the pizza". It's pronounced "ah-beetz" and comes from the Italian phrase la'pizza (the pizza). In spoken dialect, the "L" is often skipped or eaten, so the word for pizza is Pizza, not Apizza. In dialect, the word would be written " 'a pizza ", and the apostrophe would mean the "L" that is not pronounced. Neapolitans also tend to stay on the "a" for some time when they pronounce these words, so it could also be written in a more phonetic form, “ 'aa pizza

Go to OCEAN PIZZA in New London. Also, VALENTINO'S in Ledyard. Ocean Pizza is Greek style that will bring tears to your eyes. Valentino's is a NY style Napolitano that will make you feel like you're back in NYC. You're welcome.

[@mikegee4922]

Nobody thanked you.

[@jrs4ex]

Being in CT I had to look these spots up. I do have an appreciation for Greek style when done right. Ocean pizza looks pretty good but I was really hoping to see an authentic gyro on the menu not that frozen pre formed meat. That’s one way I judge the Greeks beyond the pizza. They got the thick cut steak fries though I’ll give them that.

[@MattyK-USA]

@@jrs4ex Ocean has been there for many generations. I do think that they cater to the local demographic, which is very Italian. Maybe it's a good sign that they are still so popular after all these years!

[@MattyK-USA]

@@mikegee4922 Good observation! I bet you're really good at this

[@jrs4ex]

@@MattyK-USA Good to know, appreciate the heads up it looks excellent and they’ve got great Google reviews. It’s very rare to find places in this state that have the true fresh sliced gyro meat that’s all. I’m definitely gonna add it to the list for pizza and Italian fare. I’m just sour I’ve gotta drive 1hr for a gyro lol 😂

[@darrenshebell3563]

Glad you liked the pizza. It's a little better than Mystic pizza. I had Angie's pizza in Mystic, CT Off of Dennison and Rosevelt (intersection of 27 and 1) some years back (5? 10?). I thought it was the best in the area. Angie's and the Plum Tomato in East Lyme (might have changed names and owners from "Yummy Yummy" pizza?). It's near the intersection of rte 1 and 181 heading 200 feet? north at the intersection. Those 2 use to be the best pizza spots in the area, I thought. Had rooms comped at Foxwoods during the winter. Went to all the pizza places in the area. These are the ones I remember. Happy pizza hunting! (Nothing like local breakfast potatoes in the diners / breakfast restaurants in the area too. "The Shack" south of 1 and 181.))

[@darrenshebell3563]

Oh yeah! The plum Tomato (AKA Yummy Yummy?) Was really interesting in that it tasted different during it's different cool stages. It actually tasted better just above warm than it did hot! Never had a pizza change like that before. pizza would always just get worst the cooler it got from very warm to cold...
