How to make New Haven Style Pizza or a'pizza (ah-beetz) as they call it on Wooster Street!

This is an oldie but a goodie! First video I ever made. It's not Hollywood quality but has amazing content for anyone who wants to make a classic New Haven Style Pizza at home or in the WFO, Ooni, etc.
This video is all about making New Haven Style a'pizza (ah-beetz) from taking the dough out of the container, to launching it in the wood fired oven to slicing and eating it!
In addition to this video we have three other videos on our channel showing you how to make the dough, make the pizza in a home oven and making the sauce.
We also have a FB Group called All About New Haven Style A'pizza [ah-beetz] here: / 525423021487441
This group talks exclusively about New Haven Style Apizza...making it, your favorite, opinions, etc.

Gotta love a “how to make” video with no dough recipe lol

[@TurrettiniPizza]

There’s a detailed dough recipe on the channel

[@funinlv32]

Beautiful !

[@ChefChrisDay]

Wow what an awesome rig!

[@edgarc98]

That looks sooooo good!

[@PizzaGavones]

Thank you...

[@piyushkamal523]

Excellent Ahbeetz, and that knuckle stretch is incredible with high hydration dough.

[@PizzaGavones]

Thank you.

[@FOREST-777]

Looking GOOD!

[@readmelancholystrumpetmaster]

I had Pepe's and Modern's in New Haven and could not believe it. Firm thin crust, ample sauce but not 'saucy,' light cheese, and incredible flavor.

[@joshuawilliams6866]

Thanks we at Pepe’s try our best!

[@TooleyPeter]

Damn, that looks AMAZING.

[@enzomariano7678]

Love your channel.

[@Gaby-tf3fw]

One bite “Everybody knows the rules” looks like a 7.5

[@kot1pelto]

agree, not enough crunch and too greasy.

[@tjdalyjr1]

You are my hero! Would put this comment on all your videos. Grew up in No. Haven and moved to Jersey, this Jersey pizza is not bad, but far from good. Bought a pizza oven gonna make my own. Thank you.

[@PizzaGavones]

Hope you enjoy

[@deankaprolet3994]

Looks great, I've been finding that, when at home making pizzas, putting the sauce on top of cheese helps its all come together nicely. And I've had less issues sliding pizza into oven

[@enzomariano7678]

Looks good

[@bigchig01]

Looks like the bomb

[@JunixKuizon]

Thats a good looking pie

[@ditherdather]

That looks incredibly delicious! I love that you let your inner toddler cut the pizza into trapezoids and parallelograms and isosceles triangles and all that. Perfect symmetry might detract from the fantastic colors and flavor.

[@Sox348]

Interesting cutting...

[@JohnMikoAvgou]

Amazing

[@PizzaGavones]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@matthewchristiansen8630]

Great how to videos...needed some of that great A'Pizza down here in Charlotte, NC!

[@PizzaGavones]

Thanks for watching!

[@ramencurry6672]

All the ingredients should be available outside of New Haven.

[@Silverpinstudios]

The nice thing about having a oven that size as you’ve got plenty of room to move the pizza around so it doesn’t burn. I have a smaller wood oven and I can only fit about 1, 14inch pie in it. I have to be very careful not to burn it when cooking New York style or New Haven style

[@shredorama]

You cut that pizza like a psycho.

[@anonimis06]

that's how new haven pizzas are cut

[@fernandorichardson4479]

I trusted him up until that point. What is that?

[@TimboStang71]

​@fernandorichardson4479 that's how new haven cuts their pizza, more smaller non traditional slices

[@TRBL007]

Terrific! I got ideas on how to stretch the dough. I needed more flour when stretching it out and more semolina on the peel. I also like the idea of going from flour bath to peel.

[@PizzaGavones]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tealight2074]

Wow! 😍

[@bcask61]

I made my first apizza today and it was fabulous. Your videos were a huge( or “yuge”) inspiration to me in my new hobby. I have done Detroit style, New York style, Trenton style tomato pie, Neapolitan, you name it. But the New Haven apizza might be my favorite. A road trip is in my future, but for now the Gavones will have to do. Thanks man!

[@PizzaGavones]

Great job!

[@ActionGolfers]

dang looks great! what makes it distinctly new haven though?

[@cataevo444]

Dough recipe, would love to try it

[@michaeltorres3231]

Love your channel told all my friends. What brand Pecorino Romano do you use? Thanks for my question...

[@Slaymaker_90]

What hydration are you using for your dough? Looks amazing!!

[@rhodeislandpizzafans9948]

Oh yes!

[@PizzaGavones]

Thank you RIPF

[@jayellis2939]

Any tips on using an electric stove. Are there any commercial inserts one can use?

[@dratstilldo6965]

do you use low moisture whole milk mozzarella and how thin slice is it would you say?

[@itstime2465]

Save my a few slices I'm on my way !

[@poppysplace6572]

Nice!! Thanx for sharing!!

[@crkid489]

When you say you don’t gotta go to New Haven you can go to Millbury, do you mean Millbury Ma? If so Im right nearby and would pay for this pizza!! Looks awesome

[@gino423]

You deliver to Jersey ?....Killer pie

[@michaelolson571]

What type of oil do you use?

[@carey8498]

Can I come over and have a slice or two?

[@itstime2465]

I use King Auther bread flour the blue and white bag . In your opinion is that a good flour to use or should I be using something else ? Thanks.

[@PizzaGavones]

I only recommend the KABF because it's a retail flour...General Mills Full Strength is a great commercial flour but usually only in 50 lb. bags...

[@SmoothBassVO]

Any printable versions of Frank's recipes?

[@thenicotennis]

What kind of flour do you use? Is it primarily bread? Or combo with 00? And is your sauce cooked? Or is it raw tomato with some seasoning like a nap sauce?

[@PizzaGavones]

If you go to our KZbin Channel Pizza Gavones...all your answers are there....the dough recipe is there as is how to make it in your home oven on a steel plate/pizza stone and the sauce recipe...it's a three part series..

Hi, great pizza! I have been trying making pizza for thr first time on a gas pizza oven. For some reason my cheese burned before my dough cooks. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharin

[@jacobsnellenberger860]

I'm not who you wanted advice from, but try letting the stone get very hot, then turning down the flames

[@zackhogan3878]

It's back on the internet!! Remember seeing this a year ago

Is that just plain olive oil? Or a blend of something?

Oven temperature?

[@brodygoalie]

So if you only have an oven. Still bake at 575 degrees?? How about gas grill outside? Regards

550-575, is the key for the plate soak for an hour...we have a separate video for gas grill pizza on our channel...

you cut that pizza like you have human body parts in your deep freeze

[@jeffreycoy]

That looks incredible but I was under the impression apizza can only be called apizza if cooked with coal fire. 🤔

[@PizzaGavones]

no sir...99% of apizza baked in CT in 2021 is NOT sourced by coal...of the 100's of pizzerias in CT only a handful use coal...there are many misunderstandings and over time we are looking to set the record straight...coal was only used in the 30's, 40's & 50's because it was cheap...once the deck ovens came out in the 50's coal became extinct...now, that is not to save coal is not great to bake an apizza in but it is far from the norm...join our FB group for more details on apizza...All About New Haven Style A'pizza

Can you make the dough in advance and freeze it? If so, how long will the dough last in the freezer? Thx!

[@PizzaGavones]

yes you can, I think you can keep the dough frozen for a while, how long not 100% sure...weeks to a couple of months...there will never be anything better than fresh dough...a couple weeks would be OK too

[@ramencurry6672]

According to the internet, 3 months in the freezer.

That's not charcoal though

[@PizzaGavones]

99% of apizza is baked in a deck oven in 2021 or a brick oven with wood or gas. Modern uses gas, Sally's & Pepe's used coal along with Fuoco in Cheshire and Coal and Daises in Branford...everyone else uses a deck oven...ALL apizza regardless of fuel sources gets baked at 600-650...

You must have never had apizza from New Haven then 😆 his cut was dead on.

@@truckpilot01 amen, brother...you either get it or you don't...

[@jkimnach8701]

Good but need coal for the char taste to be authentic

[@PizzaGavones]

you know that 99% of all NH Apizza is made in a deck oven right? There are roughly 6 pizzeria's in CT that are 100% coal...I get were you are coming from but char is not only from a coal oven...the coal is just a heat source like wood, gas, oil, etc.
