People argue which of the three titans is the best, but honestly you CANNOT go wrong with any of them. New Haven pizza is FIRE

[@knice2k7tv24]

I'm from New Haven and my favorite out of all Three restaurants is Modern Apizza

[@rileyrileyriley100]

Born,. And lived in New Haven for 20yrs...Modern Apizza is the best spot of the three. Olde World Apizza in North Haven is a sleeper too

[@underated17]

@@rileyrileyriley100 I've never heard sleeper used in that way? What does that mean? That it is good?

Glad my city did you proud and was hospitable! If anything, we do have that good pizza. Hopefully you all will venture back up north again and try some of the other goodies we have within the city. Deep fried seafood being one of them. It’s so ironic though, I love traveling to Philly for the food scene (and to see my fam). You all definitely have a variety for the foodies (plant-based to that sub/hoagie following)!

7:34 I love that he mentioned "all dog goes to heaven"🤣 90s cartoon pizzas are the reason I love Pizza, even before I eat any pizza 🤣...

[@js7851]

I grew up in a borough of NYC and the pizza was always good in the day. When in NY try Joe’s on Carmine. Now New Haven pizza can be great. I’ve eaten at all three of the places you visited. My rankings, 3rd place is Pepe’s as I find if the least consistent, I’ve only eaten there 1 time when I thought it was great, and it was that day. 2nd place is Sally’s, also somewhat inconsistent but when good it is great. 1st place for me is Modern, it has been great every time I’ve gone, and I will be there again in a few days. It is a 1 1/2 hour drive for me so always planned. Glad you enjoyed.

[@chaybyrd77]

Good to know Frank Pepe’s is inconsistent. Drove 2 hours to try it and didn’t think it was worth it at all. Love Joe’s in NYC.

[@js7851]

@@chaybyrd77 they can all be inconsistent, Modern was also when I went there 2 weeks ago. The waiter ignored my request to tell them I wanted it crispy. Long drive to be disappointed.

Great video man! I’m from CT and went to college in New Haven. I consider myself a pizza guy and I eat at any of those top 3 spots whenever I’m back in that area. The absolute best! But there are a few others worth mentioning. Here’s my official pizza restaurant list 1. Pepe’s 2. Modern 3. Sally’s 4. Abate’s 5. Next Door 6. Bar. I still haven’t been to Zuppardi’s but I hear that’s really good too. Oh, and check out the documentary “Pizza, A Love Story”…it’s all about the history of the big 3 in New Haven. Very well done.

[@ms.keyshawineglass7590]

The flavor of my home state's pizza hit J.L.'s soul. You could see it from his first bite. We don't play with the quality of our ingredients. Has to be the best!

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Of the three, I like Modern the best, but they're all good.

[@6783446061]

Born and raised in CT, but live in GA since 1979. Thanksgiving 2021 family reunion brought us all to the New Haven apizza tour. My son-in-law can't eat cheese, so Zuppardi's in West Haven was a huge hit (local clam pies served with lemon). Sally's and Frank Pepe's clam pies have cheese.

[@moonvisionmedia]

Zuppardis is #2 on my list of the four. Modern, Zuppardis, Sallys, Pepes.

[@shernigz]

You can ask them not to put it on lol

[@Jasonvg]

Worked at Modern for 2 years... good ole times 😥

[@AaronMC]

The crunch on some of those thin crust pies are next level. Look so easy to eat in massive quantities!

[@JoeOtocka]

In NH dialect, it's pronounced ah-beetz. Glad you and the guys enjoyed your visit.

[@TS-ll4hd]

Yass I love a thin crust, tomatoey, cheesy, greasy pizza. Reminds me of home, Jersey. I can’t find that in GA. Their crust is too thick and the pizza is dry.

[@bartschwartz9233]

I lived in GA in early 80’S- there was a place that used a sausage sheet - sausage in every bite- can’t recall the name but was good pizza

[@MrRandyv]

It is such a culinary and apizza blessing, to live in the New Haven Ct. area.😋🥰

[@lawrencekrieger4]

My favorite is Sally's, but they are all exceptional. You need to come back and add a couple places. Bar is sometimes considered the fourth in the New Haven appiza lists. Zuppardi's in West Haven has an atmosphere that you would love. The clams there are huge. Also, from what I've seen of Modern, the pizza you should try is the clams casino pie. It had a bit too much moisture when I ordered it, but have a college friend who has been getting it since he was a child.

[@Saltyoven]

I grew up just outside new haven in Hamden ct. It isn't even that the good pizza is an outlier. Good pizza is EVERYWHERE. One of my favorites was this tiny Italian grocery store called "Sapori D'Italia. It was just a 15 minute walk from my house, and they absolutely nail it.

[@whitespeed6921]

Sally's and Pepe's are a mile from my house, best apizza hand's, having grown up on NY Pizza.

[@lcurry3836]

There is no pizza better than the white clam pie from Pepe’s. #1 Pepe, #2 Modern, #3 Sally’s

[@Powerule23]

[@michaelderamo1866]

You won't get anything less than a spectacular pizza at any of the Big 3 in New Haven or at any of the many other underrated joints in that city or surrounding areas either. Some are better than others sure, but not a bad pie to be had. Pizza Paradise really! Glad u guys enjoyed it because if you love pizza and don't like those shops then you are just being picky and were looking for some reason not to IMHO Sally's always been my fav of the 3 though and that's not taking anything away from the other 2 it's just that Sally's sits atop the mountain that's all. Nothing quite like it. Going to New Haven for those pizzas is the equivalent of going to Philly for the cheesesteaks at their famous spots. Same idea...different food group Lolol

[@mistersmegma]

Dope video JL. Those pizzas look 🔥 not every place can nail down the crust. Love seeing aquaman and the whole crew eat together. Love from the west coast

Loved your video on New Haven pizza which ironically I was just there. The pizza you called at Frank Pepe's Margherita was actually their original tomato pie. Margherita pizza has fresh mozzarella on it and what you were eating did not. I love all three places. You can't go wrong with any of them.

[@indiamoye2204]

New Haven born, raised, and currently living. Zuppardi's should be your next stop the next time you're around for a visit! It's technically West Haven but we claim it as one of ours haha. Also, a lot of people are gonna tell you to go to Bar. Please don't. It's easily the most overrated and gets way too much clout. Glad you enjoyed my city, friend!

I regularly visit buffets in different cities around the states. Before I go to a buffet, I will place 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. After entering the buffet, I sneak the corndogs into some of the fried food section trays. It is such a joy for me to see other customers of the buffet eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

I wish you could still build the brick coal fired ovens like that. You cannot replicate the pizza it produces.

[@Antonio-Mlb]

Sally's is the best pizza in New Haven period.

[@user-lv6nx6pq9v]

REAL NEW HAVEN OPINION: I’ve eaten every single one of these places at least 50-100 times each in my life. The most accurate rating is something like this: 1.sallys 2.Zupps(technically west haven) 3. Modern 4. Pepe’s(very inconsistent, locals tend to favor other places) 5. bar

[@garajplaz3513]

I grew up in new haven county I am watching this for nostalgia. I tried to get my local pizzeria to make a tomato pie,but no olive oil just 2 days ago

[@joeystreets3606]

Great pizza tour and analysis you guys definitely picked the top spots in New Haven. It looked like Mizz The Grizz was holding back a bit. He normally devours food.

[@rckrckrckrck]

Next time try some of the underdogs: Next Door, Nolo/Da Legna, Frisco’s, Grand. Or outside New Haven, Zuppardi’s is another legend, and Roseland. Also Mike’s in West Haven is awesome too.

[@jackiehedges320]

Zuppardis might be my fave

[@erinmcguire1466]

I grew up in a house torn on whether Sally's or Pepe's was best. But right now, my go to pie is the sausage and onion pie from Modern. It's perfection.

[@js7851]

Modern cheese for me.

[@HellaChluy]

All of em stupendous 🔥🔥🔥🍕🍕🍕

[@jasonbarney5587]

Awesome video. That crunch when you bite into that rosemary potato at Sally's. Damn. I'm on my way to New Haven right now and cant wait for this!

[@tommyflavio]

I've been going to these restaurants for decades and never thought to try the potato pie at Sally's, and that's my favorite of the bunch. Definitely on the docket next time!

[@adamaiello9840]

"This is better than Star Tavern..." Yesss, and I live in West Orange. Don't get me wrong, Star is very solid...love their food. I just feel like they are trying to be a New England bar pie spot in New Jersey...and it can't beat an actual New England pie from New Haven. Right on JL! Great content as always!

[@Staxaveli]

New haven ct , we got the best pizza in the world

[@adammcclain3633]

Sally’s, Modern, and Pepe’s in that order for me. Next time you’re in New Haven, try Ernie’s in Westville. They’re in that tier with the three you went to as the best New Haven has to offer.

[@allabored4443]

Awww Prime can eat something today

[@terriefields7177]

New heaven Connecticut 🙏🏽❤️🎉

[@cjaquilino]

@10:10 There's grated pecorino romano on the Tomato Pie. Plus there's olive oil, fine sea salt, and oregano in the crushed tomatoes. So simple and closer to how simple pizza was but, yeah, it's good stuff. I like Pepe's Tomato Pie better than their mozzerella.

[@grimreaperx89ify]

You and daymn drops need to conversate about these because he definitely had a lot to say about these spots lmao

[@imissmayberry12]

Daym is a fraud

[@barberjeff67]

You're making me hungry! Now I need to visit New Haven! Sounds like all 3 are winners.

[@AntMitts8035]

I used to work as a cook for consiglios right next to Pepe's pizza and during the weekends we would cook each other food we'd make them a tray or two of chicken Parm or penne vodka or whatever they wanted and they'd give us a couple of pies....it was awesome and then I'd buy myself a pie and pick it up after my shift...amazing couple of years for sure lol

[@davidmel2158]

My favorite New Haven : 1 DaLegna : The Honey Pot 2 Modern : Saw-seeg 3 Pepe's : Orig. Tomato

[@alexedwards5927]

You Gotta Try Zuppardis Pizza In West Haven, CT it’s definitely competition with Pepe’s Sally’s And Modern!

[@tommyflavio]

If you ever come back, there are more apizza gems, and each unique in their own way... Zuppardi's and Roseland's are great new haven style pizzas. Bar has my favorite potato and bacon pie. Colony has a killer hot oil (and sausage) pie and a salad pie which we get at work a lot (lighter, not traditional new haven pizza - we call it lunch pizza). Almost any pizza restaurant that has been around for at least 50 years here in the county is well worth your time. I just threw an engagement party where we got a cheese and specialty pie from 8 different apizza locations and let everyone rate their favorites. The flavor changes once the pizza hits the box, but it's still great. Lucky to be local to new haven.

[@RobertCooperTheGallery]

The next time you forward to New Haven check out BAR they have great pizza too.... They're right across the street from Louis Lunch....

First place great job producing this video. I would post a pic in my comments of you guys standing in front of Sally's before they opened taking pics. I was in my car waiting also for them to open when I saw you guys with some professional cameras. I knew right away you were filming a pizza tour. But I never thought I would have a chance to see it done because I had no clue who you were. Once again good video and yes its all subjective on whos better but next time you come add Bar downtown and Zuppardi in West Haven. My opinion Sally's is absolutely the best. But all the others run second place for me. Thanks guy for coming up North and look forward to see more stuff from you
