Went on a Saturday night and there was no wait to for a table. Had their famous Italian Bomb which did not disappoint! Definitely a must go if you're in the New Haven area.
I was told I shouldn't write a review yet because I haven't tried their plain pizza, but I promise I'll update when the time comes. We decided to sit down here on a Sunday night, which was surprisingly crowded but we only had a 5 minute wait (I think they were filming something in the back maybe). After much deliberation I decided to get a mozzarella pizza with mushrooms & garlic, my usual. We also got garlic bread which was good but not great. I was warned before hand that the mushrooms are canned, which I learned contributes to the cheese falling off of the pizza; both of these revelations were disappointing. That said, the pizza was quite good. I'm not a fan of the crunchy-crust New Haven style, but this was good enough for me to look past that.
So I went here because it was highly recommended by a friend. The place was jammed packed at 9pm on a Thursday, but the host greeted me and sat me immediately. Offered suggestions on the pizza, and even the beer. The pizza was a touch charred on one side, but it was still quite delicious. All in all a damn good experience.
I liked the fact that it was cooked well-done. The cheese and sauce did not stand out as anything amazing, but still good. I did enjoy it overall, but have had better crusts on pies elsewhere - just my opinion.
I haven't tried any of the other well-known places in the area, but I'm definitely up for coming back here in the future. My only complaint was the canned mushrooms, and that 4-star rating up there is really close to a 5. Back to the plain pizza, I'm told they have a pizza with light parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella, and I will definitely be trying that next time. That may bring this up the half star it needs, we'll see.
I've heard a lot about this New Haven pizza place so finally got in to try. Nothing special about the location or restaurant, a nice place. Service was fast, very good. The cheese pie I ordered was interesting in that the crust seemed to be "dense", not at all light and crispy. Almost pre-made, not hand tossed?
Good food, but limited choices outside of pizza. Small wine and beer selection. Very popular spot so expect a wait! Good service and good food!
