Zuppardi's Apizza

My teens and I have been wanting to try another New Haven style apizza hotspot, and Zuppardi's did not disappoint! While it was busy on an early Friday evening, we were able to park in the lot and get a table within a couple of minutes. My boys shared a large pepperoni and sausage pie, which they said was great (they especially liked the sausage, which I've heard is made in house). I got a small baby clam pie with mozzarella, which was phenomenal. Fresh clams, a little spice, a crisp, flavorful crust... so good! We will definitely be back!

Zuppardi’s Pizza absolutely lives up to the hype. The pizza is perfectly cooked with a crispy crust, and incredible flavor in every bite. You can really taste the quality and tradition behind it. The service is friendly and efficient even when they’re busy. This is classic New Haven pizza done right—worth every visit.

Very old school classic neighborhood pizza spot with serious pies! We ordered the special and the clam pie. Both came out with the perfect char on the crust side, the pizza itself was very generously topped. Each bite was so full of flavor and I can definitely see why Zuppardi's has such a following. Honestly, this is up there if not is better than the famous New Haven spots. Definitely would come by again and try other pies. The service is also very good making our waitresses was always making sure we were enjoying the food and asked if checked if we needed anything else.

It was a tough decision, but a big part of it was the cheese in the shaker, which I'm pretty sure it's Romano instead of parm. Love Romano, like parm. The Romano gets the extra point(s). Will definitely repeat!

Some meals are about the food. Others are about the people. This one was both. I’ve been blessed to sit at a table with these guys for more than 50 years, and we make it a point to get together monthly for lunch. We call ourselves the Slice Mob, a standing date built around friendship, conversation, and wherever the pizza takes us. This time, that place was Zuppardi’s Apizza, and it showed up exactly the way a Connecticut apizza institution should. We ordered a mix, but the standouts were the escarole and bean with sausage and the house special with cherry peppers. The escarole pie is everything that works about old-school combinations: bitter greens, creamy beans, savory sausage, all balanced and never heavy. The house special brings just enough heat, those cherry peppers cut through th
