Road tripping with my daughter and detoured through New Haven on the way. Always wanted to try New Haven style Apizza, so this was our shot! Frank Pepere 1) pepperoni 2) margarita 3) spinach mushroom and Gorgonzola. Sally’s 4) tomato mozzarella 5) clam 6) white.
Full disclosure, I’m just a basic dude from the northeast with mediocre pizza. I’m not a pizza snob and generally like plain cheese to anything else. I’m also aware that the pizza’s from Pepere’s were saltier with bolder flavors. This is why we started with Sally’s and a clean palette.
I’m sorry if I offend anyone but this is how we felt about our experience. Rated from best to worst Margarita, Gorgonzola, peperoni, white, mozz, clam.
Overall, we felt like the pies from Sally’s just fell flat. They were bland and didn’t really have much flavor. Really liked the char, though. But the pies from Peperes were awesome and the margarita was phenomenal. Really great flavors from the cheeses, sauce and crust, definitely the best pizza we’ve had.
