This one of my favorite videos about New Haven pizza that I’ve seen! Love that you show the interior of the restaurants and driving around the neighborhood, rather than just the apizza. I can’t wait to get up there one day! Nice job!
Great video! I've really got to try Zupardi's now! The other place I hear mentioned often for New Haven pizza is BAR, which looks great as well. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 the challenge of some of the restaurants is Modern opens at 10:30 and Bar at 3pm. I need to figure out the schedule tommorow's revisit of NH
Enjoy New Haven, there's the Yake Art Gallery about a 15min walk away from Sally’s. Keep in mind there might be some lines depending on which pizzeria you visit. Let me know how it goes!
I find it depends on what day of the week you visit. Sometimes the crust is thin and Crispy, other times it's too doughy. The better bakers work on the busier days. Also, definitely sit inside to eat and don't do take out.
Thanks for watching, I definitely know that humidity, charging the oven and more effects the pizza . But Frank Pepe's has disappointed me 3 times :( I will say this, so far Sally's has been consistent as well as Zupardi's
I go to Sally’s regularly, if you ever go back try a pepperoni with extra sauce. I order it almost every time and it’s the best simple pizza I’ve ever had.
Epic pizza crawl Noah! I had every single one of those pies. I recommend the Margherita over at Pepe's. I'm not sure if the quality dipped after Frank passed away. Appreciate the facetime :) Very well directed film, I thought the T-shirt reveal at the end made for some great drama.
The first slice of Apizza I had in life came from Zuppardi's. Next time you get to West Haven try their sausage apizza. They make their own sausage and it is amazing.
Grew up on Long Island and lived in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn for a few years. Had New Haven style a few years ago. Pepe’s And Modern were the 2 I tried. Both are an excellent representation of local pizza and have a different point of view from their cousins in New York I didn’t find them to be on a height level. For me, the clam pies make a trip to New Haven. Shout out to Modern for having a gluten free offering for my son. Glad I went but I’ll stick with New York. Ans since I live North Carolina near the DiFara in Cary I will always have something world class near me.
Blown away by this video. Outstanding. Zuppardis clam pie is very good and the texture of the pizza is very well balanced. I actually preferred Modern over Sally’s and Pepe’s which surprised me. Sally’s potato pizza is a nice unique experience too
@@NoahEatsZuppardis looks like pies in get in NY and NJ, the other 3 had that New Haven look to it. Did Zuppardi have a similar taste/texture to Modern and Sallys as far as the dough itself?
@rejectionistmanifesto8836 thanks for watching. I will say the oven definitely has a play with the bake. Zupardi’s uses a gas oven, Modern uses an oil oven and Sally’s uses the coal. Both Zupardi’s and Modern uses a lower temp and bakes slightly longer. Sally’s coal is hot, so a little faster. The crumb structure is similar for each pie in that they are thin and tight. It's the timing in the oven and the teacher that makes it look more uniform as in Zupardi’s and Modern
With the Apizza, FoxonPark BirchBeer is the one to drink. It’s the best combination. You can tell the BEST pizza places in New Haven only serve FoxonPark soda.
Any idea on what types of cheeses Zupardi's used? I love to smell great rich cheese in the air! I recall going to King's Island in the 70's as a kid and we would get off the bus in the parking lot and you could smell that rich cheese aroma all over the amusement park! I've been trying for half of my life to duplicate that memory of flavor from a slice of that pizza. Any help would be appreciated. I know some people take their recipes to the grave LOL! Nice video!
For me it's Sally's clam pie, sausage pie and plain tomatoes! Wow, it's such an amazing pizza. They are all good but i Sally's was my first with good friends and i just stayed loyal. I love it!
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately some places it was easier to get a seating. However the quality should not decline as much as it did with Pepe’s. The Modern held up while it was in the box for moments. I've had pizza to go and enjoyed it more than sit-down. Go figure. I appreciate you're taking the time to comment. See you soon
The New Haven style pizza you have to eat in at the place. Its too fragile to leave in box. There is a place in Astoria called Andrew Bellucis Pizza and their pizza has that New Haven style crust but it's marketed as an artisan NYC pizza.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. In this video, I had to take out, but it's interesting that I've had it sitting down pre-video and it wasn't that good :( I'm due to visit and will try again
Nice job! I haven't lived there for thirty years, but it is the pizza I grew up with it and that was the language we spoke. Two things, it is a Southern Italian language, not Northern. The Neapolitan language is where this term comes from, but you did get the contraction of the article correct. Also, it's kind of ah-beetz, but it is really a non-aspirated P, so it isn't a pure B sound. It's hard to explain, but almost like ahp-beetzé. Don't worry, most people in Connecticut actually get it wrong these days too.
Thanks for watching! Most definitely have eaten inside before. This time, trying to squeeze in multiple locations was challenging. I might have to stay a couple nights! I wanted to go to Ernies. But they open later 😞 I appreciate your commenting too
From south east Massachusetts and only there con with my parents at the casino so have frank pe pe twice once from food court mustroom and spinach and other one in con slices cheese or pepperoni
You should have ordered the franks pizza in person and not online, I guarantee you would of loved it if you did. Also give little rendezvous in Meriden a try they’re great as well.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I've eaten inside, outside, giving it a chance. Just surprised how disappointed each time :( maybe the phone will be the exception
when you get ready to do Hot Butter Lobster Rolls, Come back to Connecticut and start with the 7 Seas in Milford, It's the oldest pub and restaurant in town and have been crushing the lobster roll game for Decades.. The hot butter lobster roll was invented in Milford.. just saying . all Four of those places are great, but there's a lot of them around here
Zuppardis for the win! Yes! The Best! Top 2 From Zupp’s.... Sausage (secret family recipe) and Mozzarella Fresh Tomato, Eggplant, Basil, Garlic, Mozz. (Red Sauce)
Unfortunate Pepe's wasn't great but I feel like New Haven pizza doesn't travel super well. I always try to sit down in the restaurant to enjoy it at it's best.
Thanks for watching, I was surprised as I've sat down and this time, I decided not to wait and my SUV was a block away. Oh well time for another visit to New Haven for all sit down and all take out videos
A proper New Haven pizza tour should include the following: 1.) Pepe's White Clam 2.) Sally's Tomato Pie 3.) Modern's Italian Bomb These are the pizzas that put New Haven on the map.
Most definitely!!! Thanks for watching. I'm looking forward to returning. I visited last week, but the Modern line was very long and raining. I want to try Bar's Mashed Potato Pie too. Its interesting to see when places open such as Ernie's and Bar was late afternoon. I tried to time it, but has to catch the ferry
Thanks for watching. However, I've sat down and this by far was unexpectedly not as expected for take out In this episode. I've have much better take out, this was disappointing 😞
Pepe’s , Sally’s ,zuppardi’s , than modern. You got to eat Pepe’s inside it’s only fair 👍😎. For clam pie I think zuppardi’s Been going to new haven Apizza for over 40 years . My friend and I went to all of them in one day and Pepe’s was the winner. They are all good Anyhow 😎
@@NoahEats understand 👍. It all depends who’s making the pizza. Just ask for small apizza with one less slice of cheese and little on the well done side , Bacon and onion is sooooooo good !!!!!
I grew up in new haven county. All the pizzerias were excellent It turned me into a pizza snob. I am rarely happy with a pizza any where I go in the world.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as I've had both in the restaurant and in this video in a box. I will revist and sit down again to confirm. But they have always disappointed 😞
Drove up to New Haven yesterday from central jersey to have lunch with my friend at Frank Pepe’s. Was good not great. Sally’s and Modern at better in my opinion. But John’s of Bleeker is the King. 🍕
Thanks for watching and commenting. What I find interesting is that I've eaten inside before as well as other times outside, and overall very disappointed inside and out. However, I've gone to places where the box was still good or even better. So I will say for me the Pepe's has been inconsistent with quality and I've given them many chances. But that last pie was very disappointing.
I've been going to modern for almost twenty years it's my favorite of the three. But it's pretty Apparent that they don't use similina on the bottom of the pizza. It's part of what I think. Sets them apart from the other places and any other pizza. I've had because they used plain Bread crumbs which gives it nice texture. I've actually modeled my home pizza making off of modern pizza and have got pretty close.
@@NoahEats Pizza reviews are always about Neapolitan style pizza, which is what New Haven and New York City are known for. New York does a better job with it than New Haven. But Greek pizza is popular in the North East and is generally ignored. A great Greek pizza joint near me is Elm Hill Pizza in Newington, CT. For the best Sicilian pizza, pretty much any Sicilian bakery will do. I would choose Mozzicato's in Hartford. But don't get the slices. Order a whole pizza.
Thanks for watching! Actually, I've been to places where the boxed version was better. So while fresh is typically better, but not in all cases. However that pie from Pepe’s was unfortunately way too disappointing. Additionally, I've had the boxed version of Modern, Zupps and Sally's was much better than many overall. But each time Pepe’s has been consistently disappointing 😞 I greatly appreciate your commenting. And helps me work on formatting the videos. Stay tuned!
@@NoahEats Yeah Pepe's is also different in the sense where it REALLY sucks the colder it gets. Sallys out of the 3 is the only one that passes the "next day left overs" test
Modern on State Street is the best- Pepes is hype and Sallys has no flavor to the sauce - go to Modern, taste that one and only unmistakeable dough and sauce - just ask em to go easy on the Mozz ;-)
I've lived in CT all my life- I'm 50 years old and I've eaten Modern, Pepes, Zupps, Sally's (The Spot which was an offshoot of Sallys years ago) and BAR which is more of a night life spot but has a HUGE brick oven and great pizza along with a microbrewery. To this Day - I prefer Modern over the rest but this is talking a Mozz pie - meaning dough, Cheese, sauce. If we're getting into other things like clam pies, etc. I don't have enough knowledge as I judge all these places by their Mozz pies, since they are the basic foundation. Bottom line love these reviews because it shows that people - ordinary people can really discern on attributes that might otherwise go unnoticed - these attributes - the ones you mentioned really make the difference but in the end- it's all personal opinion, right? :)@@NoahEats
Getting pies that are not optimally fresh is your doing, not the restaurant's. If you want a proper pie, sit down and order one just like everyone else. Otherwise your opinions will be invalid and pointless. And for the record, Zuppardi's is clearly fourth-best out of this group, and Modern is the best of them right now.
Thanks for watching, however I've eat many pizzas where the decline of quality is that much of a difference. In this case. It unfortunately drastically declined for Pepe’s. I was surprised. Just visited again and Zupps took the lead again and I sat in all the restaurants except Zupps to test it out too.
@mikeymutual5489 That's not what I'm saying, the quality should decline that poorly. Unfortunately, I've have plenty of Togo pie ls that are better than many right out of the oven. Just surprised that the difference is dramatic. While eating is optimal, it can't be done. As I said in the video, i will sit in again as I've done in the past. But I will say. Compared to other to go, Pepe’s so far has one of the worst to go pies each time I've visited. Just surprised everytime.
So....the Zupp's................... Underbaked, .......................practically RAW Clam pie.........all different versions of pies, the Pepes...............IN THE BOX ........all others fresh at the table....Unfair rating
Thanks for watching, however the true test is a comparison. And the degradation should be non to minimal as I've had pizza in the box much better than out of the oven.
You placed the order online, then they cooked it and let it sit there for a half hour, or longer, until you came and got it, then it was old and bad and it sucked. I would never go to that place again the rest of my life. They should have waited until you got there to put it in the oven, so it was fresh when you got it. They are basically saying to you, screw you online order man, we do not care about you, or care if you get a fresh pizza. And btw, I am in East Peoria Illinois, about a 3 hour drive from Chicago, who has the best deep dish pizza in America. And nobody around here calls a pizza ahbeetz, never not one time in my life, and I am 64 years old. We call it pizza, because that is what it is, it's a pizza, only the pizza snobs call it ah-beetz, so get outta here with your call it ah-beetz stuff, it's a pizza bro. My favorite pizza is from a place called FireHouse, it is a thin crust meat lovers pizza and it is amazing, the best pizza I ever had, and it is only a 10 minute drive from me, so I go there all the time. You can sit at the bar and eat it, or the restaurant side, or eat it while you play the video poker machines, it is the best. I am addicted to it, and I have to have one at least once a week. Sometimes I even get one to go, take it home and freeze it in ziplock bags, and re-heat it in the air fryer when I want pizza. P.S. A plain pizza with just dough, sauce, and cheese is not a pizza, if it does not have meat on it, it's not a pizza in my book, and I would not eat it. Nobody else around here would either. A local barnear me called Crusen's just had free pizza for the College Football Championship game Monday night, so they brought out a sausage and cheese pizza, and everyone got a slice, then they brought out a plain cheese pizza, and it just sat there, nobody even touched it. Then they brought out another sausage and cheese pizza and everyone got a slice, and they took the plain cheese pizza back to the kitchen because nobody would eat it. The rest of the night they only brought out sausage and cheese pizza, because nobody would even touch the plain cheese pizza.
Greatly appreciate your watching and taking the time to write. While I would like to pile on toppings. These pie were recommended for each spot. I know you mentioned what you ordered locally. Have you been to New Haven. Definitely want to read your review of New Haven Pizza.
@@jusbeazy28 To go or eat in, they should only cook your pizza once you get there, so it is fresh, if they offer me a pre-cooked pizza that has been sitting there for 20 to 30 minutes I am going to refuse it and ask for a fresh one, if they say no, I leave and get a pizza from a different place.
Nothing has got to be more annoying to a restauraunt and staff then some random dude with a camera acting like he’s been sent from God to rank their food on UA-cam..I can only imagine how many youtube warriors go to these same pizza spots w their cameras acting like their the next big thing on Food Network Curious, Do you ask for permission to record then pull out your gear OR do you just walk up with a camera recording whatever you please …staff , the kitchen and patrons eating without permission.
Thanks for watching, yes I do ask and try to minimize other people in the shot. I guess the UA-cam Algorithm thought you must be interested in watching my food vlogs. Greatly appreciate your commenting. I've gotten somewhat better at filming and editing. I enjoy the process and visiting places that people ask me to visit. Thanks for the vote of confidence as I never considered being on Food Network. I might be lucky to be on an unknown podcast.
This is a bogus pizza review, because it is not a pizza without meat on it. You are just eating crust, sauce, and cheese, I would not eat any of them without meat on it. Everyone around here gets the meat lovers pizza with 5 different meats on it, including bacon. At the minimum a pizza must have sausage and pepperoni on it, and bacon if they have it. Nobody I know eats a pizza with no meat on it, that is just dumb. And no wonder it only cost $13, it's $2.00 worth of crust, sauce, and cheese, so it better be cheap. The 12 inch thin crust meat lovers near me at Firehouse is $19.00, because it had 5 meats on it, including 2 kinds of bacon, Canadian bacon and regular bacon, which is why it cost $19.00, because it is a real pizza. Not even the kids would eat a plain cheese pizza around here, they would feed it to the dog. And one last thing, I am not waiting in line for an hour to get a pizza, I will go somewhere else, order it to go, get it delivered, or go back when it is not so busy.
@@NoahEats A comprehensive completely wrong take on plain pizza! I grew up with New Haven and Waterbury pizza (an offshoot). Modern is the best IMO, but you should try BAR. It is an ultra-thin take on NH pizza but also great. Pepe's has gone down hill a bit IMO, but their summer tomato pie, and plain tomato pies are both still generally great. Sally's has done a better job keeping quality up with outposts IMO. I get the Sally's from Stamford, CT all the time and it is excellent even compared to the original. Zuppardi's is also great but would probably be my third choice behind Modern and Sally's.
You have an opinion that is WRONG. No matter what you think, pizza is a pizza is a pizza, whether it has just cheese or have meat on them. Why don't you tell Italians that what they are making are not pizza?? LOL
@@1flash3571 You have an opinion that is WRONG. It's not a pizza without meat on it, case closed. I could care less what the italians think about it, they are wrong too.
@@steves2241 Soooo, the INVENTOR of the Pizza is WRONG???? How does that logic work for you??? Are you a 5 year old???? Any logical person would tell you that YOU ARE WRONG. Deal with it, just like a man CAN'T get pregnant with babies.
IM VERY INTERESTED IN TRYING NEW HAVEN PIZZA. I STILL HAVE YET TO TRY CHICAGO DEEP DISH. I'VE HAD DETROIT PAN STYLE PIZZA, IT'S GREAT. I'VE ALSO HAD SICILIAN, WHICH WAS ALSO GREAT, BOTH ARE VERY MUCH THEIR OWN THING. BUT I STILL AM CERTAINLY DECIDED THAT THE SLICE OF PIZZA I HAD IN MANHATTAN 2 BLOCKS DOWN FROM PENN STATION ON A TRAIN LAYOVER WAS THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER TASTED. I'M FROM FLORIDA, AND MY #1 FAVORITE FOOD IS PIZZA. I'VE HAD 1000'S OF SLICES. I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THE PIZZA IN NEW YORK CITY TASTED. WOW, ALL THE HYPE I HEARD FOR DECADES BEFORE I TRIED IT, I WAS WORRIED IT WOULDN'T LIVE UP TO IT, BUT IT KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF. ON TO CHICAGO DEEP DISH, CHICAGO STUFFED, AND NEW HAVEN APIZZA; WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
My folks were born in New Haven. The pizza has been part of my life for longer than I can remember.
Lucky you! Thanks for watching. Hope you had a great Weekend 👍
This one of my favorite videos about New Haven pizza that I’ve seen! Love that you show the interior of the restaurants and driving around the neighborhood, rather than just the apizza. I can’t wait to get up there one day! Nice job!
Much appreciate the feedback and watching the video. Love to see your review!!!
just subscribed :) looking forward to future vids happy new year
Much appreciate your support, are there any types of food or restaurants you are interested in learning more about?
Fantastic review my man! You're gonna do big things here on youtube if you keep going. Subscribed! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for your support. If been challenging. I wish I had more time!
Great video, Noah! Thanks for sharing . I’m actually thinking of taking a trip to Connecticut soon I’m really curious about Sally’s
Thanks for watching! My suggestion, go about 60 minutes before opening and wait. Enjoy and report back. Pepe’s is down the block too.
Sallys fresh tomato white pie is a definitely worth trying. I think its their best and people get caught up ordering the status quo pies...
@@NoahEats ok will try that . Thanks
@@antidote7 ok thanks for the recommendation . Do they make small pies ?
What a great video. I hope I can visit New Haven one day.

Yeah, Pepe’s real plain is their tomato pie and their best plain is their margherita. Was never as impressed with their mootz.
I'm going to have to revisit!
Antonio, will be trying other pies today 😀
The first slice of Apizza I had in life came from Zuppardi's. Next time you get to West Haven try their sausage apizza. They make their own sausage and it is amazing.
Thanks for watching, I will order the sausage. Where else should I visit?
@@NoahEats You might want to try Mike's Apizza also in West Haven and Roseland Apizza in Derby CT.
Try a white clam with bacon (and garlic) pie at Sally's or Pepe's. (I gotta go to Zupardi's next time I'm there.)
So many choices and I wished I lived closer. Thanks for watching!

You need to eat inside. Once it's in the box it loses some of the crisp

Wow, it's such an amazing pizza. They are all good but i Sally's was my first with good friends and i just stayed loyal. I love it!
Thanks for watching. I'm still amazing how close the other pizzerias are. With each very busy
@@NoahEats
Yeah if you feel like a drive you can go about 20 minutes north to Little Reundevous in Meriden. Coal fired since early 1900's
Some great info~

You gotta try Little Rendezvous, 15 minutes out of New Haven, it’s a contender for the best. Frank Pepe’s is definitely at the bottom of the list
Thanks for watching and the recommendation!!!
Unfortunate Pepe's wasn't great but I feel like New Haven pizza doesn't travel super well. I always try to sit down in the restaurant to enjoy it at it's best.

Most definitely!!! Thanks for watching. I'm looking forward to returning. I visited last week, but the Modern line was very long and raining. I want to try Bar's Mashed Potato Pie too. Its interesting to see when places open such as Ernie's and Bar was late afternoon. I tried to time it, but has to catch the ferry
Sally's Fresh Tomato white pie is the best IMO, and by far..
@antidote7 all good!!!
@@NoahEats indeed, but I don't think you tried the white fresh tomato, amazing.
you can't judge a take out pizza to a sit in pizza.
Thanks for watching. However, I've sat down and this by far was unexpectedly not as expected for take out In this episode. I've have much better take out, this was disappointing 😞
Pepe’s , Sally’s ,zuppardi’s , than modern. You got to eat Pepe’s inside it’s only fair 👍😎. For clam pie I think zuppardi’s Been going to new haven Apizza for over 40 years . My friend and I went to all of them in one day and Pepe’s was the winner. They are all good Anyhow 😎
Thanks for watching, I've been inside pepes before and surprised not that good, but that box order was super disappointing
@@NoahEats understand 👍. It all depends who’s making the pizza. Just ask for small apizza with one less slice of cheese and little on the well done side , Bacon and onion is sooooooo good !!!!!
I like a clam pie!
Thanks for watching!!! Something special about that shellfish!
@@NoahEats Yes the shellfish is good also.
I grew up in new haven county. All the pizzerias were excellent It turned me into a pizza snob. I am rarely happy with a pizza any where I go in the world.
Thanks for watching! Where does New York Pizza rank in your snobbery :) and Thanks for commenting!
Frank Pepe's pizza DOES NOT TRAVEL WELL. Out of the oven vs out of a box (even for a few minutes) is a night and day difference.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment as I've had both in the restaurant and in this video in a box. I will revist and sit down again to confirm. But they have always disappointed 😞
Drove up to New Haven yesterday from central jersey to have lunch with my friend at Frank Pepe’s. Was good not great. Sally’s and Modern at better in my opinion. But John’s of Bleeker is the King. 🍕
Thanks for watching. Check out L'Industrie in Brooklyn ua-cam.com/video/a1N_qJ2PZcw/v-deo.htmlsi=ODuWh6Y0dQDbV5gs
You didn't give Pepe's a fair shake. Should have ate inside the restaurant. We dined in there recently and it was super!
Thanks for watching and commenting. What I find interesting is that I've eaten inside before as well as other times outside, and overall very disappointed inside and out. However, I've gone to places where the box was still good or even better. So I will say for me the Pepe's has been inconsistent with quality and I've given them many chances. But that last pie was very disappointing.
I find it overrated as well. Either that or it’s gone downhill. I thought Sally’s was far superior.
I live in new haven Sally’s is much better Pepe’s has gone far downhill in the past several years.
modern doesnt use semolina, they use plain bread crumbs
Thanks for watching, I saw video on New Haven Pizza that included Modern saying Semolina, however recipes secrets are on guard!
I've been going to modern for almost twenty years it's my favorite of the three. But it's pretty Apparent that they don't use similina on the bottom of the pizza. It's part of what I think. Sets them apart from the other places and any other pizza. I've had because they used plain Bread crumbs which gives it nice texture. I've actually modeled my home pizza making off of modern pizza and have got pretty close.
Nuthin' Better than a .......COIL............... Fired Oven!!!
Some new electric ovens have come a long way!
I wouldn't go out of my way for a burnt New Haven pizza. I can walk to several better pizza joints than New haven has.
Thanks for watching and commenting. What might you recommend?
@@NoahEats Pizza reviews are always about Neapolitan style pizza, which is what New Haven and New York City are known for. New York does a better job with it than New Haven. But Greek pizza is popular in the North East and is generally ignored. A great Greek pizza joint near me is Elm Hill Pizza in Newington, CT. For the best Sicilian pizza, pretty much any Sicilian bakery will do. I would choose Mozzicato's in Hartford. But don't get the slices. Order a whole pizza.
2016
2016 was when you went?
@@NoahEats Yes that was one of the times I went I went I went to two conventions that was there right
2018
Clam pie?
Thanks for watching? Proximaty to the Long Island Sound, there's access to great seafood and clams work well with garlic, cheese and dough
Well I probably wont go to frank pepes now
Thanks for watching, I have given it several goes, only to be disappointed each time 😞
Try Modern
Dude, you ordered online and ate it in your car. What did you expect?
I was expecting the quality not to dip that far into disastrous disappointment, but I will try Pepe’s again. Where else should I visit?
Also, 2 reviews dine in and 2 take out? That is not a fair review at all. Come on man, of course one of the sit ins was going to win.
Thanks for watching! Actually, I've been to places where the boxed version was better. So while fresh is typically better, but not in all cases. However that pie from Pepe’s was unfortunately way too disappointing. Additionally, I've had the boxed version of Modern, Zupps and Sally's was much better than many overall. But each time Pepe’s has been consistently disappointing 😞
I greatly appreciate your commenting. And helps me work on formatting the videos. Stay tuned!
Pepe's is a pie you NEED to eat fresh, you cant order out. All new haven pies are like this to some extent.
Thanks for watching. I've eaten in before. However, surprising how much different the to go pie was compared to sit down
@@NoahEats Yeah Pepe's is also different in the sense where it REALLY sucks the colder it gets. Sallys out of the 3 is the only one that passes the "next day left overs" test
It's mootz, not mutz...
😆 did my accent get in the way of the Mootz, that what I pronounced 😆 🤣 😂
Thanks for watching
Coukd be, lol. Anyhow, Its pronounced like "moo" from a cow.
Shouldn’t you be reviewing spam. Everybody with a UA-cam channel
Thanks for watching. I was thinking of doing a spam review when I visit Hawaii or at the next Korean snack shop.
Modern on State Street is the best- Pepes is hype and Sallys has no flavor to the sauce - go to Modern, taste that one and only unmistakeable dough and sauce - just ask em to go easy on the Mozz ;-)
Modern was my 3rd clip, do you agree with my assessment?
I've lived in CT all my life- I'm 50 years old and I've eaten Modern, Pepes, Zupps, Sally's (The Spot which was an offshoot of Sallys years ago) and BAR which is more of a night life spot but has a HUGE brick oven and great pizza along with a microbrewery. To this Day - I prefer Modern over the rest but this is talking a Mozz pie - meaning dough, Cheese, sauce. If we're getting into other things like clam pies, etc. I don't have enough knowledge as I judge all these places by their Mozz pies, since they are the basic foundation. Bottom line love these reviews because it shows that people - ordinary people can really discern on attributes that might otherwise go unnoticed - these attributes - the ones you mentioned really make the difference but in the end- it's all personal opinion, right? :)@@NoahEats
@user-ri2yh1ce7y always personal to each foodie! It's fun to get our and experience different places to eat.
Modern is best New Haven Not best in ct. firehouse in new Britain is the best
Thanks for watching and the recommendation. What should I order from the Firehouse
@@NoahEats the special
@@markblain8438 sounds great!!!
@@NoahEats also in Hamden or north haven ct there is a longhorn that has lamb chops w spinach w garlic mashed and salad for 26 99 fantastic.
@@markblain8438 awesome
Why didn’t you order the pizza in person rather than a call in order….that’s a big mistake
Thanks for watching, why would that make such a big difference with inconsistent quality.
Because it was probably cold when you ate it.@@NoahEats
Getting pies that are not optimally fresh is your doing, not the restaurant's. If you want a proper pie, sit down and order one just like everyone else. Otherwise your opinions will be invalid and pointless. And for the record, Zuppardi's is clearly fourth-best out of this group, and Modern is the best of them right now.
Thanks for watching, however I've eat many pizzas where the decline of quality is that much of a difference. In this case. It unfortunately drastically declined for Pepe’s. I was surprised. Just visited again and Zupps took the lead again and I sat in all the restaurants except Zupps to test it out too.
@@NoahEats Ordering online for Pepe's and then eating it in your SUV is not the same as eating a freshly-made pie in the restaurant.
@mikeymutual5489 That's not what I'm saying, the quality should decline that poorly. Unfortunately, I've have plenty of Togo pie ls that are better than many right out of the oven. Just surprised that the difference is dramatic. While eating is optimal, it can't be done. As I said in the video, i will sit in again as I've done in the past. But I will say. Compared to other to go, Pepe’s so far has one of the worst to go pies each time I've visited. Just surprised everytime.
@@NoahEats OK.
I've heard Pepe's isn't as good as it once was.
FJB!
What is FJB?
@@NoahEats
Come on man!!!
So....the Zupp's................... Underbaked, .......................practically RAW Clam pie.........all different versions of pies, the Pepes...............IN THE BOX ........all others fresh at the table....Unfair rating
Thanks for watching, however the true test is a comparison. And the degradation should be non to minimal as I've had pizza in the box much better than out of the oven.
You placed the order online, then they cooked it and let it sit there for a half hour, or longer, until you came and got it, then it was old and bad and it sucked. I would never go to that place again the rest of my life. They should have waited until you got there to put it in the oven, so it was fresh when you got it. They are basically saying to you, screw you online order man, we do not care about you, or care if you get a fresh pizza.
And btw, I am in East Peoria Illinois, about a 3 hour drive from Chicago, who has the best deep dish pizza in America. And nobody around here calls a pizza ahbeetz, never not one time in my life, and I am 64 years old. We call it pizza, because that is what it is, it's a pizza, only the pizza snobs call it ah-beetz, so get outta here with your call it ah-beetz stuff, it's a pizza bro.
My favorite pizza is from a place called FireHouse, it is a thin crust meat lovers pizza and it is amazing, the best pizza I ever had, and it is only a 10 minute drive from me, so I go there all the time. You can sit at the bar and eat it, or the restaurant side, or eat it while you play the video poker machines, it is the best. I am addicted to it, and I have to have one at least once a week. Sometimes I even get one to go, take it home and freeze it in ziplock bags, and re-heat it in the air fryer when I want pizza.
P.S. A plain pizza with just dough, sauce, and cheese is not a pizza, if it does not have meat on it, it's not a pizza in my book, and I would not eat it. Nobody else around here would either.
A local barnear me called Crusen's just had free pizza for the College Football Championship game Monday night, so they brought out a sausage and cheese pizza, and everyone got a slice, then they brought out a plain cheese pizza, and it just sat there, nobody even touched it.
Then they brought out another sausage and cheese pizza and everyone got a slice, and they took the plain cheese pizza back to the kitchen because nobody would eat it. The rest of the night they only brought out sausage and cheese pizza, because nobody would even touch the plain cheese pizza.
Greatly appreciate your watching and taking the time to write. While I would like to pile on toppings. These pie were recommended for each spot. I know you mentioned what you ordered locally. Have you been to New Haven. Definitely want to read your review of New Haven Pizza.
Deep dish pizza is a travesty. As Jon Stewart says, it's a CASSEROLE. A joke. It's not pizza. And it's not close to real apizza.
You don’t get New Haven pizza to go. Cardinal sin number 1 😊
@jusbeazy28 at the same time, those pizzerias all sell more Togo than sit down
@@jusbeazy28 To go or eat in, they should only cook your pizza once you get there, so it is fresh, if they offer me a pre-cooked pizza that has been sitting there for 20 to 30 minutes I am going to refuse it and ask for a fresh one, if they say no, I leave and get a pizza from a different place.
close your mouth when you eat...slop.
Thanks for making the observation. See how I do with my other videos.
Nothing has got to be more annoying to a restauraunt and staff then some random dude with a camera acting like he’s been sent from God to rank their food on UA-cam..I can only imagine how many youtube warriors go to these same pizza spots w their cameras acting like their the next big thing on Food Network
Curious, Do you ask for permission to record then pull out your gear OR do you just walk up with a camera recording whatever you please …staff , the kitchen and patrons eating without permission.
Thanks for watching, yes I do ask and try to minimize other people in the shot. I guess the UA-cam Algorithm thought you must be interested in watching my food vlogs. Greatly appreciate your commenting. I've gotten somewhat better at filming and editing. I enjoy the process and visiting places that people ask me to visit. Thanks for the vote of confidence as I never considered being on Food Network. I might be lucky to be on an unknown podcast.
Do something original
Thanks for watching. Tell me more on what you'd like to see or would make this video different. Greatly appreciate your feedback.
LMAO! THATS NOT THE BEST PIZZA STOP THE MADNESS NOW! NOW!
Thanks for watching! New Haven Might be the Pizza Capital, but what's your favorite pizzeria?
Look up Angelos in Philly! @@NoahEats
@GIRLRAZR Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you like my other videos
This is a bogus pizza review, because it is not a pizza without meat on it. You are just eating crust, sauce, and cheese, I would not eat any of them without meat on it. Everyone around here gets the meat lovers pizza with 5 different meats on it, including bacon. At the minimum a pizza must have sausage and pepperoni on it, and bacon if they have it. Nobody I know eats a pizza with no meat on it, that is just dumb.
And no wonder it only cost $13, it's $2.00 worth of crust, sauce, and cheese, so it better be cheap. The 12 inch thin crust meat lovers near me at Firehouse is $19.00, because it had 5 meats on it, including 2 kinds of bacon, Canadian bacon and regular bacon, which is why it cost $19.00, because it is a real pizza. Not even the kids would eat a plain cheese pizza around here, they would feed it to the dog.
And one last thing, I am not waiting in line for an hour to get a pizza, I will go somewhere else, order it to go, get it delivered, or go back when it is not so busy.
Thanks for taking the time to write a comprehensive comment.
@@NoahEats A comprehensive completely wrong take on plain pizza! I grew up with New Haven and Waterbury pizza (an offshoot). Modern is the best IMO, but you should try BAR. It is an ultra-thin take on NH pizza but also great. Pepe's has gone down hill a bit IMO, but their summer tomato pie, and plain tomato pies are both still generally great. Sally's has done a better job keeping quality up with outposts IMO. I get the Sally's from Stamford, CT all the time and it is excellent even compared to the original. Zuppardi's is also great but would probably be my third choice behind Modern and Sally's.
You have an opinion that is WRONG. No matter what you think, pizza is a pizza is a pizza, whether it has just cheese or have meat on them. Why don't you tell Italians that what they are making are not pizza?? LOL
@@1flash3571 You have an opinion that is WRONG. It's not a pizza without meat on it, case closed. I could care less what the italians think about it, they are wrong too.
@@steves2241 Soooo, the INVENTOR of the Pizza is WRONG???? How does that logic work for you??? Are you a 5 year old???? Any logical person would tell you that YOU ARE WRONG. Deal with it, just like a man CAN'T get pregnant with babies.
IM VERY INTERESTED IN TRYING NEW HAVEN PIZZA. I STILL HAVE YET TO TRY CHICAGO DEEP DISH. I'VE HAD DETROIT PAN STYLE PIZZA, IT'S GREAT. I'VE ALSO HAD SICILIAN, WHICH WAS ALSO GREAT, BOTH ARE VERY MUCH THEIR OWN THING. BUT I STILL AM CERTAINLY DECIDED THAT THE SLICE OF PIZZA I HAD IN MANHATTAN 2 BLOCKS DOWN FROM PENN STATION ON A TRAIN LAYOVER WAS THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER TASTED. I'M FROM FLORIDA, AND MY #1 FAVORITE FOOD IS PIZZA. I'VE HAD 1000'S OF SLICES. I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THE PIZZA IN NEW YORK CITY TASTED. WOW, ALL THE HYPE I HEARD FOR DECADES BEFORE I TRIED IT, I WAS WORRIED IT WOULDN'T LIVE UP TO IT, BUT IT KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF.
ON TO CHICAGO DEEP DISH, CHICAGO STUFFED, AND NEW HAVEN APIZZA; WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
Thanks for watching. Hope you get to have pizza in all the right places! Report back when go! Have a great time
Mattfoodie UA-cam. Like and subscribe would like the support from my brothers and sisters. Hey let's do a pizza vid together in AZ.....
