Pizza Review
Had major expectations after learning about the ties to BAR in New Haven and after housing the pie I have to say it’s even better. Razor thin and cut recession style the crust is so damn light but not floppy, great crisp all the way through. On the outer crust it’s very airy and the undercarriage is loaded with the looks and flavor of a coal fired pie even tho it’s a gas brick oven, not a bad thing. The sauce very tangy and has a great garlicky flavor, probably why I like it so much and the cheese melded perfectly with it giving the pizza that great NH style bite you get around here. If you like BAR or bar style pies this place is for you, the service was very quick and really friendly. Inside it’s a great place to slam some beers and loved the ambiance, looks like this place gets crazy busy too. I know it’s in Bridgeport but this is defff some top notch Apizz!!!
Pizza Review
Final day of my Connecticut pizza run. Was in Stamford, then Stratford/Bridgeport/Fairfield. I've been driving my friend out here. Got this pie right after they opened…great stuff here. First, it was a rustic looking pie. I have pics of the full pie, which was misshapen. But it's to such a point I think your average person would think it looked *bad*. And I think that's a thing with New Haven style apizza: The char and rusticness that Pizzaholics appreciate about it, the average person may not. But on to the apizza… So the crust was charred just as much as I like it. It's like a pita almost, as thin as Lucali, light, and yet not crunchy cracker-like that I don't like about bar pie style crust. It's a great crust, if that's up your alley. It's one of the great ways to do this crust. This had no puffy cornicione. I feel like some people use “tangy” as if that's the only descriptor or thing to look for in the taste of a sauce. That said, it's the perfect word to describe the taste here. Sauce don't need garlic, oregano, basil, or even salt (in some cases) if the natural flavor of the tomatoes are good. I doubt this sauce has any of that besides salt, maybe. That speaks well of it. Mozz, light amount of mozzarella. The cheese to sauce ratio is well balanced and up my alley. I think anyone on a hungry day could down a small pie.Really a great pie all around. If you're from out of state, it should be on your list if you're in the area. I almost went to Salerno’s Apizza initially but they were on vacation. This is definitely a young under 40, Brewery type vibe as opposed to old school Italian vibe of Salerno’s Appiza in Stratford. If you're from this area though, this is just *one* of the best spots for pizza nearby from your options of bar pie, Greek, New York style, a couple other apizza spots, and New Haven is only 30 minutes away.
