Capone's Pizza Bar

This is about as close to New Haven style pizza as you will find without actually going to New Haven. A very large pie, divided into several slices, borderline long slender slivers, it’s rather floppy do to the length of each slice. The undercarriage isn’t very firm but has great char underneath, along with mega crispy & crunchy crust, reminiscent of New Haven’s finest. While the seeds underneath the pie help prevent moisture, it’s just not as crispy as I’d prefer, but still incredibly tasty. The sauce is no-nonsense with punch-you-in-the-face flavor! Tangy, sweet, zesty & zippy, the sauce is the standout star of the pizza. Even though the cheese leans more generic, it’s melted well with fine flavor, just a tad too greasy. Aside from the excess oil, the mozzarella blend is tasty, just not as flavorful as the sauce and dough. Overall, this extremely solid New Haven style football pizza, damn close to the real thing and outstanding for this area of Connecticut. The rating is really close between a 7.9 and 8.1 but the friendly service won me over and put the score over the top. This pizza is worth making a trip to try; and if New Haven didn’t exist, this is the type of pie everyone would be raving about.

Chewy crust, tons of flop. A little too greasy for me.

Crispy, no flap, sauce was good.

Great pizza , perfect sized large . Go here you won’t be disappointed.

Capone's is the BEST pizza in Branford and it isn't close. This is the veggie but you can't go wrong with the plain cheese or anything with meat. My personal favorite is the eggplant ricotta pizza. Best eggplant pie I've ever had.

A very average pie in an area of legendary pizza. I heard great things, but found the pizza sauce and cheese to be missing any good tang. The pizza also has considerable droop. Thin crust and was charred, which was my favorite part.

1/2 mashed potato 1/2 capones special. Delicious, thin, crispy and bursting with flavor

Actually had a regular cheese pizza in the bar area but did not take a picture while eating so I pulled this picture off yelp for the review since it forces a picture. Very pedestrian slice, nice bar area though, would say it's slightly better than bar pizza but not a pizza i'd go searching for.
