Zuppardi's Apizza

This may be the best pizza I’ve ever had. New Yorker in New Haven to try the “best pizza in the U.S. The crust was the star of this show. It was just so perfect. Right in that in between point of crispy and doughy which is what good pizza should be. I had the 1/2 plain and 1/2 claim with mozzarella on the whole pie. I like Zuppardi’s approach. They don’t overdo it with the sauce and cheese. They take almost a minimalist approach to it. And on the clam side, the clams are freshly shucked so you taste that freshness in every bite. I’ve never seen lemon wedges served on the side of a pizza but when in Rome (or New Haven) do as the Romans do. Lemon juice topping it was. When I used to live in New Haven, I are Pepi’s and Sally’s and I must say that Zuppardi’s does hold its own if not surpass those legendary New Haven institutions. It’s the Big Leagues up here and Zuppardi’s hit a home run.
