Zuppardi's Apizza

If you’re looking for old school New Haven style pizza without the long lines and waits, Zuppardi’s in West Haven is a terrific alternative. The dough is outstanding, both in taste and texture, thickish and crispy, with tremendously delicious crust, perfectly cooked. The cheese is excellent, with a creamy consistency, melted really well considering the nice char level, and definitely some sharp bite and kick in the flavor. I’m slightly disappointed by the sauce which is a little lacking in volume and taste. While the sauce isn’t bad, I’m very surprised it doesn’t have a more distinctive flavor. Overall, this is a fantastic pie and the closest thing to Pepe’s in the area.
