Guidebook for New Haven
Food Scene
One of the most famous Pizzerias in the world. Part of the famous duo (along with Pepe's) on Wooster street. My personal favorite pizza on the planet.
Expect long lines and slow service. Don't go if you in a rush, but if you want a piece of New Haven and pizza history definitely go.

Right around the block this Pizzeria was started by an ex Sallys employee. The Pizza is excellent. I personally like the Bacon, or Mashed Potato Pie, but you can't go wrong.
Bar turns into a nightclub during the evening and brew their own assortment of beers.
