Sally's Apizza[edit | edit source]
Sally's Apizza is a renowned pizzeria located in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. Established in 1938, it is one of the oldest and most celebrated pizzerias in the United States, known for its distinctive style of New Haven-style pizza, also referred to as "apizza."
History[edit | edit source]
Sally's Apizza was founded by Salvatore "Sally" Consiglio, a nephew of Frank Pepe, who founded the nearby Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana. Sally's quickly gained a reputation for its thin-crust pizzas, which are baked in a coal-fired oven, giving them a unique flavor and texture. The pizzeria has remained a family-owned business, with the Consiglio family maintaining its traditional recipes and cooking methods.
Pizza Style[edit | edit source]
Sally's Apizza is famous for its "apizza," a style of pizza that is distinct from the more common Neapolitan pizza. New Haven-style pizza is characterized by its thin, oblong crust, which is slightly charred from the coal-fired oven. The dough is made with a high-gluten flour, resulting in a chewy texture. Sally's offers a variety of toppings, but it is particularly known for its "plain" pizza, which features tomato sauce, garlic, and pecorino romano cheese, with mozzarella being an optional addition.
Menu[edit | edit source]
The menu at Sally's Apizza is simple yet classic, focusing on quality ingredients and traditional recipes. In addition to the plain pizza, popular options include the "white clam pie," which is topped with fresh clams, garlic, and olive oil. Other offerings include pizzas with toppings such as pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and anchovies. Sally's also serves a selection of salads and beverages to complement the pizza.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
Sally's Apizza has become a cultural icon in New Haven and is a must-visit destination for pizza enthusiasts. It has been featured in numerous food and travel publications and has a loyal following of locals and tourists alike. The pizzeria's reputation is built on its commitment to maintaining the traditional methods and flavors that have defined New Haven-style pizza for decades.
