First time coming here since they moved to this building, so it's been a while. While the big 3 are go to for New Haven apizza, Da Legna rocks some very tasty pies, on the fancy side. Don't miss out on this spot for something a little different. Server was attentive and friendly, looking forward to coming back.
The pizza was very good. Soft, grilled crust and good pure tomato flavor to the tomato sauce. Got a small regular one with broccoli which was 15 and much more reasonably priced than some of the specials on the menu (some of the large size specials are 30+). My friend tried a few vegan ones. Without real cheese doesn't really taste like pizza to me but he thought they were good. Parking is also very easy - the restaurant has its own lot. Downsides - tables are close together and it's easy to hear neighbor conversations and vice versa. Environment is spacious but not all that well designed.
Loved the pizza here! My table agreed that we prefer the pizza here instead of Pepe's or Sally's. No need to stand in a long line outside, just make a reservation. Plus they offer a gluten free crust. We ordered the meat pizza and the fig pizza. Both delicious either way a crunchy and chewy crust. The gluten free crust was nice and chewy. The shaved fennel salad was just ok. We expected more fennel but it was mainly an arugula salad topped with fennel. Dressing was very light. Cute place with a nice bar and patio seating!
This review is for the Hoax Brewery located in Da Legna at NOLO and NOLO. NOLO is a restaurant that is known for pizza. They make wood fired thin crust pizza; the type of dough they use is sourdough. The beer is brewed by Hoax Brewing and you can see the beer canisters when you first walk in. There is a parking lot and patio area. The restaurant was chic and trendy. We stopped in on a whim just to try the beers on a Saturda afternoon. The place was packed so it's best if you book reservations. Since we were only getting beer, they let us use the empty table up front. The hosts and servers were very nice and accommodating. I'm a sour beer fan so I tried two of the beers; 1. Raspberry toasted marshmallow sleight of hand: it has hints of raspberry, chocolate, and marshmallow; a very tasty beer! Definitely would order this again and loved the marshmallow flavor, it's unique when it's in beer format. 2. Tropic Thunder: it has notes of raspberry, pineapple, banana, and guava. It was good and reminded me of summertime. The pizza looked and smelled so good from afar but we were getting dinner elsewhere. Next time, I look forward to trying the pizza out!
My daughter and I visited Nolo because we had heard so much about it. We entered the establishment and were seated right away. The service was a bit off initially, but our server was great. We ordered a Pepperoni pizza, which came out in about twenty minutes. The pizza was okay. The Pepperoni gave the taste of Ellio's pizza. The pizza had flopped, and the sauce was okay. The sauce had somewhat of a flavor but overall a basic regular sauce. I'm glad we got to try the pizza, and our server provided good service.
Inside ambiance is nice and they have their own private lot. As someone who loves NY pizza, this pizza is was a little tart for me and could have been cooked a tad longer, but if you like tart sauce, you'll love this place.
Waaaaaay back when, I ate pizza at Da Legna at its old location. I had a favorable impression, but there's a lot of good pizza in the New Haven area and I live closer to Hartford. So years passed without me eating at Da Legna. All the sudden, I started seeing references to "Da Legna at Nolo" or "Da Legna x Nolo". Admittedly, I had no idea what was going on. What was Nolo? A Boutique Hotel? A bar? Another restaurant? And why was Da Legna at Nolo? Arms length business transaction? Corporate takeover? Happy coincidence? I visited today, and in case you're confused, here is what I have. Nolo is a modern "non-hotel" building, sort of near September in Bangkok. It used to be something called Jet Cleaners. Sounds like a dry cleaner, but I'm not that far into my investigation yet. Nolo houses both the re-located Da Legna pizza business and Hoax Brewing. Hoax Beers are served at Nolo. There is a bar. Two wood burning pizza ovens, plenty of seating. Table and bar service. And you can sit right in front of the open kitchen and watch them make pizza. Mystery solved. I ordered a Hoax "Sorry for the Delay" IPA (it was good) and a 16 inch The State, which was basically like a Supreme at a lot of places. Da Legna pizzas are made in wood burning ovens. Among the New Haven pizza places that people often talk about, Da Legna probably has the first or second chewiest and least crispy pizza. It's either Zeneli or Da Legna. Da Legna's crust also has char though. So it's sort of a New Haven and Neapolitan hybrid. The toppings were high quality. The mushrooms looked fresh. The pepperoni, bacon and sausage were tasty. The cheese was good. A good pizza, if you like a chewy and non-crispy crust. I liked this pizza. Service was friendly. The space was cool. I'm comfortable recommending Da Legna, but I prefer some other places in New Haven. 4.25 Stars
Delicious variety in pizza. We came about two hours before the kitchen closed. Couldn't decide on the pizza, ended up with a few big pins. We were a group of 7 - so full with leftovers towards the end of the night. Beautiful, big space with chill vibes. Worth the visit. Friendly service, huge parking lots, all payments accepted.
Popped in here on the way home from Boston, and it was a worthwhile stop! The space itself is rather large, with outdoor seating as well as bar seats and tables. We sat at the bar and were welcomed right away from the friendly bartender. We ordered the clam pie and the margerita and added on peppers and spinach. The pies were delicious with a thin charred crust. We also ordered the ice cream sandwich for dessert and it was absolutely massive and worth sharing with someone. I would definitely come back here again the next time I'm in New Haven!
Flexing that New Haven pizza muscle, the region must welcome the newest kid on the Block (at least new to me), Nolo.. This spot has easily entered the top five New Haven pizza places for me this year. Having visited their location a few times and also experiencing their pizza offsite. I will say this place is consistent and creative and absolutely delicious. Not only do they turn out some of the best New Haven style pizza, but their cocktails are top-notch as well. I don't know if I have a pizza favor yet because every time I turn around there's something new but stay tuned for an updated review if I can make up my mind in the future lol. Highly recommend visiting their location. It's a cool vibe and you won't be disappointed.
Da Legna is sooo good, and more slept on compared to other New Haven pizza. I've never had to wait long to be seated and the menu is fun. I had the patate pizza and it was fantastic - the Gouda and corn made it so uniquely delicious. Inside is chill and laid-back and the booth is really comfortable. When folks ask me for my NH pizza option, I send them here. I can't wait to go back.
Originally wanted to go to Moderns, but line was too long. Decided to head to Bar, but then stumbled upon this place. I recall the name, ate at their prior location. The cheese pizza was great , solid 8.8
Good pizza, some stumbles with meatballs Was in the area for a test drive, and wanted some New Haven pizza. So came here out of all the pizza joints since they were doing thing's differently compared to the classics. Inside is very modern, lots of stone and wood accents. Server was green, but friendly. We got meatballs and a small pizza to share. We went as soon as they opened, and their Alfredo sauce didn't have any Parmesan. It was literally the base white sauce with no flavor. We had to return it because it was just severely lacking. The pizza made up for the meatball failure though. Good thin charred crust with plenty of toppings and strong complimentary flavors. The pizza was slightly underdone by the center, so there was tip sag. But the flavors were good. Price was reasonable, though the server did try to charge us for the meatballs. He was still learning though and he corrected it. Didn't see him talk to the kitchen though to inform them of the issue. It's good pizza at least, and a good representation of the New Haven new school. A good option if you're in the area
I was looking for gluten free pizza in New Haven on our drive back from Nantucket. This place had good ratings so I gave it a shot. The staff who answered the phone was polite and patient during peak dinner time. I decided on a gluten free potato-bacon (patate) and a clam pizza (copps island clam casino). When I went to pick it up I saw how expansive the place is inside. AC was pumping on this hot day. Bathrooms very clean. Warehouse look with booth seating. I'd like to come back to dine inside. The pizza hit the spot and the gluten free crust was pretty good. It held up the toppings well with no droop. Ingredients were tasty. I ended up ordering a salad too (stilton sub with goat cheese) and the dressing was so delicious!! The front staff were great. Ended up $94 for 2 pizzas and a salad but we ate every last crumb so totally worth it. Better with pepper flakes! I'd love to taste some of the other items: barbecue di maiale, broccoli rabe, margherita, and more! I love the combos. read more
Delicious Vegan Pizza! We tried the "vegan bacon" pizza at Da Legna X NOLO and it was amazing! There's other options here too! Plus there's a cute outdoor seating area. I want to come back! Pros: Outdoor seating area for summer, amazing pizza Cons: Inside is really hot in the summer because they have no AC read more

Super cool layout. Beautiful decor love the space. However, came in for dinner on Wednesday night. It's November and it's probably 45° inside the restaurant absolutely freezing. All the patrons have their jackets not only on but zipped to the top. The marble bar is so cold you can't rest your arm on it. I've never experienced anything like this before . Not sure if their heat is broken, but it's unbearable And most likely gonna leave. Yes I'm aware that your ovens are vented and pull outside air in however if you can't afford to heat your house, you have no business owning one. So decided to weather it out and stay ordered some hot tea freezing order a Hawaiian pizza against their philosophy can't win for losing at this place. Definitely do not recommend. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse from here. read more

We are vacationing nearby and decided we had to try New Haven apizza! We chose Da Legna x NOLO because they have wonderful gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, and omnivore selections! They also offer several of their signature cocktails without alcohol if you prefer! Our party of five is made of gluten free omnivores, a gluten free vegetarian, a vegetarian, and an omnivore. All of us enjoyed our choices! We also tried a London Fog mocktail; it was delicious. We had a Clark St 16" pizza with eggplant, tomatoes, ricotta, and basil. It was a traditional New Haven apizza with several charred areas on the crust! Delicious! We also ordered a 12" gluten free Pecora with ricotta, carmelized onions, pistachios, and truffle oil! Magnificent! Our third pie was a Broccoli Rabe with sausage and cheese. Excellently tart and savory, showcasing both the broccoli rabe and the sausage. The gluten free among us are intolerant, not celiac. This is not a dedicated gluten free kitchen. BUT the crusts are made elsewhere in a dedicated gluten free kitchen. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The ambiance is cool, with a relaxed vibe! The velvet semi-circular booth benches are so unique! The overhead lightening shaped lights are cool! The pies are reasonably priced, especially for their size and generous toppings! The pies appear on your table hot and fresh in mere minutes! Service is amazingly fast! Thank you so much to all the pizzaliers (pronounced like gondolier) working those white hot ovens! read more
1st time at this place. Pretty impressed by the place. Nicely decorated with a low lights vibe which seem perfect for a date or dinner put with a group of friends. Definitely ni e vibes. We had the pizza which I felt was more like 3.5 considering the pizza places around. With that said, the place, the service and location made it a place that will definitely visit again while in new haven. read more

Yet another solid pizza joint in New Haven, a city that is known for having delicious pizza. Thankfully I do not live here, or I would have serious health problems from all the arterial blockage because of all the cheesy goodness, like the blood in the streets that run through this town. Good pizza though. It is tasty and thorough and comes out very fast. It is amazing how much I can eat of this and still feel empowered afterwards. Fresh sauce, terrific sauce, and that soot on your hands from the pizza cooking. I looked like I just got out a tire shop with how much was on my hands. But I love it, I dig it. Da Legna gives a solid performance for a solid pie and would recommend it if you need a good New Haven pie. It is also by the train tracks so it is ideal for anybody looking for something to do if you have to wait. Yes, I am talking to you, railfans. Enjoy and partake and dig right in. read more
After a hike my friends and I stumbled upon Da Legna x NOLO and although we wanted steak we were not disappointed with what we ordered. We all love the velvet pink booth it definitely has a elegant vibe which I loved. Perfect spot for a date. Service was prompt and attentive. I got my water refilled multiple times which I appreciate. My sister and I shared a large figura pizza which its fig n prosciutto which is one-of my favorite sweet and salty combination. Would definitely go back when in a mood for good New Haven style pizza. read more
It's a great pizza place. They serve delicious cocktails and pizza. This place is very uniquely decorated too. We ended up here for lunch with a group of friends after a mild Hike. I didnt really care for pizza because i really wanted to save my appetite for my craving of steak later on. My friends truly enjoyed their pizza tho. I ordered the arugula salad with aside of grilled chicken and that was amazingly good Definately a place to visit read more
Great addition to the New Haven pizza scene. Loved the decor and music. Pizza and beer was on par with the other competitors in town. Service was wonderful and we will definitely be returning soon to try their other specialty beers and pizzas. read more

Craving some exceptional pizza, we visited Nolo for dinner and had an outstanding experience from beginning to end :-) Tip: The outdoor seating area is dog-friendly We started off with two appetizers - the Meatball and the Brussel Spouts. Both dishes were nicely executed, and helped set the stage for the main event - our pizzas! We shared two pies that night - the Napoli (Arugula, Burata Cheese, Prosciutto Di Parma, Parmesan Reggiano) and the Margherita (San Marzano Tomatoes, Buffalo Mozzarella, Basil, Garlic, EVOO). What makes or breaks a pizza for me is the crust, and Nolo's crust is absolutely delicious. It's crispy, thin, and not too dense, with just the right amount of chew; it's about as close to perfect as a pizza crust can get. The toppings are obviously good quality, generously applied, and the sauce has just the right amount of kick to it to compliment the toppings. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the prices are reasonable given the quality of the food and the service. Highly recommended! read more

Hands down my favourite pizza place in NHV. All of their pizzas are so amazing. I have been here too many times to count since the past few months since discovering them this past summer. For me personally, I don't like my pizzas super burnt - I like them cooked well enough that it won't flop without it being burnt. And Da Legna's pizza is like that. I think I have tried half their menu so far and they've all been good. I especially love the Honeypot and the Capricciossa. A plus for me - they have vegan pizza! I have a few vegan friends so it is always awesome to come here with them. Plus - their vegan pizza is also really good?? Would highly highly recommend!! read more

A departure from classic haunts like Modern, Sally's and Pepe's, yet Da Legna stands on its own. They've got mooz and plain, but also Broccoli rabe and sausage, plus some creative ones with truffle honey and ricotta. Also a couple of different salads to choose from (we had the arugula fennel), and sides including super savory meatballs. A great option when your party wants pizza and more. read more

A hidden gem in New Haven! The Honeypot pizza was absolutely amazing with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. We visited on a busy weekend afternoon and had to wait a while, but the pizza made it worth it. read more

A twist between Neapolitan and New Haven style pizza, De legna serves up upscale pies in an elegant setting far distinct from Wooster street. We were excited to try De Legna, but were not impressed by the service. Given by the small crowd the night we visited (as pictured), it took close to 30 minutes for our cocktails to be prepared and our food ordered. The ambiance is fun, the pizza is solid, and it is definitely a fun place to try. However, given our about average experience, we likely would choose other nearby pizzerias before returning. read more
