    Small Mozz pie

    I finally decided to give Frisco's a try because it's close by. My favorite pizza is Modern, but some nights I don't want to drive into New Haven downtown to pick up a pie. And now I won't have to! It was good.

    They didn't frisk me at Frisco's

    Barbie dazzles everyone that meets her And she flirts with anyone that greets her But when she's in New Haven There is no chance she's savin' You any of her Frisco's Pizza! Not to be confused with my cat's fave pizza place (Friskies Pizza), the sexy flirty place (Frisky's Pizza), the place with bulletproof glass and bars on the windows (Risky Pizza), the place run by that girl obsessed with DJ Clint Eastwood (Misty's Pizza), that plathe owned by Tham Thmith (Lispy's Pizza), that place where all the employees wear thongs (Sisqo's Pizza), or the place that sells biscuits (Nabisco's Pizza), not to mention Travolta's place (Disco Pizza) or what we all wanted to do after watching "Ten" (KissBo Pizza). New Haven has excellent pizza, in fact it is credited by some, and claimed by several local spots, to be the home and founding city for pizza in the US, rather than nearby NYC, although they're close enough that I think they can share the crown without too much trouble. Some of it is hype, but then some of the places in town are legendary and awesome, from the late night Mash-n-Bacon slices at Bar, to the amazing Clam Pizza at Frank Pepe's. But gimmicks aside, who has the best cheap, authentic, delicious NHPizza in town? It might well be here. What you tourists might not know is that there some other places on the edge of town with smaller reputations, we're talking incredible places at much smaller prices. For examplke Frisco's offers truly wonderful New Haven pizza at a fraction of the cost of the tourist spots, far more authentic, tastes more homemade, and very much worth your time. And you should be aware that the places in the centre of town generally do not sell by the slice, which everybody really should, but Frisco's does, and their slices are well worth the short trip out of town. One of the best pizza places in one of the best pizza cities on earth, and totally unheralded, undiscovered by tourists. The kind of hidden gem you should be visiting when you come to the state that knows how to Connect-the-cuts. No thanks, I'll skip that hipster bistro But I will use their restroom to p*ss, tho And when my bladder's empty I'll go straight where you sent me For the best pizza slices, from Frisco!

    One of the top Apizza spots in New Haven. The sauce is awesome, crust is crisp and chewy. Just the right amount of char. Meatballs are top notch. I highly recommend Frisco's for anyone wanting a great traditional New Haven Style Apizza. Also the garlic bread was full of garlic flavor and cooked perfectly, only could have used a little more cheese.

    I am changing my review to A1 even though their pizza is completely delicious and I love it when I walked in tonight to pick up my to go Pizza not one person wearing a mask. When I questioned why no one was wearing a mask ..the girl behind the counter said there's a piece of plastic up by the cash register I'm sorry this is not acceptable. Everyone else in the world is wearing a mask except for the workers at Frisco's. How disgusting

    Stuck between the laundry list of pizza places in CT? Trust me, this is the spot. I'm not from CT,…read morebut frequently visit due to my fiancée living here, and I've had plenty of pizza places that are widely known here. Modern Apizza in New Haven did NOT disappoint. The crust, flavor in each bite, the variety of toppings, and everything you want in a slice of pizza was there. It is a busy spot, but they definitely had the people to keep things pushing and our waitress was still attentive to us. We ordered a pizza with onions and hot cherry peppers as well as a margarita pizza (if a pizza place can't do a cheese pizza or margarita right, not the spot to eat). The ONLY problem I had was something was falling off the napkins, not sure what it was, and we didn't notice it until the end. It seemed to be from only one stack of napkins, but couldn't tell since it was too late by the time we noticed. If they're cheap quality napkins, definitely should replace, especially because it could have fallen all over the pizza. Again, that was the only downside, but life will go on nevertheless - and it's in a fight to take the #1 spot for pizza place in my book.

    When it comes to Connecticut apizza, conventional wisdom says there are three bucket-list spots you…read moremust try: Frank Pepe, Moderna, and Sally's. We managed to hit Frank Pepe's and Sally's on our New England summer holiday, and Sally's was easily the best of the two. While the Connecticut style overall didn't entirely meet the massive hype for me, my daughter absolutely loved it--in fact, Sally's was her single best bite of the entire trip! The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is that while it was very good, it wasn't earth-shattering, nor did it quite reach the heights of places like L'Industrie in NYC. We ordered the burrata pizza, half pepperoni. The sauce was packed with flavor, the burrata is always a total hit, and the pepperoni cupped perfectly to hold all those rich, flavorful oils. The crust was great--charred beautifully on the edges but a little moist and wiggly in the middle, heavily reminding me of Da Michele in Napoli. They also conveniently provide red pepper flakes, oregano, and Parmesan on the side so you can fix it up to taste. The ambiance is classic and cozy. It's a smaller establishment with booth-style tables lining both sides of the room. Because indoor seating is limited, you should absolutely expect to wait in a long line unless you plan ahead. We lucked out by timing our visit right between the lunch and dinner rush, meaning we snagged a spot in their dedicated parking lot and were seated immediately with zero wait. To top it off, the service was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. The amazing staff kept us constantly updated on our pies and created a genuinely fun, happy atmosphere throughout the meal. It's easily the best pizza we had in New England!

No pizza is worth a 2+ hour wait in line wrapped around several blocks. In response to people complaining about the way the staff talks to you - its just the way they talk. Connecticut people and Italians have a natural abrasive tone that you can't take super personally. I think the vast majority of negative comments are from out of towners but as a lifelong Connecticut native, I never was a fan. Pizza is always unappetizing and tasteless. Modern any day.

We arrived on a Monday around peak dinner time, but there was essentially no wait (apparently uncommon according to my friend -- just a delightful consequence of dining at a college town during the summer). We split a medium pizza (1/2 elote mexican street corn and 1/2 bbq brisket), proving to be more than enough for two plus a more than ample amount of leftovers. Recently, I've gravitated toward thinner pizzas, a far cry from the typical Detroit (foccacia-esque) style pizzas I used to prefer, and BAR's pizza is akin to a flatbread yet very thin, another fallen angel to the GLP's. The undercarriage boasts a brilliant crust, almost cracker-like. However, it should be noted that the pizza is indulgent all the same. The elote pizza is quite possibly the most memorable, unique pizza I've ever had; it arrives almost crimson-red with a generous layer of corn and takis atop. It's still incredibly well balanced despite the hodgepodge of varied toppings. It's hard to pick a favorite between this and the bbq brisket though; while one is incredibly unique the other is simply sumptuous, nothing pedestrian about either of the two. The service is also impeccable, almost rivaling that of southern hospitality. I always thought Californians were friendly but something is in the air every time I visit New Haven. Incredible!

One 6 Three is an unusual name - it's a small and cozy spot with few tables and bar seating, set in a residential neighborhood.

This place is small, unapologetic, and full of character. Decorative firewood stacked with intention, walls filled with wine corks, and #10 tomato cans repurposed as pizza stands. Walk in and you immediately catch the vibe, exposed brick, distressed plaster, a slightly industrial, almost factory-style feel that somehow still feels warm and welcoming. The centerpiece of the room is the wood-fired oven, running hot and glowing with that perfect orange flame. The aroma of burning wood hits you right away and sets the tone. From that moment on, the culinary experience is in motion. We ordered The Mootz and Breaking My Meatballs. Both pies are built on a very thin, tender crust with beautiful leoparding. The dough is flavorful and clearly well-fermented. Sauce is applied with restraint, just enough to support the dough and cheese without overpowering them, and it delivers a clean, bright tomato flavor. Breaking My Meatballs was the standout. Homemade meatballs, herbed ricotta, cherry peppers, mozzarella, and that same balanced sauce. The cherry peppers bring a sharp vinegar tang that cuts perfectly through the richness of the ricotta and meatballs. Every bite hits a different note, and it all works together. Easily one of my favorites. The crust across the board was thin and tender with a delicate smoky char from the wood fire, exactly what you want from this style. Bottom line: Great spot. Excellent pizza. Super friendly staff

    8 Thousand Pizza is a pizzeria and pour-your-own taproom that opened in Milford, Connecticut in…read moreNovember 2023. It was founded by restaurateurs Skye Kwok and Tommy Nguyen. Kwok has more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry. Some of the other restaurants he has opened include Sweet Basil in Fairfield, Pink Sumo Sushi & Sake Cafe in Westport, and Eat Noodle in Bridgeport. Kwok and Nguyen's latest venture opened at the Connecticut Post Mall in a restaurant space that was previously home to Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar, which specialized in tavern-style pizzas cooked in a cast-iron skillet. 8 Thousand Pizza offers this same style of pizza, but what sets them apart from the previous pizzeria is that they also offer self-pouring technology, which became legalized in Connecticut in 2021. The food menu features two dozen tavern-style pizzas as well as burgers, wings, fries, salads and soups. Through the use of a supplied electronic bracelet, customers can self-pour their own beverage from a selection of 28 craft beer taps and 6 wine taps. There's a two-pint or 32-ounce limit for the self-pours. I recently visited 8 Thousand Pizza for dinner. I had previously visited the space when it was Cast Iron Chef Kitchen & Bar and was sad to hear that they moved. However, this new business concept of a tavern-style pizzeria with self-pouring taps sounded very interesting to me. This was actually my first visit to a self-pouring taproom, as these types of establishments only just began opening in the state in the last few years. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Grandma's Tomato Pizza" (fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, roasted garlic, tomatoes and EVOO) and the "Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza" (tomato sauce, pepperoni, hot honey sauce and mozzarella cheese). The latter happens to be 8 Thousand's signature pizza. Both pizzas had crust so thin that it's almost cracker like; they didn't flop at all. They were super crispy with excellent sauce and toppings. I honestly can't decide which one I liked better; they were both very good. During my visit, I enjoyed some self-pours of Grey Sail Brewing's "Captain's Daughter" (Double New England IPA) and New Park Brewing's "Cloudscape" (American IPA). Delicious pizza with craft beer is always an excellent pairing! I had a really nice experience at 8 Thousand Pizza and I hope to return with my family.
