    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

    Sausage and pepper pizza

    In absolutes gem. We tried to get into Sally's pizza which was a two hour wait and they were no longer excepting takeout orders. We found this pizza place and it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The staff was great. If you are in the New Haven Connecticut area this is a must. Clams casino pizza was out of this world

    This is the customer service you get when friscoes tells you their closing and then completely undercooks my pizza so that the dough is.

So we ventured out to the long venerated…read more(or so I understand) joint (some lady's name Pizza) only to find the line around the block. Clam pizza? Interesting but not that interesting. I had scoured Eater's New Haven section earlier that day and seen BAR mentioned for where to get apizza. We traveled into the quaint-ish New Haven core and parked on the street. Luckily, they had just opened, so we were seated upon arrival. We got two pies: the Clam Casino and the Portrait of New Haven. The PoNH was good. The ricotta was a nice contrast to the sausage and red peppers. The Clam Casino was worth the journey by itself, however. It turns out clams on a pizza is a great idea. Large whole clams and bacon with cherry peppers? Damned right. I wasn't familiar with New Haven brand ("apizza" as I've now been told), but the char on the bottom from the wood-fired oven is crucial at holding some topping combinations to a higher echelon than others (where it deflates others): see the other-worldly good Clam Casino versus this-could-be-better-without Portrait of New Haven. Regardless, the Clam Casino would be a go-to if I lived anywhere near here. The inside is huge. We sat in the main barroom. It was warehousey, but a pool table and picnic tables for large parties gave it a cool vibe. I enjoyed watching the bar staff have to hunch under the bar opening, which doesn't hinge up, as we waited for our discs 'o dough.

Ambiance: one star We visited during Friday afternoon and there's no wait. The table was sticky and shaky. Menus were dirty with spills from drinks or sauce. Would give higher stars if service is better. The pizza itself was not bad.

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

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.

However, the tomatoes on it were raw and that didn't feel very good. Also, there were no condiments offered on the side- like oregano- is that normal in a pizza place? Maybe I need to try more pizza places :)

    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.

He's friendly, a caring dad (the pizza is named after his three sons, and why you see three basils on each pizza), and he does this after he perfected the recipe during Covid and is now sharing it with the world. Crisp pepperonis (how I like them), addicting sauce, unique flavor combos, go see Joe. He knows what he's doing. Maybe a good thing I have to drive 45 min for this pizza because I'd otherwise be here every weekend. Definitely a pizza worth checking out!
