    GastroPark Menu
    Jason P.

    I'm leaving a review on Jam City Pizza's Hamden Brick & Mortar page, but I actually visited on Day 1 of their season-long residency at GastroPark Food Truck Park in West Hartford. Thursday through Sundays, but confirm the schedule before you go. Technically, Jam City's space at GastroPark is a tent rather than a truck. They have a wood burning stove in the tent area, and they're making Detroit Style Pizzas in the oven. If you don't know, that's a rectangular thicker pizza cooked in a pan, and it has a crispy cheese side. They also have a salad and cannoli's at GastroPark. If it's the same cannoli they serve in other parts of their business, it's amazing by the way. This was my first time enjoying Jam City, although Chef Tyler Demora also owns the Feelin Saucy Pasta Truck, which I love. Chef Tyler is a classically trained chef, but he's decided to take his talents to the food trucks and the Hamden brick and mortar, and that is definitely our gain. The GastroPark menu is an abbreviated version of the Hamden menu. So they did not have the Parliament Funghidelic I was hoping to order. I went with the Tim Timebomb, which is their version of a Margherita. They use the same delicious Sunday Sauce they use on the Feelin Saucy Truck. They spread it in two long rows the length of the pizza. I really like this, because the sauce isn't spread too thin and you can really taste it. They also zig zag pesto diagonally from corner to corner. Then they rain a storm of Romano over the top. The crust was perfect for Detroit. The sauces were awesome. The Romano was very good. The melting cheese used on the pizza has a different vibe. It seems like it may be a proprietary blend of cheeses. It's sharper than I'm used to for pizza. That's not good or bad, but I need another time or two to get used to it. Service was great. I love the GastroPark atmosphere. I can't wait to try more pizzas. 4.5 Stars

    This place is pretty cool and the pizza is really very good. I tried the Stratocaster and the Mcmars. The Stratocaster was a nice amount of heat from the little pepperoni cups holding their own oil and the sweetness of the hot honey was spot on. Now the Mcmars was excellent, it was better than a cheeseburger. The thinly shaved red onions and lettuce with the confit tomatoes that give a sweetness to the to the pickles and the sauce. If you like cheeseburgers then this is next level and should be tried.

    Such a fabulous archaic pizza oven that makes exceptional Detroit style pizzas

    Wow... all I say is never ever judge a book by its cover! Talk about a place that it's un presuming! Finding this jam city Pizza was a little bit of a chore, as their sign is really small affixed on the building but the building is easy to find being that stand smack center of this strip mall. You walked down a flight of stairs, so not really friendly to people with physical disabilities, so do bring some friends who can order your food and bring it to you because of this place is that much worth it! First off you see the place and you can tell that it's a big entertainment spot at night time. We came mid Saturday day and we were one of four different people to be waited on. Traffic is pretty consistent in this place so that's at the tone and excitement for us. We ordered one basic pizza, and we tried their wings. The gentleman behind the counter was an absolute dial, very accommodating, very patient, and really enjoys what he does and likes to share that passion with everyone... We love seeing that. Now let's get onto the business, the Pizza. First and foremost, the crust is decadent-nice crispy buttery crust that is so full of flavor, but yet light. The toppings are generous, but seem to hold well altogether. The drizzled pesto a fantastic edition to this pizza style. The wings were not wet like we like, typically, but they were so flavorful and yet so moist, we would order the same wings over again. So look forward to coming back and trying other eye catchers from this menu. Give this place a chance trust me you will be happy... Can't wait to go back.

    I went on a food adventure with my bf and let's say it did not disappoint. After seeing @Jimmyofficial Instagram post today within hours we appeared at Jam city pizza. I heard that the bartender was amazing and she was. Sophie is effortlessly funny. I loved seeing her engage with customers as she went to and from the kitchen. She definitely has a way of making you smile. She's very personable. We had the Calabria chicken with hot honey wings. They were so flavorful. Cooked to perfection They weren't overly huge. They were small and melt in your mouth delicious. The sauce drizzled on top tasted as if it was honey mustard which complimented the wings SO well!. We chose to order the Tim Timebomb as a classic and the Secks supreme. We loved the classic over the secks. The basil puree is amazing! We had left overs that warmed up perfectly in the toaster oven. We didn't have enough room for dessert but we will be back to try the desserts. Thank you Jam city! The restaurant gives speakeasy vibes but they have two different entrances. One for when they have night entertainment (the ramp) and the stairs is the main entrance you should enter through.

    It's a bold idea to make Detroit style pizzas in the pizza capital of the country. New Haven is the benchmark for pizza perfection. In a city that has summited the peak of pizza mountain, a new beast has been born. One that honers the heritage of Italian pizza while being the antithesis of Americana. Jam City Pizza is the name of this monster. The crispy Detroit style crust, and the masterful combination of flavors concocted by chef Tyler Demora make this pizzeria a must try. Head down to the cellar on treadwell and enjoy some music or have a laugh with friends. The leftovers I had did not survive the night.

    Olde World Brick Oven Apizza is a New Haven-style pizzeria that opened in North Haven, Connecticut…read morein 1995. It was founded by business partners Bill McCarthy and Joe Houde. McCarthy started making pizza at the age of 13. He received his training by working at local pizzerias such as La Bella's and Sorrento's. Once he reached adulthood, he started a career with the railroad. He worked with the railroad for several years until a physical injury caused him to retire. He went back to pizza-making when he started an eight-year stint at the popular Modern Apizza in New Haven. Eventually, he and Houde partnered up to open their own pizzeria. After 30 successful years, McCarthy and Houde decided to retire and sell the pizzeria. In April 2026, Olde World reopened under the ownership of business partners and chefs Robert Marcarelli, Jared Schulefand and Isarel Lopez. Marcarelli actually started his career working at Olde World, before going on to study at the Lincoln Culinary Institute. Schulefand started his career working as a busboy at Modern Apizza, before going on to study at Johnson and Wales University. He now owns Home Restaurant in Branford. Marcarelli & Schulefand both have their own restaurant consulting business (Pi Restaurant Consulting), and they co-own Supreme Seafood in North Branford, the Shanty in Branford, the Galley in Guilford, and NEBCO Kitchen in Branford. Lopez was a longtime pizzaiolo at Next Door Pizzeria in New Haven and nearly bought it before a deal fell through and it closed. In addition to New Haven-style thin crust apizza, Olde World also makes calzones, Italian entrees, pasta dishes, subs, stuffed breads and salads. I recently visited Olde World after they re-opened under the new ownership. I had eaten their pizza multiple times over the years and always loved it. How would the pizza taste now with the "new guys"? The new partners prepared a variety of different pies and dishes for my small group to sample. The classic "Mozzarella" (red sauce, mozzarella, pecorino) still tasted just as good as it ever did. In addition to the classic offerings, the partners have added some more modern twists to the menu, such as "Mashed Potato" (white, mashed potato, caramelized onions, bacon, garlic), "Crab Rangoon Pie" (white sauce, crème fraîche, imitation crab, sweet chili drizzle), and "Spring Fling" (asparagus, seacoast maitake mushrooms, ramp pesto, mozzarella, goat cheese, Szechuan chili honey). The latter (a special of the month) was my favorite of the tasting! We were also treated to some "Penne, Sausage & Broccoli Rabe" and "Burrata Salad" (asparagus, spicy capitol, herb marinated artichokes, tomato confit, baby greens, garlic crumb, balsamic truffle). Paired with some local Foxon Park sodas, we were treated to quite the feast! Not only is the food just as good as it ever was... it's even better now! I must tip my hat to our excellent hosts. I plan on coming back again and again!

There's about 8 booths- It's a bit on the small side but the food was fantastic. Hubby and I were born and raised in NYC. It's been so long we've had really good pizza. John and Steve brought out pie after pie. We had the plain, plain with grated cheese, tomato with fresh mozzarella, clam with bacon, mangia special, Stevie Gs apple pizza, mashed potato pizza. We brought in our homemade suppi and they put it on some of our pies. We also tried the eggplant Parmesan and garlic knots. The plain pies, mashed potato, and the mangia special were my favorites but really everything there was top notch. There is nothing that I wouldn't order again. The crust is nice and crunchy. Good char on it. Sauce was delicious - not sour like straight from a can. Toppings were better than I expected for a small pizza spot. Sausage was tasty. Mushrooms were fresh not tinned, fresh tomatoes and basil. Tons of clams on the pizza. Bacon was thick sliced and left almost whole. Eggplant was sliced thin. Generous with the toppings. Even better than their pizza- is their service. It was my first time meeting them and I felt like an old friend. They were so friendly, chatted with us, told us stories -- we really had a good time. The older gentleman who brought out the food and took away the empty trays was very thorough- checked in on us regularly. Mangia Apizza is easy to miss - connected to Vick's Cafe (really it's a bar). Stop in and grab a pizza. You won't be sorry. And if you want someone to talk your ears off - stop in and eat at a booth. I wish they were closer!!

    Today, we made a stop at One6Three, tucked into the East Rock section of New Haven, where it's been…read moreholding down its corner for about ten years. 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. We tried the gluten free crust (available only in 12") American margherita pie and added mushrooms in half of it. The wood fired crust was well done, I really liked it. Lots of garlic, yum. 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 :)
