Incredible. I thought Modern Apizza was the top dog around here, then it tried Olde World's Bacon…read morePie -- it was significantly better than Moderns (more bacon, thinner cut, saltier, crispier, unbelievable). Then I compared their garlic & onion to Moderns by ordering them both and trying them side by side. Again, Olde World's was significantly better (and much less expensive mind you). Overall if I had to compare the two (bc Modern has always been my top choice around here) I'd compare the following ... Cheese flavor: Modern Undercarriage: Olde World Dough: Olde World Crust: Modern Toppings: Olde World Price: Olde World Of those 6 important categories, Olde World wins 4 of them. We'll be going here from now on.

We absolutely loved this place before the change in ownership. We bought so many pizzas here, we…read morethought we might be becoming part-owners. The first pizza or 2 after the change were up to the old standard. Since then, however, we have had several sub-par pies. It seems like they are still using quality ingredients, but it's now a very different pizza. The crust and sauce at Olde World were previously great. Both are now significantly off in our opinion. They simply don't taste the same. The sauce is not balanced and sometimes leaves an aftertaste. The crust can often be a little too thick and it lacks the taste we had grown accustomed to, both from Olde World and the usual faves in New Haven. We have been displeased enough to stop going here. As many previous reviews have mentioned, it used to be a New Haven-quality pie without having to go into New Haven. We're sorry to say that's no longer the case in our opinion.

Rating: 5 stars I…read morehadn't ordered from DiMatteo's in about 8-10 years, but I'm so glad I gave it another shot, it was absolutely worth it. I got a small cheese pizza with tomato and fresh basil, and it was delicious. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor. No complaints, no need for adjustments--just great pizza done right. I placed the order through DoorDash and picked it up in person. The staff was friendly, the place looked clean, and my order was ready right on time--fresh and hot. Can't ask for more than that. I'm already thinking about my next pizza from here. Definitely a solid spot in Hamden if you're craving classic, well-made pizza.

I can't believe this is my first time trying the pizza. I'm a New Haven native and I've visited…read morethis plaza more than I can count. I don't know if I ever visited as a child, but I don't think so. I had a taste for pizza, but by the slice & since I was already in Hamden and learned that they have slices, I decided to give them a try. So happy I did. I love options. They have some great selections with meat, but I no longer eat meat so I opted for two cheese slices. It totaled to six dollars and change, and you need to spend $10 to use your debit card so I selected a veggie slice with spinach, roasted red peppers and eggplant. I was greeted immediately by a nice lady working behind the counter. She warmed up the selected slices, and I just observed the atmosphere. It's a cute spot, decent amount of seating. It looks like they offer espresso and wine. They also had packaged dessert items for your sweet tooth. They also have the pizza topping staples: red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, etc. The sauce is a little sweet, but I did enjoyed it. The veggie slice did not have red sauce, so if you enjoy spinach bread, you would probably enjoy that slice. It was a good experience. I found parking easily. It was nice and clean inside. When I want pizza by the slice, I will definitely keep them in mind. The slices are huge by the way. I could barely finish two. So happy to have the 3rd for leftovers.

And we sure found a good one in Hamden on Friday. We saw refrigerated cases full of pastas and raviolis, counters with trays of pizzas, showcases with trays of prepared foods like sausage and oeooers, eggplant rollatinis, and seafood marinara, a sandwich counter for cold cuts, and a baked goods counter. We narrowed our want list down to three very different items. We bought two slices of their sausage pizza, two garlic knots, and three eggplant rollatinis. The pizza was fantastic! Super thin crust, plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of cheese, a very good sauce and delicious sausage chunks. Oh, and the slices were enormous. We made a dinner out of the eggplant and garlic knots. The eggplant was sliced so thin, and was so soft and tender, it resembled lasagna noodles! The rollatinis were loaded with ricotta cheese and marinara sauce and it was a fantastic dish. We split the three rolls and let me tell ya, one and a half rolls were plenty for dinner. The garlic knots were ridiculously loaded with garlic, not teeny tiny shavings, but big hunks of garlic cloves. Needless to say, they were fantastic as well. Our total cost was $24.66, and Sapori threw in four complimentary slices of fresh Italian bread with our order. We really loved Sapori a lot.

We had the ricotta and honey on toast, meatballs, prosciutto/mozzarella to start, some white wine and of course PIZZA! The pizza was light and cooked perfectly. We had the Dolce Salato and the Diavolina. We loved the Dolce Salato! The Diavolina was good, but I think some more spicy salami or maybe an additional spicy component would have been a good addition to the pizza. It needed just a little bit more on the flavor side. But still everything here is high quality and I would recommend! Service was excellent. We were immediately seated and had the option to sit inside or outside. I first sat inside, then we moved to a larger table outside. What I really appreciated as a new mom, was their openness and flexibility for coming in with a stroller. I was nervous to be a burden to the restaurant, but they were super accommodating. Thank you On room for improvement, I think on a hot day, having the inside space being much much cooler, than the outdoor seating (especially for newborns/really young kids/elderly) would be beneficial. Yesterday it was cool inside to start (and remember I chose to move outside), but they started to leave the front door open to allow for easy movement of staff and guests between inside and outside, which made the indoor space get warmer over time. And I totally get that for the ease of movement for staff/guests, but maybe consider keeping it super cool on the inside, so that kiddos/elderly have a cool space on a really hot day to not overheat. The vibe here is great. Chill, warm and light! Come with family and/or friends and enjoy!

One convenient thing about ordering to go is that there's a side door right by the parking lot, so you can order without having to go inside the restaurant. The pizza itself was good and definitely above average, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. The crust was very floppy, and the pizza was extremely greasy. The thin cardboard takeout box didn't help either as the oil soaked straight through, making the whole thing pretty messy to handle. Overall, it's a solid pizza, but nothing that really stood out to us as special or unique. Maybe worth trying if you're exploring New Haven pizza, but personally, I wouldn't wait 25 minutes for it again as we have many better options on nyc.

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!!
