Today, we made a stop at One6Three, tucked into the East Rock section of New Haven, where it's been holding 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

Our fourth time passing through New Haven and the debate for best pizza in New Haven still rages on. This is a smaller space compared to the more popular places and no wait for a weekday lunch. The space is adorable, especially the outdoor area, more of a traditional pizzeria feel. We tried the King Pie, White Clam, wings and pig candy. First thing first, the clam pizza was good, but Pepe's was better. I really liked the King Pie, not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea with peanut butter, I thought it was really good (like a warm PB & J). The wings were well season and tender. The pig candy was definitely a big hit. Would love to come back and try more pies.

Grandma's Pie

Nice and quick service if you don't want to wait on an hour line for the other guys. Ordered a 12 inch grandma pie with hot cherry peppers for myself, nice and light. Didn't feel like I ate a whole pie actually surprised I did end up finishing. The sauce is tangy, light on the cheese for a grandma, I did have to add some parm myself, but really nice otherwise.Place feels very old school but with a new school twist, great fun pie options. They do offer outside seating, not much space indoors.

An okish first time visit. I wanted to try a new pizza place in New Haven for a birthday and chose this one. But the food didn't feel like a celebration, in my opinion. 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 :)

Just awesome. Pizza was outstanding. Great service. Good vibe. I ordered extra cheese not sure I needed it. This shop was off the main roads and worth the trip.

In a town with way too many amazing pizza options, one six three is towards the top of my list. They have so many fun, thoughtful pies, and the pizza itself is so well-executed. I have almost always done takeout and recently dined in for the first time. What a great experience! It's a small restaurant but the vibe is super warm and welcoming. They also let you BYOB so we enjoyed our pizza over a bottle of wine, making for a super lovely evening.

One 6 Three is a New Haven-style pizzeria that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in February 2016. It was founded by Andrew Holmes and his girlfriend Alexa Flagge (with the help of her parents Jack & Janet). Holmes began his journey in the pizza-making business when he started working at a Seymour pizzeria owned by two Albanian immigrants. He worked his way up from cleaning to cooking and eventually took jobs at other restaurants. Holmes then found himself working for Jack & Janet Flagge, owners of the Old World Pizza Truck. In the catering business since 1980, the Flagges started their pizza truck business in 2007. Holmes began dating the Flagges' daughter Alexa, and the couple soon had a dream to open their own pizzeria. They found a location at 163 Foster Street, in New Haven's East Rock neighborhood, that had previously been home to Angelo's Pizza. Holmes knocked down the wall that hid the kitchen in order to help his new pizzeria build connections between the workers and customers. In addition to pizza, the menu also offers sandwiches, wings, meatballs, fries, mac & cheese, salads, and more. My two sons and I recently visited One 6 Three for lunch. We had been cycling around New Haven and were in the mood for some pizza. One 6 Three has been on my radar for a while. It's part of a growing number of pizzerias located in the Goatville section of East Rock. After locking up my bicycle outside, we headed inside and grabbed a table. My sons and I really enjoyed the open kitchen set-up; we love watching people cook. After looking over the menu, we decided to order and share "The Mootz" (hand-crushed tomato sauce & mozzarella) with half pepperoni, "Potato Head" (a thin layer of our mashed potatoes as the base, sautéed onions, smoked bacon, four cheeses & a sprinkle of scallions), and "Grandma's" (hand-crushed tomato sauce, fresh garlic, fresh basil & grated pecorino romano cheese). Great sauce, crust and toppings! I would say that these pies are sort of a hybrid between classic New Haven-style pizza and tavern-style pizza. Our favorite was probably "Grandma's". We all give One 6 Three our seal of approval!

I really enjoyed this pizza! I got a personal size Grandma's pie no fresh garlic, light baked. The crust was nice and crispy without being too charred. Reasonably priced, too. I would def return to try their other pies.

White clam pizza

I had the white clam pizza last night, and it was the most delicious pizza I've ever had! I wasn't planning on eating the entire 12 inch pizza by myself, but it was too good to resist! I look forward to having it again.

Potato Head Pie

My husband and I called in our order for pick up tonight. It was our first time trying One 6 Three after hearing good things from friends. We ordered the Potato Head Pie and the Chicken Parm sandwich. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes which is fast! The food was good and the individuals who work there are nice. It was a good experience and we will be returning again.

My daughter and I decided to come here for dinner and I'm glad we did. When we arrived there was no seating inside so we dined outside because there was no more seating inside. Which was fine because it was beautiful evening. We ordered a large half Pepperoni and Cheese pizza and Cheese Curds. The Cheese Curds were delicious. They we're crispy, flavorful, and the dipping sauce was just the right touch to bring that flavorful profile up. It seem like the Cheese Curds had a garlic bread breading which was very innovative. The pizza was delicious as my daughter and I only left two slices to bring home. The pizza was a nice size pizza and I'm glad we ordered a large pizza. The pizza was crispy and had that crunch factor which I love. The pepperoni on top of the pizza was like bacon. I think was my favorite part of pizza. The sauce was awesome as it was also flavorful and brought the whole pizza together. The customer service was great and the staff we're so kind because as we're sitting outside, we had a couple of bee's swarm are pizza. We were fighting them off but two staff employees came outside and helped pick up are things to escort us inside as seating became available. The staff are so gracious and the kids and I will definitely be back.

4.5 stars. I came here on a Friday afternoon and there wasn't too many people at the time. This spot is relatively close to the Yale campus so it was a pretty convenient spot to hit up after my brother was done with all of his meetings. They offer a variety of pretty cool pizzas, with different varieties of topping combinations. I wish I had the stomach space to try all of them. The pizzas were made very well and it was extremely satisfying to eat. The flavor of the toppings, sauce, cheese, and crust were well balanced and the portion size was pretty solid. My party had a total of three people and we ordered two pizzas and a side of fries. We were unable to finish, I think we ordered enough for four people. For their fries, they have a variety of sauces to select from and I believe you get three choices. Our server was very friendly and it was overall just a great vibe.

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.

Having already tried Frank Pepe's up the street, this was stop number two on my quest through New Haven's legendary "Big Three." ​We arrived around 8:00 PM on a Wednesday evening on our drive back to RI from Pennsylvania, hoping the line wouldn't be too bad, knowing they closed at 9:00 PM. Luckily, there were only about a dozen people ahead of us, and we were seated by 8:30 PM. The place only has about 15 to 20 tables inside, but they do a fantastic job turning them over, and the host was super friendly and professional right from the start. ​The dining room has that perfect old-school feel - clean, warm, and completely inviting. Our server, Jessica V., was exceptional. Even though it was the end of what was likely a long shift, she was cheerful, super friendly, and attentive. My partner, feeling dehydrated after our long drive, requested a pitcher of water, and Jessica was happy to bring one out to her. ​We ordered a Large Mozzarella & Tomato Sauce Pie, and it was as close to pizza perfection as you can get. You could tell right away that they use top-quality ingredients. The vibrant sauce and mozzarella balanced each other out beautifully on a nicely charred, coal-fired crust. We completely devoured the entire thing, and it easily earned a spot in the top three pizzas I've ever had in my life. To go with the pie, I had a Two Roads "Two Juicy Zero" non-alcoholic beer, which was super refreshing and ideal since we still had a two-hour drive ahead of us. ​In my humble opinion, I give a very slight edge to Sally's over Pepe's, though I'd probably need to try them side by side to make a final call. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we loved every minute of it. A huge thank you to Jessica and the Sally's team! We will definitely be back the next time we're passing through!

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!

Based on a recommendation, four friends and I visited for an earlier dinner on Cinco de Mayo (yes,…read morewrong type of cuisine, but we were in town and this restaurant was on our list.) BAR is an interesting restaurant: open air, picnic tables, open space, paper plates, no utensils unless you ask for them, etc. We were greeted right away by a less than friendly waiter who seemed peeved we didn't have a drink to order right away. Strike one. After a few minutes, everyone put their drink order in and I asked if the bartender could make me a mojito since it wasn't on the menu. The waiter said yes, so I waited. Then came the mojito. It was the worst "mojito" I've tasted in my life. I'm not one to send a drink back because of an "I don't taste any alcohol" excuse, but this was BAD. It tasted like margarita mix with lime and mint sprigs thrown in. It was absolutely terrible. When I double checked with the waiter if the drink was an original mojito he simply said yes, not "is something wrong with the drink?" or "would you like to send it back?" The drink was so bad I told him I couldn't drink it. He was peeved again. Strike two. I asked for a soft drink instead and the soda was flat (strike 3), but at this point I just needed something to drink... because who wants to have water with their pizza? Then came the time to make a dinner choice. My mission was to try the mashed potato pizza. It was hands down AMAZING!! Mashed potatoes and bacon on a pizza. Yes, please!! This was the only saving grace from my experience. I would return to BAR again if only for that pizza! Two of my friends had the clam pizza and the pepperoni/mushroom. Both enjoyed their own! Warming: New Haven pizza is thin crust. I got two meals out of a small, so if you visit with a group, consider ordering a few small pizzas so you can taste a few. I would've given BAR 4 or 5 stars, but the unpleasant waiter, the "mojito," and the flat sofa made for a trifecta, so I'm giving my visit 3 stars. If I find myself in New Haven again, I'll be back! Hopefully my next update will be 5 stars!

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.

Took the Family here for a Saturday lunch. Got a meatball pizza and a margarita pizza. Both were…read moremade well. The beer system is interesting and you pour your own beer. Paying by the ounce. Service was nice and attentive. But you have to go up to the counter to order. Many of the betas were out or empty. I did like that. They had a wide selection of glasses available for the different styles of beer.

Absolutely phenomenal pizza. Very much NY style but done the old school way, which honestly isn't…read morethat far off from a lot of New Haven style. We've gotten everything from specials to a plain here and it all slaps. Joe is also a super friendly guy. Located in Old Heidelberg as a plus (only on weekends, check their IG for latest schedule), with some good cocktails and a solid dingy vintage basement bar vibe.

Entering New Haven Pizza scene with a buzz is Three Sons Pizza. You can only get this delicious pie…read moreon Fridays or Saturdays at the Old Heidelberg inside the Graduate New Haven (see their Instagram for the latest schedule!) Now let me tell you...THE SAUCE. I dream about it. It's enough where one night my husband and I craved pizza and I said we had to drive to New Haven to see Joe and crush a pepperoni pizza. If they have the tomato pie? GET IT. The rare Kale white pie? A vegetarian's dream. Keep an eye on the Instagram for which pizzas are coming out and how many. I came in a different night after going out in New Haven with a group and we snagged the last pizza at about 9:30pm, only 2 hours after they began service. Joe is also just fantastic. 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!

I ordered takeout and it was absolutely delicious. It arrived really hot too. The falafel was…read morecrunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The hummus was legit and so was the TAMARI. I enjoyed this meal thoroughly. I was brought promptly and hot.

It was my first time here. My better half has been here quite a few times in the past, and always…read morespoke highly of it. Mediterranean is not my jive but it seemed like a good spot for a date night. Seemed. We were seated quickly, which was nice. It wasn't what I'd consider busy, but apparently it was busy for them on this particular night of service. Took about 15min from the time we were seated to have our order taken. Better half says it is usually more calming and intimate. Tonight absolutely was not that. It gives... Starbucks, if it served Mediterranean food... like, no coffee. With teacup candles. Real ones. (fire code???) I ordered the wings, with low expectations. Anyone that knows me and my heart also knows how I feel about a good wing. These wings were not that. They came out looking exactly how I anticipated them to based on what I saw in previous reviews (and the item description, which, shockingly, was painfully accurate) -- sad, and beige. First bite revealed various shades of pink, although the skin was seasoned nicely. I'm partial against this style of chicken wing so its hard for me to give it any credit... moving on. I also had the chicken kebab sandwich... which isn't really a sandwich. Its more of a ... gyro? I liked it. The chicken in the sandwich was really nice. Cooked well, definitely cooked better than the wings. Wish the cuts/pieces were smaller though. It was nice and hot, but also kind of wet, I guess from steam? It came wrapped in sort of a parchment paper, that was also wet. And the closer I got to the end, the more liquid dripped out from the bottom. Water mixed with tomato, other spices and whatnot... it wasn't pretty. I got less and less interested as I made progress. Better half got the Merguez Kebab Sandwich/gyro thing. Similar to my Chicken Kebab, the cuts of meat were huge however it was just hard to come to terms with the notion that they were each fully cooked through, and it was also... wet. More wet than my Chicken Kebab. She didn't finish it, and I don't blame her. The hummus was nice. The pita was hot and fresh. You could see some of the char from the skillet it was made in, which was nice. Unfortunate that either are individual at-cost appetizers (although looking at my receipt, I can infer that the first pita was included with the hummus as I was only charged for one and we had two). I don't think I will be returning there on my own volition. Maybe tonight was a bad night, and that happens sometimes. The staff were certainly nice, and considering it was a Saturday evening, the volume of patrons is worth appreciation. It wasn't rowdy, the music was nice, the ceiling fan blades passing over one of the ceiling lights drove me crazy a little bit, but it is a nice place. I'm just a little let down that this was how my Saturday night dinner went. I'm still hungry, dawg. There was also a woman in scrubs(?) or some sort of inpatient-wear that walked past the restaurant outside, locked eyes with the folks at a table, smiled and waved, and slowly meandered away until she came back to walk in the other direction. Not sure what that was about, but its typical New Haven shit. Stranger things have happened, lol! TLDR if you're not super picky/sensitive about your food and you're a big (gotta be big) fan of Mediterranean Fusion food, I absolutely recommend RAWA. Otherwise... hard pass -- for me, at least. Respectfully.
