The overview
After years of operating as a food truck in various spots around the neighborhood, this local pie purveyor has found a home for its specialty crispy-crusted New Haven-style pizza.
The menu offers pies like the Tomato Pie—a classic New Haven staple with garlic, oregano, olive oil and pecorino on a blistered, thin crust. The Anchovy Pie builds on that same base with salty anchovies and capers for a bold, briny bite, while the Sausage & Peppers pie adds sweet peppers, Italian sausage and a touch of mozzarella, all without losing that signature coal-fired crunch.
Other menu items include salads, sodas, beer and wine options.
