Connecticut: Zuppardi's Apizza

In the pizza-famous New Haven area, Zuppardi’s Apizza in West Haven stands out as a legend dating back to the 1940s. This family-run pizzeria keeps its offerings simple and traditional, highlighting a classic “plain” pie topped with just tomato sauce, pecorino cheese, and fresh garlic, as well as their renowned white clam pizza made with freshly shucked clams and garlic. Regulars appreciate that old-school approach (you can even buy frozen Zuppardi’s pizzas to bake at home), though you can also customize your own pie with any toppings you like. With additional locations in a couple of nearby towns and a roaming pizza truck for events, Zuppardi’s longstanding reputation as one of Connecticut’s best is well-earned.
