Modern Apizza • 1934

The Italian Bomb—a molten masterpiece of bacon, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, and peppers—has drawn pilgrims to Modern Apizza since 1934, cementing its place in New Haven's famed pizza trinity. Baked in coal-fired brick ovens on State Street, this Wooster Square institution also turns out a stellar White Clam pie that rivals anything from its storied neighbors. The charred, blistered crust and old-school red booths keep the crowds coming nearly a century later.
