Modern Apizza Menu

Modern Apizza Restaurant Review:

While Modern Apizza may not be as renowned and storied as some of the hallowed parlors down on Wooster Street, you'll find no shortage of New Havenites, who take their pizza extremely seriously, swearing that the pies served here are every bit as good, if not better. The joint may be wanting in the looks department --- it's as unassuming as they come --- but it compensates with what matters most: taste, from crispy, cheese-laden garlic bread to overstuffed design-your-own calzones. Still, thin crust, brick-oven pizza is the main event. Basic toppings are available, but we're enamored with seafood-smothered specialty pies like the clams casino: a white pie charred black (but it never tastes burnt) and bubbled at the edges per local tradition and heaped with clams, peppers and thick, juicy whole strips of bacon. Bacon is the star of the Italian Bomb, too, with co-stars pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers and garlic, making each slice practically a meal.
