A House of Pizza Waits for You in New Haven

“We’ve recreated the New Haven Apizza experience with our super cozy and unique space,” the hosts said about their listing. “Enjoy an incredibly custom and eclectic space in the heart of the New Haven Apizza scene.”

Jason, the host, is a New Haven local and small-business entrepreneur who wanted to create a unique space for visitors to fully enjoy the New Haven Experience as it is meant to be enjoyed: surrounded by Apizza.

And if you’re wondering what “Apizza” is, it’s the term for thin-crust, coal-fired Neapolitan pizza that is typically found in New Haven.

A vintage dining booth sits in the eating area next to the jukebox, underneath the Coca-Cola menu sign.

The Best of South Shore Bar Pizza

There's pizza, and then there's South Shore Bar Pizza. Birthed in Brockton (and to this writer, perfected in Randolph – Lynwood Café is the true G.O.A.T.), it must meet certain qualifications to be considered "SSBP," which include: it's a 10-inch pie; it has a thin, cracker-like crust with minimal "flop;" the cheese is a blend that features more cheddar than mozzarella; and bonus points if you take it home between two carboard-type plates wrapped in flat brown paper bag. They also usually come with "laced" or "burnt" edges (terminology depends on where you are ordering), which is when the sauce and cheese are extended all the way to the edge of the pan, creating a crispy, flavorful coating to the crust. We reached out to the hugely popular South Shore Bar Pizza Social Club Facebook group to ask the experts to share the best of the best (in no particular order).
