I’m from ny and it’s hard to find good ny style pizza places nearby. Sure there’s Pepe’s and modern but that’s a different style.

You're out of your mind if you think Sbarro represents ny pizza.
Best I've tried in the area that's NY style is Gia Marie's in East Haven. Depending on where you are in Hamden, probably 10-15 min ride

New Haven style pizza is world famous you know. It's not a joke. It's the best pizza in the world.

I been living near New Haven for 6 years. Being from New York, sometimes I want that style lol
Resurgemus t1_jc4q5jg wrote
Ok. Well... I can't recommend any ny style but Dimatteos in Hamden has great pizza. Not quite New Haven style, not quite NY, but excellent.

Sapori is great. Also try Olde World on Whitney, they’ve got a great pie too. If you don’t mind a little drive, I think Rossini’s in Cheshire beats out any of the famous New Haven joints. Their sausage and pepper pie is to die for.
DrewSharpvsTodd t1_jc4bswo wrote
I would classify Olde World as New Haven style

I mean, when you get down to it, New Haven style basically tastes like NY style with more flavor, right?
/s (partially)

Aside from Pepe’s and Sally’s, and maybe some more char-focused newcomers like Nolo, most other places aren’t that different from GOOD NY style. The problem is most people expect pretty crap pizza when they think NY style.

DeMatteo’s in Hamden, Michaelangelos near Yale Bowl or Cappetta’s in West Haven. Dayton St. in Westville says Apizza but it’s not NH style. Google them and see if that’s what you’re looking for.
Resurgemus t1_jc4qmm3 wrote
I wholeheartedly agree about Dimatteos. Not NH or NY quite but excellent. Cappettas has ok pizza, excellent food in general, imo.
adramgooddrink t1_jc58n2v wrote
Capetta's grinders are damn good.
Resurgemus t1_jc58zhh wrote
They really are.

Sapori D’Italia I’m hamden is run by the same family as Michaelanelos FYI
HighwayCactus t1_jc7685m wrote
I agree about DiMatteo’s in Hamden - my partner grew up on Long Island and says it’s the closest to Long Island style pizza around here. It’s also super cozy and has been around for forever.

Sapori D’italia!

Marco Polo and Yorkside in New Haven.
For Hamden, there's Sorrento's on Skiff Street and Paul and Eddy's on Whitney. I prefer Sorrento's, and they actually make a decent Sicilian. Paul and Eddy's does single slices but only between like noon-1pm. Am originally from New Jersey, so I get the sentiment totally.

You are correct about Sorrentos( that sauce!!!)
libraintjravenclaw t1_jc57wzm wrote
Seconding Marco Polo! The owner is super sweet too.
DrewSharpvsTodd t1_jc4bkjb wrote
Paul and Eddy’s. I am a pizza snob. It is good.
Resurgemus t1_jc4qfvu wrote
New Haven style. Excellent though.
brewski t1_jc7x7ab wrote
Surprised to see that opinion by a "pizza snob".I've eaten there plenty since my kids seem to like the ambiance. Respectable pizza. Out in any Midwestern suburb it would be far and above the best pizza for hundreds of miles. But around here, it's probably like #20 on my list. Behind Mangia, Olde World, Odie's, Eli's, Ernie's, Zuppardi's, Dayton St, even Da Legna.
DrewSharpvsTodd t1_jc854x0 wrote
Eli’s is shit lmao. What are you talking about.
brewski t1_jc89gr6 wrote
You are the only adult I know who rates Paul and Eddie's as anything better than average for this region. Eli's took over the historic Bimonte's place and didn't change much. It's not top tier but I'll take it over Paul and Eddie's any day or the week. Cheese, sauce, crust. Better in every respect.

DePalma’s in East Haven
Morgan_3D t1_jc4en39 wrote
second for paul and eddies. its consistant. Olde world is good too but more new haven style

Sergio's Pizza on Rt 10 in Hamden, closer to Cheshire.
WeirdFrog t1_jc3uowv wrote
My go-to when I was in the area was Falcon Pizza, maybe not the best in the area but it was nearby and pretty good, great garlic knots.

Zeneli’s is more of a Napolitano than NY but it’s excellent
Stonedpicking t1_jc543l9 wrote
Inferno in North Haven is excellent and more NY style imo
MochaUnicorn369 t1_jc55k9k wrote
You looking for a Koronet style slab? Not sure where you’d find that. I’d say Bellini is kinda New Yorkish. Their calzones are the best too.
MochaUnicorn369 t1_jc55rqx wrote
Grand Apizza North on route 5 in North Haven might be more New Yorkish. Good pie.
DaddyWarBucks26 t1_jc58ery wrote
DJs in Shelton is solid
curbthemeplays t1_jc5s7dz wrote
Ernie’s is NY-ish IMO.

You should try new place Superior Whitney pizza in Hamden
PhaseAccomplished869 t1_jc7golv wrote
You should give Sallys apizza a try
liskd t1_jce6pki wrote
Fairfield Pizza in Stratford or Planet Pizza in Shelton are real slice joints as you'd see in the closer NY suburbs (Westchester/Long Island/ North Jersey).

Have you tried Yorkside?
TheMusicGenome t1_jc43wxf wrote
Yorkside is Greek pizza. Not NY style.
heathercs34 t1_jc45kqt wrote
100% Greek, but closer to NY than New Haven?
TheMusicGenome t1_jc46lxv wrote
Closer but not quite right. It’s been a couple years since I’ve been in the regular NHV scene but I would probably suggest Est Est Est being closer to a NY style pie than Yorkside.
bluethread32 t1_jc4cm8r wrote
Greek is definitely not closer to NY style than New Haven Style
