About the Project

The New Haven Pizza Project is a blog run by two pizza-loving Yale University seniors. Our goal is to spend the spring semester of 2009 hunting down the most delicious New Haven-style pizza in and around the Elm City, a.k.a. New Haven, Connecticut. We plan to review a dozen of the most traditional local pizza places: not just Pepe’s and Sally’s, the inescapable giants of Wooster Street, but also lesser-known gems. Eating our way through mounds of chewy crust and cheesy “mootz” (that’s mozzarella for you non-New Haveners), we will rate each pizzeria and develop what may be the sole comprehensive guide to New Haven’s best pizza places.
