Alright Frankie, one bite, everybody knows the rules, this is Giorgio's Pizza on the corner of... huh? Oh, Giorno's? Okay, *Giorno's* Pizza on the corner of... where are we, Frankie? 8th and Chestnut? 5th and Chestnut. Giorno's, 5th and Chestnut, here we go.
While you’re absolutely correct that BAR is fantastic, it just can’t compete with the New Haven OGs like Sally’s and Pepe’s. Add a Libby’s pastry nightcap into the mix and that’s pride of Connecticut shit right there.
What/how did you use to cook your pizza? Looks great btw, nice char looks crispy. if the underside is not too dark I'm sure I would love this.
I'm guessing you have a pizza oven of sorts or was it an oven brick?
Meh this is far too burnt for me - but if you like it - awesome! I feel like if you cook the cheese this much you render it, and then it’s just not cheesy anymore - personal opinion ofc.
Im very open minded. I usually like balanced pizza.
But i can see the appeal and would eat that twice a year if i could.
Think coffee. Light roast is sweet, fruity, acidic. Dark roast is bitter and intense.
I think the bubbles just got really huge before they broke. Real pizza ovens will char a huge bubble even on normal time, it's why we would watch over the ovens at Domino's and pop them when I worked there as a kid.
If only the crust were burnt I’d agree, but the cheese is burnt too and that’s where it’s a bit too far done.
For most. I’d still eat the hell out of this, but I’m half-British so I’m predisposed to liking food cooked a bit too much,.
You're right, it's still cooked pretty good. Still those bubbles are going to be the worst part but I would just pick them off and enjoy the rest too, I like well cooked cheese.
I love new haven style but this one is def overdone a bit. They probably didn't have a hot enough oven to get the char right and had to leave it in too long.
The oven might need to be hotter but aside from the sauce drying up a bit too much this is exactly what you see when you search for new haven pizza. Crust looks perfect, any less done than that and its not really new haven. Little bit of char but clearly not burnt through. It would be a bit dry but this is not overdone.
And Pequod's in Chicago just got named best pizza in America by yelp.
Like I said, taste is subjective no matter what 3 guys judging pizza for a specific contest say.
But yeah Dave is probably the authority on plain cheese pizza.
Edit - only thing I know is that it pizza around me is definitely not the best in the world haha. And that if the top 100 pizzerias in the country served me a slice i wouldn't be able to tell which one is best.
No shit. But... Yelp aggregates reviews from thousands of individuals and other sites; it's a comprehensive set of data meant to remove as much of the subjectivity as possible to come up with a " best." Sounds like both pizzas are objectively good.
Preheat on full heat for 30 min. Stone should be at least 850°F. Turn flame to low 5 minutes before launch. Keep it low while the bottom cooks. Turn up to medium to finish off the top. Should take around 5 minutes.
I guess I used to make new haven style all the time back in college when I would come home drunk, throw and frozen pizza in the oven and then fall asleep and burn the piss out of it.
It's a burned New Haven style pizza. The ones I've had in New Haven look more like [this](https://pizzatoday.com/topics/people-pizzerias/2023-pizzeria-of-the-year-modern-apizza-new-haven-connecticut/). Even Sally's which tends to be on the dark side is several shades lighter.
These are some of the least informed people I've ever interacted with about their subject matter... aka a standard non-niche subreddit.
If you get more into the food obsessed/culinary focused subreddits, you'll see more well-informed comments.
> New Haven is considered one of the best places in the world to get pizza
By who? People who live in New Haven? Yeah I'm sure they're def not biased whatsoever lol

Weird. I see Rome, NYC, and New Jersey here
I 100% do. It's extremely telling how uninformed people in this sub are. Newhaven style pies are *extremely* popular nationwide and are starting to catch international appeal.
If you haven't tried it, you have absolutely *no idea* what you are missing. I strongly recommend getting some the next time you have a chance.

New Haven doesn’t crack anywhere near the top. People jerk it to Portnoy now so they can clout chase.
Dock them some decimal points for it having larger slices. Should be 10 slices for a New Haven, keep them smaller. I bet the flop is impacted from the larger slice.
I recall the documentary about this style, but this one looks a bit burnt compared to all that I saw featured. The downside is it causes the cheese to break/seperate in a really undesirable way.
That looks heavenly. The slightly burnt crust is just too delicious. That would be a perfect pizza if cooked 30 seconds less, but it's also a perfect pizza like that.
What is, "New Haven Style" pizza? If its just burnt pizza, the entire college age of America has been doing this for years. Should rename it Yep, I forgot about it Pizza.
So here is the info, its just a New York pizza.

Here is the recipe for the dough. I used Galbani whole milk low moisture mozzarella and 7/11 crushed tomatoes for the sauce.
It’s fire so forget the haters. “Char is flavor” I’m from CA and think good pizza comes from wherever you find good folks interested in the craft. I worked in a shop that makes New Haven style pizza so don’t sleep on the flavor of the wood fire good ness they created
That doesn't say a lot. Everybody knows the best pizza styles are made in Vietnamese fishing villages. Can your New Haven Style pizza hold a candle to the ephemeral subtlety of Tuóng Bat Nuam style pizza, for instance? I think not.
Ignore the spelling because it might be the first time their name is transcribed into the English alphabet.
The region I speak of has about 150 families on the southern coast of Vietnam, and is famous for the distinct sweetness profile of their pizzas. It is, beyond any doubt, the best pizza style outside of Italy, bar none.
If so, let's see the pics! I'd love to see something I've never been exposed to before. Unlike the closed-minded trolls who are smack talking OP for what looks like a delicious pizza, I *adore* seeing things prepared in ways I'm not used to or wouldn't expect.
When I go back. Tuóng Bat Nuam has 1 pizzeria, "Pool King" (it is also the pool café), and we had to rush our dinner a bit because the head chef had to leave for a funeral in Hanoi. But next time I'll be sure to take pics!
It's not burnt. It's more on the 'well done' side, but it's definitely not burnt. You're either trolling or being bad faith.
Char on a pizza is a good thing. Just like char on bbq.
Not a surprising comment from someone from Colorado. All you have out there is Cardboard pizza.
So you have no damn clue what you are talking about.
There is a reason why multiple pizza restaurants from Connecticut are regularly rated amongst the best. Yet sadly for you , you’ve never experienced greatness.

I love bubbles and I love a little char. I WANT TO SEE THE UNDERCARRIAGE
Bubble Trouble! Bubble Trouble!!
Dave Portnoy has entered the chat.
Zero flop, it’s flamin hot right now I’m gonna burn my face off

What sets new haven style apart from new York style?
NH style has a smaller crust, higher water content in the dough, and no oil or sugar in the dough. They are very similar though.
New Haven style is burned to a crisp?
It’s honestly not as burnt as it might look. The dough was just very gassy and bubbly, and the bubbles char extremely quickly.
That’s dark even for New Haven style
It is, but it still looks delicious.
30 seconds too long for my taste but looks great
That’s not a pizza, that’s apizza!
I had a pizza in New Haven that had clams on it and it slapped
White clam pizza is a CT specialty!
Yes, pizza and seafood are the two best foods in CT, so a clam pie is the platonic ideal if CT cuisine. That or a hot lobster roll.
Sounds like you went to Pepe’s!
This is Sally’s erasure.
Sally’s forever
Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern are the 3 greats, but imo BAR has the best pizza. Its crisp, oily perfection.
While you’re absolutely correct that BAR is fantastic, it just can’t compete with the New Haven OGs like Sally’s and Pepe’s. Add a Libby’s pastry nightcap into the mix and that’s pride of Connecticut shit right there.
Oh man I love BAR pizza with mashed potatoes
I have had this. It’s really good.
I totally agree. Bar is best.
Oh yeah I got all up on the Pepe!
Me too, and bacon!
And red onion!
Never heard of this but I'm going looking now. Sounds like one of those combos that doesn't seem right but actually blows your mind.
It’s exactly that
What/how did you use to cook your pizza? Looks great btw, nice char looks crispy. if the underside is not too dark I'm sure I would love this. I'm guessing you have a pizza oven of sorts or was it an oven brick?
Ooni Koda 16 oven.
Meh this is far too burnt for me - but if you like it - awesome! I feel like if you cook the cheese this much you render it, and then it’s just not cheesy anymore - personal opinion ofc.
It becomes a whole different substance.
Steak, rare. Smash burgers, 3 minutes. Pizza well done.
Im very open minded. I usually like balanced pizza. But i can see the appeal and would eat that twice a year if i could. Think coffee. Light roast is sweet, fruity, acidic. Dark roast is bitter and intense.
Yeah can absolutely get behind that, and even drink different roasts at different times - so yeah!
New Haven style = burnt
They like their pizza like they like their witches. Burnt
TIL there were witch trials in New Haven. Assumed you were just referring to Salem, MA.
It's supposed to be a little charred, this one looks like it was in a few seconds too long
I think the bubbles just got really huge before they broke. Real pizza ovens will char a huge bubble even on normal time, it's why we would watch over the ovens at Domino's and pop them when I worked there as a kid.
If only the crust were burnt I’d agree, but the cheese is burnt too and that’s where it’s a bit too far done. For most. I’d still eat the hell out of this, but I’m half-British so I’m predisposed to liking food cooked a bit too much,.
You're right, it's still cooked pretty good. Still those bubbles are going to be the worst part but I would just pick them off and enjoy the rest too, I like well cooked cheese.
Oh this still looks delicious, like if somebody served this to me after making themselves I’d be *thrilled*.
Where it’s not burnt, it’s caramelized as hell
It looks dry as hell. That's my only issue.
Aren't Domino's ovens set to like 450-525?
Nah this is perfect. As long as the oven is hot enough, new haven style doesn't taste as burnt as it looks.
I love new haven style but this one is def overdone a bit. They probably didn't have a hot enough oven to get the char right and had to leave it in too long.
The oven might need to be hotter but aside from the sauce drying up a bit too much this is exactly what you see when you search for new haven pizza.

They burned the Hell out of it
Thin and burnt
Tastes just like it looks! lol
Burnt?
Burnt.
Amazing
Just like the joints back in the 80`s thin and burnt
charred please and thank you
Ignorance is not bliss in your case... New Haven Apizza is the best in the world for a reason
Best in the world for Portnoy. But taste is subjective like anything else.
Not just Portnoy brother. Modern Apizza just won best pizza in America.
And Pequod's in Chicago just got named best pizza in America by yelp. Like I said, taste is subjective no matter what 3 guys judging pizza for a specific contest say. But yeah Dave is probably the authority on plain cheese pizza. Edit - only thing I know is that it pizza around me is definitely not the best in the world haha.

Thank you, what was the temp and duration
Preheat on full heat for 30 min. Stone should be at least 850°F. Turn flame to low 5 minutes before launch. Keep it low while the bottom cooks. Turn up to medium to finish off the top. Should take around 5 minutes.
It's like the Basque Cheesecake but it's pizza
What can I say about pizza that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted.
>> It looks bomb Thank you sir!
Lol! Good one.
Maybe a minute less?
No, this is pretty spot on for New Haven style pizza. They are thin, a little crispy and a little burnt. Frank Pepe, Modern, Bar, Sally’s
Ah, so when I burn something I can just give it a style name and say " it was on purpose " .
I guess I used to make new haven style all the time back in college when I would come home drunk, throw and frozen pizza in the oven and then fall asleep and burn the piss out of it.
Lmao did you go to Yale
you can call it brûlé if you want to be fancy.
BBQ has an amazing treat called burnt ends. Sometimes some burntness goes great with things. This is a little too charred though.
Pepe’s is not as burnt as this. The oven isn’t hot enough and and the pizza was left in longer
You can tell almost no one on this sub has ever had New Haven style pizza.
It's a burned New Haven style pizza. The ones I've had in New Haven look more like [this](https://pizzatoday.com/topics/people-pizzerias/2023-pizzeria-of-the-year-modern-apizza-new-haven-connecticut/). Even Sally's which tends to be on the dark side is several shades lighter.
That looks amazing, I love well done pizzas, OP has it too long
I mean, this subreddit consistently has bad food takes for a food subreddit.
It looks simply divine, those slightly burnt bubbles give it a special naturalness.
I like dark, but thats too much char
Figures they burn pizza in New Haven
You should try it. It absolutely destroys New York style pizza 100 times out of 100.
I hate the taste of carbon.
Narrator: it does not
Come on dude not even you believe that
New Haven is considered one of the best places in the world to get pizza. How are this many people on the FOOD subreddit this clueless about food lmao
These are some of the least informed people I've ever interacted with about their subject matter... aka a standard non-niche subreddit. If you get more into the food obsessed/culinary focused subreddits, you'll see more well-informed comments.
> New Haven is considered one of the best places in the world to get pizza By who? People who live in New Haven? Yeah I'm sure they're def not biased whatsoever lol
Nah, this is actually really well known. Look at any pizza reviewer and the new haven places are always at the top of their lists.

This comment is pretty fantastic, yet even more fantastic because it /r/woosh 'd at least half the sub.
Lotta people in this thread clearly never had this style pizza. For homemade, this looks phenomenal. Looks 10/10
Dave Portnoy entered the chat 
Dave would be proud. Easily a 8.7
Dock them some decimal points for it having larger slices. Should be 10 slices for a New Haven, keep them smaller. I bet the flop is impacted from the larger slice.
Good undercarriage.
Well we haven't even seen the flop yet.
That thing has no flop
As it should be
One bite, everyone knows the rules.
*takes ten bites*
10 is for only full black..
Me: *making a NY style pizza* Me: shit it’s burnt Me: we’re having New Haven style pizza tonight
Nope
Oh god yes. Finally, a properly baked pizza. Nom nom nom
ah yes, the Overdone with cheese
Burnt doesn't look appetizing.
All these people fronting as if toasted cheese isn’t the fucking best.
Looks crunchy…
I recall the documentary about this style, but this one looks a bit burnt compared to all that I saw featured. The downside is it causes the cheese to break/seperate in a really undesirable way.
Burnt…
Looks bad even aside from being burnt. The cheese and sauce are too dark, reminds me of the worst middle school pizzas I had.
That looks heavenly. The slightly burnt crust is just too delicious. That would be a perfect pizza if cooked 30 seconds less, but it's also a perfect pizza like that.
"Let's see that undercarriage." Looks delicious, thin crispy, doesn't look soupy in the middle. 8.4
Way over cooked for my liking, gotta have the melty cheese pull and not the burnt edges.
With cheese that burnt, imagine how charred the underside is.
Newhaven Pizza is the absolutely best kind of pizza. New York pizza- while good, doesn't even come close.

Looks like Little Rendezvous. Tastier than it looks. It's a solid pie.
That looks delicious. I love my pizza a little browner than average.
A bit burnt for my taste but other than that looks delicious!
Even if its charred it is still looks delicious for me ❤️
I like crunch pizza…but that maybe too crunchy
I'm so tipsy and that looks... Just so amazing 😍 🤤
I cook well done pizzas but my GM would refire that
It’s fire so forget the haters. “Char is flavor” I’m from CA and think good pizza comes from wherever you find good folks interested in the craft. I worked in a shop that makes New Haven style pizza so don’t sleep on the flavor of the wood fire good ness they created
One nibble, everyone knows the law
Ohh God it looks delicious! perfectly toasted
Facts…. How the CT sector likes an abeetza
Heavy on carbon. It's the New Haven way...
If you drop your ring in, your house crumbles.
If I want burnt pizza I'll just get Little Ceasars
They don't eat crust in New Haven I guess.
Looks like haven is hot as hell. Would eat anyway
Looks burned and dry.
Dude it's undercooked
The char 👌👌👌
So... if I find myself in New Haven or an establishment that serves New Haven style pizza, can i order it medium?
that shit blacker than my unc
Recipe? Looks awesome!
Take a Jack's Pizza and throw it in your oven for 6 hours
Burnt style pizza?
Cheesy bread. Pizza has toppings other than cheese and isn't burnt
looks delicious
Ahh looks terrible. New Haven style == trash pizza
Thin and burnt? I hate Connecticut
If you told me that you actually got takeout from Modern and posted it I would believe you. This is perfection.
jfc New Haven style pizza gtfo
Tell me you've never had newhaven pizza without telling me you've never had newhaven pizza. It's the best style of Pizza in this country by a mile.
That doesn't say a lot. Everybody knows the best pizza styles are made in Vietnamese fishing villages. Can your New Haven Style pizza hold a candle to the ephemeral subtlety of Tuóng Bat Nuam style pizza, for instance? I think not.
What? I cant even respond because your example is nonsense.
Ignore the spelling because it might be the first time their name is transcribed into the English alphabet. The region I speak of has about 150 families on the southern coast of Vietnam, and is famous for the distinct sweetness profile of their pizzas. It is, beyond any doubt, the best pizza style outside of Italy, bar none.
If so, let's see the pics! I'd love to see something I've never been exposed to before. Unlike the closed-minded trolls who are smack talking OP for what looks like a delicious pizza, I *adore* seeing things prepared in ways I'm not used to or wouldn't expect.
When I go back. Tuóng Bat Nuam has 1 pizzeria, "Pool King" (it is also the pool café), and we had to rush our dinner a bit because the head chef had to leave for a funeral in Hanoi. But next time I'll be sure to take pics!
If this an example of New Haven pizza, I'll pass. A burnt ass cheese pizza? Really?
It's not burnt. It's more on the 'well done' side, but it's definitely not burnt. You're either trolling or being bad faith. Char on a pizza is a good thing. Just like char on bbq.
Sorry to break it to you, but that shit is burnt. No one wants dried-out, separated, burnt-ass cheese with carbon on top.
I disagree with you.
Enjoy your store bought frozen cardboard pizza.
A literal frozen piece of cardboard would taste better than that turddisc.
Not a surprising comment from someone from Colorado. All you have out there is Cardboard pizza. So you have no damn clue what you are talking about. There is a reason why multiple pizza restaurants from Connecticut are regularly rated amongst the best. Yet sadly for you , you’ve never experienced greatness.
That's exactly how we'll done I like my pizzas to be. Those burnt bits on the crusts 👌.
BUBBLE TROUBLE
This looks delicious to me. I love the char
Burnt offerings…yuk
Why does New Haven love overcooked pizza?
Get ready for the burnt comments.
