Lovingly known as Nick's APIZZA, Nick's New Haven Style Pizzeria & Bar opened in September, 2011, to the great delight of many area residents formerly from Connecticut!
What is "APIZZA"? (pronounced a-BEETS) New Haven-style pizza, locally known as "APIZZA," is a style of Neapolitan pizza common in and around New Haven, Connecticut. What really sets New Haven-style pizza apart from other styles is its thin crust. Brick oven cooking makes the crust very crispy and chewy throughout, New Haven-style pizzerias always make sure that they use a balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings. Use of the term "apizza" is mostly confined to the Italian-American enclaves of Southern Connecticut, and derives from Neapolitan dialect. The dish is more widely known throughout the region as simply "New Haven-style pizza." The brick oven is coal fired and cooks at an excess of 750°. This creates a darker crust, which they call "well done."
The White Pizza with Rhode Island Clams is out of this world, and the Pepperoni Pie is overflowing with spicy meat. While luscious pie is the specialty, the casual, shiny new Nick’s also serves Salads (a must try is the garden-fresh Tomato and Basil one); Subs, known as Grinders in Connecticut; plump Calzones stuffed with Ricotta, Pecorino Romano and Mozzarella; and Libby's real Italian Ices. If you've never tasted Birch Beer made by FoxOn Park Soda, no drink goes better with pizza than this frosty, fizzy stuff...except maybe an ice cold beer or a nice glass or two of wine. Nothing beats a Nick's APIZZA !
