I'd rate Modern third out of New Haven's top pizza places. I should add that New Haven really does have the best pizza in the USA. That may be hard to believe for some outsiders but have a taste and then I think you will agree! I'd put Pepes and Sallies (both of Wooster St - New Haven) ahead of... more

18" was plenty for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Thin crust. Popular with everyone. Good atmosphere and prompt service. Recommended and would definitely go again. Reasonably priced. more

My husband grew up in New Haven, so he was basically weened on Modern pizza... as was his father and his entire family. So it's been a long-standing family tradition that we eat there, especially considering that our house is 2 blocks away from the famed eatery. But over the past few years, the quality of the pizza has gone... more

My wife and I stopped here after reading the reviews. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in and given a booth. It was at the end of the lunch time so the crowd was beginning to thin out. Our server brought the drinks and appetizer quickly. This was our first time with New Haven style pizza and were... more

Surely one of the best pizzas in New Haven. Fast moving lines. Quick service. But, if you have the time, there is no place like Sally's. Sally's is the best anywhere. Pepe's used to be. But Pepe's has become a small chain. There are too many different bakers. It is inconsistent. Modern on the other hand is consistently good. But,... more

Very good NH pizza, but falls short of Pepe's and my underdog favorite, Bar. Why? Plain and simple. The brick oven here produces a plainer, more workmanlike crust than the magic that comes out of the coal ovens at other NH institutions. The Red Sox memorablia loses them points as well. :) more

First of all, the best pizza on the planet *does* exist in New Haven, CT. I laugh when I find myself in this argument, especially with Europeans who scoff at anything Americanized, primarily because the detractors have actually never set foot in a New Haven pizza establishment. Yes yes, I've had pie in Italy, the basil is really "fresh" (yawn),... more
