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 pleasantly surprised. It is different than the pizza we get in Chicago, and I don't mean our deep dish but just regular. The crust was very thin and light and the pie had lots of sausage. We were unable to finish the medium size pie and took the leftovers back to the hotel. It held up well in the refrigerator and we ate it later for a snack. It was still delicious cold.

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, not quite as good as Sally's.

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. :)
