Sally's Apizza is a pizzeria in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut.
Sally's serves New Haven-style thin-crust apizza, which is baked in coal-fired brick ovens. By default, a New Haven pizza is a "plain" pizza topped with only tomato sauce, garlic, and hard cheeses.
The restaurant was opened in April 1938 by Salvatore Consiglio, nephew of Frank Pepe, who was the owner of Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, another Wooster Street pizza restaurant. Sal Consiglio ran it until his death in May 1989. It is still operated in its original location by his wife Flora and their children Ruth, Richard and Robert.
Sally's is a small restaurant and residents of New Haven must wait in line outside the restaurant often for hours. Sally's walls have many photographs of Sinatra and Tony at Sinatra's height of popularity along with numerous other celebrities have dined at the establishment. There is also a gold record album from New Haven native Michael Bolton thanking Sally's in the liner notes.
Sally's has assembled its pizza with the finest of ingredients for years. I have been going there since 1967 and the quality has been the same (excellent) for over 40 years. It's a thin crusted pie with charred edges, absolutely delicious sauce (tomato or white) and perfect cheeses that melt well into the pie as well as into your mouth.

Truer words have not been spoken! They have a menu 'on-line' so that will help. Make sure you tell them you want mozzarella on each pizza (you may get sauce and toppings only otherwise)...AND, if you are intending on having more than one beer, order both or three or four when you place your pizza order!
I love Sally's When you go there it is like stepping back in time. You just stepped back to the '50's or 60's. There is a custom cartoon of Zonker Harris (Gary Turdeau from Doonesbury) on the wall. You can also sit under a signed protrait of Frank Sinatra. BIG TIP: Don't dilly dally when you order. Order your pizza as soon as the waiter comes to your table. And know what you want. If you are undecided you may not see the waiter agian for 45 minutes to an hour.
