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. They do not have a long list of toppings but they are all of the highest quality. When Connecticut Tomatoes are in season, they offer fresh tomato slices on your pizza...not to be missed.
Though rival Pepe's has the reputation for the 'best' Clam Pizza in New Haven, Sally's is no slouch. Go for the Red Clam pie with some extra garlic and you won't be disappointed. I've also added sausage to this pizza and it takes it to a whole new level. When the tomatoes are in season, a White Clam Pie with fresh tomato slices is heavenly.
The biggest complaint regarding Sally's is always 'the wait'. Getting a reservation is possible but improbable unless you are from the area. Best advice is to get there at 4:15 (yes, I know) as they open at 5:00 p.m. (give or take a few minutes). This will get you in the 'first' seating. You still won't get your pizza until around 6:00 on most nights. When your waiter comes by, be ready to order. Also, if you are expecting to have more than one soda or beer (that's all they have), order both of them or three or however many you may consume as you may never get the attention of your waiter (likely Lorenzo) again!
If you are anywhere near New Haven...just go!
