I'm not a big pizza snob - just because I won't touch Sbarro's doesn't mean I don't eat at Pizza Hut - but even I can tell Modern's is the best. The sauce is perfect, the crust is light.

I grew up in New Haven and always thought Modern was way better than Pepe's and Sally's. The sauce is key. It is not bitter or pasty. I live in California now but am back in CT at least once a year. I always pay Modern a visit! Sometimes I even buy a pizza, freeze it, and take it back... more
