My fiance' started taking me after a horrible final experience with Sally's (I took him there for the first time and was mortified and embarrassed and refuse to go back after going there since I was a kid, i.e.filth, wait on a dead night STILL over two hours, getting yelled at by waiter).

Best pizza, hands down. Pepe's is also good and runs a close second but for me, there is just something better about the sauce at Modern. Fast service, great value! more

We took out their pizza. Our relatives go all the way from North Haven because they love it so much. I was anxious to try their pizza, and was glad we did!

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
