Ozzy’s Apizza
Glendale

The Zupp
The White

New Haven style. Started at a bar + recently moved to a capex light operation on a patio. Makes for a unique dining experience. 

I grew up in CT. My polo shirt collection will vouch. 

New Haven has been thrust from the shadows into the pizza limelight (I credit it mainly to the Ugly Delicious pizza episode). 

Aka “apizza” - thin-crust charred, slightly chewy crust. Coal-fired oven.

The Zupp - Signature New Haven charred look. Flavorful sausage. CT elements present in each bite, but quality still felt like a slightly elevated food truck. 

The White - the spinach was the star. Savory. Reminded me of creamed spinach on Thanksgiving. I preferred its non-charred crust to that of The Zupp. 

Felt like I got hit by a bus afterwards and this brings up a belief of mine. Non-deep dish pizza should not couch-lock you or make you feel uneasy. 

Portnoy gave it an 8.1, but I think it was only because the owner was right there listening. 

VERDICT: not ktd approved.

Just had Sally's and Modern in New Haven today and flying to back to LA tomorrow, excited to try this
