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.

Some more thoughts. 1. The capex light set up - really adaptable by them. Essentially a patio in between two buildings converted to an outdoor restaurant. That said I think it’s a reflection of how frustratingly hard it is for restaurants to operate in CA. I suspect we’ll probably start seeing more of that. Could be cool and force some new ideas + trends that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. 2. I’m really glad that CT pizza has at least one spot in LA. If you know of any others - please let me know! I’ve only seen one and it was a random pop-up. 3. Price doesn’t come into consideration for my reviews - but this was refreshingly below $30 for each pizza. So east sides and valley folk- if you want a low key dinner - add this to your list. 4. Gordito wants to say hi.
