Sally’s Apizza,  New Haven, established  1938

Lots of folks call Sally’s their favorite, and if we were anywhere but New Haven, we might too. This old school, no frills joint offers up a classic New Haven skinny crust pie on an oblong metal platter, that clearly has legions of fans (John F. Kennedy and Frank Sinatra among them). When you can’t brave the lines for other New Haven pizza, head here for a veggie pie (hot peppers lend a welcome spicy bite), or salty anchovy, which make up for the rather plain tomato and mootz.

Good to know: cash only.  www.sallysapizza.com
