Owner Dan Parillo is manning the wood-fired oven at his State Street pizzeria Da Legna. He’s got myriad duties to perform or oversee, but he seems most comfortable here in the kitchen, making signature pizzas and small plates, and trying out new recipe ideas. “Smell this,” he says, removing a Funghi pizza from the hot […]

Pizza and Quiet
Just a few miles north up I-95, tucked away in the quaint, peaceful, history-laden town of Guilford, is an upstart: Bufalina, a restaurant that’s been giving the shoreline’s long-established pizza titans a run for their money. (more…)
Apizza the Pie
New Haveners are spoiled: we have some of the best pizza in the country, maybe in the world, and we have options for where to get it. “Apizza,” “thin-crust” and “brick-oven” are elevated concepts elsewhere, but they’re our normal.
