Large side salad
1/2 Anchovie and 1/2 pepper pizza
me
Well on a overnight visit to the city of New Haven with my friend Pablo, to visit his alma mater Yale University we went on a walking tour of the city. I have to say its a lovely area and with quite a history for fabulous pizza places. But Pablo suggested we go to one of his favorite haunts, Modern Apizza.
Well i was a little alarmed when we got there and the line waiting to get in at 7:00 PM was out the door with a 30 minute wait to get in to a table. So we put our name in , and went to a great Irish bar next to kill the 30 minutes. When we got back , 30 minutes later we still had to wait a lil while longer. But once seated, the wait staff is very attentative and brought us menus immediately and took our drink order. The above picture titled "me" shows me drinking a Naughty Nurse Ale (yes thats the name, and yes i ordered it solely based on its name) , having said that it was quite delicious.
Pablo and i split the above large side salad, which was fine. Nothing extraordinary , but at the same time it was a side salad so what do you expect. It was all iceberg lettuce with hardly enough tomatoes or onions for my liking. Although i will say i was a big fan of their blue cheese dressing.
But …the main event, the headliner of our dinner…The Pizza. Yowza talk about delicious.
We got a 1/2 anchovy and 1/2 pepper pizza. The pizza was cooked perfectly, the crust was thin and crunchy , the sauce plentiful but not overloaded but the cheese was dairy perfection, i can't recall enjoying a pizza more. The anchovies added the perfect amount of salty to goodness and the peppers were cut to just the right size and cooked just the way i like them.
We managed to finish the whole thing which believe me is no small feat, since it was a generous portion.
The whole meal was fantastic, and very reasonably priced.
I can't wait to go back to New Haven , and i am even thinking of enrolling at Yale just so i can go to Modern Apizza more often.
Have a great night and an even better meal.
