This past weekend, Mark and I had a wedding to go to just outside of New Haven, Connecticut. After spending 16 hours of traveling from San Diego to Chicago to D.C. to New Haven (in one day!), we decided to reward ourselves on Saturday before the wedding with some New Haven-style pizza, courtesy of the legendary Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana. New Haven-style pizza, known as "apizza," is a style of Neopolitan pizza characterized most popularly by its thin crust. I'd heard others wax poetic about the superiority of New Haven-style pizza, and had eaten one of D.C.'s top New Haven-style pizza offerings at Pete's Apizza (which is good), but was excited to have a pizza directly from the source - the apizza was invented by Frank Pepe on Wooster Street in the early 1920's, and the pizzeria has been dishing it out to locals and tourists alike ever since. Did the pizza live up to expectations? Um, the only answer to that is a resounding "hell yes!"
