Loved the pizza here! We found there was a MUCH shorter wait time than some of the other classic new haven pizza spots. Waited about 10 minutes on a Saturday afternoon when there were lines out the door at other places. We got the clam casino w/o peppers and a cheese pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and we will definitely stop in again!

I am on a mission to show my friend who just moved to Connecticut from New York that Connecticut has the best pizza. We met here first and agreed on ordering a classic plain pizza with mozzarella so we could taste the sauce and the crust. That was our appetizer. For our main entry we ordered the veggie bomb. She took one bite and exclaimed, “Sold!” We bought large pies so we could take home leftovers and ate it warmed up for dinner, too. Just as good, well it is best when it comes out of the oven and it is served with a big smile. The old time leather booths are roomy and private. A warm, inviting atmosphere with sincere servers. Try a Gasosa soda mixed with seltzer for a light and refreshing drink.

Since I’ve lived in CT, my friends have raved about how New haven has the best pizza in the country. I’ve tried a few spots in the area and wasn’t the biggest fan. This changed after I had my first slice at Moderns. The dough wasn’t overcooked or super thin. It wasn’t dry, it was simple just right. The pie was stacked with tons of toppings. I did a pick up and it only took about 15 mins. My favorite part was the garlic bread. It was super tasty!! Definitely look forward to going back soon!

Really good pizza here. I went around 1pm on a weekday and it was surprisingly busy for a weekday but there was still plenty of seating available. I got a regular cheese pie and the taste started off pretty good but then the cheese began to harden and didn’t taste as good as the first few bites - this is normal but I was surprised at how quickly it happened. The bake on the pizza also wasn’t as good as Sally’s and frank Pepe’s in my opinion. The service here is great though and this place is worth checking out just for the historic nature or the establishment

Damn good pizza. Definitely has that signature char that you can read about as is the style here in Connecticut.
The clam pizza... Very yummy. Different flavor to the crust, nice and chewy.
Great friendly service, bummer they don't take American Express, but life moves on.
Also, Connecticut medium is North Carolina large. 🤣

This pizza restaurant located in New Haven CT is the best. Everytime I visit CT. I go to Modern Apizza. The picture only tells you how beautiful this pizza comes to the table but the taste is scrumptious. I ate only 2 slices but I wanted more. I find there are many great Pizza restaurants in CT. This is one of my favorites. The staff makes you feel like family. Love It!!!!!

Friday night. No wait. Walked right in and were seated. Place smelled wonderful with all the pizzas cooking in the coal-fired oven. First time so we ordered a large pepperoni, small white pizza, small Italian bomb, and a small clam pizza. I was most impressed with the clam pizza because coming from Maryland, I've never had anything like it. Clams were very flavorful and with a few squeezes of lemon, it was great. The pepperoni pizza was also very good. I think our group's least favorite was the white pizza. They also had a few local beers on tap that were solid additions. I'm not sure it was the best pizza we've ever had, as we've done other places like Brooklyn and Manhattan that also claim pizza supremacy, but there's no doubt that this is a serious contender for best pizza in the country.

“omg this is the best pizza I’ve ever had” - my wife
Toppings were high quality, especially loved the whole garlic and bacon pieces. Great ratio of sauce & cheese as well. The thin crust was crunchy but not super overcooked. Would definitely come back when I’m in the area.
