Went to Grand Apizza in Madison last night. Bills itself as New Haven style. It was good, but not upper tier for me. The founder worked at Modern with his brother, who owned Modern, before branching out on his own in 1955. Would go again, but would not make a special trip for it.
The founder of the original Grand Apizza, Frederick Nuzzo, was a WWII fighter pilot who started making pizza in 1948 when he started working for his brother, Nicholas, who owned Modern Apizza in New Haven. In 1955, after nearly a decade working alongside his brother, Fred opened the doors to his own Grand Apizza in Fair Haven. Fred and Rosemarie Nuzzo owned and operated the original restaurant for 50 years on Grand Avenue in Fair Haven. I was their paper boy growing up, and I played on the Grand Apizza little league team. Wish I still had that shirt! Fred's kids now run the existing Grand Apizzas out in the 'burbs.
