Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3377622, member: 34"] So made it to New Haven to sample some pies with some family members. Guys family trip. We were able to fit in three stops before our guts could take no more. Modern- First stop. Got there right as it opened. Had the white clam pie and pepperoni. Pepperoni were for a couple of the teenagers whose taste buds are still a work in progress. White clam was fantastic. Pepperoni was good, but nothing spectacular. Sauce was best part of pepperoni. You can tell it is lightly seasoned and high quality. Light and not a ton of acid in it. Frank Pepe's- Stop #2. Had a plain tomato pie and a tomato with mootz. Threw some fresh garlic on the tomato pie. Definitely a winner. Then it was over to West Haven and Zuppardi's. Had the sausage pie and a tomato with cheese. Sausage pie was every bit of its reputation. Crust was light and airy and the sausage is perfectly made for pizza topping. We were going to try Sally's but line was a good 25-30 min wait outside and we were just so full we didn't think we'd enjoy it. Overall six pies today. Modern's white clam, Pepe's plain tomato with garlic and Zuppardi's sausage were all done great and I'd recommend them to anyone. I don't know if I could pick between the sausage and the clam for best overall. The cheese and pepperonis were perfectly fine but you don't go to these joints for them. But if you have a large group and you need some basic pies, these are still plenty good. [/QUOTE]
