New Haven-style pizza, also known as "apizza," is a unique style of pizza originating from New Haven, Connecticut. It is characterized by its thin, crispy crust, which is often charred due to being cooked in a high-temperature coal-fired oven. The pizza is typically topped with a simple tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and various toppings, with the option of adding grated Pecorino Romano cheese for extra flavor. Unlike traditional pizzas, New Haven-style often features a distinctive shape, resembling a large, round pie. Popular toppings include clams, pepperoni, and mushrooms, with the white clam pizza being a local favorite. This style of pizza has gained recognition for its unique taste and texture, making it a beloved culinary staple in the region.
