256 Pratt St, Meriden, CT 06451, USA
(203) 235-0110

Do not let the rough looking neighborhood drive you away. Walk into a restaurant where nobody greets you and go down a long hallway to order a great pizza pie. Cash only and order in advance or be prepared to wait. Rated 9.1 by Dave Portnoy.

Modern Apizza

874 State St, New Haven, CT 06511, USA
(203) 776-5306

If you really have to go to New Haven, Modern is worth while to check out. Frank Pepe is overrated and we've never been to Sally's to recommend. These are the big 3 in New Haven.
