I am admittedly a pizza snob. Several years ago, the New York Times declared New Haven CT the pizza capital of the world, stating there are more pizza places per capita than anywhere else. New hHaven has a huge Italian population, and the major pizza places here have been operating continuously since the 1930's. Frank Sinatra declared Sally's (as in Salvatore) his favorite.

Plain pizza in New Haven is a pie with just homemade sauce (and home made dough, of course) with just a little parmasean cheese. Delicious, and low fat, too!. Another great one is dough with a little olive oil, garlic, and herbs - mmmmm. Fresh sliced tomato, mozzerella, and fresh basil and garlic (no sauce) is another favorite. Pepe's shucks clams to order for their house specialty - white clam pizza.

I cannot write anymore, I am drooling on the keyboard.
