Have heard rave reviews about Modern & was finally able to try it on a recent Sunday evening. We had never been there before & got our name on the list to be seated. We were a party of 6 and there were several parties ahead of us. The staff said the wait time would be approx 20 minutes. Great.... More

Went for the first and last time to Modern Pizza in New Haven. 1/2 the pizza was burnt black, beyond acceptable to anyone! I will admit we ate the other half and it was good and they credited the two beers to offset the 1/2 burnt pizza. Way too many excellent pizza places in New Haven/West Haven to bother ever... More

Pepe's has the name, but lousy pizza. Modern serves the locals the do not listen to all the hype other places receive. Modern by far is the best pizza in New Haven. Nice crispy crust. Good cheese, Great toppings.

Onion Pizza thin sweet onion on the most delicious crust in the world. Modern Pizza does burn its pies but that is what so great about them! Enjoy, go during the week no waiting.

Modern is often overlooked in the competition between Pepe's and Sallys - if you can't make up your mind - check out Modern - you won't be disappointed and you may evenf forget about the "other two".

There are a few truly great pizza places on this earth, and after the few truly greats, there are the "fairly" great pizza places. Modern Apizza is in the latter category. Sidebar: New Haven has some sort complex about its pizza. Every place in town is trying to be the best in the world or something. But they can't all... More

Bacon pizza was very tasty, garlic bread good too! The location was on a busy street, and the parking was terrible, we ended up in the gas station parking lot next door hoping our car was safe and wouldnt be towed away. The area a little busy, I dont think I would go after dark. We waited for about 15... More

Had an opportunity to pickup a couple of Modern's offerings last week as I was unexpectedly in the area. Same great crust, the cornmeal on the bottom, the oven char, the hand tossed thinness, the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce, this is the only pizza that tastes so good I will happily eat it cold for breakfast the next...
