So maybe it’s just dif taste buds but I’ve seen reviews from multiple people about this place…some say it’s really really good some say it’s just decent pizza but nothing special…heard it’s gotten inconsistent…idk

I'm from Ct. and I've had excellent apizza all over the northeast and in Italy when I lived in Florence for a while, but there is just something about a New Haven pie done right that's just incredible.

Where would you recommend to eat pizza in Florence? Other parts of Italy that most people don't know about? I love pizza.

Dude. That's the best pizza review I've ever seen, you captured everything perfectly. I've been going to Sally's for 50 years, and have always felt that they are the pinnacle of the "holy trinity" of NH pizza. You nailed it when you took the first bite of the pie without the cheese and recognized that it was better than the one with cheese. Only the best of the best can pull that off, there is literally nowhere to hide with a pie like that. You understood that it's simple, but not so "simple". There is a magic to it that only Sally's has. I could tell that you recognized it by the look on your face when you dug in. You knew in that moment that pizza, or maybe even food, doesn't get any better. There is something "transcendent" about their pizza that makes everything else pale in comparison. The only negative is that they set the bar so high that it ruins eating pizza in other places. As you mentioned, the "wheels of sadness" get even "sadder" after experiencing Sallys. Thanks for the interview, that was great and heartfelt.

I've never had New Haven pizza but want to try to make it in my Ooni. I understand it's a 70% hydration roughly. What makes the toppings unique? I hear the tomato pie is just tomato sauce, oregano, olive oil, garlic and pecorino Romano? Are the clam pies with mozzarella or pecorino Romano and olive oil and garlic and clams?

screw the hipster places, this place speaks for itself. Love it!

Your lack of words speaks volumes - it looks absolutely incredible. Can’t wait to see where else you guys are off to.

When the hype lives up to the legend! Fantastic mate! So pleased for you to be living the dream and going to these legendary places, meeting the people behind them, hearing the stories and seeing that the end product is a sum of all of it’s parts. Thank you for sharing your passion, it’s a joy to see!

Welcome to this side of the pond! Enjoy your visit.

So wonderful, that was brilliant to watch, thank you for taking us with you on such a emotional and special visit. ♥️♥️

Fave review ever from FRC and I’ve followed from the very early days! You guys are smashing it 👍🏻

Had to like this video, great work. Looks the perfect place, balance, food, ambience, characters, vibes. Love this content, your best video congrats!!

Love these reviews, keep it going! 👍

I was born and Lived in New Haven CT for the first 18 years of my life,..you've done justice to Sally's! Its awesome to see a UK point of view, and love seeing you 'get it'. New Haven = Best Pizza in the US.

(the area/district from where our compatriots come from) and expanded from there to legion of Calabria,Lazio (expecially an half trough Naples - Rome / Rome and its provinces).

A pizza that makes someone almost burst into tears has to be damn good.

Great video, really enjoyed watching this!

Probably the best review I have seen, the passion is unreal

A genuine bucket list destination - I'm pretty confident this would be my 'final meal' choice.

I have waited for this review, didn't disappoint!

If you ever make it back to New Haven, Pepes, and Modern Apizza are absolutely worth re-visting for. IMO - Sally's stands on it own, but the other two are fantastic as well.

I love your videos on tiktok glad to see you review one of my bucket list spots

You killed that review mate. My mouth was watering listening to you talk about those Apizza. I'm headed to new Haven this Friday. 1st stop Sally's, the Frank Peppes

What a wonderful, welcoming community

Ray is a legend. It's amazing how much time he spent chatting with you.

Great way to start your pizza tour off. Hope it went well for you!

such a great staff base. God bless you guys.

pizza looked great, review was bang on, bubble blowing was crazy "not a bad set of pins for an old bird.......was that gumball machine wearing a wig 🤣🤣

1st class,Loved the vid.

Amazing. Hope you had a great time!

Ive got italian irish family and from growing up all the pizza we had was cheese tomato and always extra sauce.. it makes any pizza taste that so much better!! Even in the uk dominos i have garlic sace then extra tomato base then cheese and it makes it better!! Love to try sallys

As a New Yorker, my first reaction to this review once I found out it was his first to try in New Haven was: "Oh no! He's started with the very best place!" I'll always love New York pizzas, but Sally's unequivocally is the best pizza I've ever had. He nailed it. The experience of just being in the place with its staff, its history, and - importantly - its retention of the feel of a decades-old mom and pop business is hands down exactly what you want in a pizzeria - and that's *before* they bring you the best pies in the world. Very smart to order the mozz and tomato pies side by side for comparison too.

Personally, this is my favourite FRC review ever. Sallys is an icon

what wholesome people

Nothing is better than having the highest expectations and for it to exceed that. It can get you emotional. Only people that are foodies understand that

I Love Love classic Italian. And the Tomatoe sauce if its good I would drink it. So now I have to try Sallys to see whats up. I love it.

Damn that wall of pictures and those booths are giving me flashbacks to my childhood. Grew up going to sallys, ill always remember flo sitting in the back booth handing out lollipops to the kids ❤

Two class acts right here. Great job, guys. Fellow brit with Sally's on his bucket.

Absolutely top class video

Fair play Matt and Callum this channel is flying awesome lads best reviewer on KZread.

This is your best review so far imo big man. I want to tap my feet together, eat that fine looking pizza and talk to that dude. That looks an amazing experience.

Great place, great people and insane Pizza 👏

WOOT WOOT bro living in New Haven all my 73 years Sally's is my favorite pie the white clam best just tomato sauce pie and the potatoe with rosmary all # 1 in my book thks for giving it a 10

Good review. In the pictures were Flo, Bob, Rick and Ruth, (Sal and Flo's first child and only daughter),who didn't get mentioned.

I might have to buy a ticket to New haven CT,just to visit Sally's

wow!! those look amazing. the coal fire taste must be mouth watering too

Totally agree, the food could be fantastic. But if the staff are shit its an awful experience. And these people were a pleasure to watch.

I think I'd kill to get one of those pizzas right now, lol.

"Wheels of sadness" fucking LOL

First, I'm going to use the phrase "wheels of sadness"!! Guy in the burgundy shirt looks like the singer Phil Perry 🎉🎉

I know it's going to be amazing, you've got pepe's, Barr and modern too. Hope you do Louis lunch, oldest burger restaurant just dont ask for ketchup . 👍

This place is on my bucket list , it’s hard to find good pizza over in the north of England (open to suggestions) me and my little lad go on the odd pizza quest mini road trips with a pizza ending all started by watching Dave’s reviews, only ever done one on his list though ,Miami slice when dropping my daughter off at university it was the best I’ve ever had so this place must be fire 🔥

Great content Matt. Followed you from Facebook when you first started out, absolutely smashing it pal! Hope you will be back in Bradford soon!

Wish I lived in New Haven. So much good pizza!

This would be right up my alley, I ALWAYS ask for extra sauce on any pizza and ask for it well done… I mean why can’t they just cook it a bit longer for the dough to cook properly and have a bit of crunch? Is that too much to ask? 😣

One day I'll go!!

I had the potato rosemary two days ago and it honestly changed my life

You have to catch Modern if you haven't already!

Bro, if you sprinkled Romano on there, forget-a-bout-it, even better!

Sally's the closest thing to Heaven.

Hope you'll try the 'white clam pie' at Pepe's

Near London, Cambridge! 😁

I never worked there. I've never even been there. I will try it out someday I hope.

Welcome back to the USA! 🍻🍕

Even Dayton Street Pizza is awesome! They are located on the edge of New Haven near Wood Bridge CT. They don't have wood, or coal ovens, yet their pizza is has the same flavor of Sally's, Modern and Pepe's! Weird. Must be the New Haven water.

If you go back to my home state…go to Manchester and go to Shady Glen for their cheeseburger platter. It’s the best cheeseburger you will ever have.
