Fare

A half-tomato/half-mozzarella pizza at Sally's Apizza

Sally's serves New Haven-style thin-crust apizza, which is baked in coal-fired brick pizza ovens. By default, a New Haven pizza is a "plain" pizza topped with only tomato sauce and Parmesan. Sally's is a small restaurant, and patrons must often wait in line, sometimes for hours.^{[citation needed]}
