I recently received this great video from two different sources, about Wooster Street in New Haven. The video was created by bgrant19 She did a fantastic job! (Thanks Gary B. and Tony C. for sending me this video...) I am very happy to share it here. The great thing about Wooster Street is that once you get there, you are in a time warp. Wooster Street exists in its own universe without regard to the rest of the world. Time stands still, on this street in New Haven . There has always been a friendly rivalry between Providence, Rhode Island and New Haven . Both are very Italian towns. Providence has Federal Hill (That's where my mom grew up). While New Haven has Wooster Street . A few years back, the mayors of each city took part in a contest. New Haven came out on top. Blame it on Wooster Street . True, Federal Hill has some great Italian restaurants. But, Wooster Street has Pepe's , Sally's Apizza and Libby's Italian Pastry Shop . If you've ever been t...

I got an email from my friend Gary Bimonte , co-owner of Pepe's Pizzeria Napolentana . Gary was featured on Legends of Pizza, Volume 1. He explained how his grandfather, Frank Pepe created the legendary clam pizza. Gary was excited to give me the news that Pepe's had opened another pizzeria in Manchester, Connecticut. Here is the address: 221 Buckland Hills Drive, Manchester, CT. The phone number is: 860-644-7333. Pepe's has always been a family owned operation and it continues to be a family operation. During my Legends of Pizza, Volume 1. , interview, Gary discussed how the family had decided to take Pepe's in a different direction. Pepe's opened it's first restaurant outside of New Haven in Fairfield , Connecticut. It was an immediate success. Lines were out the door with loyal customers screaming for more pizza. For over 80 years, Pepe's Pizza , was limited to Wooster Street , in New Haven . Then suddenly they were in Fairfield . Now they ha...

I am regularly reminded why I created the website: Pizza Therapy . I wanted to share some of the joy, my friends and I received, when my Dad (Big Al) , would mke pizza for us. I'm sure my Dad would be very proud. He is a recent email from my friend, Jaime : "Albert, my family - Grandpa , Grandpa , my sisters , my brothers , nieces , nephew , in-laws, husband , my two kids and some friends all had their hand in pizza and calzone making last night. There were 20 of us all together from age 1 - 74. Master kamado Chef David had the kamado cooking up our pizza's and calzones just right. Here's some pictures of our "Pizza in Palisades Night". Everyone just loved your recipe for the pizza crust!" Here is a picture of a kamado (a type of Japanese grill): Thanks, Jaime . Now that's what I'm talking about: Pizza Therapy in action!

Albert's Pepperoni Pizza During the last couple of weeks, I had a chance to sample some great pizza. Pepe's and Sally's Apizza , (Wooster Street, New Haven, Connecticut) did not disappoint me. They were fantastic, as usual. On one of my adventures, I stumbled into a pizza joint. The family was busy shopping, so I took it upon myself to check out a new pizza place. The pizza looked good. The crust looked good. The taste was OK. It was not the best pizza I ever had, and it wasn' t the worst. It was good pizza. I agree with Peter Reinhart who says there are two types of pizza: good pizza and great pizza. In some ways pizza is relative,: had I not just had Pepe's or Sally's , I might have rated this pizza much higher. Pepe's and Sally's make great pizza. Anywhere in the pizza universe, this pizza may have been a solid 8 or 9. After Pepe's and Sally's, I would rate it a 6 or 7... Sometimes you can't get great pizza. Sometimes good, is goo...
