Did you know pizza in America began in 1905 in New York? But, Connecticut wasn’t that far behind. This state is home to some of the oldest pizzerias in the United States. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven (1925), Zuppardi’s Apizza in West Haven (1934), Modern Apizza in New Haven (1934), and Jennie’s Pizzeria in Bridgeport and Monroe (1935) are among the oldest in the country.
