The legendary sign at Sally's Apizza!

According to Tony Consiglio, co-founder of Sally's, if Frank Sinatra was in New York he sometimes  would have his "driver go to New Haven and pick up a few pizzas from Sally's...
Mozzarella with pepperoni was Frank's favorite, but once in a while he'd have one with clams."
(One way from  New York to New Haven is almost 2 hours!)
(Franz Douskey, Yankee Magazine July & August 2000)

In the same article Tony Consiglio says: "In April 1938, my mother, my brother Sally (Salvatore), and I opened a pizza restaurant on Wooster Street. My mother wanted to call the restaurant Sally's and Tony's. To have a beer permit, you had to be 21. My brother was 21. I was 19." That's how Sally's was named!

Here is what happened on a recent visit:

"Our order was taken by Rick Consiglio (Salvatore's son). We ordered a large white clam, a large bacon and mushroom as well as an anchovy and fresh tomato.
 The crust was extremely thin and cooked to perfection! 
I must admit this was some of the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life!

We arrived early, (they open at 5:00 P.M.), and we were glad we did. If you don't want to wait in line for hours, go early! We were also treated to a potato and onion pizza made by Bobby Consiglio, (Sally's other son). Don't look for it on the menu, but if you ask nice, maybe Bobby will make one for you!"

Make sure you tell their mom, Flora (Sally's widow), Rick and Bobby "hello" from pizzatherapy.com!

Sally's Apizza is legendary pizza!
 Sally's fans are loyal! 
As one pizza lover told me as we waited in line:
"I just drove up from New York City (about 2 hours)...
this is like coming to "the holy land of Pizza"
