Sally's pizzas

Yesterday evening, for our last evening in New Haven, we went for Sally's, the most famous among the pizza places. New Haven's Little Italy is conveniently located in Olive street. There is an arch with red green and white neon light, a several restarurants and shops,
I will post a couple of pictures taken by my colleague as soon as I will get them. Anyway, Sally's Apizza is shabby, like those rosticceria's that one can find near train stations in Italy, with benches and wooden table, it has been kept with a similar to its 1938 outlook as a photo testify, probably renovated last time in the 1980 and never since. There is nothing to it Italian, not a flag, not a picture, not a map, not even a photo of Sophia Loren!!! This felt reassuring!
No wine, only beer, or sodas. One can choose the ingredients, from a list of about 10, and the pizza comes in three sizes. We were 5, 1 Italian, 2 french, 2 Americans, we ordered 2 medium pizzas to be divided, as instructed, one pizza decided by the "Europeans" -sliced tomatoes, mozzarella and olives (they added the garlic), the other by the "Americans", tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushroom, sousage, pepperoni (which is not peppers but a a kind of salami) "it's good with two meats" they said. The place was not filled, however it took half an hour to get our pizzas, They were of the thin sort, cooked in brick oven, both very good, perfectly cooked and tasty!!!!!!!!
