I recently had the pleasure of taking a mini tour around New Haven with a friend, testing a variety of the finest apizza establishments around the city. This was the second stop on our quest. I had looked around and heard from my friend that the mashed potato and bacon was the pièce de resistance here. So we ventured out in the rainy weather to try it. Staff was kind and prompt, and made sure we were taken care of. This pie is probably some of the best I've tasted in my life, and having lived in NY/NJ, I've had some goooodd slices in my life. The salt and umami + the cheese combo is just A plus. And the crust is perfectly charred and thin. I paired it with the BAR lager which was the perfect beer to go with the pizza. Compliments to the individual who came up with this. Additionally, the interior is stunning - large windows, moody lighting with lots of wooden accents, fermentation vessels and a lovely painting above the bar on the other room. I'm so sad I've slept on New Haven pizza this long. I will surely be back. read more

The mashed potato and bacon pizza at BAR is one of my favorite things to eat in all of New Haven, and it's just as good as it was the first time I had it decades ago. My kid tried it for the first time this year and absolutely loved it, so hopefully there will be many more mashed potato and bacon pizzas in our future. I've had other pizzas here which are also good, but the mashed potato and bacon is my go-to. They do half/split pies as well, so it's a good way to try more than one type if you're a smaller group. Plenty of seating space, loud and casual inside, and family-friendly during the lunch and dinner hours. read more

My friend brought me here as she said their pizza was excellent. We sat outside on a lively August night in New Haven. Our server was friendly and engaging. We both ordered salads to start our meals. This thing was huge! It could have been my whole meal. I also ordered a small pizza with mashed potatoes and spinach toppings. Life.changing. It had little plops of mashed potatoes all over it! Seriously the best pizza I've ever eaten! I still think about that pizza and look forward to going back! read more

Starting National Pizza Week off the right way! With a classic New Haven favorite! You just can't beat a NH pizza . The perfect crisp, cheese, sauce, you can do no wrong.

Then one of their House Classics, Mashed Potato and Bacon: White Pizza, Mozzarella, Hand Mashed Potatoes, Brick Oven Cooked Bacon A couple of choices from their mocktail selection to wash it all down with. So so delicious. #dryjanuary - Apple Cider Donut: Apple Cider, Cinnamon, Lemon - Wave Runner: Lime, Passionfruit, Coconut, Mint Syrup, Soda CT really is the pizza Capitol of the World! read more

If you don't frequently visit New Haven, you probably only hit your one to three favorite pizza places when you're there. I have friends who spend a lot of time in New Haven, and their pizza roster is much deeper. Some of my most knowledgeable friends keep Bar in their plans for pizza (and beer). I've been to Bar, but before last weekend, it's probably been 20 years. My friends finally got in my ear about it. I walked in around 2 pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. I heard they had a large private party in the back. And the seating in the room to the left when you walk in was basically full. Bar had a very lively, fun and cool, large downtown bar atmosphere. I ordered a pizza to go and was told 30 to 40 minutes. I enjoyed a satisfying "You Juicin'" Hazy DIPA while I waited. My medium bacon, onion and sundried tomato with mozzarella was good. I tried two long rectangular strips why the pizza was still hot. The crust is very thin and had some char, but less char than many of the classic New Haven pizzas. The crust didn't have a lot of chew, but it did a good job of supporting the toppings. Of the toppings, the sundried tomatoes stood out. They were sweet and tart, and had the texture I love. The bacon was in small crispy bits. The onions were chopped and perhaps sautéed in butter. Maybe not, but they had that vibe. The red sauce wasn't really noticeable. The pizza had less melty, stretchy cheese than I prefer, which is understandable when the crust is this thin. This is a pizza combination I frequently order at some of my favorite places. This version was good, but doesn't make top tier for me. Bar is perhaps most famous for its mashed potato pizza. I suspect the best way to enjoy Bar is there, with a group of friends sharing a couple of large pizzas like the mashed potato, and sipping a house made IPA. My experience was good, and perhaps would have been better if I wasn't just getting takeout. Four Stars read more

Bar never fails to satisfy my tastebuds! Despite going on a Saturday night, I was seated quickly and the server was super attentive and friendly. There are several seating rooms, multiple bars and a dance floor in the back! My go-to is their famous mashed potato and bacon pizza. The dough is super thin and slightly charred on the crust. What I love most is how flavorful the toppings themselves are. The mashed potatoes are buttery and the bacon is salty and flavorful. Obviously there are plenty of top pizzas to choose from in New Haven but Bar is your place for unique and specialty pies. read more

Well, let's just say that we were not going to wait 1.5 hours in the sun to go to Sally's Apizza, so we ended up at BAR instead. The space is very cool--a converted old building with exposed brick and a super hip looking bar area. We were seated right away in the corner of the main room, which is nice and bright, but the Home Goods furniture felt out of place with the incredible surroundings. Anyway, they were understaffed so everything took forever, but our server was really sweet. We got two of their housemade beers, which were flat and not cold enough. Their key lime beer was unique but ultimately not very good; the ale was fine. We started with the house salad, and it was a huge portion, which we appreciated, but it was SO overdressed that the dressing was literally dripping off the leaves when we picked it up! The pecan clusters were great, and while we are never-fruit-in-salad people, we managed to enjoy the pear and bleu cheese combo going on. It would have been ideal with less dressing. For pizza, we got two smalls: the mashed potato bacon and the "portrait of New Haven." Honestly, the pizzas were very good if you like that New Haven style with the thinner crust. We were not fans of the mashed-potato bacon because it's just not our thing, but it was their most popular one so we felt like we had to try it. We did really like the red sauce pie with the meat and pepperocini on it. There was a ton of leftovers, so we felt like the value was there for what we were getting at BAR. Would we come here again? No. But, if you don't want to wait in line at Pepe's or Sally's, should you come here? Yes. Three satisfied stars. read more

Took my husband to BAR for the first time recently. We had to get the classic mashed potato pizza and some of their brews. The pizza is usually solid. Definitely the thinnest of the New Haven style and cut in rectangle slices. They have a great salad and they do it well. There is usually a wait, so be prepared. We were sat in the back room and were served quickly once we were sat. The room was big and the servers were nice. It's definitely a spot you need to hit! read more

We ordered a potato pie and Mexican street corn pizza, both are very good. Thin crispy crust was just right, charred not burnt. We started off at the bar with beer samplers. Their IPA is excellent, good floral note. The sour beer is good though not my favorite. I would like to try tomato pie and clam pie next time to compare with what I had at Pepe. The service is great. The ambience is awesome. read more

First bad experience at BAR. Monday, 4/6/26. Have been there four or five times, and they're usually my #3 New Haven pick behind Pepe's and Sally's. Called in an order at 8:00 for an 8:30 pickup. Plain pie, we'll-done. Guy who answered the phone not friendly at all. "Well, he was a man of few words." Arrived at BAR exactly 8:30. Pie was ready. GF ordered a soda, but was refused a glass of water. We decided to have a slice in the car. Pizza was cold. Not ice cold, but not even close to hot. After a little back & forth, decided to ask for a re-heat. Girlfriend went back, but door was locked. Yelp! says open to 11:00, it's now 8:35. GF explains the situation, and doorman lets her in. She goes back to the man of few words and asks if he'll put it back in the oven for a few minutes. "Can't put anything back in the oven. I can reheat a slice pie and give you that." Well, if one can go in why not the other? Takes the pie and a few minutes later, brings it back. Back out in the car, we see it's a totally different whole pie... remember we had tasted from the first... NOT well-done. Wasn't worth it to bang on the door again. Usually BAR is a 4 /4.5 stars. Tonight's service was terrible, so 2 stars read more

1st time visit. Great atmosphere, service , and options. Great local beers and the pizza options are great. You can also customize to what you want; a welcome addition. Service was great and we didn't wait too long for our food. This is a great option in New Haven. Not as busy as the other more popular pizza joints but just as good. read more

The barbecue brisket pizza in my opinion sets BAR apart from a lot of the other well known pizza spots in New Haven. The pizza at BAR is pretty standard but they have whimsical and unique flavors that understandably keep fans coming back for more. The BBQ brisket is a season flavor and a must try!! The brisket is succulent, flavorful and not too fatty. The pizza itself is so delicious! I don't go to BAR often but when I do, I have to get this pizza! read more

Top line - 4.5/5. I visited Frank Pepe's and Sally's, but two Yale alumni I knew both recommended this place over New Haven's "holy trinity" of pizza places. Ambiance - Came during the day for lunch, chill bar with music playing in the background soft enough to still have conversations. Service - I sat at the bar, and the bartender Byron was amazing! Super nice and helpful, switched the TV to throw on the big golf tournament, let me sample a couple of their house beers, and gave a recommendation to try both the mashed potato (their most famous pizza) and Mexican street corn (staff favorite) pie by splitting them half and half. Taste - Highly recommend the house made chocolate shoppe stout if you like Guinness with a hint of chocolate. You can only find it here, and it's one of the best beers I've ever had. The mashed potato pizza was good, but my gosh the Mexican street corn pizza was jaw dropping! So absolutely delicious. Expensiveness - About $20 for a small pizza, but absolutely worth the price. Beers are less than $10, which is good compared to big city prices. read more

(Last visited 11/21/2021.) After brunching at Barracuda in downtown New Haven we hung out for a while in the park, but now it's dinnertime and we're still here! Lol. My fiancée had mentioned visiting BAR back in her hay-day so she wanted to show me the ropes. Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place has such a presence inside and out. It's a staple in the downtown New Haven area so this place was pretty busy. The ceilings are so high and it felt like there were too main sections to this restaurant. There was the left side which is the bar area and much more lively then there was the right area which was more toned down. The big garage doors that open right out to the sidewalk were closed since it was cold, but it looked so industrial inside which was a pretty cool touch. There were big beer vats kinda stationed around, but I'm unsure if they actually brew their own beer here. They must, right? It's definitely a place to come and party for sure! Service: We sat at the bar and Jerry was our bartender. He took excellent care of us. He was funny, had an uplifting personality and just was an all-around fun person to have. Food: So... we were here around the time of Thanksgiving and there were whispers of a "Thanksgiving Pizza". C'mon man. How can we not get this? Lol. BAR is known for their pizzas being thin, crispy and cooked "New Haven" style, so we went for it! This thing came out and it was huge. On it was pulled turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy then sprinkled with cranberry sauce. It was actually quite magical. I had never had anything like it before and I absolutely loved how all of the ingredients went together, like a plate of food that you cook home from a Thanksgiving. Value: The pizza was only $21.00 and I think that was an incredible value. I'm very interested in coming to check this place out in the future to see what some of their signature pizzas are all about! read more

BAR - Thanksgiving Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Super thin crust is great. Ordered a Margarita and didn't realize it came with huge fresh tomatoes. It made the pizza a soggy mess. There was very little cheese because the tomatoes were so big and they were so watery. Recommend sticking with a straight up red or white pizza. Those looked great! read more

The pizza is always yummy here. I like the buffalo chicken, and the margherita is pretty good, too. The crust is thin, but sometimes it's too thin and gets a little soggy from the sauce. Other than that, I have no complaints! AMBIENCE: The restaurant itself is dimly lit so it can be hard to see at times, but it adds to the ambience. It does get pretty busy on Friday nights since it turns into a club. The club plays good music and is a fun time! read more

BAR - Buff Chick, Margherita - Pizza Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This is NOT "New Haven style" pizza. It is a wafer-thin crust with a LOT of toppings. So many toppings, in fact, that each slice was a soggy mess that could not be lifted without utensils (which were not given to us until we ASKED for them well after the pizza arrived). We had the mashed potato, the clams casino, and the vegetable pies. We went there with high expectations because of the great reputation BAR has, and these stellar reviews. Maybe we caught them on an "off" night (a Sunday) but we will not be back. If you want traditional NH pizza go to literally ANY of the many other local establishments, most of which are quite good! read more

We only tried the mashed potato bacon pizza and it was delicious! Fun spot with a spacious interior, bustling bar and pool table. read more

I will never forget the first time I went to Bar, it was my sister's 21st birthday & our server, Phoebe, made her celebration so fun and memorable! When you walk inside you instantly feel at home, with a nostalgic feeling from the brick oven and booths of wooden tables carved with lovers initials over the years. What a sweet testament to everyone who has shared a cheers here together. Since then we have been back MANY times, I would eat a slice of Bar pizza every single day if I could!! It's always worth the wait on busy weekends and the entire staff goes above & beyond to get you a seat as soon as possible. Debatably the best pizza in the entire country, what sets them apart from the rest of New Haven's pizza scene is the endless options. My favorite is the Eggplant parm but if you bring a large group of friends or family definitely try multiple flavor combos! Must get the Mashed potato bacon, BBQ brisket, and Street Corn Elote with takis, or create your own! Once I ordered take out on New Year's eve and was a little hesitant that it might not be as good on such a busy day of the year (for any restaurant). I was overjoyed when I got back to my hotel room and it tasted just as good as I remembered! And the take out counter was a breeze!!! The last time I went, the bartenders Hunter & Sammy were so knowledgeable, welcoming, and quick to get a drink in my hand! Do not sleep on the incredible cocktail selection, I love that they offer a seasonal drink menu to try something different & fun. They brew their own beer, my favorite is the seasonal sour with options like Strawberry Rhubarb or Blueberry pie! YUM! Thank you to the entire staff front & back for this gem of a restaurant I have met locals who tell me that they have enjoyed Bar's pizza for 20 years... I am sure that will be me someday! read more

A fun "bar-style" dining experience. Waiters are accommodating and friendly and service was quick! Bar salad has pears, bleu cheese, pecans, cranberries and a lovely light vinaigrette that was delicious to eat with the pizza. Mashed potato pizza with bacon was to die for...so creamy from the potatoes but the bacon adds the flavor and the crisp. Clam pizza has peppers (can be spicy) and is LOADED with clam. I loved how thin the crusts are bc we are truly eating the pizza for the toppings here, not the dough. Def a must try when in New Haven. read more

If your question is, is the food good here, the answer is yes. If your question is, is this the best pizza in New Haven, my answer is I don't know I haven't had all the pizza in New Haven. I came here with a coworker to try the famous pizza pie. One thing we would have appreciated was a heads up HOW BIG everything was going to be. Luckily we had fridges in our hotel! One thing I didn't like was my cocktail. Some how my Paper Plane was weak and flavorless?? But it looked cute. The salad was delicious. My coworker doesn't normally like blue cheese and she even thought it was great! Our pizza was everything you want from a thin crust. Great flavor in the sauce, quality toppins, and a flavor explosion in your mouth. I would go back! read more

I rlly liked the pizza! I ordered a medium and it was pretty big. Love that! I also loved the toppings. We ordered spinach and it tasted super fresh. Good job!! I think the pizza could use a tiny bit more sauce but otherwise perfect. The service was good too! I don't personally love the ambiance. It feels like a brewery or something, which is not really my thing. But overall really nice! read more

BAR pizza seems to be a lot of people's favorites around here, so I ventured out today to taste it for myself! When you enter, there will be someone to greet you and ask you what you want. Since I wanted takeout, I was directed to walk straight past the stairs to the back and order at the counter. The staff were really friendly and told me to check back with them in 30 minutes. Luckily it was ready by then! I ordered a Small Red Pie with Mozzarella, with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, meatball, and white clam. The crust was so thin, chewy, and not over-baked to the point of crunchiness at all! Dining area was very lively on a Saturday evening. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. When I left, there was a huge line that went past the restaurant front--a testament to how popular the place is. read more

BAR - Small Red Pie with Mozzarella with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, meatball (1/2), and white clam (1/4) - Pizza Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Tbh the fact that this place has 3.8 stars on Yelp seriously deterred me from going here initially but I couldn't have been happier going to this place! The ambiance is super cute -- big windows, lots of space but also cozy. The servers were also super friendly and attentive. We offered 3 beers and the clam pie. Two of the beers were just ok, but their pie eating contest: blueberry pie sour was PHENOMENAL. I'm used to flavored sours being heavy and sometimes tasting like battery acid, but this beer was light, crisp, summery, and tasted JUST LIKE blueberry pie. Now keep in mind that I don't really like clams and was not stoked at the prospect of ordering a white pizza, but the clam pizza was also out of this world. The clams were huge, hand shucked and meaty -- there was the perfect amount of cheese and the crust wasn't too floppy or too crispy. That pizza SLAPPED. We were planning on taking some home, but ended up eating the whole thing. I took a 32 oz can of the blueberry beer home and all of my friends loved it when I brought it to a party later that night. This place really blew some of the other classic New Haven spots out of the water. Do NOT skip this place!!! read more

Really good pizza and price. Worth checking out when in New Haven. It's gets crowded quick.

Pizzas are great but service is busy and (thus) slooooooooow. Definitely give yourself a lot of time if you're heading here. Always a wait on weekends and everything (water, drinks, pizza) takes a while. read more

On a previous Yelp thread I gave Bar four stars. However, I have to say after this last pie, Bar pushed their rating up to Five stars. Their pizza is a thin crust version of Modern Apizza. With that said, the cheese pull was simply marvellous; The sausage was excellent and the tomato sauce was unbelievably tasty; the best New Haven has to offer. So, if you're going on the New Haven apizza tour anytime soon, stop here first. That's a review. read more

We had a great time at Bar on a Tuesday night. Our server, Rosie, was perfection always there whenever we needed anything and making sure that everything she brought us was satisfactory. I had a couple IPAs (Middle Child and another that I can't recall the name of). My friend had a couple mixed drinks. We had a large pizza (half Eggplant Parm and half Carnivore) and it was excellent. We could have finished it but my friend took a couple pieces home instead of us stuffing ourselves. For 2 guys the large is the right size. Anything smaller would not be adequate. It was pretty busy and a bit noisy but the staff managed everything very well and we had an excellent time catching up after a few years not being able to get together. I think we'll continue to meet up at Bar. There are a lot of other great spots nearby but it's hard to beat such an excellent establishment! read more

Now I can say I have tried the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and the Pope of New Haven pizza. Is it a pub? A nightclub? A restaurant? A microbrewery? It might as well be all of the above! Suggesting that this the weakest of the four well known pizzerias in New Haven would be an understatement. They all are very good, to some degree. You just have to find the crevices in them to find which one is best. I got two pies, a standard mozzarella and their famed mashed potato pie, because the latter is incredibly popular here. The mashed potato pie, weird as it sounds, is delicious. However, after three slices, you realize why mashed potato and pizza do not go hand in hand. It makes you hit a wall, hard. Boy do you feel it. The mozzarella pie is delicious. Great sauce, good crust, and you get plenty of both in each slice. I could have easily finished this whole pie. I did not like how both pies cool real fast. Like only after a minute after it hits the serving table it is already cooling. Cold pizza is something I do not enjoy. If you are looking for something to eat with a group, this works well, especially for those poor Yale college students. read more

Best pizza in Connecticut. The mashed potato pizza always a fan favorite, but all pizzas have been good, prices seem fair given how large the pizzas are.

We met friends at BAR for pizza and drinks. It was somewhat crowded but we secured a picnic table near the kitchen. We ordered 2 large pepperoni pizzas, a ginger ale, 2 diet cokes and an ice tea. It took a very long time to get our drinks. The ginger ale was watery. The restaurant cleared outThe pizza came after a very long wait at least 45 minutes. It was not pepperoni, it was plain. The waitress took it back and then after another very long wait she brought 1 pepperoni pie. We asked for the other one and she said it was in the oven. That one came out after another very long wait. Our bill came and we were charged for 3 pizzas. My husband was so upset and embarrassed he signed the check and we left. The most insulting part was that we had the table literally in front of the kitchen. read more

We were a party of eight with reservations. We were placed in a back room at a long picnic type table. Service started out well, but ended quickly afterwards, and we had a lot of difficulty. The server never returned, and our orders were never delivered. Apparently they had a special birthday event booked for that back room, and because of the exorbitant amount of time that it took to receive any of our food, they needed to move us to a different table out of that specific room. After that things got much better. We were comped some cocktails, a salad, a pizza many things so the overall wonderful service that was received in the second half of our visit was certainly wonderful and everything was absolutely delicious. The salads are amazing, The pizza's, especially the local neighborhood. one is really good so it all turned out fine but it did turn out to be a three hour experience. read more

Their brewed beer was very good, nice selection too. The pizza was ok. Large place, great service.

Haven't been to Bar in years so thought we'd check it out. Service was great! Both the hostess and bartender were friendly and helpful. We ordered a can of non-alcoholic IPA ($7.50) and a mocktail ($9.00) and a medium Buff Chick Pizza (34.95). Pizza crust was thin and crisp just the way I like it. Pizza itself was decent. Don't think I'd get that one again. Next time I would try a different pizza. read more

The wait was a bit long but once we were seated we received excellent customer service our waitress was very personable and pleasant. We ordered 4 pizzas, two mashed potato bacon, one cheese and one marhgerita white sauce pizza. In my opinion and as my first time actually eating here ( I've been to the club parts when I lived in CT), I wasn't impressed by the super thin crust, it's literally cracker like and seems way too thin for the toppings. If you plan on going here just know that the only food the serve is pizza and salads that's it, nothing else. No appetizer's or anything like that. They only take reservations for a party of 8 or larger also. I'm glad I got to finally taste it though and see what all the fuss was about, but it's not my personal preference on pizza style. But just because it wasn't my cup of tea doesn't mean it won't be yours! :) read more

My go-to pizza spot, especially if any friends are visiting from out of town! I've been here several times now and the pizza, drinks, ambiance, and service never disappoint. In terms of the pizza, I love how the crust is consistently super thin and crispy, and the pies come out piping hot. It can get a little pricey depending on the ingredients and size - the seasonal lobster pie cost around $40 this summer. My favorite pie is the eggplant parm with ricotta. If you eat pork, the mashed potatoes with bacon is a must try - the potatoes are super creamy and are perfect with the crisp bacon and crust! There's an extensive list of house-brewed beers that are seasonal as well. Definitely don't forget your ID since they check at the door. read more

I spent a couple of days in New Haven and made it a point to get to BAR over other more traditional places because I thought the menu read great. My first question to the server was "should I go with the Mashed Potato & Bacon (Traditionally on a White pizza, Mozzarella,Hand Mashed Potatoes, Brick Oven Cooked Bacon) pizza?" It gets a lot of attention and everyone loves it. He said "that's what we're known for but the BBQ Brisket (White pizza, Mozzarella, Smoked Brisket, Red Onions, Cilantro, BBQ Sauce, Jalapenos and Cheddar) is actually my favorite and our best seller." This makes it tough because that sounds good too so he suggested I do a half and half. Great suggestion! Sold! So the crust at BAR is very similar to the other New Haven pizza joints but they have a brick oven instead of a coal fired oven and I thought there was less char on this crust than the others I had. I loved both halves of this pizza. The mashed potato side was basically smooth creamy loaded mashed potato on a pizza crust. The BBQ Brisket side was incredibly flavorful with the BBQ sauce and fresh jalapenos. If I went back I'd order it again. The other places are just pizzerias but BAR has a little more personality. It's a place you can eat but also a place you want to hang out and socialize. Great place! read more

Solid New Haven style pizza without the wait. We tried Pepe's first, but I'm just not the type of person who will wait on an hour plus line for food. It's not going to happen. So, it's not likely that I'll be trying Pepe's. BAR has a better ambiance anyways. Lots of outdoor beer garden style tables and a full drink menu. On a nice day this was the perfect place to enjoy some pizza and a beer. The menu isn't huge - you're there for pizza. In fact, I think the only other item on the menu is a house salad. Pizza ranges from classic to fun toppings like mashed potato and of course, clam. You can order in a variety of sizes. We tried the plain and the sausage ricotta. l wish the pizza was a little hotter and crispier, but it was still really delicious. Perfectly crispy with a nice crunch and a tasty red sauce. We washed everything down with watermelon beers which were crisp and refreshing. For beer and New Haven apizza in a fun ambiance you absolutely cannot go wrong. I just wish the bathroom had a baby changing table. I'm always confused when spots that seem family friendly (AKA a pizza restaurant) don't! In any case, solid 'za. read more
