We ordered takeout from this pizza place. Compared to Wooster St. famous restaurants this pizza is good, but not the top tier. I loved that it was a thin crust. I also had the Caesar salad which was good. They do offer gluten free pizza and the people who chose that enjoyed it. If you need delivery, this place is goo but if you can dine in a restaurant and are in New Haven, head to Wooster St. read more

New Haven, the great debate about pizza places and this is a hidden gem. Fast service, reasonable prices, great food.

Good CT style pizza. Hot & fresh! No frills. The place was empty though and I felt like it took a really long time for our pie, but at least it tasted good! read more

3.29.24 I was really really excited to try this place. And I was really excited from afar until I finally went here. I must have gotten them on a couple of their worst days/nights when they faulted. The only food I've tried here so far has been their meatball parm grinders. The service at the counter was the usual that you expect. Nothing outstanding but nothing awful either. The plus is that they carry the awesome foxon park soda. Birch beer is the fav. The windows are nicely decorated that you can see from outside easily viewable. They were a swing and a huge miss. I can say without exaggeration that I have never had or experienced crunchy meatballs until I ate here. I was shocked at how not good the grinder was and some of it had crunchy meatballs. All of the meatballs were hard but some were crunchy which was so odd and bizarre for me. I have heard so many good things about this place and I continue to hear more good lately. Especially from Suzanne who raves about this place. I'll be back to try to get them on their usual good day. Looking forward to better food next time around. read more

Dayton Street Apizza was a-ok. We ordered for dine in and we were able to grab a table easily. There are only a few tables inside, but it wasn't busy. We tried the garlic bread, cheese pizza, and the New Haven Fresh Clam pizza. The clam pizza comes with mozzarella and garlic on an olive oil base. They also provided a side of lemon. It was very tasty! The cheese pizza was fine. The crust is on the thin and crispy side. Service was okay, they brought our pizza out. Not a bad place to stop, but I don't know that I would return. read more

Been going here for a very long time. Today 10-15-25 I paid 25$ plus tip for a very burnt pizza. If I didn't live 26 mins away I would throw it back in the restaurant. read more

Quick and easy, there is a great selection on the menu including gluten-free. The pizza was light, somewhat healthy and a perfect mid afternoon snack. The tomatoes were fresh and the pie was cooked to perfection! read more

Just enjoyed a stellar New Haven white clam apizza @ Dayton Street Apizza in New Haven. I put Dayton Street among the very best I've tried in the area. And the actual interior of the restaurant is very inviting. Very clean, large well designed wood tables, spotless restroom. Frankly, everything about the place is impressive, including the people who work there greeting customers and crafting apizza. Easy five stars. read more

Surprisingly good. Never been here before and was really pleased.. that being said, it's too pricey. If you're in New Haven, you probably know pizza is a thing. The usual places you'd go also charge an arm and a leg, but those are the very well known places. While the pizza is good, I can't say this is comparable to that of the New Haven pizza giants. Place was clean and the people are super nice. But, I had a small plain cheese and that alone came to $13. Toppings were an extra $2 or so, and just couldn't spend that for a small. Considering the area (all the way in Westville), you'd really think it'd be more affordable. read more

The combo apizza here was delicious! It was huge and was plenty for three of us. Generously covered with my favorite toppings including pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. The crust is baked crisp and I liked that it wasn't overly charred like some other places. A great addition to the New Haven apizza scene. read more

I just called to give Dayton St., Pizza to order dinner and was told the menu I'm looking at is wrong the prices are $10 for all sandwiches and the menu that I'm looking at is not the correct one? It doesn't make any sense. I am looking at Dayton St., Pizza menu in Westville. How could it be incorrect? I am so confused by the person answering the phone at Dayton St., Pizza. I asked him if I should drive down there and show him the menu I'm looking at. He said it doesn't really matter because he hastto charge me the prices that are in the system. I am looking at the menu and being told that the prices are much higher. Please see the picture attached which shows the page of the menu. The price is $6.95 maybe up date your menu that's on your website?? read more

Hello everyone; After receiving a message from Dayton Street Apizza's business manager Sara H, I decided to stop in to try their pizza again. My original critique of their pie was about the lack of basil and oregano. Her responds was that "they don't put oregano in their pizza sauce, they have it on the side, this way costumers can put it on themselves." So, to be fair, I decided to stop in again and try Dayton Street pizza one more time adding the oregano. So, I grabbed the oregano shaker on the counter, and you know what... it made a big difference. The dried oregano substantially elevated the pizza ! As a matter of fact; it totally changed the way the sauce tasted. Nonetheless, I still thought the sauce was still very tomatoee, which I liked of course, because it made the pizza taste clean and effervescence. Moreover, the oregano added the herbaceous dynamic needed. So, with that said, I now officially have Dayton Street Apizza on my top ten best pizzas list. So, thanks Sara H for pointing out how to properly eat a Dayton Street pizza. And I'll reiterate, the sausage was top quality. The crust was crispy and spot on delicious, and this time they piled on the motz the way I like it. So, stop in, and grab a pizza. This spot is one of the best New Haven has to offer, and make sure Dayton Street is one of your destination stops on the New Haven pizza tour when visiting. That's a review, and don't forget the oregano. read more

Dayton Street Apizza is hard to score. The crust was great, crispy and flavorful, but they don't load a lot of cheese on the pie, all though the sausage is of a good quality. On the flip, the tomato sauce is really tomatoee, which I like, but it lacks basil and oregano. Overall, it was a decent pie. read more

This is decent pizza, it's not "apizza." Please don't order a pizza here expecting New Haven style pizza. This is a doughy, chewy crust. Not the thin, charred crust from the historic "apizza" ovens. We recently had an issue with an online order, so I would recommend ordering from them directly. They replaced our pizza after we returned our original pizza. (I would advise against ordering the clam casino.) This is a neighborhood pizza joint that is good for a quick meal, but I wouldn't expect much. read more

I called tonight for a delivery and spoke to a young woman on the phone and placed my order. She asked me if I would like to leave a tip for the driver and I said sure, you can add $2 for a tip after realizing that a simple pasta dish and stuffed bread would cost over $33 which are insanely high prices to begin with. Her response was "Wow" and then proceeded to hang up on me. I was so taken aback by her rudeness that I decided I didn't want to give this establishment my business so I called back. When I told her that I wanted to cancel my order because she was so rude she said "Yup, that's fine and hung up on me for the second time". I can promise I will be calling back to speak with the owner to let her know she has an absolute unprofessional, rude dolt answering her phones that will cost her business. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Great pizza and usually pretty fast delivery for westville orders for delivery. The pizza toppings are pretty tasty as well

I'm from out of town so Im one and done. The pizza was jusr average. I paid $30 for a large meat eaters which consisted of pepperoni, sausage and bacon. The portions were VERY small and the cheese was a low quality menu item. I also noted how incredibly thin the pizza was. I guess that's common for the area? I will say the taste wasn't bad. I also ordered for a pickup time of 6:40 pm. It was ready at 7:10 pm. I even ordered an hour earlier. Busy night? I'll be back to visit family later in the year but I definitely wouldn't return to this establishment. read more

I've lived in New Haven for 23 years. Went to Hopkins during highschool, which happens to be a stones throw away from Dayton Street Apizza. Their margherita pizza is very unique, in that it is topped with entire halves of plum tomatoes. It sounds like a crazy idea, but it is well worth the experience. Shame that they dont have any photos of their delicious margherita pizza on this site. 10/10 better than Sallys, Pepes, Bar, Modern, etc. read more

This place used to be amazing, but the dough changed then followed the crust, my favorite part of a good new Haven pie. A little on the pricey side for the Quality of pie you get. The last time we ordered my 13 yr old son said it made him sick . There are definitely better places to get a good pizza. read more

This was our first pizza experience after moving to New Haven, and is the closest place to our new home. We ordered a large after a long day of unpacking, with sausage, roasted red peppers and ricotta. Well balanced, not greasy, nice crust...this will definitely be our go-to pizza place given the location. read more

We had a group lunch here (almost 20 people), and it was great! I worked with the owner / staff to pre-order and plan everything ahead of time, and everything was served and ready just as promised. They were so accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious! I would definitely plan another group event there. read more

We were traveling thru CT on the Merritt and wanted some New Haven style Pizza but didn't want to wait at Pepes or Sally's. We found Dayton via Roadfood and it was awesome!! They told me 20 mins. It's was ready in 15. And it was outrageous. The place was also super nice and clean and new looking inside. We will def be hitting up Dayton again on our way back thru to NJ. Awesome pie. Well done! read more

Solid New Haven style Apizza! My go to place for quality! Staff is awesome and food is top notch. Subs are AMAZING, especially the IlPannini with a chicken cutlet.....off the hook! read more

The pizza was great unfortunately I ordered the worst sausage grinder imaginable, completely inedible. I originally asked the a sausage parmigiana grinder. The person said peppers and onions? I responded yes assuming that it would be added to the grinder. To my disappointment it was simply dry ground up sausage with some peppers and barely present onions. When I called to ask about the parmigiana I was told they don't make it that way. I just responded I wish you told me that because I wouldn't have ordered it. The response was we don't make it that way. read more

The first time I go to a pizza place to try it out I always get a half plain half pepperoni as my test pie. This one passed with flying colors. There was not a lot of grease which you usually expect with pepperoni which was a big plus for me. The crust was crisp and had excellent flavor with minimal soot on the bottom of the pie. To top it off, the girls in the store when I picked up had perfect personalities and the right mindset to make a customer feel welcome. read more

Update: Since my original review I've ordered take-out or gotten delivery here multiple time and with the exception of one delivery that was cold by the time it got to me every meal has been great! I do have to concede that for pizza Pepe's -or- Sally's are still my favorites but not by much flavor-wise. However if you factor in how annoying it can be to schlepp down to Wooster st Dayton st wins going away. This is now my go-to place for Italian take-out! *(rating upped to 5 stars) read more

Dayton Street is pretty decent pizza. I think if it wasn't in New Haven it would be great pizza because everyone wouldnt try to compare it to the big three, etc.. We have driven by here many times on our way to Ernie's Pizza when we didnt want cross through new haven for pizza, and I heard good things so this time we stopped in. Parking lot was empty, and it felt a little bit sketchy. The restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly. Not really a big sit-down restaurant, maybe 6 small tables. Lots on the menu but we were here for pizza. They must do a crazy delivery business judging by the delivery cars queued up in the lot.. if I were in delivery range this would probably be who I called when I was in a Howard Hughes mood. The small cheese pizza we had was good, crust wasnt really charred like I hoped it would be, by new haven standards it would be called undercooked, but still it was nice and thin and crisp. The tomato sauce was more like fine crushed tomatos, plain and simple with a nice freshness. cheese was also very good on the pie. not too much. not too little. not too greasy. overall this was a decent pie and it is good to know Dayton Street Apizza is here and to have one more pizza option in the area. The foxon gassosa is always good with pizza too. read more

We have been ordered from Dayton street for years, maybe since they opened. It is consistently very good. When my family visits from Maine they always ask for the Dayton street shrimp pizza, it is so good! My favorite is the Gnocchi. It is loaded with cheese and sauce. It is addictive1 read more

Dayton Street Apizza is actual proof that you don't need a coal oven or a fancy smanchy italian-made wood oven to make excellent pizza. Their pizza makers make due with ordinary gas ovens. And yet their pizza has that slightly charred crust which is famous in New Haven pizza. Kudos to them for that. They get it, when it comes to charred crust. The only thing I don't like is that the pizza does not carry much bang for your buck. Their small size pizza costs $10 and it's kinda wimpy in weight. Pepe's, by comparison, charges $8 for the same size and theirs is slightly more substantial in weight. read more

I ordered grinders and wings over the phone to pick up on my way home. I ordered a meatball grinder sans sauce with lettuce tomato and onions, BBQ wings and another grinder for my lunch companion. The wings were so-so. Deep fried, over sauced and just ok. My meatball grinder was as ordered however the meatballs had clearly been sitting in sauce before being put on my sandwich. Had I known that I would have altered my order. The woman working the register however was a delight! She was personable and genuinely friendly enough so to overlook the faux pas on my meatball sub. The inside of this establishment is extremely small with two and four top tables close together. Parking is in the rear and along the side with the entrance on Dayton street. read more

This is a quick and easy stop for pizza without going into downtown New Haven (and they deliver)! Yummy pizza, and they have a great pasta menu as well. (I recommend the gnocchi!) They also serve Foxon park sodas, a CT staple. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, too! read more

Dayton St has delivered to my house before (during the pandemic). We're a 7 minute drive, closer than most of New Haven, and their website proudly states they deliver to New Haven. When we plug in our address on Door Dash, it says Dayton St will deliver. But tonight on the phone, we were told they don't deliver to our address, and they abruptly hung up. Not a smart business move the same week that Sally's starts delivering. Oh, and the pizza itself is just OK. Hardly the worst in town, but nowhere near the best. read more
