This New Haven style pizza (apizza) joint is nestled in North Haven. We would consider this to be a well-balanced pie. Not too thick. Not too thin. Enough char to show on your fingers. Melty cheese. Great specialty pies. Familiar New Haven sauce. We loved the staff and the laid back unchanged atmosphere. Great for a quick sit down or take out. We can't wait until the next visit! read more

We drove over an hour from southern RI to try out this place. Steve and John welcomed us in and gave us a tour. There's about 8 booths- It's a bit on the small side but the food was fantastic. Hubby and I were born and raised in NYC. It's been so long we've had really good pizza. John and Steve brought out pie after pie. We had the plain, plain with grated cheese, tomato with fresh mozzarella, clam with bacon, mangia special, Stevie Gs apple pizza, mashed potato pizza. We brought in our homemade suppi and they put it on some of our pies. We also tried the eggplant Parmesan and garlic knots. The plain pies, mashed potato, and the mangia special were my favorites but really everything there was top notch. There is nothing that I wouldn't order again. The crust is nice and crunchy. Good char on it. Sauce was delicious - not sour like straight from a can. Toppings were better than I expected for a small pizza spot. Sausage was tasty. Mushrooms were fresh not tinned, fresh tomatoes and basil. Tons of clams on the pizza. Bacon was thick sliced and left almost whole. Eggplant was sliced thin. Generous with the toppings. Even better than their pizza- is their service. It was my first time meeting them and I felt like an old friend. They were so friendly, chatted with us, told us stories -- we really had a good time. The older gentleman who brought out the food and took away the empty trays was very thorough- checked in on us regularly. Mangia Apizza is easy to miss - connected to Vick's Cafe (really it's a bar). Stop in and grab a pizza. You won't be sorry. And if you want someone to talk your ears off - stop in and eat at a booth. I wish they were closer!! read more

I been wanting to try Mangia Apizza for sometime now. Surprisingly for a Saturday night when I was there they were not very busy. They have indoor seating but I noticed a sign stating No Public Restrooms. I ordered a large (only 16") mozz, half sausage pie to go. Their sauce and sausage were excellent, and the pie was perfectly cooked. The pie had a nice thin crust but I found it the be tough and chewy. Service was fast, friendly. read more

Trying out Mangia Apizza for the first time as I was looking to grab a quick bite to eat with a friend on our way to a concert up in Hartford. He was familiar with the area and Dave Portnoy from Barstool had made a stop through here recently and gave it an 8.2 score. Any score over an 8 is his words worth a drive, luckily this place was nearby! We will greeted at the door welcoming us, pulled up to the counter and grabbed our pizza to go. We stuck with the basic, a large cheese. Price you might ask? $18.18. That's a terrific price these days for a high quality pie. The pizza was New Haven style of course, had a great char on it, slightly runny in the middle but that is nitpicking at best, no big deal! Pizza itself was delicious, good crunch and flavor. They have some booths inside if you are looking to dine. The New Haven area has no shortage of great pizza places to select from, you can absolutely add this one to the list!! read more

Their thin crust pizza is amazing. The Apple pie pizza for dessert was perfect . I think anyone who likes Sally's or Frank's will be surprisingly pleased. read more

I first heard about Mangia pizza on Dave Portnoy's one bite pizza reviews. The pie looked amazing on the review. Sure enough the pizza was delicious when I ordered it! The cash price is cheaper so bring cash. I've eaten inside - but it's set up more for takeout. The pizza itself is really unique. It has an Italian bread consistency to the dough. The owner seems like a solid guy. He's always there and he's always cooking and serving. It seems like they have a family vibe there. Would reccomend!! read more

Had two pies, broccoli rabe and sausage and their pizza margarita, fresh mozzarella, basil and tomato sauce. Both pies were great and recommended if those are your tastes. Great costumer service, very personable and friendly. This was take out and immediately after opening so ambiance wasn't rated, but I could see things happening there. read more

There are all kinds of pizzas, and I'm not married to any particular style. Good is good in my book. When you say pizza though, and I formulate an image in my mind, it looks like the Mangia Special. The Moz is melted just right. The outer crust is the right thickness. The undercarriage is thin, but thick enough to hold the ingredients and it's good chewy. It has good char, but not too much of it. The toppings look like old school pizza toppings. The meat (pepperoni, sausage and bacon) and veggies (onion, peppers and shrooms) are balanced. The red sauce looks and tastes great. This was my first visit to Mangia. It was my number 1 Yelp search result for North Haven pizza. There are some tables for inside eating, but the atmosphere is not necessarily a selling point. They did a brisk take out business while I was there. The pizza was as good as I've had this year. Also, the Mangia crew was very friendly and made me feel welcome. Even when, upon arrival, I changed my phone in to go order, to a dine in order. If you value great pizza and service, you should try Mangia. Thanks Mangia for a great experience. Happy Yelp #thankyouthursday ! Five Stars read more

I hold two foods in the 'happy foods' category....Pizza and tacos. When you eat either, it just makes your soul smile. If you are ever close to this happy food location, I beg of you, check them out! While visiting my sister we ordered several pizzas and I could have made myself sick eating ALLLL the pizza...We had the clam pizza (dear Lord in heaven, I need more of this in my life), the cheese (yes, yes, and yes) and the pizza with sauce only ( I didn't try it but it looked amazing and my family scarfed it down!). The only drawback with this spot is that it is in North Haven and I am in Georgia and they probably won't deliver.... read more

Driving down from the pizza wasteland that is Bristol I had high hopes for Mangia Apizza and my expectations were exceeded. When I lifted the lid on my small cheese pizza to go It was love at first sight. Picture perfect with the taste to match. The crust, sauce and cheese were all beyond reproach. No pizza is perfect but I can't find anything that I don't like about this place including the staff who were great. I'll definitely be back. read more

Mangia Apizza - Small Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - North Haven, Connecticut

We avoided trying this place for quite sometime for no good reason other than it looked questionable as it's connected to a dive/biker bar. Finally decided that it might be a great pizza place and we were right. Definitely nothing to look at, as far as location or the interior of the restaurant, however for take out it is a good pick for the area. Their house pizza "Mangia Special" was so delicious! Also can't go wrong with a classic mozz or one topping pizza. read more

Five star experience. Outstanding white clam apizza. Crust was perfect. Rivaled any crust I've had on Wooster. These guys know exactly what they are doing in the kitchen and on the floor. Interior of the restaurant was very clean with numerous booths - large and comfortable. Restroom was spotless. This is a great New Haven style pizza place. Ownership can't be beat. Good people. read more

I was just sitting at a red light, minding my own business, when I happened to look off to my right to notice what looked like a lot more cars than I normally see in that small parking lot. As I was contemplating this, I noticed for the first time a sign that reads MANGIA PIZZA. "Ooh!" I though to myself, "Mangia means 'eat' or 'eat up' in Italian! And pizza means pizza!" I went home and jumped online to scope out the menu online before calling in to order a pie a couple days later. I walked in to find the place bigger and with more seating than I expected. I picked up my pizza pie and buckled it safely into my passenger seat for the ride home. I snapped a quick pic of the pie before I mangia'd, making relatively short work of it. Yes, I ate that whole pizza in one sitting. It's how I roll. The pizza was great! Veggie pizza, no cheese at all...just about the best of such pies you'll find out there. I'll definitely pop in for another pie soon! read more

Mangia Apizza - Pizza Near Me - North Haven, Connecticut

What you want from any restaurant is to taste the passion through the food. You want to know the chefs care from the first bite. That's what you'll experience if you eat here. The owners are brothers that have been in the pizza business since they were thirteen and have worked in all the famous pizza spots across New Haven. They took all their experience and opened up Mangia using their own family recipes. They came over to not only ask my preference on how I prefer my pizza cooked (of course I told them to make it how they think it should be made because who am I?) but they also came over as I was eating to see what I thought. I always appreciate owners that care to receive feedback from their customers. I'm from NY so I wasn't in love with the Patriots gear they were wearing but the pizza certainly made up for it. If you're unfamiliar with the New Haven area type of pizza it's thin dough with a charred crust. Still has some chew to it but by no means is it a doughy style of pizza. Their dough is scratch made and cooked to perfection. It holds up firm and has a nice char. These are 12 inch thin crust pizzas so they're great to share with multiple people. I ordered a small cheese pie with half sausage and a small clams casino pie. All the ingredients used are as fresh as a moody teenager. Not only is the dough scratch made but everything is. They were making sauce for the dinner service when I got there around noon and offered me to try it and I'm glad I did because it was delicious. I wanted to climb inside the pot and soak in the sauce. I was given a house made loaf of bread to take on the road because they take such pride in what they do and wanted to share that with me. The price was another highlight. The owners specifically said they priced their food out to be approachable for everyone. They're in the business because they love what they do and want to share it with their customers. For two 12 inch pizzas with all those toppings it came out to roughly under $40. I thought I was getting a discount for being so handsome but apparently that's just the standard price. The decor isn't anything to write about but I don't go to a pizza place for the architecture or artwork. I go for the food. It's a very casual atmosphere and if you're into feeling like family at the places you eat this place is for you. Good vibes if you strike up conversation with these friendly and passionate owners and even better food. If you're a pizza person you should absolutely add this to your list of places to pig out at. Uncle Nick won't steer you wrong! read more

I've been to all the "major" pizzerias in the New Haven area (except Zuupardi's...hopefully soon!). I'll put Mangia head to head with any of them. Their prices are good and their pie is excellent.

Mangia Apizza - 16" pie. This is a large pizza from Mangia. Just refuting another reviewer who said they serve mediums as larges. - Pizza Near Me - North Haven, Connecticut

My wife and I are huge pizza snobs. We heard nothing but great things about the newly opened Mangia Apizza, so we had to check it out. This location has been home to a number of different pizzerias over the years, but they never last more than a few years. Mangia Apizza is definitely here to stay! My wife went out to a local winery with some co-workers. They stopped at Mangia to get a pie to bring to the winery. They ordered a mashed potato pizza; half with bacon and half with no bacon. Mangia accidentally made the whole pie with bacon. They said, "We're very sorry. Give us 10 minutes. We'll make the pie that you originally wanted and you can have both pies for the price of one." They loved the pizza! I stopped by a couple of hours later to get take-out for myself. I ordered three smalls: the fresh tomato, the margherita, and the senor bunce (eggplant, ricotta and bacon). Holy cow!! These guys definitely know what they are doing! The sauce was perfect and the crust was super crisp. Not quite as good as Modern, Pepe's or Sally's, but definitely very close. This place may just become our new go-to for take-out pizza! read more

I'm going to have to go middle of the road on this one. This place should only be open for takeout. The place is dingy and in disarray. You need to partially enter the kitchen to get to the bathroom - where a crudely handwritten sign awaits (I won't bother with what it says, but it's just odd) We ordered garlic knots. The guy apologized for the wait because he had to make fresh ones. Two of us just wanted cups of water. That wasn't available - only bottled. He'd have to go next door to get tap. The pizza is fine. Yes, that is the main focus and why we went. It was just an overall strange outing for pizza. I'll stick to takeout here. read more
