    I was looking for a place to go with my two sons (7 and 5) and my wife that we A. had not been before and B. Looked either interesting or tasty... or both. We decided to try next door. The night we went it was rainy. It was not a really big deal because the parking is very manageable - especially considering it's New Haven. We ordered some pizza, chicken wings and dessert. The food was AMAZING. Super fresh, very tasty and presentation was perfect. We literally ate everything. The only thing I snapped a photo of was my dessert. The wait staff were very kind. They provided my boys crayons and stuff to keep them busy. They always smiled and were very attentive. The Resturaunt itself was spacious, beautiful and clean. I got the impression that everyone that was working there, was happy to be there. And we were too!! 9.1/10

    Honestly crushed! Found out they were closing 2 weeks ago and we came last weekend and dined in and came for take out just now and on both occasions, complete debacle! Dine in experience the service at the bar from Jose was probably one of the worst experiences ever and the food matched it as the pies were undercooked and we never had the chance to say anything as Jose couldn't understand hand signals or stares of help! Our pick up experience their last weekend was even more so disappointing. 2/3 pies were dry and the third pie was undercooked. Called them to let them know immediately and the girl who picked up with a slight accent never apologized nor did she even let us speak to manager or offer to even remake the one pie I really complained about which was the New Haven Pie. Sadly they are leaving a bad taste in my mouth and wish I had never gone back so as not to tarnish the positive experience that we had a few years back-nothing near what I remembered!

    So the ambiance is fantastic with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. The service is top notch. Our server was very friendly and the food came out super fast. My espresso martini was incredible. (No Bailey's just as I like it.) The Caesar salad was absolutely delicious and a delightful surprise. As far as the pizza goes, I need to preface this with the fact that I am a complete pizza snob. The reason we ended up here tonight was because Modern Apizza was mobbed and I wasn't waiting an hour with a toddler in tow. (For the record I would have totally waited an hour sans toddler.) Anyway - the cheese pie has potential. The cheese and sauce are great but I can't get over the flop. The crust was a huge let down. With that said - I couldn't see their oven so maybe that's the difference. You see char so you think there will be crunch - but no such luck. The clams casino was just meh and I am very confused about the bell peppers. They were an unwelcomed surprise. So all in all, the highs were high, but the pizza was a letdown. Again - great vibe and service. I would totally go back for drinks and salads!

    Excellent neighborhood pizza joint with a separate smallish bar area that gets busy when university is in session. We appreciate that Dining room tables aren't on top of one another here. We also appreciate that Next Door has more than just quality pizza, in fact their apps & salads are fresh & interesting & are at a nice portion size for sharing. All of the pies made here have a wonderful chewy crust & great sauce. Next Door also makes a reasonably priced & tasty New Haven style clam pie for folks not wanting to shell out 30 bucks or more as Zu ¶¶ard!s charges, the difference being that with Z's pie you are getting fresh shucked clams at market prices & Next Door uses canned. Service is excellent & very efficient. Go for the homemade molasses cookies afterwards. PS: good parking in their own lot.

    While this was not my first time here I was lucky enough to have a mother daughter date at Next Door this past week. The Rossi Rita (Next Door's take on a strawberry margarita) hit the spot! My mom couldn't get over how this restaurant was so empty and served just as good pizza as the restaurants on Wooster street. We were immediately able to grab a parking space and once inside were able to select a table of our choosing. No need to wait outside! Food was served promptly and fresh. Do not sleep on this hidden gem!

    Unfortunately, the food was SO RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS this is all we have to show for the Clams Casino and Garlic Knots.

    We drove all the way from Durham NC for some New Haven pizza and Next Door did not disappoint!!!! You MUST order the garlic knots. Swimming in garlic...these are gooey-stretchy yeasty delights. The Clams Casino pizza was packed with flavor. Claudia and Doug were super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!!! Oh and the ambiance is super cute.

    Next Door is so much more then a pizza restaurant. We went there to try their great New Haven style thin crust pizza. We ordered a half mushroom, half sausage, mozz pizza. It was absolutely delicious, and perfectly cooked. But they also serve great appetizers, soups, stews, entrées, and sandwiches. They also make all their desserts on the premises. They even make their own ice cream. We ordered the strawberry shortcake made with their homemade biscuit.OMG it was so good. Our server was excellent, and the staff is very friendly.They also have a bar with seating, and a private party room.

    Just tried Next Door for the first time this month and it was so good! New Haven Style Apizza was on point - we had the Mashed Potato and the Fresh Mozzarella. The crust and toppings were all perfect. They also have gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. We tried the Penne Alla Vodka, which was delicious. The sauce was great, and excellent portion size. For a starter we had the Housemade Meatballs, which were very good. If you're a salad lover or want a side with your pizza the Winter Berry Salad was a great choice. If you saved room for dessert go for the Ice Cream Sammie, you won't be disappointed! Definitely make sure to check this place out. Staff is excellent, very friendly and accommodating. There's a small parking lot onsite and plenty of street parking. Also, spacious seating inside.

    Half chicken barbecue and half cheese pizza
    Kostas S.

    So my friend and I came here for dinner and ordered half a barbecue chicken and half cheese. The pizza was floppy but good. If I rate it 7.3 only one slice, my fingers got dirty from the crust, and it was oily in the cheese

    Mashed Potato Pie

    I got mash potato pie and it was SO GOOD!! I highly recommend it. The toppings were perfectly balanced with its dough, it's so savory and fluffy!

    Small half bacon and cheese pizza
    Shanina S.

    This was my first time here and as a pizza lover I had to try it out. The restaurant is cozy with a great bar area. Since it was my first time here, I wanted to try just a small half plain and bacon pizza. When it's my first time trying a new pizza place, I always get plain pizza because if you can't make plain pizza good then it's not good pizza. Also, when I try a new pizza place, I want to taste the flavors and if the pizza is good, then I'll go back and try different toppings. The pizza was very good and had great flavor. The dough was great and the customer was awesome. I would definitely be back again. As you can see, I ate the whole pizza. It was delicious.

    Saturday night in New Haven. I want really good pizza without hassle I come here. I drive by people standing out in rain in line for Modern. Meanwhile I order online here 15 min later drive up and grab some perfection. This pizza is seasoned perfectly. The garlic is all over it. Popping with flavor. tomato sauce, pecorino romano, evoo, oregano & fresh garlic are the ingredients. Nothing more needed for this slice of heaven.

Paid for the extra toppings in good faith that I would not get ripped off, and... got ripped off. Expect to do the staffs job and verify you got what you paid for.

    Between Frank Pepe's and BAR, my friend, a Yale student, prefers the latter, and as a mere tourist,…read moreI deferred the decision to her. Man, so glad I did. We arrived on a Monday around peak dinner time, but there was essentially no wait (apparently uncommon according to my friend -- just a delightful consequence of dining at a college town during the summer). We split a medium pizza (1/2 elote mexican street corn and 1/2 bbq brisket), proving to be more than enough for two plus a more than ample amount of leftovers. Recently, I've gravitated toward thinner pizzas, a far cry from the typical Detroit (foccacia-esque) style pizzas I used to prefer, and BAR's pizza is akin to a flatbread yet very thin, another fallen angel to the GLP's. The undercarriage boasts a brilliant crust, almost cracker-like. However, it should be noted that the pizza is indulgent all the same. The elote pizza is quite possibly the most memorable, unique pizza I've ever had; it arrives almost crimson-red with a generous layer of corn and takis atop. It's still incredibly well balanced despite the hodgepodge of varied toppings. It's hard to pick a favorite between this and the bbq brisket though; while one is incredibly unique the other is simply sumptuous, nothing pedestrian about either of the two. The service is also impeccable, almost rivaling that of southern hospitality. I always thought Californians were friendly but something is in the air every time I visit New Haven. Incredible!
