If you’re in search of a late-night slice after spending the night out, here are some recommended spots around Yale’s campus and New Haven to check out!

1. Brick Oven Pizza

Open till 3 a.m., this is a popular spot amongst Yalies to grab a slice of pizza near campus. Selections range from a classic cheese pizza to their special “Bad” Chad Dawson Pizza with sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, turkey ham, salami, and bacon. Other options include the Sweetie Pizza with peas, tomatoes, mozzarella, ricotta, and basil, and the Rafi Bildner Pizza with feta, tomatoes, olives, and olive oil. This place really has range.

2. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

Established in 1925, Frank Pepe’s (not to be confused with Pepe the Frog) has been making New Haven-style pizza for 100 years. Perusing through their menu, once again, New Haven is serving up interesting combos like Patata Rustica (seasoned potatoes, bacon, mozzarella, asiago cheese, grated pecorino romano, and olive oil). We always ask whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. But more importantly, do potatoes belong on pizza?? Kind of confused with what’s going on in New Haven with their pizza, but I’m willing to give it a chance.

3. Bar New Haven

Combining pizza, a bar, and a dance club, Bar New Haven is a nightclub with pizza. However, you must be 21+ to enter. For those under 21, you must be with your own parent to be inside the bar… womp womp

4. Modern Apizza

Modern Apizza’s story begins with an Italian American man named Antonio “Tony” Tolli in 1911, which only adds to its authenticity. Classic and straightforward, the menu shows that Modern knows how to do pizza well. Since it’s open only till 10 p.m., maybe hit Modern Apizza before you start your night out.

5. Silver Sands Pizza

Located in Milford, the town over from New Haven, Silver Sands was on TikToker munchermatt’s pizza review channel. If you’re serious about getting an authentic New Haven slice, this could be it. One reviewer described it on Yelp as “kind of off putting,” which is maybe how we all feel about visiting Yale.
