In Connecticut, the word "apizza" means something specific — and Amore Apizza in Wallingford takes that seriously. Grande mozzarella, homemade sauce, fresh-baked bread, and pies that keep regulars coming back.
Apizza the Way It Was Meant to Be
New Haven-style apizza means thin, blistered crust with a distinctive char — built on Italian-American tradition. Amore brings that tradition to Wallingford, where it's become the place people drive out of their way to reach.
What Goes Into Every Pie
Every pizza starts with Grande mozzarella and pecorino romano — a pairing that separates real apizza from everything else. The sauce is homemade, the bread for grinders is baked fresh daily, and the garlic knots are tossed in parmesan, basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
A Menu With Real Names
Pies like the Buffaque, Rocky's Ricotta, and Eddie J's Hot and Spicy carry the names of real people. First-timers tend to claim their own pretty fast.
Beyond the Pizza Box
Lasagna, eggplant rollatini, and baked ziti each come with salad and fresh Italian bread. Gluten-free, cauliflower crust, and a full vegan pizza are always on the menu.
