I am visiting New Haven from New Mexico (editing a book with my publisher here) and I'm in chow heaven. We have been eating out alot... particularly pizza since it's a perverbial dessert for pizza in New Mexico. The clam pizza at Pepe's was great but the clam pie and the tomato with pepperoni and sausage from Modern Apizza were right up there too. My favorite pizzza though was Roseland Apizza in Derby. The clam pie (has cheese) and was terrific but the Rosemary pie made me swoon. It had cheese, rosemary sea salt and the thinest crust I have ever eaten. The house special with tomato,cheese and homemade sausage was unbelievable too. Take out from Gastronomic over near the campus was a winner too. We had Tuna w/ wasbi mashed potatoes and duck breast with wild mushroom risotto. Lucabello's in West Haven was pretty good too. Obscene sized portions. The Goulash Place in Danbury is not to be missed. Wow! The best stuffed cabbage and goulash I have had in years and Magda the owner is woth the trip.
