The Brü Rm - New Haven

We put our names on the waitlist, and went to a bar nearby to wait. It took about 45 minutes on a Saturday night to seat a table for 2. But let me just say, it was worth the wait. This place serves the most incredible pizza. The ambiance is casual brewery with spectacular pies. We ordered the mashed potato pie (because why not) and the regular cheese pie. At first, we thought, who puts mashed potato on a pizza? A genius. THAT'S WHO. Kudos to the chef. And the regular cheese pie was a dream. What's even more gluttonous is that my partner and I stacked the mashed potato pie slice over a regular slice and our minds were blown. It's hard to say if this is better than Modern or Pepe's. But I can say this is some of the best pizza I've eaten outside of Italy.

Took my husband to BAR for the first time recently. We had to get the classic mashed potato pizza and some of their brews. The pizza is usually solid. Definitely the thinnest of the New Haven style and cut in rectangle slices. They have a great salad and they do it well. There is usually a wait, so be prepared. We were sat in the back room and were served quickly once we were sat. The room was big and the servers were nice. It's definitely a spot you need to hit!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a mini tour around New Haven with a friend, testing a variety of the finest apizza establishments around the city. This was the second stop on our quest. I had looked around and heard from my friend that the mashed potato and bacon was the pièce de resistance here. So we ventured out in the rainy weather to try it. Staff was kind and prompt, and made sure we were taken care of. This pie is probably some of the best I've tasted in my life, and having lived in NY/NJ, I've had some goooodd slices in my life. The salt and umami the cheese combo is just A plus. And the crust is perfectly charred and thin. I paired it with the BAR lager which was the perfect beer to go with the pizza. Compliments to the individual who came up with this. Additionally, the interior is stunning large windows, moody lighting with lots of wooden accents, fermentation vessels and a lovely painting above the bar on the other room. I'm so sad I've slept on New Haven pizza this long. I will surely be back.

This was my first time having New Haven pizza. Being from Florida, I didn't even know that was a thing. It was delicious! I wanted to order a simple pie since it was my first time so I got a red pie with mozzarella and pepperoni. Really good. The crust is a bit too charred for my liking. I prefer soft pizza crust but that's personal preference. I'd def return to try more adventurous toppings like the mashed potato pie.

Best pizza in Connecticut. The mashed potato pizza always a fan favorite, but all pizzas have been good, prices seem fair given how large the pizzas are. Also with a large drink list, we've had fun staying for the club atmosphere as well. Never any issue with service , though it can get quite busy in the weekends.
