Pizza: A Love Story

"Pizza, A Love Story" is a documentary not only of delicious pizza in New Haven, CT, it's a also the history about Italian immigration and how the pizza we love got its origin. You'll see famous people talk about their favorite spots of "the big three". You'll learn how pizza originally was a "poor man's food", and how it became the popular delicacy it is all over the world. The director does an outstanding job mixing in history and humor, all the while paying his homage to our favorite Italian treat.

Whether you live in CT, NY, NJ (we know there's great pizza in those states too) or anywhere in the US, do yourself a favor and see "Pizza, A Love Story". You may want to grab some pizza before or after the movie. I can't imagine you'd want anything else to eat.

This documentary is an engaging look at New Haven pizza and an enjoyable musing on what makes authentic pizza so much better than most of the junk you can find in national chains. It will be particularly amusing and satisfying for those of us in the Northeast who have tasted the difference. The pizza makers are interesting, the testimonials are touching, and the pizza looks amazing. I learned a lot about one of my favorite subjects, pizza!

This documentary did a fabulous job of capturing both the heart of Connecticut and the value of three families who created food history. Definitely worth a watch!

Get the family together and make your own pizza and sit down while it's hot and watch the movie. It is so fun to learn the history, see the colorful characters and you will be transported to New Haven with every bite.

APIZZA yum! I was introduced to it in 2000 and make a pilgrimage to New Haven several times a year. Pepes, Sally's or Modern everyone has a favorite. Mine... Pepes

I think it is time to go back and do the taste test!

Enjoy...

I loved this movie. The history and culture of New Haven is explored in an interesting way. Chicago style is basically a casserole. This film made me laugh out loud and incredibly hungry.
