No list of New Haven food spots is complete without the venerable Louis’ Lunch, the self-proclaimed home of America’s first hamburger. The burger is served on toast and it is what it is - that is to say - it's the ultimate classic burger.
To some it is a piece of history. To others, a patty made out of heaven sandwiched between two pieces of pure delight. Still to many it is a classic old burger on toast. Whatever it may be to you, you will never know unless you check it out for your self!

Pacfico is known for their excellent service- expect to be treated like family!
The dinner menu has an assortment of small plates -we love the flavorful shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo); for something light, the cranberry salad with a light vinaigrette is incredible; for your main, I would recommend the shredded duck or salmon tartar. And finally, for something to share, the guacamole also gets rave reviews.

Pizza
If you are visiting New Haven you might already know that New Haven elevates pizza to the next level.
Sally's is a cornerstone in New Haven's pizza lore.
Every pie is hand made and baked in their famous coal fired ovens. The pizza is thin crusted, large, and slightly charred. If you are in the mood for something simple, go with the delicious plain mozzarella pie. For something a bit different, try their famous White Potato.
Be aware of the wait. Especially on weekends, expect to wait an hour. But the pizza is worth it.
Notable fans include Frank Sinatra, Al Gore, Kathleen Turner, Don Rickles, Jimmy Durante and Gary Trudeau.

Long considered a top 5 if not the number 1 pizzeria in the country, Frank Pepe's Pizzeria is a must visit. Unsurprisingly, Hyatus recommends the White Clam Pizza. Invented at Franke Pepe's (they also invented their coal-fired pizza ovens which are still in use today), the white clam pizza is made with fresh clams, garlic, cheese, olive oil, and is just absolutely delicious.

A bit further up from downtown but well worth the drive! Along with Sally's and Pepe, Modern is one of the top 3 Apizza spots that have made New Haven renowned for its pizza.
Enjoy delicious brick-oven, thin-crust pizzas in a simple but clean spot. The Hyatus favorite is their specialty Italian Bomb Pizza. But if you are feeling for something a bit less complex, go with the good old Plain Mozzarella. Clam and fresh tomato is also delicious.

Good beer and PacMan. What else do you need for a fun night out. The beer selection is large, small bites are what you would expect at a barcade, and the staff is very friendly. Overall, a major go for a group of friends or a fun date.

The OWL Shop is quintessential New Haven. The historic cigar bar has been around since prohibition, serving a wide selection of cigars, whiskey, cocktails, cognac, and bourbon. It can get loud at night but during the day it is the perfect place for a meeting or an upscale place to catch-up with an old Yale friend.
The Shop is ventilated well so if too much smoke normally bothers you, you still might want to give this spot a try.

All things considered, this might be your favorite place to dance, eat, and drink in New Haven. The vibe is lit, the pizza is scrumptious, the beer selection is fantastic, and the prices are great.
