Pizza House, located at 89 Howe St in the heart of New Haven, CT, is a must-visit destination for pizza lovers craving authentic, flavorful pies served in a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere. This beloved local spot has carved out a special place for itself with its carefully crafted menu that offers a rich variety of pizza options, making every visit a unique culinary experience.
Known for its mouthwatering signature creations, Pizza House highlights include the bold and savory Sausage Pepperoni and Feta Cheese pizza, the indulgently cheesy Sausage Pizza with Extra Cheese, and the intriguingly sweet and savory combination of Olive, Onion, Pepperoni, Pineapple, and Sausage. Vegetarians aren’t left out, with fresh and earthy options like the Eggplant, Onion, and Mushroom Pizza that balance textures beautifully.
For those who prefer a hearty, meat-packed slice, the Meat Lovers Pizza or the Chicken and Broccoli variety deliver robust, juicy flavors that satisfy deeply. Lighter but equally satisfying choices include half-and-half pizzas, such as the Half Veggie and BBQ Chicken or the classic Half Cheese Half Sausage and Peppers, allowing you to sample multiple favorites in one order.
One of Pizza House’s secret charms lies in its crust—thin and perfectly crisped with an inviting finish that customers have noted is truly distinct. The pies are sliced in classic squares and smothered with just the right amount of their signature sauce, creating a symphony of flavors in every bite. From a simple plain cheese slice to a fully loaded house special, each pizza bursts with quality ingredients and bold, satisfying taste.
The dining experience is enhanced by the restaurant’s warm and cozy ambiance. Renovated recently, the space balances a modern look while preserving the friendly vibe that longtime patrons cherish. Guests frequently comment on the friendly staff, especially “Chippy,” whose welcoming manner adds an extra touch of hospitality, making visitors feel genuinely cared for.
Apart from pizza, Pizza House also offers a selection of tasty sides like their well-loved hot wings—both mild and hot—perfect for sharing or complementing your meal. Fans rave about pairing their slices with crisp cans of Snapple or Foxon Park drinks, completing the comfort food experience with refreshing beverages.

This was one of few pizza places that I have not tried in Downtown New Haven. It has a great atmosphere. You can easily enjoy your pie eating in. Since it seems like they don't have an online ordering system, I had to call to place my order. The small Pepperoni pie came out after 20 minutes. I don't know what they use to cook their pizza, but the crust finish feels and tastes like if it was cooked in a pan. No, it is not thick. But IMO it tastes like it. Very good taste overall. Would eat here again, especially if it's late night and I'm a little boozy.
Went back to see if Pizza House STILL has good pizza and IT DOES! Its ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. Nice thin crust and sliced in squares with the Right amount of their signature sauce. I enjoy their Sausage/Pepperoni with Garlic and you will THANK me later! Great job for maintaining a good PIZZA when I need it most!
I have been going here for years! I love the pizza it is such a staple for me. The space has been renovated recently but the new owners/management has tried to keep the food and space the same as much as possible just a bit more modern. I recommend and try their pizza and wings.

I went Last night Chippy the Owner/ Manager was very pleasant he had the music playing. He's so humble and makes sure everything is to your liking. He so hands.
I came in late, just hoping to grab a quick bite, but instead I got one of the best experiences ever. The young guy working the oven welcomed me with a big smile and, believe it or not, gave me his own pizza that he was making for himself. That first bite said it all — perfectly crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavor that felt like comfort and kindness in every slice. The staff was friendly, funny, and clearly loved what they do. Pizza House isn’t just about great food — it’s about great people who make you feel right at home.
