I am freaking DYING for a Dayton St. Apizza, and it's closed this week! I had a pizza from there a couple of weeks ago, and it was the best pizza I've ever had. Just a couple of blocks from me! Very convenient except for this week.

Forgive me if I've posted this next part. I remember writing about this before, but I think I lost the post or something.

Do any of you New Havenites know what the deal is with the word "apizza"? Modern Apizza, Sally's Apizza, Dayton St. Apizza, etc. From searching Google it looks like it's mostly a New Haven thing. But no one says "apizza." They say "pizza" just like anywhere else. But you see "apizza" on all the signs. And the people I've asked about it never know. Maybe I should ask at one of the apizza places. Hmmmmmmmm. It's so crazy it just might work.

Dammit, I'm fixin' to get an apizza from SOMEWHERE, dammit.

update: hmmm, this page says a little about it.

It's Friday night.

I'm a bit concerned that you're worrying about etymology.

Sad indeed. So come slap some sense into me.

I can't, I'm in the middle of baking 5641 batches of muffins. And one batch of peanut butter cookies.

At first I thought "apizza" was either a typo or really fake Italian.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about fake Italian the first couple of times I saw it! But these people are the real deal. :)

Obviously you've never had Ben's (http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7109302/), for it is the best pizza on the entire planet! It's on the corner of Macdougal and West 3rd Street.

Yeah, it's weird--I keep hearing this stereotypically heavy Italian accent saying, "aPIZza pie!"
