Sally’s Apizza, the iconic New-Haven restaurant and bar, founded by Salvatore “Sally” Consiglio in 1938, will open on Thursday, August 29 at 5:00pm in Wethersfield. Situated on the ground level of the residential complex, The Borden at 1178 Silas Deane Highway, the Sally’s Apizza in Wethersfield marks the first of four forthcoming Hartford area locations, including Farmington, Newington, and South Windsor.
Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Bret Lunsford created a menu of noteworthy additions to complement long standing favorites. Guests will notice a variety of starters and salads to start off the meal such as Italian Wings with Calabrian Chili; Meatballs served in marinara and accompanied with house-made focaccia; a Wedge and Caesar Salad as well as a selection of bruschettas including Tomato and Eggplant. An expanded entree section features both Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan; two pastas including a ricotta-filled Ravioli and Chicken Francese.
New Haven is a foodie destination. We’ve got a scene for every foodie, but here, every “apizza” is personal. Pronounced “ah-beetz” by folks across the Greater New Haven Region, New Haven pizza always wins.
In the Elm City, pizza is a way of life and a cornerstone of our foodie culture. On our plates and in the books of state lawmakers, pizza is on its way to becoming the official state food of Connecticut, thanks to the “Pizza Bill.” The bill, SB 390, was authored by New Haven’s pizza historian Colin Caplan, and passed through the state house in 2021, up for a vote in the senate again this year. Our pizzas taste good, and our pies are also truly historic, (Frank Pepe’s, Connecticut’s oldest pizzeria, turned 98 this year, and is the fourth-oldest pizzeria in the country).

Yeah, yeah. We know. You like (INSERT YOUR FAVORITE NEW HAVEN PIZZA JOINT HERE) better. Or you’ll have a snarky comment to leave that’s along the lines of “Sally’s New Haven is better!” or “I’m done because they sold out!”
Don’t care.
We don’t even need to dive into the history of Sally’s. Chances are you probably know it already anyway.
But either way you slice it—yeah that’s a pizza pun—you’re intrigued by what the inside looks like and a few tidbits about what’s new at Sally’s first shot at a modern version of their growing ‘za business. And a couple visuals of their famous pies won’t hurt you either!
