West Haven’s Zuppardi’s Apizza Opening New Spot In Ansonia

WEST HAVEN, CT — West Haven’s iconic Zuppardi’s Apizza is expanding with plans to open a prep kitchen with a takeout storefront in Ansonia, the owners announced this week.

“We are excited to announce that our newest addition to the Zuppardi’s family business is finally developing in Ansonia, CT!” reads a post on the Zuppardi’s Facebook page. “Our Ansonia space is located at 58 Beaver St. and will operate as a prep kitchen for our pizza truck. In addition, we will serve daytime slices, some sandwiches, and prepared items to be taken home. We will also accommodate takeout pizza orders with limited hours, as we plan to be open and fully operational THIS WINTER!

“We are very excited for this newest adventure and thank our loyal customers for your continued support.”

Zuppardi's started out as a bakery and was founded by Dominic Zuppardi, who was a master bread-baker in New Haven throughout the 1920s. He worked in a variety of bakeries making artisan Italian breads, as well as "abeetz," according to the Zuppardi's website.

Dominic suffered a stroke in the late 1940s and his son Anthony eventually took over the daily operations of the business and recognized the popularity of the bakery's pizza and made it his primary focus.

Anthony Zuppardi passed away in 1988, but his children and grandchildren continue to operate Zuppardi's today.
