Legendary New Haven Pizzeria To Open 2 MA Locations

WOBURN, MA — Sally's Apizza, an iconic New Haven establishment with 85 years of history, will open restaurants in Woburn and Boston. Founded by Salvatore "Sally" Consiglio in 1938, Sally's has often earned recognition as one of the best pizzerias in the country.

The new Massachusetts restaurants are part of Sally's aggressive expansion strategy. In Connecticut, Sally's opened a Stamford location in 2021 and a Fairfield location in 2022, with plans to open more restaurants in Wethersfield, Norwalk, and Newington. They also have "target development markets" in several Florida cities.

The Woburn location is scheduled to open this year. The Boston Seaport restaurant is anticipated to open in 2024.

New Haven-style pizza is distinguished by its charred crust, with the pie intentionally left longer in the hot brick oven.

“We hand-craft authentic New Haven pizza in custom designed ovens using the original recipes,” reads a post on Sally's website. “Famous for our distinctive tomato sauce and chewy, crispy crust with an iconic oven-kissed char, Sally’s draws pizza fans from around the world.”

Many dignitaries, athletes, and stars have dined at Sally's over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Kathleen Turner, Don Rickles, and Jimmy Durante among others. The restaurant was also featured in the full-length documentary "Pizza: A Love Story."
