After a campus visit, a long shift or a day of unpacking, a pizza box on the table can be exactly the dinner you want. In New Haven, Wooster Street gives you two places to start. Pick the address first, then choose a pickup time that fits the trip back to where you’re staying.
Choose a Wooster Street counter
- Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, 157 Wooster Street. The New Haven menu lists the original tomato pie with grated pecorino Romano and offers a separate version with mozzarella. If you came for the white clam pizza, choose pickup. The menu lists that pie for dine-in and takeout only. Frank Pepe’s New Haven menu
- Sally’s Apizza, 237 Wooster Street. The restaurant’s New Haven page lists takeout and links to its menu and ordering page. Use that location page to confirm the address and check how to place your order. Sally’s on Wooster Street
If you’re ordering for a group, settle toppings before you get to checkout. The words “tomato pie” may give people different ideas about the cheese. Read the topping list, and if someone has an allergy, ask the restaurant directly about ingredients and preparation before ordering.
Work back from when you want to eat
Start with the time you expect everyone to be back. Check how long the return trip is likely to take, then choose a pickup window if the restaurant offers one. If the evening is hard to predict, check the current estimate once you know when you can leave.
- Check the location and order type. Both names have other locations. Look for the Wooster Street address and pickup in the order details.
- Give one person the pickup information. Forward the restaurant address, the name on the order and any instructions about where to collect it.
- Plan the way back. If you’re taking the bus, check the return leg for your pickup time using CTtransit’s trip planner. If you’re driving, leave time to park and walk to the counter.
Give yourself somewhere to set the box down
Before you head out, clear a spot for the box and see what plates and utensils you have. If one person is picking up on the way home, someone else can handle drinks or a side. For a night when everyone gets back at different times, agree on what to set aside before anyone opens the box.
