On this episode of Pro Moves, host Adam Richman is eating his way through the pizza capital of the world. No, not New York City. Not Italy. But the beautiful Elmy City of New Haven, Connecticut. Real ones know that for nearly 100 years New Haven has been quietly churning out some of the best pizza on the planet, pioneering an ultra crispy, super crunchy, coal-fired take on the Neapolitan pie. Having gone to college in New Haven, Adam is well acquainted with the city's slice game, but today he's on a mission to sample some of the unsung heroes of the New Haven pizza scene.
Joined by pizza scholar Scott Wiener, Adam eats his way through the menu at West Haven institution Zuppardi's, before heading to the legendary Modern Apizza on State Street. Finally, Adam ends his tour at the Little Rendezvous—a legendary pizzeria in Meriden cooking pies in a 137-year-old oven.
