Sally’s Apizza Opens in Wethersfield August 29th

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.

Sally’s Apizza in Wethersfield will continue to cater to pizza lovers, using the same recipe from nearly a century ago. Nine pizzas are on the menu including the classic Tomato Sauce Pie, Mozzarella & Tomato and Potato & Rosemary. A rotating selection of up-to-three additional seasonal pies will also always be available. Made to order in three sizes, all pizzas are handmade and coal-fired, characterized by a thin charred crust, tangy tomato sauce and a light touch of mozz that New Haven-style pizzas are known for.

The restaurant features a full cocktail bar with an expanded wine list that offers proprietary Italian varietals. Classic cocktails like Italian Old Fashioned and Sicilian Margarita, a dedicated “Spruzzo” section, mocktails, draft beer and fountain sodas, including New Haven original Foxon Park, round out the selection.

While designed for the modern customer, Sally’s Apizza in Wethersfield evokes the familial spirit of the original Wooster Street location. Sally's Apizza’s proprietary oven is easily recognized by its iconic signature pattern of red and white colored tile. The honey oak wood-paneled walls are lined with memorabilia honoring all time great rock guitarists and other musicians. The spacious and inviting dining room of 85 seats, allows for guests to relax in one of the many caramel-colored leather booths or at the nine-seat bar. A spacious patio, that can hold nearly 40 guests, will open in spring 2025.
