Thanks @ctpizzatour and @craft_paper_supply for organizing the fastest pizza cutter competition! Although the rules require using a pizza wheel, we wanted to get in on the fun!

We are old-school, traditionalists with our knives! Originally, pizzas were cut with the mezzaluna (half moon) knife. The tool we know as the pizza wheel was originally patented in 1892 as a wallpaper trimmers and wasn't used to cut pizza until the 1920s. by @yorksidepizza

📍𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐚 & 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 - 288 York St - New Haven, CT

Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant is a Greek-style pizzeria that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in January 1977. It was founded by the Koutroumanis family, which includes brothers George, Tony and Greg. The family immigrated to the United States from Greece in 1958. Almost immediately after getting settled, the various members of the family began working in the restaurant business in some sort of capacity. By the late 1960s, the Koutroumanis family had opened West Haven Pizza Palace in West Haven and Broadway Pizza in New Haven. Following the success of the family’s pizzerias, they opened Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant on York Street, just around the corner from Broadway Pizza. Yorkside’s signature Greek-style pan pizzas quickly became popular with Yale University students as well as patrons from the neighboring performance venue Toad’s Place. Aside from the signature pizzas, the menu also includes seafood dishes, pasta dishes, steakhouse entrees, classic Greek & Italian staples, sandwiches, salads, soups, and various appetizers. Today the establishment is run by George, his wife Nota, and their family.

I recently stopped at Yorkside Pizza for dinner prior to attending a show at Toad’s Place. Although I have lived in the area my whole life, and I’ve walked by Yorkside more times than I can count, this was actually my first visit. While I am partial to New Haven-style apizza, Greek-style pizza has been growing on me recently. My server seated me at a booth and I begin to scroll through the extensive menu. I ended up ordering two smalls: a “Four Cheese Pizza” (mozzarella, feta, ricotta & provolone cheese) and a “Mediterranean” (mozzarella, crab, clams, anchovies & tuna). Yorkside’s pizzas are made from scratch everyday, and you can tell. These pies had so much flavor and the crust was light, crispy and flaky. I washed everything down with a can of New England Brewing’s “Sea Hag” IPA. I ended up taking half of the pies home for my family to sample. If you’re planning on attending a show at Toad’s Place, I highly recommend stopping at Yorkside either before or after the show! 🇬🇷🍕😋 taken in Yorkside Pizza & Restaurant by @yorksidepizza
