Learn about the history of your favorite food at “Pronounced Ah-Beetz”

Bill Pustari of Modern Apizza making one of his signature pies, shortly after purchasing Modern Apizza in 1988.

“Pronounced Ah-Beetz” will examine the fun, the flavor and the history of pizza, including its origin as an affordable means of feeding workers in the fields of Italy, and how it became the food of the poor in the U.S. The Italian migration to New Haven gave way to Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Napoletana, which gave birth to Sally’s Apizza, while a mile away Tony’s Apizza became Modern. How these three establishments became among the most iconically loved pizza restaurants in the country will be a major focus.

Opening October 9, 2025 at the New Haven Museum.

This Friday we welcome back our award winning American Lager, Modern Classic.

A super clean and delicious lager beer brewed with a portion of flaked corn and fermented with an old world lager yeast. These elements come together to create this remarkably tasty and highly drinkable beer.

Modern Classic cans and draft will be available in our beer hall and at this week!
