Wooster Square

Wooster Square is New Haven's most beloved neighborhood, famous worldwide as the epicenter of New Haven-style apizza. Home to legendary pizzerias Frank Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern, this charming district was once the center of the city's Italian-American community. Every April, the neighborhood's stunning cherry blossom trees draw thousands to the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Beyond pizza, you'll find the beautiful Wooster Square Park, historic brownstones, and a tight-knit community that takes immense pride in its culinary legacy. The neighborhood has evolved with newer spots like Gioia adding to its legendary food scene.
