West Haven's Zuppardi's Apizza Announces New Addition To Business

The iconic pizzeria has announced a new addition to the family business.

WEST HAVEN, CT — West Haven’s iconic Zuppardi’s Apizza announced a new addition to its family business on Monday – the Zuppardi’s Mobile Slice Shop.

“Our Slice Shop on Wheels is equipped to work with Universities, Colleges, Entertainment Venues, Hospitality Groups, and more!” the owners wrote in a post on Facebook. “Our continuous goal is to provide our family’s pizza to as many customers as we can, while upholding the standard of our 90 year legacy. We hope each of our customers continues to enjoy our product and we greatly appreciate your continued support!”

Zuppardi's started out as a bakery and was founded by Dominic Zuppardi, who was a master bread-baker in New Haven throughout the 1920s. He worked in a variety of bakeries making artisan Italian breads, as well as "abeetz," according to the Zuppardi's website.

Dominic suffered a stroke in the late 1940s and his son Anthony eventually took over the daily operations of the business and recognized the popularity of the bakery's pizza and made it his primary focus.

Anthony Zuppardi passed away in 1988, but his children and grandchildren continue to operate Zuppardi's today.
