Little Rendezvous

As a New Haven native since moving north years ago I’ve always been searching for a good thin crust new haven style pizza and I’m usually disappointed and make the long drive down 91 for a descent pie. I have to say I’m impressed with the 2 pizzas I ordered here love that coal fired flavor and the sauce had a great taste. Will definitely be making many more orders at little rendezvous in the future so glad I discovered this place.oh and they have foxon park soda a true sign of the best Apizza

I walked into Little Rendezvous back in 1987 and met Paul while he was spinning up a pizza. He recommended a white clam with bacon and garlic and I was hooked. I averaged 2 or 3 pizzas a week. Always had it well done, that oven did wonderful things for a pizza. I've NEVER found a pizza that tasted as good, even in Italy. BEST of the BEST. Happy to know the tradition carries on after Pauls retirement. If I ever find my way out of Florida back to CT, I'd go out of my way for a white clam pizza. Too bad u don't ship to Florida.

The pies being turned out here at the rendezvous are unique unto themselves... The Circa 1800s bread oven transformed into a pizza oven early in its life produce a unique charred crust it's unlike any other I have come across... The dough has a unique kind of crisp to it in a sort of heartiness it's still somehow being thin and light. The sauce on this pie compliments the cheese which is rich in a little salty... Tucked away in the back of this little unassuming spot is the gastronomical revelation if you ever have yourself a moment even a second if you consider yourself a pizza enthusiast or fanatic then this is a must stop you cannot go wrong with anything that you order here. Pro tip: order a plain with just garlic (simple is sometimes perfect)

Best pizza in Meriden hands down. You can't beat brick oven. My family has been coming here for years. Absolutely delicious every time we go. Making a good pie is an art, and these guys know what they're doing for sure. They've carried on the tradition of top level pizza, from past generations who have owned this place exceptionally well. Aesthetically they still even have the original dining tables and chairs from long ago, and the same brick oven untouched. There's a reason why they've been here over a hundred years. Forget fast food pizza and order yourself a real pie.
