    We finally made it to Ernie's and so glad we did! We have been in the pizza business many years so know the hard work and dedication put into run a great place with a great product. The pizza was delicious, service was great and the owner so nice! Brought me back to my childhood growing up in the business. My father pride himself on great pizza, clean environment and hospitality. We found that here! Can't wait to go back.

    Outside of New Haven, on the side of a busy road, you can find this little gem. Unlike the tourist attractions in Little Italy, this is a neighborhood pizza place where you can find great pizza with a lot of different types and flavors. The owner is very friendly, the place is always hopping with locals. In my experience this is one of the top 5 pizza places in New Haven area. The atmosphere is very family friendly, a great place to have dinner after a hard day of work. My favorite is the Ernie's special. Highly recommended.

    Recently had a chance to try Ernie's as it was my fiancés birthday meal choice. We went around 3:30-4pm and it was pretty hopping at that time! Staff were so great and friendly! My fiance got his usual boring plain cheese and I got half meatball half eggplant. Let me tell you the hype on the meatballs is real. These probably some of the best meatballs I've ever had.!!! So good. Eggplant was thin and yummy! Good sauce m, generous toppings and plenty of cheese. The only thing I didn't like much was the crust. Super dry and almost like a cracker. Not my style but my fiance loves everything about this place!!
