Meet Frank Morale. Frank and his son, Anthony, run Anthony John’s Pizzeria in North Branford, Connecticut. Frank started making pizza when at the ripe age of 13 in Brooklyn, New York and has made every single pizza pie at Anthony John’s since opening in May of 2010. No joke; this is some of the best pizza in Connecticut. Hands down. All you pizza connoisseurs are invited to take a trip to 5 Foxon Road in North Branford and try it for yourself.

On May 5th, Anthony John’s Pizzeria competed alongside five local flavors at the North Branford Senior Center’s third annual Pizza Wars competition. Drawing in more than 400 blind taste testers, Anthony John’s came in with a close second, losing first place to only 8 votes. Nevertheless, pretty damn good for a first year entrant and first year in business.

Check out my video introducing all the competing pizzerias that aired the day of the tasting:
