About Us
The history of App's Restaurant began in 1942 on Beach Street at Savin Rock, when our grandparents Frederick and Susan Apicella opened their doors in West Haven. For many years they served Pizza and recipes of "old school simple food" always prepared by hand in a casual Savin Rock neighborhood, welcoming diners, until West Haven Redevelopment forced them to close. It was not until 1976, when it was reopened at 283 Captain Thomas Boulevard (our present location) by our parents Theresa and Vincent Apicella with Nicholas and Gloria Angeloni. But if the truth be told, the origin of App's Restaurant can be traced as far back as the early 1900's, when our great grandfather Vincenzo, his wife Anna and their son's Frederick and Eddie opened Eddie-App's Pizza on Washington Avenue in New Haven, and quickly App's Restaurant developed a reputation for delicious Italian food.
