Pronounced Ah-Beetz

"Pronounced Ah-Beetz" explores everything from how the world-renowned pies are made to the parts of New Haven it comes from. The exhibit explores the evolution of pizza, our most popular food, covering the city's Italian immigrant neighborhoods in the 19th century, the areas where pizza is served today and the real people who toss the dough and spread the sauce. It examines the fun, the flavor and the history of pizza, including its origin as an affordable means of feeding workers in the fields of Italy, and how it became the food of the poor in the U.S.
